Catch me at @cyphercon.bsky.social on the 1s and 2s. 👾

The most interesting way I’ve heard someone try to hide that their music is AI: “It’s music I wrote, but didn’t perform”.

Compilation featuring @alexacacia.com and more All proceeds go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. eff.org defconcommunications.bandcamp.com/album/def-co...

It's the first #BandcampFriday of the year and I have some recommendations for you! 🥳 Today, the proceeds of all albums, singles and compilations in here get donated to good causes of different kinds. Please have a look, get yourself some great music and help folks out!

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

I finally made it to the Mecca (Buc-ees)

NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. Our latest:

An absolute classic. #NowPlaying youtu.be/bc5Nk1DXyEY?...

The drip that influenced millions around the world.

Our project, “Chicago Under Siege,” documents the fear people lived in, the ways they sought to organize and resist and the heartbreak they experienced under Operation Midway Blitz. blockclubchi.co/3Ye4GGa

Watched Die Hard for the first time with @padawan0.bsky.social

Pigments 7 is out. 👀 www.arturia.com/products/sof...

cloudflare's on-duty IT staff bangs on the doors which I have padlocked from the inside as I calmly break open lava lamp after lava lamp and drink the contents

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

FICSIT has delayed my next project indefinitely until I deliver more smart plates

Just made my first sale on @bandcamp.com - it's surreal. 👾

Tonight is Indie Boom Shockwave Were going to listen to a finely curated playlist of tracks I adore. That's all. Well, there may be more, but Im not telling.

I just got word that my unreleased track "Submit, Repeat" will be featured on the DEF CON 33 soundtrack this year and that the proceeds will go toward the @eff.org I'm always honored to be able to be a part of these and help contribute to a good cause. 👾

It's awesome to see mainstream creators bring security/privacy topics to their viewers - I hope this inspires folks to try things like self-hosting and home-labbing. 👾 youtu.be/u_Lxkt50xOg?...

Welcome to the Operator Program! soundcloud.com/alexacacia/w...

the body and blood of christ

Finally got the final pieces together for a hybrid setup. I can't wait for the first opportunity to play out with it. 👾 Ft. #Maschine, #Z1, and #X1

NEW: Police are using “tower dumps” to get data on any vehicle that connected to cell towers thanks to connected car features. But automaker & ISP policies dictate what cops can get w/o a warrant. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop. (no paywall bc FOIA) www.wired.com/story/police...

Sí, tienes derecho a grabar! Aunque ICE intente bloquearlo, tus derechos como observador son fundamentales para la transparencia y la justicia.

Got promoted from vibe coder to vibe engineer 🥳
