The Wayback Machine is back as a read-only service after cyberattacks
What's frustrating is that the ones who claimed to have done this are self-proclaimed "hacktivists". You're stupid if you think the Internet Archive is the enemy in this day and age.

Some jerk outside the city blew a trumpet and the big wall fell on my house! Is there any legal recourse I can take?
Unfortunately, acts of a god almost always extinguish obligations. Try living inside a fish’s mouth instead, might be more cost-effective.

As someone not from USA, this baffles me
Hell, it's okay to be against abortion and advising people against it if that aligns with your belief, but legislating against it to the detriment of women too? Women who want to get an abortion will get an abortion, whether it's freely available or not. I live in a country where that is the case, and trust me, it being illegal does not "save" or help anyone. We just see more women risking their lives for something that could've been safe for at least one of the "living" beings involved in the process.

A security researcher says Microsoft secretly built a backdoor into BitLocker, releases an exploit to prove it

What's unfortunate is a significant number of people don't like hearing this and instead choose to project onto other countries. Most of our governments aren't our friends, regardless if you're American or not.

Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe From US Authorities
Realities like this one are forcing entire nations to move to FOSS, more accountable systems, etc., which is a good thing for many of us, but bad for those who are in jurisdictions that they just can’t get enough of Microsoft et al.
A far journey ahead but at least we’re getting there!

I do this with my hair. They all look so stunned when they see me with a new haircut. Wears off after a few weeks though.

Had a similar conversation over in Mastodon recently and yeah, this is a very fair point. The indiscriminate scanning and publication of copyrighted books shouldn’t have happened in the first place, especially when there are existing ecosystems for ethical lending/leasing/borrowing of books already in place, which benefit and are working with authors/publishers already.

At this point, remove the other s from the start of the name also. It’s just a kittle.

Conservatives when a billionaire sex pest doesn't win
The amount of money billionaires spend on political campaigns should be proportional to the amount of votes their bets lose to their opponents.
PACs included 👍

What’s the point of switching to Linux if everything just works out of the box!
Yeah, I’ve been like that too recently. I prefer my not-so-problematic Debian setup nowadays, and I couldn’t even bring myself to rice it.
