I've also seen MFA-protected accounts get taken over with no explanation from Microsoft as to how.

The answer is staring you in the face.

Hint: see if you notice the word "Microsoft" It means "Security is not here - look somewhere else" in a foreign language.

The analogy doesnâ€(TM)t really hold. IETF is there to promote cooperation between companies, so that their products can communicate. The interest of the companies is the same as the publicâ€(TM)s one in the field of activities of IETF.
Perhaps public research should be founded by taxes, and not be disguised private research…

You know, like the continuous flow version of a Stirling engine.

Its called an Ericsson engine.

Following your logic there would be NO zero-emissions fuels, including battery power.

The public don't want to hear scientific facts.

There is a reason why America has a right to bullshit people - its what the people want!

Feedforward could meaningfully be used to describe your experiences being supplied to future educators so they can know what is helpful to teach and how to teach it effectively, and/or what not to explain the way that you were taught it, because it was very unhelpful compared to watching Pornhub^w Youtube,

I remember reading about "feed forward" and "forward error correction" in the 1950's.

People who think the words feedforward and feedback can be interchanged without (possibly complete) loss of meaning should be regarded as illiterates.

With a 110v charger, it should be incompatible with most of the world!

My browser is full of memory leaks,

These people need to learn to write code before they implement any new features.

Sir, you lie.

There are other options:

OpenBSD is a perfectly viable alternative, and Devuan is not bad if you do want Linux.

One day, people will realise that MS has been infiltrated and corrupted by Open Source Hippies who have added this stuff in the over-optimistic hope that Windows users will be dreven to use their secure, usable, working Unix-like software instead of "Closed Source Poop-Like" (TM) software that insists on slapping you in the face with a wet fish at every turn and mouse-click.

MS have long understood they do not need to address this, as their users are easily addicted to the "slap in the face with a wet fish" experience, and have no wish to have a pleasant computing experience, or indeed any other kind of pleasant experience.

If they did want enjoyable experiences or a productive computing environment, they would have "gone native" years ago.

Unless SystemD is removed, it won't work for a lot of us because of instability, inadequate consideration of those who have static IPs and local nameservers, and general insanity.

OTOH
Without SystemD, corporates requiring all systems to be maintained by someone with their head in the clouds (probably simulated by AI) will not support it, so there will be no money (eg to handle legal issues^w^w enforcement).

There is also the problem of Gnome vs Mint vs Mate vs KDE vs XFCE vs VWFM95 etc.

If you want standards, use OpenBSD - Unix as it was in 1978, but with Internet support and the bugs fixed - but limited support for hardware more recent than 2008. (Lets face it, 2008 is not long ago for those of us who WERE using Unix in 1978 ;-).

If you want to go full commie, you should use Slackware 0.98 on a 486 and drive a Trabant.

if you have 5.1

But what percentage of the world's population don't?

Me and my partner spend more time watching "foreign" films than native ones. And American is foreign to us.

I, personally, find it impossible to understand most American film dialogue to the extent that I rarely try. OTOH if you are going to watch using subtitles, Spanish, Portuguese or even Korean content can be easier to understand and more interesting.

Why not live in the real world? When did YOU last watch any Igbo films?

Perhaps there should be a poll ... Which language do you prefer when watching subtitled content?

Aside from the magical thinking that somehow they will be able to be able to find a "competent authority"

There is no evidence that the present government would know competence if it hit them on the head with a blunt object, or that any future government, anywhere, would perform the task significantly better.

The underlying problem is that: All the present evidence is that competence and government are mutually incompatible concepts.

Anyone stupid enough to think that a "government agent" can have access to anything without at least one "evil agent" having more and greater access, sooner, should be in protective custardy with immediate effect.

I have no wish to view child porn, but I really don't want the Taliban to have access to my banking app. Let the politicians lead by example, and give the Russian Mafia access to their own banking details.

In fact, why not require all the politicians intending to vote for this policy lead by example and paste all their private encryption keys on their publicity material for 12 months first.

Its not about children or porn, it is about politicians determined to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they are terminally insane.

This phenomenon is not limited to the USA.
