In a bit of irony, the famous 2004 commercial "Piracy, It's A Crime", used pirated font.

It was discovered by a Redditor (and later confirmed by various news outlets), that the font used in the advertisements uses "Xband-Rough" by Just van Rossum. The font that was supposed to be used was "FF Confidential" by Just van Rossum

Sky News reached out to Just van Rossum for comment, Just van Rossum stated "[he] wasn't concerned". Additionally, per media outlets, there is currently no evidence on whether or not "Piracy, It's A Crime" intentionally pirated the font.

However, there is no legal clause that grants exemptions based on accidental copyright violation (although enforcement varies, Mr. van Rossum likely will not press charges)

tl;dr piracy is bad commercial does piracy to save a few bucks

Awhile back we met this guy on Twitter. He had like, 1,000 followers (relatively unknown). He was making posts about using AI to cheat coding interviews and getting jobs. He memed the entire thing. He dropped out a very prestigious university to continue this idea on memeing job interviews with AI.

We spoke with him on Twitter, discussing specifications on his ideas. We memed. Sent cat pictures.

Fast forward, he's now rich. What the fuck? How do we meme our way to $100,000,000?

Congratulations, Roy. We're happy your crazy memeing some how made you profoundly wealthy and got investors.

Went to the doctor today and the physician informed me I have a BMI of 60

Almost failed the test. By the grace of God I still passed 🙏

Decided to read my newborn Windows internals. He likely won't remember everything, but the habit of reading boring literature will prepare him for C programming when the keyboard isn't larger than his body

The so called "Doctor" recommended coding which is visually demonstrative. Traditional programming apparently requires too much "critical thinking" and isn't as "rewarding".

We are turning 6 years old soon.

Initially we used dark art, edgy imagery, and unusual graphics when doing updates to show how 'mysterious' and 'cool' we are

Fast forward 6 years later — we're collecting kitty cat pictures

This is your brain on malware:

Thank you Telegram nerds for 56,000 subscribers.

That is a very big number on Telegram. I hope we aid you in some capacity and I look forward continually serving all of you with malware and malware accessories for the next ??? years.

Love you,

In case you missed the drama:

The United States government paid for some fork of Signal created by an Israeli company. It was primarily used by important government officials.

Someone compromised it.

It contained phone numbers, emails, and snippets of conversations (???)

Been busy but — WikiLeaks is going schizo and falling down the rabbit hole. Political nerds are throwing feces at each other and screaming. Semi-normal Twitter users are ignorantly speculating on technology they don't understand.

Had this interesting coding idea. I felt so inspired. I was telling my newborn son about it.

When I was explaining the idea to him he was staring into my eyes. I was so happy.

Mid conversation he shit his pants. When trying to help him he proceeds to piss in my face

Drama++

The United States government is using a fork of Signal called "TM SGNL". TM SGNL is (likely) produced by an Israeli firm (Smarsh) which is (or related to in some capacity) the Israel Defense Forces' Intelligence unit. Although these claims are based on self-described biographies of the creators of TM SGNL and publicly available information. Various journalists and media outlets have reported differently.

TM SGNL is a part of the Smarsh communication suite called TeleMessage hence TeleMessage Signal.

TM SGNL is not publicly available for download.

TM SGNL source code was leaked online May 3rd when an anonymous source tipped journalist Micah Flee about TM SGNL being available for download ... by accident. Smarsh left the source code to their application exposed because they used WordPress and misconfigured directory permissions which looked like so:

/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Signal.zip

Journalist Micah Flee has made the source code available on GitHub. The source code also includes hardcoded credentials (and got knows what else)

You can read more about the leak, the contents of the leak, and you can find the link to the source code in the attached article below.
