I'm about to do a Reddit AMA about BlueLeaks, the 269gb hack of police data, with Mara Hvistendahl from The Intercept. We've been digging into the data and reporting on it -- ask any questions you have! https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/i3nnup/were_an_investigative_reporter_and_the_director/
I'm quoted because of this blog post I wrote a while back: https://nolanlawson.com/2017/03/05/what-it-feels-like-to-be-an-open-source-maintainer/
In case anyone's wondering, I feel a lot less stressed now about OSS development. My main strategy was:
- divest myself of open-source projects I neither had the passion nor time to maintain anymore (PouchDB and associated plugins; I created a pouchdb-community org to manage it)
- set up email filter rules for GitHub notifications, categorizing by org. I hard-ignore repos I don't care about
- doing less OSS 😕
imagine being able to hack all those Twitter accounts and not using it as an opportunity to speak with a hundred mouths all chanting the name of the coming of the Queen of All Doom, the Many Voiced, the Bearer of Soft Release, the Frozen Teeth Eternal, so all may know her and tremble at her approach?
moa.party is busted so I've revoked its ability to crosspost to Twitter — which, happily, coincides with me abandoning Twitter in general.
The upside is now I can be as ungodly political as I want here. This account will be for news and leftist ranting, @aendrew will be for general-purpose shitposting.
I'll always CW news/politics from this account, but given it'll be mostly that, please just straight-up block this account if news/politics aren't your jam, I'll understand.
Converted the #webgl flight paths animation I made for @benmarinojourno@twitter.com's fascinating video into an @observablehq@twitter.com notebook 👉 https://observablehq.com/@davidbjourno/chinas-coronavirus-aviation-shutdown-animated I know we only care about line charts now but anyway there it is

A friend of mine on FB typo’d and wrote “nopefully” which I propose we immediately adopt as shorthand for “I do not want that to happen”.
Still the longest hair in journalism.
