Dan Goodin<p>A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile, email account, and phone number removed by his employer Indiana University, and had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/XiaofengWang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>XiaofengWang</span></a> Xiaofeng Wang</p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/03/computer-scientist-goes-silent-after-fbi-raid-and-purging-from-university-website/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/security/2025/</span><span class="invisible">03/computer-scientist-goes-silent-after-fbi-raid-and-purging-from-university-website/</span></a></p>
Ars Technica<p>Computer scientist goes silent after FBI raid and purging from University website<br />Indiana University quietly removes profile of tenured professor and refuses to say why.<br /><a href="https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/03/computer-scientist-goes-silent-after-fbi-raid-and-purging-from-university-website/?utm_brand=arstechnica&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/security/2025/</span><span class="invisible">03/computer-scientist-goes-silent-after-fbi-raid-and-purging-from-university-website/?utm_brand=arstechnica&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social</span></a></p>
William Pietri<p>In the 15+ years people have been promoting blockchains, this flowchart remains undefeated.</p>
George Takei :verified: 🏳️🌈🖖🏽<p>And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”</p>
Jonathan<p>Bernie Sanders @SenSanders • 2d<br /> We must demand that the extremely<br />wealthy pay their fair share. Period.</p><p>Elon Musk @elonmusk • 2d<br /> I keep forgetting that you're still alive</p><p>ChongsCalls @ChongsCalls<br /> The richest person in the world<br />shitting on the nicest person in the<br />world is capitalism summed up in two<br />tweets.</p>
Nowhere Girl<p>I find it weird how many people refuse to believe we live in a racial and gender caste system whose wealthy white nobility control both major political parties. </p><p>White Americans are so heavily propagandized and so inclined to go along because they think they're proximal to power.</p>
Aaron J. Waltke<p>There’s an ongoing joke in Star Trek where replicator food is considered inferior to hand prepared meals.</p><p>Replicator rations are perfectly balanced, produce exactly what asked for down to the molecule. Nothing more, nothing less. </p><p>But it is soulless.</p><p>Anyway, thinking about AI.</p>

Radley Balko<p>NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.

(((Cindy Weinstein)))<p>You read that right. 75% of scientists are considering leaving the US. Forgive me (not really) if I'm struggling to understand exactly how this is making the US anything other than diminished, stupid, and ill.</p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00938-y" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/d41586-025</span><span class="invisible">-00938-y</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NSF</span></a> <br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NIH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NIH</span></a> <br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a><br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a></p>

Eugen Rochko<p>I have to say, I am really disappointed Devin Townsend's <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TheMoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TheMoth</span></a> featured AI-generated art projections. They were uncanny and distracting at best even if you look past the ethics of it. And now it's occupying my mind and distracting me from talking about the actual music of his 10 years in the making project...</p>
thejuicemedia<p>The Canadien Government has made an ad for the coming election, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT_n4Khmq0o" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=wT_n4Khmq0o</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Randahl Fink<p>I went out to test drive a Volkswagen id.4 today and I was impressed.</p><p>I still remember how the first electric cars left so much to be desired, but not anymore.</p><p>I remember the talk about range anxiety, but this new version had a range of 570 km.</p><p>It was very quiet on the road too. And the fit and finish looked stunning — no Tesla panel gaps or clunky doors.</p><p>I wonder how anyone dares by a gasoline car these days — the resell value of those cars must suffer badly when gas stations start closing.</p>
