@clickskeyboard @gerritcroes We’re about to place our preorders! Will the Communicator support Android desktop mode?

When Copilot suggests being more lenient with styling/naming practices, do you:

A) Accept, prioritizing work over conflict
B) Reject, loud failure over silent tolerance

I've just discovered I'm a firm B. What about y'all and how are you guiding copilot for future reviews?

💥 Today we’re introducing Prism—a free, AI-native workspace for scientists to write and collaborate on research, powered by GPT-5.2.

Accelerating science requires progress on two fronts:
1. Frontier AI models that use scientific tools and can tackle the hardest problems
2. Integrating that AI into the products scientists use every day

Prism is free to anyone with a ChatGPT account, with unlimited projects and collaborators.

Try it today at https://t.co/cmEsJYRtW9—would love to hear your feedback.

How it started vs how it’s going

[Jason @jrodriguez]

@vicapow Congratulations Victor!!
Really enjoyed Crixet and can’t even imagine the features that’ll be added as Prism!

Thanks for always providing incredible support in the Discord amongst all the dad responsibilities ❤️

[Jason @jrodriguez]

I used this platform when it was still Crixet! Researchers typically write our papers in LaTeX or Word documents, depending on where you’ll submit your completed paper. This is true across Cybersecurity, Programming, Life Sciences, Education, etc. based research.

I’ve yet to check out how much OpenAI has provided to “do our research” within this platform, but definitely reporting our findings, I could see this being useful and am excited to migrate.

@arlanr Would you consider handwritten letters?
I’ve done it for all our 3-year commitment customers 📩
It may seem counterintuitive for a tech-forward company, but I appreciate the intentionality, and others seem to as well!
I’m a huge fan of your work and emails!

Serious question for those about to be or currently affected by the #snowstorm :

When you get back inside the house, do the long johns stay on underneath your loungewear, or do they come off with your outside clothes?

Great day to be in Maryland

[National Weather Service @NWS]

Take this storm seriously, folks.

Moderate to major impacts are expected from the Central US through to the Northeast today through the weekend.
- Hazardous to impossible driving conditions are expected. Avoid travel if at all possible.
- Widespread closures and disruption to infrastructure may also occur.

Stay weather aware and up to date on the latest alerts and weather conditions by following your local national weather service office on social media or checking https://t.co/qk3BcVP5M8.

Genuine question for coffee shops open from 9 am to 2 pm.
WTF?
You literally don’t cater to early or late grinders. Who is your target market?

Just finished “Homelessness Is a Housing Problem”. I’m very hopeful this is Elon’s long-term vision.

AI advances will displace staggering numbers of people, many of which are already vulnerable and at high risk of unemployment and homelessness. We must catch them and give others the reassurance they’ll also be okay long-term.

@pontusab @tristanbob Any advice for initing a Tauri project in a monorepo structure? Just not a lot of docs

[Jason @jrodriguez]

Didn’t have ‘getting called a nerd by a student’ on my 2026 bingo card, especially not in week one 😅

But, I was literally just thinking about one of my mentors who taught me C concepts to make me a better Python programmer.

Truly a full circle moment 🤯🤓

Hackers don’t take holidays, and I was always saddened because this meant neither do most security teams. 😔

This year, our AI-powered SOC (security operations center) is changing that: intelligently triaging alerts, filtering noise, and handling routine threats 24/7.

So our experts can log off, recharge with family, and only jump in for real high-impact issues.

Enjoy the holidays with peace of mind! ❤️🛡️🎄

React2Shell Post-Mortem (CVE-2025-55184 / 67779 / 55183)
Three High-severity vulns dropped → DoS + RCE + source code leaks possible in just hours.

Our outcome?
Zero production impact despite CVSS 7.5
How we survived:
- Dependabot alerts
- Patches deployed quickly and full verification completed using community PoCs testing tools.

Takeaway: Automated dependency hygiene isn’t “nice-to-have” It’s your unpaid 24/7 security team.

If your Dependabot is gathering dust or disabled “because too noisy”, you’re one bad vuln away from a very bad day.

How's your post-mortem going?
What’s your fastest patch time this year?

@reggitales Love seeing exciting and useful projects in the space! Let me in!! 😆

Is she as interested in your love languages as she is these unverified dependencies?
If not, you know what to do: disconnect, and focus on yourself, king.
