@yogthos @lina Is Asahi Linux affected? :<
@lawlznet @lina I suspect that one's safe :)

@yogthos @lina .... *realizes*

Oh derp... >w<

@yogthos that's scary. I only have a Windows disk to play FC24 ⚽ Although my grub is managed by Linux, I'll make an extra timeshift entry to be safe. What a messy way to handle things with #Microsoft.
@yogthos no 🪟s no problems 🤷‍♂️
