It's worth emphasizing that the sums of money Russian front groups spent to buy MAGA influencers is significant. As anyone in the news industry can tell you, $100,00 per video is ridiculous compensation.

3 (almost 4) new plugins got merged to #fwupd this week, which I think is a new record: huddly-usb, telink-dfu, and algoltek-usbcr. Also qc-s5gen2 gained BLE support which will cover a lot of new hardware.

There are *another* 3 plugins in various stages of completion which I'm hoping to merge next week too. It's really starting to accelerate now!

If you'd like to massage my ego, you can star the fwupd project on GitHub: github.com/fwupd/fwupd -- thanks!

We are working on it, facing some obstacles right now. So no ETA on that, sorry.

Vice Presidential candidates who were their college dormitory's free-range "devil's advocate" and who everyone wanted to punch in their smarmy fucking face are also a fact of life, and yet, we can do something about them, too, if we want

He knows. I'm pretty sure he hates Trump just as much as any other principled person, considering he's criticized him in public a couple times. For all their faults, the Bush family did somewhat care about the country, and were not anywhere near as racist or homophobic as Trump.

Had a crank weigh in on an old blog post I wrote titled "How much does a photon weigh?" and that's as good an excuse as any to share it again: skullsinthestars.com/2016/10/0…

#FinishedReading book 1 of #AlexPheby 's Cities of the Weft trilogy, picked up on a random recommendation through #Bookstodon , thanks @oarditi. This #NewWeird #Fantasy of baroque metaphysics and bizarre worldbuilding sometimes reads more like a dark grisly fairy tale or myth than a conventional novel. It is a bit unsatisfying how passive the protagonist is, mostly following the (sometimes magical) orders of others rather than driving the narrative. Highly memorable. @bookstodon

#2982 - Water Filtration
A comic titled "How Water Filtration Works" shows a water filtration system, a tube carrying well water that passes through a number of devices: - Water softener - Reverse osmosis - Ultraviolet sterilization - Autoclave - Condenser - X-ray sterilization - Carbon filter - Activated carbon filter (with "neutron source") - Gamma ray sterilization - Cosmic ray sterilization - Electrolysis - Oxygen spallation - Ionizer - Quark-gluon plasma chamber - Hydrogenation - Nucleosynthesis - Reverse electrolysis At the very end of the tube system, another "well water" tube joins, labelled "Local minerals and probiotics added for taste and to support immune health" Hidden text: "You'd think the most expensive part would be the quark-gluon plasma chamber, but it's actually usually the tube to the top of the atmosphere to carry the cosmic rays down."

Using information from inside the rocks on Earth’s surface, we have reconstructed the plate tectonics of the planet over the last 1.8 billion years.

It is the first time Earth’s geological record has been used like this, looking so far back in time.

This has enabled us to attempt mapping the planet over the last 40% of its history, which you can see in the animation below.
