Any app or service that gives you a free trial and then doesn't ASK before it starts the paid subscription is effectively scamming you.

I have discovered the exact age limit for teaching counting in binary. (doing math with just 1, 0)
6th graders who are about 11 and 12 years old can do it-- 5th graders (age 10 or so) mostly can't. Math is still too new to them and though they've been adding two digit numbers for three years it's not ingrained enough for variation.
Anyway back to the drawing board.
@falcennial I didn't subscribe here to read about unsubscribing.
Why is it that it's nice to offer a friend emotional support, but not intellectual support?

“people appreciated it so much when you speak a few words in their language”
people: just say it in english
@greegreehoist Well, it's the friend you've lost along the way.
Just a reminder that Russia keeps bombing schools and hospitals in Ukrainian cities. There is no strategic value to them other than fear and suffering of civilians.
@ramsey @kagan @majorlinux I think that the executives should work harder on figuring out why people don't want to work for them and what to do to change it. But nobody wants to work anymore.
@greegreehoist Any facial hair can be gay if you leave conditioner in your mustache.

At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.
Here's my favorite story from running OMCB :)

I know I’m a crazy transit person (I’m writing this on a bus). But I don’t think this person getting hit by a car while in a crosswalk is to blame because they’re looking at their phone
@LaNaehForaday @rbreich I don't think so. Eating good quality, home cooked or restaurant made food is a privilege.
@skrishna I hope they get back ok.

Be the ancient advanced alien race you want to see in the universe.
@falcennial I'm probably just experimental.
If you want proof I'm not a replicant look at my post history. What would be the point of creating a replicant who posts that shit?
@falcennial Also I would be surprised if a replicant would be as bad as me at posting things.
@falcennial From what all replicants are tall and pretty, so I'm beyond suspicion.

I've found a lot of conflicting and confusing reports about the #SecureBoot issue caused by a Microsoft update, so here's my relatively informed take about it.
Spoilers: this isn't an issue with GRUB, but with another less known bootloader called shim. GRUB can also be affected though. So let's talk about how the bootchain of a #Linux distro works and what happened to it. 🧵 1/11
