These two paragraphs struck me in particular:
> That’s in stark contrast to, say, Google+, which despite corporate backing, incomparably larger budget, and being pushed down people’s throats through forced integration with YouTube, survived mere seven years, nine months, and a week.
Because unfortunately Google probably doesn't see that as a problem. Or even as the Fedi winning. For them, longetivity doesn't matter, but peak user count.
> And once it shut down, it shut down. A social network of millions just blipped out of existence one day. All those moments – lost in time, like tears in rain.
This, too, for them is a good thing. No-one else can profit from "their" data.
This just makes it so crystal clear how the big one's interests aren't aligned with ours. Google+ wasn't really failing in their book, it had served its purpose and then ceased to do so. To us, this is loss. To Google this is just business.

Confused about who is sleeping in the living room. Notices the loud snoring originates from the cat.

How well does this play with RFC 1149, 2549 and 6214?

Weil viele Leute nicht wissen was in den Wahlprogrammen steht. Die Menschen wählen Union und SPD nicht wegen ihrer Programme, sondern, weil sie das immer schon so gemacht haben und "aber die Grünen" "aber die Linken".

> However, our motivation to invest time and energy into this device is exhausted and our experience with coreboot and firmware recovering is limited on these modern devices. It would be great if someone could recover the firmware, or, at the very least, use it as a learning opportunity.

Kind of sounds like something for @npub19wj…g8gs and/or @npub1kte…9duv?

My ADHD says y'all need to give me more updoots because my dopamine levels are low!

Huh? They do mention using UEFIs BootNext – although in this case for supporting dual boot since kexec'ing PE is more of a neat hack than something serious. So this is pretty much exactly what macOS is doing except with the optional short-cut to kexec if possible?
