  • No one supports people breaking the laws.

    What about these laws? Or these laws? Don't you support people breaking unjust laws?

    I think what you're really saying is that you think US immigration laws are generally just.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_(snail)

    these two snails mated with each other instead, producing 170 right-coiled snails. One of the left-coiled snails later mated with Jeremy, producing 56 offspring, all of which also had right-coiling shells.

    they also omitted this crucial detail:

    Jeremy was named after the left-wing British Labour politician Jeremy Corbyn, on account of it being a "lefty" snail, but also due to Corbyn's reported love of gardening.

  • Wikipedia says:

    The mitochondrion is popularly nicknamed the "powerhouse of the cell", a phrase popularized by Philip Siekevitz in a 1957 Scientific American article of the same name.[4]

    But know your meme attributes its meme status to this tumblr post from 2013:

    Contrary to comments in many places like this reddit thread from 2018, I suspect the phrase wasn't actually used in many textbooks or very commonly known prior to that tumblr post.

    (If you search on Google Books you can find numerous textbooks using the phrase. Range-based search on Google Books appears to be broken so I'm not sure, but all the ones I checked were published well after 2013.)

  • I’m planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century

    I think it was born in the 21st century? From this it looks like the first Celeron M was in 2004, and the first at that clockspeed was 2005.

    Also, 2GB of RAM is plenty for many purposes - that's more than any Raspberry Pi before the Pi 4 had!

  • I guess an LLM wrote this:

    All Firefox users—especially those on versions prior to 139.0.4—should:

    • Update immediately to version 139.0.4 via built-in browser update tools or Mozilla’s official download page.

    🙄

  • Are forks like Librewolf also affected?

    Yes

    And have they been updated?

    Librewolf is in the process of updating; perhaps some distributions of it have released new binaries already but the flathub release is still 139.0.1. In git you can see they bumped the version to get 139.0.4 (the version with the fix) here, 18 hours ago; presumably flathub will get that in the near future.

  • were you careful to be sure to get the parts that have the key’s name and email address?

    It should be if there is chunks missing its unusable. At least thats my thinking, since gpg is usually a binary and ascii armor makes it human readable. As long as a person cannot guess the blacked out parts, there shouldnt be any data.

    you are mistaken. A PGP key is a binary structure which includes the metadata. PGP's "ascii-armor" means base64-encoding that binary structure (and putting the BEGIN and END header lines around it). One can decode fragments of a base64-encoded string without having the whole thing. To confirm this, you can use a tool like xxd (or hexdump) - try pasting half of your ascii-armored key in to base64 -d | xxd (and hit enter and ctrl-D to terminate the input) and you will see the binary structure as hex and ascii - including the key metadata. i think either half will do, as PGP keys typically have their metadata in there at least twice.

  • how did you choose which areas to redact? were you careful to be sure to get the parts that have the key's name and email address?
