Oh that's cool to hear about. Neat!

It requires a flashed rom with a valid (key signature? Crap, forget what it's called).

If you flash an unsigned kernel and try to boot lock, it'll brick.

I get from an absolute security perspective why this is deemed important, I just feel there's a bit too much focus on it, as if an unlocked bootloader is really that insecure. It would still take tremendous effort to get the encryption key for storage, so it's pretty effectively secure still.

I'd say well-maintained and prepared for use. As in tools need be well-maintained to be useful.

If you can't see how you moved them, I can't help you.

I've worked with folks from around the world (including Central and South Americans), some can be touchy about it. Had to tell them "sorry, I, as an American, don't define these terms. Blame Europeans, not me".

"US", "America", "Americans" all have specific denotations... per EMEA, and hell, even Canadians.

It's like nicknames - if you have one, you didn't choose it. It was earned or applied by someone else.

That description of American Colonists is exactly why there was a rebellion.

The English treated the colonists like second-class citizens, going so far as to try to get Ben Franklin to answer for things like the Tea Party, while he was in England, and a Loyalist.

The simplistic "rebelled over taxation" is just a representation of how the Crown and European Brits viewed and treated the colonists.

Colonists didn't quit Britain, the Briton's quit on the Colonists.

Got any more goalposts you'd like to move?

Half? No.

Closer to 98%.

Europeans are just as jingoistic as anyone else. And just as ignorant.

Yep. When my infinity app stopped working a couple days ago I said I'm done.

Now if I want something from reddit I just let my search engine find the post I need. Then save it to OneNote (lots of Android, Pi, Windows stuff)

The news communities are just terrible. I keep having to just block anything with "news" in it

I think the idea was to get some data into lemmy, to seed it from reddit. Seems to have run its course.
