Move slow and fix things.

Fuck Microsoft and Fuck Nadella.

As expected, the 24H2 update installed 'Recall', it can't be uninstalled.

To disable the Microcoft spyware, run this as admin

Can't vouch that all the people you share your screen, code, IP, private details, will disable theirs. consider NOT sharing anything ever again.

@rabbit @munin As I translated @pluralistic 's DRM talk given at Microsoft oh so long ago I still remember it well. It includes: When his defense asked "Which computer has Jon trespassed upon?" the answer was: "His
own." https://craphound.com/msftdrm.txt Cory, you need to go to Microsoft and repeat the talk, they forgot it in these twenty years.

My favourite line from this:

"anyone still a member of the Conservative party these days may be considered so diehard they are potentially undead"

MORE FUN FACTS:

it turns out the device has a database on it which lists the location of every single other redbox machine. full addresses.

I've complained about this before, but GitHub projects with a stale bot make me far less likely to want to take the time to carefully report issues. I think it's disrespectful of reporters' time to auto close issues they possibly put a lot of effort into filing. I don't often file bugs against Apple products for the same reason: the bugs just go into a void most of the time with absolutely no feedback, especially if they get closed as duplicates. What's the point of me investing possibly hours of my time writing thorough bug reports if they might just get closed and practically lost without a glance?

Hi. Yes, we have a full outage right now (https://status.codeberg.eu).

This acknowledgment comes from the social media manager that _isn't_ a system administrator. I can't share more details right now, so all I have to say is the following for now: It has been a weird and challenging week, sorry for the inconvenience. ~n

EDIT: We're back for now. :)

Troubled HS2 rail line will run from London Euston to Crewe, LBC understands

https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/hs2-london-euston-to-crewe-labour/

— It's a good start: now budget for the northern connection to Glasgow and Edinburgh, with a branch to the bridge over Beaufort's Dyke leading to Belfast and Dublin. *THEN* we're moving in the right direction!
