How do planets like Earth form? One theory predicts that asteroid-like objects called planetesimals bounce and bang into each other until they form a planet. Another posits that torrents of cosmic pebbles coalesce into a rocky surface. https://www.quantamagazine.org/scientists-debate-if-cosmic-pebbles-create-rocky-planets-like-earth-20211103/

To be fair though, NTP (Network Time Protocol) can be fairly easily compromised if its not in the secure form. We remember reading something about it. It would be a bit less precise but we think it should go over a privacy layer like I2P or Tor to limit the ability of performing targetted attacks.
The clock at the hardware level could be starting to fail too, which would not be a Windows issue.

What happened to the Flockingbird project?, seems to have gone quiet, unless I saved the wrong link in my browser.
I need to hire a #solidity programmer...
I have no idea what windows 10 was playing at earlier today.
As Iam running code club, I tried to access stack overflow. Doing this threw up an error, something to do with a website certificate and the time on my system,
At the time it was 10:46 am but the computer clock seemed to think it was 11:45,
Unable to change the computer clock (not admin), I decided to reboot, only this seemed to make the situation worse as the computer clock was now 12:40 something, so moved forward another hour,.
Gave up.
Windows 10 = FAIL
Would love to hear the community’s thoughts on making inclusivity/accessibility a core tenet in elementary OS.

A dichotomy of user-hostile software:
- Mainstream software: user-hostile because it has a dozen popups trying to upsell you / accept cookies / grant permission to sell your data
- OSS software: user-hostile because it expects you to know how to use GPG to sign a certificate on the command line, and fuck you if you don't know what any of those words mean
