@pan @cas no, knowing that intellectual work cannot be forced out of someone and that such cyberfascism in any reasonable juristiction would start a civil war.

@xriss Ja, genau. Das ist mein Punkt. Der iranischer Staat besteht seit Jahrzehnten.. deshalb.

@smellsofbikes @eq @ascentale @xtaran @bikenite I use the Schwalbe Winter Marathons.

@izby @signalapp I don't really care what happens to them since I rarely use them. It would be better for everyone if the 3B people on WhatsApp and billion on Telegram also used Signal, but that's not currently the case. WhatsApp has been Zucked since 2016. Constantly screaming about how private and secure it is while not being open-source means it's probably not secure or private, and even more so when it's a Facebook product. Everything you do on Telegram is stored in plaintext by default on Telegram's servers, it has a long history of sketchy security, was created by a Russian billionaire, and has been banned, unbanned, and could be banned again in Russia. There was a report in October last year that Telegram is very likely an FSB Honeypot: https://rys.io/en/179.html#:~:text=The%20assumption%20seems%20to%20have%20always%20been,this%20is%20much%20less%20of%20a%20consideration.I have WhatsApp and Telegram, but I don't do much on either but lurk in sports channels.This is why I stick to Signal for all my communication. They don't have data to hand over because they don't collect it: https://signal.org/bigbrother/

@RadioJens Zur Ergänzung:https://www.bundestag.de/dokumente/textarchiv/2026/kw10-de-grundsicherung-1150460Danke für deinen Tröt! Ich finde es schlimm, dass du das schreiben musst und dass ich es als völlig berechtigt sehe. Unsere Gesellschaft hat sich spürbar verändert. Solidarität hat wenig Konjunktur. Gib trotzdem nicht auf!

@_elena Masnick has certainly revealed a previously hidden side of himself in all the BS BS ...

@FeloniousPunk @coreyspowell isn't it though! Well said!

@cazabon yeah, Wubi from Ubuntu used to do that. I used it for a while back in the day. It's not going to bypass Secure Boot, though (which it seems Foone's Surface doesn't allow disabling) – and it had zero support for UEFI style boot in general – Wubi would just install grub4dos and configure it to be chain-loaded specifically from WinXP's NTLDR.(I don't think it touched the MBR? nor the VBR? I don't remember for sure, but I *think* it was ntldr->grub4dos specifically to reduce the chance of failure. Traditional dualboot would go rearranging things to do grub->ntldr instead, but Wubi was for a very non-technical audience.)These days as far as I know Windows's BOOTMGR refuses to boot anything that isn't digitally signed as a Windows component (unlike NTLDR in WinXP where you could still add arbitrary entries), so you can no longer chain bootmgr->grub, have to boot directly into grub from the beginning.imo, installing GRUB "from the outside" has become *kinda easier* in EFI world; the equivalent of "fiddling the MBR" on UEFI systems would be "fondling the EFI boot variables", which Windows has an API for (and you can do it through bcdedit, etc) – the bootloader lives on a FAT partition, drop grub.efi in there, add a new boot entry that points to grub.efi – but of course that grub.efi isn't "Microsoft-signed" so it still won't boot no matter what.as I understand the Surface won't boot even the MS-signed "Shim" because the hardware deliberately lacks the "third-party" UEFI certificates... although mjg59 said elsewhere in the thread that allegedly those are now possible to install thanks to the 2023 cert rollover, which actually sounds like it would work (as soon as there's a version of Shim out there that's signed using the 2023 "third-party" cert, and not the 2011 one)

@javahippie Keine Ahnung Man wird aber immer noch verstehen müssen, was da generiert wird. Vielleicht wird das dann ähnlich wie bei Pilot*innen oder Lokführer*innen, die im Normalbetrieb sich oft auf die Automatik verlassen, um ans Ziel zu kommen, aber immer bereit sein müssen, bei Störungen und unvorhergesehenen Ereignissen von Hand einzugreifen.

@chorist @eko_ yeah i like things to feel alive

@hbons looks beautiful!

@lattera My understanding is that any process can query this and the goal is to not give processes the user's date of birth. The four groups model means that apps don't see the date of birth for any adult user, and have to be running before and after the group membership changes to be able to infer the date of birth for children.

@sundogplanets You're telling it like it is.

@CharlotteEowynI can chime in! I'm a gender but also refer to myself as transmasculine - to me it's a descriptor of the direction I'm going/the medical and social changes I have and am making - not necessarily an identity label, but a descriptor of a series of actionsObviously different for everyone, and I know lots of NBs that don't like to refer to the "direction" they're transitioning,, but that's my 2 cents.@lda

@Konafets @parents4future das wäre für Lars' Followerschaft nicht adressatengerecht. Dieser KinderUni Auszug ist an Kinder gerichtet und vereinfacht grob. Das ist zielgruppenadäquat für Kinder und CDU MP Kandidaten, aber nicht für wissenschaftsinteressierte Erwachsene auf Mastodon. Die werden von dem Text keinen inhaltlichen Mehrwert haben außer "ah so kann ich das meinen Kindern gut erklären".(also klar, der Hagel wird dabei natürlich was lernen, aber der gehört nicht zu Lars Followerschaft)

@riley @proedie the expression is using a coloquial definition of information, not a rigorous one. A clock "gives us information" when we look at it: whether it's right or not, by virtue of being a clock it is asserting that "this is the current time"

@randahl A one-dimensional man cannot play three- or even two-dimensional chess.

@buersten Der Besen ist ja fantastisch! Ihr habt ja mal ein Video von der Borstensteckmaschine gezeigt.Die so zu bestücken, dass da am Ende dieser Regenbogenbesen rauskommt ist aber echte Kunst.Aller größter Respekt an Egon. Der liebt seine Arbeit offensichtlich!
