Apparently the OSINT community over on the dead bird... is in shambles. "..what the current war in Israel and Gaza has made clear in recent days is that there are many verified, popular accounts on Twitter that use the OSINT term to give legitimacy to shoddy work that only creates more confusion.

Apple's deep hate for #RighttoRepair has no introduction so Cory Doctorow's (@pluralistic) piece on their "parts-pairing" scam to effectively kill any repair job is so spot on. It's really like these states that passed these R2R laws got absolutely played here. https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/22/vin-locking/#thought-differently

The Story of Lorem Ipsum: How Scrambled Text by Cicero Became Used by Typesetters Everywhere

In high school, the language I most fell in love with happened to be a dead one: Latin. Sure, it’s spoken at the Vatican, and when I first began to study the tongue of Virgil and Catullus, friends joked that I could only use it if I moved to Rome.
