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 :/

Well, that sounds absolutely horrific.
Mass surveillance promotes the Single Point of Failure that is totalitarianism.

Just a heads-up, my college has some restrictions on what I can say here :) it probably wouldn't've been an issue anyway, I don't really want to dig at an organization while I'm a member of it, but it is worth noting, as a believer in free speech....

Who knew that it's possible to boot straight into UEFI setup by just running "systemctl reboot --firmware-setup"? 🤯
It makes all those times I was mashing F12 as soon as the computer started booting utterly pointless — especially after getting Linux installed.
Well, at least I know about it now.
@royal @GrahamDowns I've heard poorly of the TRS-80!
@FiveEyeTea I read the article; so it's an ID system, but what exactly does that mean? Tied to hardware, or something software-level like HTTP?

Here are three 1977 computers. I briefly used a TRS-80 Model I. Learned BASIC.
File:Home or Personal Computers from 1977 - Commodore PET 2001, Apple II, TRS-80 Model I, together called 'Trinity77' (edited image).jpg

@royal @GrahamDowns Hardware like that would look so cool on my desk. I've always wanted a computer from that era. So little can do so much!
@w84death That sounds great. I love tiny development!
@w84death Ah, not <= 512B? I'm curious, what's your size restriction, if any?

Scoop: New details are emerging about a breach at National Public Data (NPD), a consumer data broker that recently spilled hundreds of millions of Americans’ Social Security Numbers, addresses, and phone numbers online. KrebsOnSecurity has learned that another NPD data broker which shares access to the same consumer records inadvertently published the passwords to its back-end database in a file that was freely available for download from its homepage until today.

@CM30 That's a funny one :D

For today’s pet photo, here’s my dog Nell in #Zelda #TearsoftheKingdom! Just had to edit her pic into the Hyrule Compendium lol!
@fribbledom I have the impression that KDE is always ready to soak up new features :)
It takes good taste in simplicity to craft well a complex design. #computer #engineering
