@Fishercat that is my theory, yes

@Fishercat @JessTheUnstill I'm guessing it was to avoid lawsuits from evergreen contracts

@JessTheUnstill they don't track anything if you use Kodi with the Netflix Addon. They even sent me an email requiring action or else they'd cancel my subscription because by their numbers, I hadn't (ever) watched anything.

@petrillic yes! This is AviD's Rule of Usability:

XKCD #936: Short complex password, or long dictionary passphrase?

How accurate is this XKCD comic from August 10, 2011? I've always been an advocate of long rather than complex passwords, but most security people (at least the ones that I've talked to) are agains...

@emanuelmaiberg isn't this also a violation of two-party consent laws (probably also one-party consent)?

@erininthemorning.com her opponent in the primary, Graham Platner, also supports trans rights. He currently leads Mills by 12 points in the polling, but the big machine will back her despite this stance.

@briankrebs @zackwhittaker what does this product do if you're parked in a basement or at a mountainside trailhead and have no connectivity?

@codinghorror @hacks4pancakes While this is true, I worry about the trumpery in the news these days, like how the US has reached a new and dangerous level of ADHD; we invaded two nations simply to distract from the Epstein files.

(Yes, trumpery.) #uspol

@hacks4pancakes great list. Here's one more item that isn't getting enough attention: Sudan's famine and civil war. (Admittedly, this has less global impact, but it is among the worst suffering in the world right now.)

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson (chief of staff to Colin Powell under George W Bush):

This administration has committed more war crimes in the last few days than I think any country since Adolf Hitler committed. And that is an incredible condemnation of this entire process.

He later says we can't win this war—and Israel might drop a nuke.

@atoponce now might be a great time to sell; SUSE and Canonical (Ubuntu) are the best enterprise Linux offerings outside the US, and EU governments may be really interested in bolstering a EU-based distro given current US politics.

$6B looks steep, but I'm guessing it's in the right ballpark: Wikipedia says SUSE's annual revenue is 2.8x Canonical's with 2-2.5x the employees. Canonical is worth $1-2B, so SUSE may indeed be worth $3-6B.
