A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

disable its connections to the internet, printers and wireless networks — a process that took “many weeks to complete.”

I could do that in an hour. Just remove the Wi-Fi module. Cut the wires to the USB ports if you really want to.

Honestly, just give him a regular laptop and don't tell him the Wi-Fi password.

None of these delays were necessary, they were deliberate.
