"CISA previously published this ICR in the Federal Register on October 30, 2024, for a 60-day public comment period. CISA received one comment. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30-days for public comments."

Well, same, but I have a bit more linux experience more than macOS, and linux is a lot less stuff than macos. Apple may have plans to implement voice which means it's always on, and it will hear everything, in the future, and linux doesn't plan on that any time soon. And the UI might become so inaccessible if newer versions get this permanent always on voice stuff.

@mckensie I wanna get a macbook at some point, but even if I do that's not gonna mean I get rid of this Windows desktop, I play audiogames and do stuff that's only possible on Windows, and I don't wanna have to only rely on something like Shadow or even virtual machines to do Windows stuff. I can install Jump Desktop and access this desktop from other devices when needed.

Part 1: Oh really, you think you invented the idea of pharmacies? How can you think that you of all people could afford to buy a pharmacy?

Part 2: I know more about muppets, and liking them wrong is an insult to me, personally

Part 3: Stop attacking me! The fact everyone is mercilessly clowning on me must be a conspiracy, and everyone would take me seriously if not for your RUDE responses!

Part 4: People don't give Gul Dukat enough credit for oh shit help I just went too mask off!

A 20-year-old Florida man at the center of a prolific cybercrime group known as “Scattered Spider” was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison today, and ordered to pay roughly $13 million in restitution to victims.

Noah Michael Urban of Palm Coast, Fla. pleaded guilty in April 2025 to charges of wire fraud and conspiracy. Florida prosecutors alleged Urban conspired with others to steal at least $800,000 from five victims via SIM-swapping attacks that diverted their mobile phone calls and text messages to devices controlled by Urban and his co-conspirators.

Reached via Twitter/X, Urban responded from Fla. county jail that the 10 yr sentence was more than prosecutors asked for because the judge was mad that Scattered Spider hacked his court.

A court transcript (PDF) from a status hearing in February 2025 shows Urban was telling the truth about the hacking incident that happened while he was in federal custody. It involved an intrusion into a magistrate judge’s email account, where a copy of Urban’s sealed indictment was stolen. The judge told attorneys for both sides that a co-defendant in the California case was trying to find out about Mr. Urban’s activity in the Florida case.

“What it ultimately turned into a was a big faux pas,” Judge Harvey E. Schlesinger said. “The Court’s password…business is handled by an outside contractor. And somebody called the outside contractor representing Judge Toomey saying, ‘I need a password change.’ And they gave out the password change. That’s how whoever was making the phone call got into the court.”

@GossiTheDog There is a technical distinction here: he was in jail (pre-trial detention & short sentences) not prison (post-conviction, long sentences) because he was denied bail, not because he was actually convicted of anything.
As with everything legal in the US, the specifics of what is permitted for defendants vs. what is allowed for convicts varies between states and even between counties in a state.
