This is a really good and detailed explanation and quick tutorial on how to substantially improve the privacy of your smartphone. It takes maybe 10 minutes to read the thread and change your settings. Recommended.

In the 40 Under 40s, money is not exchanged but papers reach out to companies and PR people put forward the folks they'd like to get some promotion for. (Often PR teams do this w/o the reach out even.)
All quasi arbitrary.

Our most popular #Linux Journal column for years was Hack and / by @kylerankin . He won the Readers' Choice Award over and over. He's currently in between gigs but won't be for long. Friends, if you need a #security, #privacy, or even #opensource expert, ping Kyle.
Ever wanted to hire me but wished, āIf only he were smarter, with security expertise, more integrity, and better looking?ā
My friend @kylerankin is available for the 1st time since I've known him, & ticks all those boxes. Total #DreamTeam caliber guy. kylerank.in/about.html 1/2

New book by long-time Linux Journal editor @kylerankin. "How to Write a Tech Book", a step-by-step guide. (Near and dear to me: there is an entire chapter on how-to format code. Trust me, us publishers give bonus points to authors who can handle this.) lulu.com/spotlight/kyle_rankā¦.
Cool kid project. (What kid doesn't like soldering?)
I have written a new product review for another wonderful @circuitmess kit. My son really enjoyed this one (as he has the rest). Check it out: koutoupis.com/2023/07/24/cirā¦

Ok, probably my last push. If you considered retweeting about my book, maybe this one makes sense. B&N has a GREAT deal on pre-orders, including mine. :) barnesandnoble.com/w/my-big-ā¦ (Or signed copies are available, details here: snar.co/book1)

This clock by @kylerankin shows the passage of time by knitting a stitch every half hour-- a row every day. (At the end of a year he'll have a 365 row scarf.)
The story involves zip ties, cron jobs, a #RaspberryPi, and more. Enjoy the read:
