I don't remember the original inspiration, just that it took a lot of walking to find the right combo of flower and Sun angle to pull it off.

A federal courtroom in Texas became the setting for an unexpected cybersecurity lesson when FBI investigators showed they could pull copies of encrypted Signal conversations off a suspect's iPhone, despite the app having been completely wiped from the device: FBI retrieved deleted Signal messages from iPhone notification storage https://betanews.com/article/fbi-recovered-deleted-signal-messages-iphone/
The reason why the Artemis mission has everyone so fascinated is because it is a showcase for the efforts of people who are very, very good at their jobs, at a time when the news cycle is dominated by people who are not merely terrible at their jobs, but awful human beings as well.

Orange Rapist screamed at his lawyers to sue Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez for calling him a rapist until they explained that doing so would require her lawyers to access the #TrumpSteinFiles and that he would have to testify under oath about #Epstein.

Russian Telegram videos now show how ordinary citizens are stopped and having their phones searched.

During these searches, the police writes down their phones' unique International Mobile Equipment Identity number to log their real identity and this number in a database. So every time a citizen turns on his phone, the dictatorship then knows which citizen it is, where he is, what he is doing online, and who he is talking to.

This is not a country. This is the largest prison on earth.

What was your first #Linux?

In 2001 my WinME crashed in the evening & it was clear I need to reinstall it! Everything was broken, but very important stuff was on the HDD!

Luckily l lived close to a gas station, which was opened that night & they were selling computer magazines.
So I went with my last money to the gas station & bought one with an #SuseLinux DVD (or CD) & was then able to download my important data.

This was the start of my Linux journey

So thank you @torvalds
