Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

I wish @pluralistic and others had chosen a name that wasn't a swear word for poop.
I'm not going to talk with my mother, sister, and nephew about "enshittification" over dinner.
I'm glad to see Wikipedia lists #PlatformDecay as an alternative. Can we use that instead? Or come up with something better if you like

@Big_Diggity @BenBetterThanB Wait, I just realized it says Doug TenNapel on it. Makes sense then.
@Big_Diggity That art style reminds me of The #Neverhood.
(and by extension, #Armikrog )

Debian/Linux users beware:
Due to an issue in ext4 with data corruption in kernel 6.1.64-1, we are a pausing the 12.3 image release for today while we attend to fixes. Please do not update any systems at this time, we urge caution for users with UnattendeUpgrades configured.
Please see bug #1057843:
@freddy This is a great tip.
It is worth noting that websites can still react specially to the right click when you're holding shift, but you'll still get the browser's context menu. At least that happens to me on Wikipedia.
Noting this just to avoid a false sense of security, if you think the site can't tell.

Annoyed that a website is doing something custom on right-click?
Did you expect the browser's context menu (Back, Reload, Save Page As, View Source etc.)?
Just hold the ⇧Shift key while clicking and Firefox will show the built-in context menu.
@kyle Interesting. Thanks 😀
@Gargron The eyes 👀
@kyle Neat..! This is funny to read when one doesn't know anything about weaving. Heddles?
@codrusofathens Wow! Good job!
@system76 @dangoodin This is great to know — thanks!
@royal Gotcha! I'd better check!

Last night I set a new record for the length of time it took me to find a specific cybercriminal in real life. This one only took ten years, and hundreds of hours of research -- almost all of it in the wrong direction. I'm ecstatic, but also kind of mad at myself for missing key pieces of the puzzle that it turns out I had IN MY INBOX all along.
Anyway, the person in question is a big fish, and this going to be quite the story when it's ready. So, if I'm unresponsive to nudges etc for the next, er...week probably, you know why.
@royal I run Pop OS currently — how'd it do that?

If you use a Windows or Linux device, it's vulnerable to a new post-exploit attack that can remotely install an undetectable backdoor at the UEFI level. Updates from just about every vendor available today. Impressive work from @matrosov and the rest of Binarly.
@dangoodin I know my @system76 uses Insyde firmware... my machine is older but I hope I get a fix 🙏
@christopher Hey thanks 👈😉👈
@EleazerBryan @Big_Diggity Could be... I've never heard that one.
