What is this obsession with pedophilia? I'm really getting rather suspicious of MAGA. I suspect your average Catholic priest or Southern Baptist youth pastor thinks about nude children less than most MAGA individuals.

There is such a thing as an armed security guard. The Louvre unfortunately didn't have any.

Since when do the city schools suck? Palo Alto is a wealthy city whose schools are considered high quality. Perhaps you are thinking of East Palo Alto, Palo Alto's poor neighbor, many of whose schools are not very good?

It isn't just a preschool. And the neighbors' complaints aren't just about the school traffic. They're about constant construction, which is reportedly noisy and obstructs the streets, and security staff whose activities are not restricted to the Zuckerberg's property.

"homeschooling" is teaching one's own kids. When you're teaching somewhere between 14 and 30, most of whom are not your own kids (the Zuckerbergs apparently have three), and you employ teachers to do it,, it isn't "homeschooling". You're running a school.

I would think that this would be an easy bug to fix. It sounds like it is isolate to one place in one file. Is there a technical reason why it took so long to fix? Or did Microsoft just not feel like it? (I do almost all of my work on GNU/Linux so don't know a lot about MS windows.)

I take your point, but my understanding is that the mother has sole custody and that her ex merely has time with the children. But it isn't entirely clear from the news articles I found.

I find it hard to believe that Apple is technically unable to fix this. Presumably there is a data structure that contains the information about who is in charge of the account and they can edit it. If so, is the problem that they are afraid the ex-husband will sue them for breach of contract? I would think that the custody order would provide a good defense. What exactly is Apple's reason for saying they can't fix this?

There are many native-born American citizens whose primary language is not English. These include a large number of Spanish speakers and smaller numbers of speakers of Native American languages.

It's 2025. We've known for a couple of decades that Win32/Win64 and Windows and its main ecosystem only work because various hacks into the kernel to make it all run more smoothly. Even the video driver architecture basically has built in restarts when buffers blow up.

It's a shitty proprietary operating system which somehow, every time they try to clean it up, it gets worse under and on top of the hood. I stopped using Windows for my own personal devices four years ago, and will not go back. Ubuntu, Debian and MacOS offer cleaner UIs, and even if the software libraries are a bit smaller, at least I'm not a prisoner to endless ads.

Christ I had to set up a Win11 laptop yesterday, and between setting up the OS and Edge I had to turn down "offers" and additional tracking functionality around seven or eight times. Actually more, because then I set up a non-privileged user profile, and had to do it all again. And that was Win11 Pro. I can only imagine how much worse the Home editions are.

There's no speculation that increases CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere lead to the more heat being trapped. We've known that since the late 19th century.

I wonder how they steal the crypto? You'd think that North Koreans would not be good at social engineering. Are they able to break the encryption?

It just goes to show you, there's none more gullible than the paranoid.

Small scale operators may be able to run diesel generators, but for operations on the scale of crypto-mining, they'll need permits to set up a large generating plant of their own, and the government can say no.

When I want to point out to the kind of morons who post on the Internet, I'll tuck this post away.
