We tend to assume good faith on hexbear so we don't really notice accidental weird wordings like that :P

Classic stuff. This is the kind of thing liberals jusy pretend doesn't exist. Keep this one bookmarked and archived.

looks like someone already archived it an hour ago https://archive.is/I8q2K

bluesky is supposed to be decentralized in a similar way to activitypub

The article just says they signed authentication tokens which gave them access to outlook emails. I don't think it was code signing that would let them distribute software, and that's not what they were after.

Pretend to be someone they aren't

An actor that can acquire a private signing key can then create falsified tokens with valid signatures that will be accepted by relying parties. This is called token forgery.

This was made possible by a validation error in Microsoft code

Could be people from outside the subreddit?

Looking in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/init/main.c?h=v6.5-rc5 there's a function setup_command_line that seems to set up the built-in command line which is called after setup_boot_config

ok idk what that all was. Here's something more interesting:

In arch/x86/kernel/setup.c it says /* append boot loader cmdline to builtin */. I think that suggests that the builtin comes first. And I assume that the code that queries the command line scans left to right and selects the first instance of an option because there doesn't seem to be anywhere that "loads" args into some kind of structure.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/kernel/setup.c?h=v6.5-rc5#n972

#ifdef CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
#ifdef CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
	strscpy(boot_command_line, builtin_cmdline, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
#else
	if (builtin_cmdline[0]) {
		/* append boot loader cmdline to builtin */
		strlcat(builtin_cmdline, " ", COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
		strlcat(builtin_cmdline, boot_command_line, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
		strscpy(boot_command_line, builtin_cmdline, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
	}
#endif
#endif

I guess the best thing to do would be to run linux in QEMU with the EFI system that's provided by a third party thing and test it out.

so a racist who thinks he can get away with murder using the trans panic "defense".

Yeah the ending was kinda lame. I was expecting it to keep unfolding but then the game just throws in some meaningless final segments and ends abruptly without tying anything together. The game started with a sinister and mysterious tone

spoilerwhich was apparently entirely unfounded because everything is basically as it appears. There's not much secrecy or manipulation beyond them holding on to her brother.

resource extraction near some town? And they're not like colnized oppressed people they're just some probably comfortable British people. They're not in some anti-colonial struggle give me a break.
