CULT OF THE DEAD COW can neither confirm nor deny widespread media reports that the Revised Edition of the cDc book contains ascii art of Dildog's butt and/or the activation codes for the cDc Monster Truck Launcher buried somewhere beneath the Mojave desert.
Able to share any info on the differences for those that have already read (and thoroughly enjoyed) the first edition?

@delchi.bsky.social was SUCH a huge cDcNSF booster and organizer. He had a tough time of it, and it affected him a lot of ways, some of which were hard for him and others, but man he put in the work. He was particularly focused on disability access and awareness at hacker cons. RIP.
*FINAL MUSTER*
CULT OF THE DEAD COW is saddened to report that longtime cDc Ninja Strike Force member, Delchi, has passed over the great rainbow teleconference bridge.
He can now be found amongst the most blessed celestial engineers, venerating the great DemonSeed Elite, k-rad be his name.

I'd like to propose that hackers are the opposite, typically the "bringers of bad news". But we need a better word for this.
Given that the Greek word of the same era for "bad/badly" is either δυς/dys or κακο/caco, but predominantly the first.
The word would be 'dysangelist'. Tech Dysangelism.

In today's edition of armchair etymology, the word 'evangelist' comes from the Greek word euangelistes, meaning "bringer of good news". It combines εὖ ("good/well") and ἄγγελος ("angel/messenger").

Dylan Shea is one of the kindest, smartest people I ever met in the hacker scene. After he moved from San Francisco, I got to spend time with his family when I would travel to the Boston area to record music. When I heard this news, I doubled over in shock. Join me in supporting his son’s memory.

Social media has broken our brains. Everyone thinks they have to weigh in on everything all of the time. With a constant barrage of news from all over the world, it’s exhausting, unnecessary & unhealthy.

When you witness harassment in public, do you tend to freeze? Are you worried you're going to make it worse? Are you scared you'll be targeted? Do you tend to overreact and unintentionally escalate things?
