After much anticipation and hours wasted on downloading, it turns out I can't play the Battlefield 6 campaign—the by-myself, not-online, leave-me-alone singleplayer campaign—because I can't enable SecureBoot.

Lovely stuff, just grand.

I would bet that the vast majority won't even know about this until it's way too late.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

When the liberals enact conservative policies the conservatives in turn move further right. Shouldn't be surprised the whole thing ends up looking like MAGA
