Nitter(X/Twitter frontend) project received cease and desist

XCancel still seems to work for now, let's see how long it lasts.

EDIT: Welp, it went down too now.

On Monday 24th August at 8PM EST, we received at letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel.
The service XCancel is stopped until further notice.
We are seeking legal advice and won't share more details for now.
Thank you for the trust you have put in these two years of XCancel.

I mean it could be right

Still false, thanks to compiler optimizations. Remember that integer overflow is UB. (unless you're using unsigned int or a programming language which strictly defines integer overflow, possibly as an error)

P.S.: Assuming this is C/C++

Rich tax.

That's not how exponential growth works. A ×10 increase in 1.2 years implies a ×10^10^ increase in 12 years. According to these numbers it should be ×10 in 6 years which roughly aligns with the end of the decade.

EU Age Verification Project Mandates Hardware-Bound Attestation

What's worse, that comment links to the Keep Android Open movement which specifically targets Google's sideloading restrictions and it's already known that they don't apply to GrapheneOS. This is the specific reasoning behind my downvote. Whether there are any other threats to GrapheneOS is irrelevant since the comment in question doesn't mention them and is backed by a false claim instead.

The other side of Linux shutdown

Unless the culprit is that one process permanently stuck in uninterruptible disk sleep, in which case the timer would just perpetually go up, and pressing 7x Ctrl-Alt-Del as you mentioned will simply shut down systemd and the kernel itself will start complaining (faulty hardware can cause this)
