We're hiring a new product security lead for Wikipedia! It's a new lead PM role that would steer our security engineering team and how we go about this work here at the Wikimedia Foundation. AND: it's fully remote, and open in a good number of countries. job-boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jo...

Wish someone would release patches for my vulnerabilities

Weird, I'm at a conference today about SI, but everyone keeps calling it AI.

HE WHO WATCHES IS OUT NOW! Please go check it out if you are at all interested in puzzle games. It is a banger (self certified) and something that I really put my heart into. Day one reviews go so freaking far, if you like the game please do leave a review! I even narrated a trailer for it 😬

He Who Watches is not getting nearly enough reviews and downloads for how amazing this new puzzle game is. I haven't seen 3D logic explored so ambitiously before, complete with strong vibes and deeply satisfying moments. Supports all of Win/Mac/Deck! store.steampowered.com/app/1070500/...

I'm sure all 750,000 of those IPs represent people who have given their informed consent to share their bandwidth with reputable residential proxy services, in return for services whose value and costs they are fully aware of.

I know that "sparkles" as the common AI icon is pretty easy to make fun of. It's pretty silly. But remember we've been using a cloud to represent "the internet" for decades now. It's the exact same "you don't need to know, it's just magic" vibe. I've been making fun of that thing the whole time!

If you love Wikipedia, take a look at this product job we've just opened to lead some of our most interesting work on keeping the place safe and authentic for humans: job-boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jo... This role will work directly with dedicated Wikipedians around the world. Think it over!

Really enjoyed this cute little 15-minute translation puzzle game, Lost in Translation: featurekreep.itch.io/lost-in-tran... I love that translation games are now "in", since Chants of Sennaar :)

Yael is a badass - and you should hire her!!

Shoo cynics, April Fool's Day is my favorite day on the internet. Please share with me all the good jokes you find!

Every year, I do a list of 10 games I loved that year -- this is 2025! My guess is you'll know some of them, and also that you won't know some of them. Please let me tell you about these fine video games!! (Links are mostly to Steam, but some are on console too.) /thread

I have to impress upon you that Sudokuvania is a fully realized Metroidvania. It is merely expressed as 20+ integrated variant sudokus. There is nothing else like this. Solving it is one of my proudest achievements. It is a $0 website. Use a laptop. sudokupad.app/6u61fsw0di?s...

I'm working on cleaning up my withered online presence, starting with my homepage. Going back over long-ago (now private) blog posts really hits home that I just didn't know how to write like a grown-up until age 30 or so. Really wish I could have figured that out earlier.

I do not understand why the party is not marginalizing the obviously poor judgment and defensive crouch of the Biden campaign's inner circle. Anita Dunn, Ron Klain, or David Plouffe should not be allowed anywhere near a Democratic campaign again. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/u...

I have come to adore Mimic Logic, this weirdo little logic game that is essentially the Parlor game from Blue Prince taken to its extreme logical conclusions. It's at 98% positive, only a few reviews short of Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam - give it a go! store.steampowered.com/app/2455920/...

When is the overwraught Classics of Game thinkpiece finally going to arrive?

Come secure Wikipedia with me! We're hiring a manager to oversee security operations, and to lead a group of security and privacy engineers that keep the platform safe. There's never been more energy at Wikimedia for this kind of work. Throw in for it! job-boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jo...

Trump's DOJ is validating the position state election officials have always held -- which is to reflexively push back against any potential for abusive federal political interference in elections, even well-intentioned security requirements. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/u...

@leedrutman.bsky.social Do you think the much more strategic and consistent use of cross-endorsing and alliances in NYC this time around is a point in favor of RCV in achieving its stated goals? Or no different?

I also hate that it’s borrowing from the evil plan name

Pretty sweet job for a public interest journalist interested in making a podcast for @propublica.org! job-boards.greenhouse.io/propublica/j...

It's my favorite time of year - the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase on Steam! store.steampowered.com/sale/cerebra... Time to install 100 demos and wishlist 50 games!!

There's nothing "centrist" about speaking plainly in the language of your audience, rather than the language of your friends. I am definitely among those who believe progressives need to speak more like normal people in public life. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We created a safer AV1 decoder, rav1d, by forking the dav1d decoder and rewriting the C code in Rust. It works great except our Rust is 5% slower than the C. We're not sure why so we're offering a $20k bounty to figure it out and make the Rust code faster. www.memorysafety.org/blog/rav1d-p...

In May, I'm joining @wikimediafoundation.org (the non-profit that hosts Wikipedia), where I'll be leading its product work across both security and trust & safety. And I'm excited about it! Hard to think of a better use of my energy than keeping Wikipedia strong and healthy for the next generation.
