@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

@evacide I would love some unsolicited advice, but I understand it's a privilege.

A really stupid comic/meme with a surprising amount of scientific knowledge in it. I've been laughing about this all day.

Fun science fact I learned this morning. Every frog species can be traced back to a common ancestor in what is now Poland. Isn't that amazing? It means every frog is a tad Pole.

Vivian, Musk‘s trans daughter, has things to say about the Musk biography that portrayed her as brainwashed and a cause of trauma to her father (rather than the other way around) on Threads threads.net/@vivllainous/post/

@stux If this is real, the number of possible hydraulic and mechanical failures that could easily kill those people is a long one.

@marti Well, you do you, but if you can't tell the difference between Democrats and Republicans in what they do and intend to do I think you're either not serious or only considering very few specific - and important - issues. Either way I don't think this conversation can change it.

@marti I would say Obamacare is better than lowering taxes for the rich. Gay marriage is better than invading Iraq. They don't do the same things. There is a difference.

@marti Feel free to block me if you like. Stopping aid discourages Israel and I also think it should have been done a long time ago. Presumably it's the election that's preventing it. And I don't think Democrats are great, I just think Republicans are far worse.

@marti @rebeccawatson I think what you mean is: you can't fix all the things, even the important things, with a single vote. And that's definitely true. You can't really stop Israel from doing genocide if they're _really_ into it, unless you're willing to invade it. You can't just fire all cops and start from scratch. But you can gradually improve things with a lot of effort.

@greegreehoist Yes, there is. But anything beyond that would be my opinion.

@zaufanatrzeciastrona No nie wiem, tam wydaje się nie poszło nic ważnego w tych dokumentach, więc wydaje się nieco podejrzane.

As NZ households face a cost of electricity crisis, an Aussie mining company is set to jump on the Fast Track Approvals process to greenlight a Seabed Mining project, which would PREVENT an Offshore Wind generation industry from being established in Taranaki.
