Though users are rarely aware of the BIOS, its foundational role makes it a user freedom chokepoint; if it is not free, users cannot trust it not to modify their computers on behalf of the company that wrote it: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/free-bios.html #FreeSoftware

"He should be tried by the ICC!"

Okay, but he won't be.

Zero US citizens have been tried by the ICC and the US is not party to the ICC. They've done some preliminary investigations, but that's it.

Stop looking for outsiders to save us.

It might sound laughable, but using #linux with #umbriel and #noctalia actually feels like magic at times! 😎

I was just walking by myself up a hill, not talking to anyone, when random Swedish stranger said "hej!" to me, just assuming I'm Swedish.

That's the level of Swedishness my presence radiates.

I asked how he knew, but he said he "just guessed", not revealing any of his Swedar secrets.

@aurynn oh no which one

@marnanel from what i understand, the soviet union also had a system where numbers were associated with letters to "ease memorization", but each digit only got one letter, starting with А and skipping Ё (because it's too similar to Е) and З (because it's too similar to 3), but eventually that system went away, because the soviet-era rotary phones i used (i was born after it dissolved, tbf) didn't have them and no phone numbers were spelled out even in old materials, and the next "let's associate digits with letters" idea instead happened with mobile phones when they had to figure out how to type text messages on a keypad

@somewhereinjp It's really never too soon. 😁

Also, belated congratulations. There won't be much sleep for the next few years, but enjoy the ride!
