  1. TechCrunch: Users turn to jailbreaking their older Kindles as Amazon ends support. “Many people are jailbreaking their Kindles following the news that Amazon is ending technical support for older models…. The move means users will only be able to use their devices to read content that’s already downloaded. So, naturally, people are jailbreaking them.”

  2. Enable ESM in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to Continue Getting Updates

    Time is nearly up on support for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, with standard software, bug fix and security updates coming to an end on May 29, 2025. Users on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS should consider upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (or newer) if possible, but if unable should enable Extended Support Maintenance (ESM) as soon as possible in order to continue receiving critical security patches. ESM for Ubuntu provides “10 years of vulnerability management for critical, high and selected medium [security issues] for all software packages shipped with Ubuntu.” Enabling ESM is a bit of a no-brainer since it’s free for regular :sys_more_orange:

  3. Congratulations to New York for legally recognising the benefits of Natural Organic Reduction (NOR). Informally known as human composting, this is a fast, effective and environmentally responsible option for body disposal.

    Pioneer and creator of human composting, #KatrinaSpade of Recompose, has spent years refining NOR, which is a practical and sustainable after-death option for long-term issues surrounding space and energy consumption for both burial and flame cremation, and is lower-impact than Resomation (alkaline hydrolysis).

    I personally cannot wait to see this option here in Australia, and around the world.
