@cstross It was obvious bollocks (just like hyperloop, the boring company etc…), just I didn’t know why he was boosting it as I didn’t realise he was planning an IPO this year. Tosser.

@martinosacchi @pafurijaz “sudo” is short for “superuser do”. It is a widely used system administration tool that lets you run commands with “superuser” privileges, so you can change and access pretty much any part of a system. For security, your account needs to be on a list and you need to enter a password to use it. If left unmaintained, bugs won’t be fixed or necessary changes made. This could result in security holes allowing systems to be compromised.

@sundogplanets Orbiting data centres are stupid for a huge range of reasons, not the least powering them, cooling them and fixing them. Just another idiotic idea from Musk (Optimius, Cybertruck, The Boring Company, “Full” self driving, etc….).

@TechConnectify Absolutely brilliant and insightful commentary, both the economics and the politics. Well said.

@cstross @lauren They could just go full Spartan and leave new borns out overnight so that only the “strongest” survive.

(Note, this is not a good idea on so many levels).
