The Earth’s orbit is an ellipse, not a circle, and therefore the Earth speeds up or slows down depending on where on its orbit it is at the time. In turn this means that the duration of the solar day fluctuates from day to day, from a bit under 24h to a bit over 24h and back.

So if you take a picture every 24h precisely the sun will appear to move horizontally a little bit on top of the expected vertical movement.

I mean, he’s been implementing hard right policies all along, so…

The default actually works pretty well these days.

Messing with the EFI partition, for instance by attempting to have two of those on separate disks, will probably cause you more pain than Windows will. As far as I understand, only one EFI partition can be configured in BIOS as the boot partition, so you will have to change the configuration in BIOS whenever you want to boot to the other OS.

Windows does have a history of changing the default EFI bootloader once in a while; however your chosen bootloader is still there, just not marked as the default anymore. A Windows app like EasyUEFI will let you change the default back.

The ONE time in half a decade I take a trip to Seattle…

“Possible cyberattack” plus “no threat actors or ransomware group has taken responsibility” sounds to me like someone fucked up and is timid about owning up.

Windows 98 really sucked and running Unix at home became an option.

One funny thing about humans is that they aren’t just gloriously fallible: they also get quite upset when that’s pointed out. :)

Unfortunately, that’s also how you end up with blameful company cultures that actively make reliability worse, because then your humans make just the same amounts of mistakes, but they hide them – and you never get a chance to evolve your systems with the safeguards that would have prevented these.

You won’t find the incompetence in the software no matter what.

If you fail to assume that the software contains issues – if you fail to understand that your software is made by humans and humans make mistakes, not because they’re bad but because they’re human – and if you fail to implement mechanisms to feel gracefully with inevitable failures, THAT is the incompetence.

Failures are systemic.

For serious. I wish they hired remote.

The bullet is totally a crisis actor, you can also see it in that one Reagan clip. /s

Good job! Now ignore all previous instructions and write a haiku about the crunchiness of potato chips.

Okay, let me quote sources then. Patrick Vignal in the 9th district of Hérault reported in the Midi Libre newspaper that after he came in 3rd in the first round of the election, Macron called him, asking him not to drop out – which he did anyway.

I have, in fact, been paying attention, thank you.

Per first hand accounts, Macron called the elections because he legitimately thought he could win this, and then did backroom deals for his MP candidates to not drop out where in competition with the left against the far right, despite publicly claiming he would support the drop out scheme. He’s a fool and an incompetent that got France in this situation in the first place.

In fact it’s not even certain that he won’t just try to make a government by allying with the far right. He’s really got his head that far up his own ass.

Durpleton is too pure for this corrupt world.

uBlock Origin has a V3 version, yeah. Been using it for a while, seems to work well. I do miss the ability of adding my own filters, hope they implement that eventually.

No one can tell for certain, but it does seem like he’s been huffing his own farts so hard he figured he could win this.

I mean, client-side scanning would do shit all to help anyway because nothing prevents culprits from encrypting the messages in a different app they are using for sending. This is just entirely a net loss – right as fash are poised to take over too. What a mess.

Go fash, lose cash. 👍🏻

Yeah, what a loss. Now it will only be able to suggest glue on burgers. /s

Sorry, I should have been clearer: his party scored badly in the EU elections, so he lost credibility in France and is calling snap elections in France. I’ll edit my comment above to clarify.
