Making Debian boot, but keeping the Windows partition, on an old, but not too old for UEFI, laptop. Hopefully the advice here on efibootmgr helps. It promises to also keep Windows from taking over again:

A Bold Plan to Beam Solar Energy Down From Space - The European Space Agency is exploring a unique way to dramatically cut carbon emissions ... - https://www.wired.com/story/a-bold-plan-to-beam-solar-energy-down-from-space/ #science/space #starpower #science

@atomicpoet I just downloaded the app and it took me five minutes.  And I am the most un-technical person around

BP yearly profits have doubled to $27.7bn (£23bn), a new record. It's also now reduced its climate emissions target, because fuck the planet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64544110

It's now TWO YEARS and 32 days since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. In any other first world country he'd already be charged with crimes. Instead Trump is now running for President where he's actively spewing more lies to delegitimize our democracy. INDICT TRUMP!

Capitol police re-install security fencing around Capitol before the State of Union address. The reason is concerns that Trump’s terrorists may wage another attack. Yet not one leading Republican denounces the threats of violence. Today GOP is what FASCISM looks like. #SOTU

@zleap here’s a whole story on thr land under threat & the people fighting for it 🖤

@libreoffice has a #DarkMode. 😍

OK, I updated from 7.3, so I probably missed this feature in 7.4, but this is a _huge_ improvement for me. And I just discovered, that I can change the document background, too. Less strain on my eyes. I'm in love! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I hope my #FreeSoftware & #OpenSource friends attending events in Brussels have safe, pleasant, and rewarding journeys. 💙

I also hope they look around & notice those of us who can't attend this year because there's still a massive global pandemic underway; none of these events put even the most basic WHO-recommended health precautions in place. 😷

New paper in J. Phys. Chem. B: "Shape Evolution of Precipitate Membranes in Flow Systems" by Jessica Nogueira, Bruno Batista, Maggie Cooper et al. We use a nifty microfluidic device called "Junior" and derive a reaction-diffusion-advection model for the downstream thinning of Ni(OH)2.

I am confused about this. If twitters cost saving measures increased CSAM, isn't that the same (basically) as increasing revenue by distributing CSAM?

Sorry Microsoft but I don’t buy that the authenticator app CANNOT work without app use diagnostics from every single user

The web is an informational paradise and a hellscape at the same time. But there are concrete ways in which we can protect ourselves from information overload.
