Finally started on X-Men '97 S2 and I'm very very confused / needing to remind myself of all the context from the previous season. Anyway, decent start.
@andypiper I found the Screencrush Easter egg and reference recaps on YouTube very helpful
Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Radicalized By Basic Decency Tote Bag. I get this. Anytime I see basic decency being displayed I immediately have the urge to light a molotov cocktail.

For anybody the media covering the privacy beat, you might want to have a look at the Take2 court orders to Microsoft over the Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks. There’s a big story.
I’ll give you some hints - MachineGuid and MSA device identifiers.

Any person who claims in public that “if you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to fear”
is extremely likely to have a bone-chilling definition of “wrong”.

Engineers building a solar farm near the Arctic Circle got used to hearing “Who the hell builds a solar plant in Lapland?”
The Simo solar park now runs for almost 22 hours a day every summer (and in the winter snow reflecting light onto double-sided panels turns out to be a killer feature).
Nordic investors added more new solar than wind for the first time last year, and Sweden and Finland have both hit their 2030 solar targets years early. #solar #renewableenergy #renewables #climate #ClimateChange

My store has a 4.7 rating on google maps, the same as the Musée du Louvre in Paris. They are equally good
@d_rift i do very much enjoy the claims from IBMers like "ooooo diffie-hellman has all these attacks against it oooooo elliptic curves are safe because there are no attacks against them" like yes sir that's what happens when you are on the side of fascists you get material support from them
@d_rift i'm reading the menezes/okamoto/vanstone piece on "reducing elliptic curve logarithms to logarithms in a finite field" and they call out
. In [2], Miller argues that the index-calculus methods, which produced dramatic results in the computation of discrete logarithms in (the multiplicative group of) a finite field (see 131, [4]), do not extend to elliptic curve groups.

@Reuters "Free the hostages and this ends" was the line repeated for two years. The test is here. Track the response. 1300 people killed during the "ceasefire".
For.. reasons.. I am making a wealth inequality playlist. I posted an earlier version about 10 hours ago. This is the latest version reflecting everyone's feedback. Remember, I want songs that aren't TOO aggro and could be background-ish at an event, catchy, topical, without making themselves the center of attention. Here's what I have for V2 of the playlist.

I cannot overstate how much the revolution needs kind, reliable, people who show up when you need them and does not need drug-addled cut-rate Hunter S. Thompson impersonators.

I keep finding myself wondering… now that it’s becoming clear that most people are going to be priced out of regular electronic device upgrades for years, and the ones that do exist are likely to be much more RAM-constrained then before, are apps/websites going to have to be much more well-optimized than they have been for the past decade or so?
@misty we can hope.

If you live outside of the United States,
do you know if your country has a plan if the US government decided to cut access to Google, Microsoft, and Amazon products overnight?
What would happen to your work?
What would happen to your hospitals?
What would happen to your emergency services?
What would happen to your banks?
Imagine overnight, for all those public services and private businesses, no more Windows, no more AWS, no more Google and Microsoft office software, no more remote files storage, no more emails, no more online maps, no more videochats.
What would happen?
Is your country prepared?
The Rutles parodied The Beatles at many of their different stages, including the Abbey Road song "Get Back," played live on a rooftop. The Rutles version became "Get Up and Go."

Hyperbole? A tad, perhaps. But only an Aussie could pen such a delicious piece of writing.
