@TheRegister @johnaweiler @awscloud @SpaceForceDoD ... who actually understands how #federal #technology #procurement is supposed to work, and how it usually really works in practice, and is working to narrow that gap.
Kudos to @ThomasClaburn for writing this and @TheRegister for running it.

Five years ago today, my friend & @PostOpinions writer Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by agents of Saudi Arabia.

For today's paper, I wrote about a disturbing @TIME party held in the aftermath of his murder--which taught me how cruel U.S. media can be.

"The sudo command-line tool has been implemented in the Rust programming language to hopefully rid it of any exploitable memory-safety bugs." Thanks to @ThomasClaburn for covering our stable release of sudo-rs in your @TheRegister article! https://t.co/bnfZro3lwP

Wonderful reporting on surveillance vendors contacting developers of browser extensions and the pressure to accept $20K/month of "passive income without any PR risks."

Great sentiments by the Hover Zoom+ developer, Oleg Anashkin.
