I interact with a lot of encoded formats like JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) as well as wanting to unpack URLs, so I've found it super handy to be able to pipe visually selected text into a command, i.e.:
:'<,'>!unpack
(source)
Or to do the same with a visual selection:
c<C-R>=system('unpack', @")<CR><ESC>

Telegram is the most popular messenger in urban Ukraine. After a decade of misleading marketing and press, most ppl there believe it’s an “encrypted app” The reality is the opposite-TG is by default a cloud database w/ a plaintext copy of every msg everyone has ever sent/recvd.Post details
It's amazing to me that after all this time, almost all media coverage of Telegram still refers to it as an "encrypted messenger." Telegram has a lot of compelling features, but in terms of privacy and data collection, there is no worse choice. Here's how it actually works: 1/Moxie Marlinspike (@moxie)Thu, 23 Dec 2021 17:21 GMT

I think one of the uncomfortable truths of software engineering is that coming up with a fair, equitable, and accurate interviewing process is impossible. Any evaluation criteria is going to be unfairly hurt some people and unfairly help others. Livecoding is obvs bad for anxiety

Video shared on Ukrainian channels of a captured Russian soldier apparently being fed by locals. The post says he burst into tears when he was allowed to video-call his mother. So many of these troops are just teenagers, with absolutely no clue what this war is really for.

I say this seriously and it is not a contested statement: the new CDC guidance is predicated on the assumption that you are *entirely okay* with catching Covid and passing it on to others. If you are NOT okay with that, you’re just a footnote in the new guidance.
