@cjd Big Endian is the Right Way™. It's how we write numbers. Intel and other Little Endian CPUs have always been very annoying.

🎉 Congrats to @shiftphones for winning the IFA Innovation Award in the Best in Sustainability Tech category for the SHIFTphone 8.
We’re proud to collaborate with SHIFT, a company that lives its mission every day. Together, we’ve developed the Murena SHIFTphone 8, designed to make the tech world a little better.
🇩🇪🇬🇧 Find out more about the moments at IFA that stood out most to them by reading the full article!
☁️The recent AWS outage showed how fragile “cloud-based security” can be.
When one datacenter faltered, global communication tools — including Signal — went dark 🌑
🕸️Matrix-based messaging systems kept running because they don’t rely on a single provider.
Resilience = decentralization
Let's invest in open, federated platforms.

@TechLibre Two swords.
“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.” So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.
Luke 22:36-38
Part of the reason was to underline, "I lay down my life of my own accord. No man takes it from me." Also, swords were forbidden for slaves - carrying swords showed them to be free men.
@truthbait We certainly need a DOJ head far more aggressive than Pam Bondi.

Greetings Programs!! We're back at it tonight working on @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 5!! Come on by!!
@PNS Ooops! Pride goeth before a fall.
We have editions and spins that are great general purpose starting points. You install Fedora, then grab whatever else you need and start using your computer.
But what if you just want to start working immediately? We have Fedora Labs for that! These are offerings with specific use cases in mind, like astronomy or design.
Our question: have you tried these before, and if so what has been your experience?

@PNS In his book, "God According to God", physicist Gerald L. Schroeder has a unique interpretation of quantum mechanics: particles have free will. In the 2 slit experiment, the electron chooses which slit to traverse.
Our electronic devices are designed to enslave free electrons, forcing them follow predictable paths (except for a few escapees).
@PNS They can't take it with them.
@grimmy Try making an ipv6 tunnel (protocol 41) to your home server. My experience is that many ISPs ignore these packets in their throttling. For decades ipv6 is faster than ipv4 when you tunnel out of a throttled connection.
@PNS The entire reason her tribe (if she knows it) is not in control of their land is a failure to control illegal immigration.
@thatguyoverthere @dcc @ned @cjd Hyperspace can - like the tech Dr Who and Mary Poppins use.
@cjd @dcc @ned In an ideal world, the goal of the NSA is to prevent foreign adversaries from spying on US businesses (and individuals, but you know they only care about Big Business).
In the 80s, crypto was classified as a munition and export controlled. On the bright side, this meant US citizens had a 2nd amendment right to it. When PGP came out, there was a kerfluffle over export controls and open source. So the source code was published in a book, and the NSA gave up on that battle.
So now it is an arms race, and it is in the interest of even a corrupt NSA to foresee and warn US interests of potential external advances.
