Comment Equal access (Score 4, Insightful) 33
Apparently, the new administration redirected the policy to provide "equal" access (which is great) instead of "equitable" access (which is potentially racist and problematic).

It's not slander if it's true and I'd imagine that Vance would have had the receipts before starting this discussion.

RoccamOccam writes: U.S. Vice President JD Vance joined Bluesky with the post "Hello, Bluesky, I've been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis. So I'm thrilled to be here to engage with all of you." His post included a screenshot from the United States Supreme Court Decision that upheld Tennessee's law barring "gender-affirming" treatments on minors.
He then wrote "To that end, I found Justice Thomas's concurrence on medical care for transgender youth quite illuminating. He argues that many of our so-called 'experts' have used bad arguments and substandard science to push experimental therapies on our youth. I might add that many of those scientists are receiving substantial resources from big pharma to push these medicines on kids. What do you think?".

Serious question - what's the purpose of having the ability to branch if you only have one possible opcode? Everywhere that you can branch to will be equivalent, correct?

I'm seriously looking at re-familiarizing myself with LaTeX to produce reports and papers, because the amount of work I've had to do to get diagrams and images to stay put, and to break my cardinal rule relying solely on styles for formatting makes me think the kind of work I'm doing is much more in typesetting than in word processing.
I suggest that you look at Typst (https://typst.app/). You can use the online app, or (better, in my opinion) use it standalone (Tinymist is a popular plugin for VS Code). Super fast and you won't get into package conflicts. It's increasing in popularity rapidly.

We don't even know who was in charge of the prior administration.
