IMHO TNR and Calibri are both shite, but I can see why one would want to go back to a decades old standerd.
As for calling Calibri "woke" - is this Rubio guy on crack?
Nuclear Fission isn't cost effective
The key part is pricing in the eco-balance of electricity and all other forms of energy and processed goods before doing anything else, like rebuilding fission. Until you do that, ecological damage will always be an unpriced externality and the market price will never reflect the real damage done and your math on fission will always come up short. Example: Meat and Smartphones would be roughly 4x in cost of what they cost today if the eco-balance were priced in correctly. And that's all we would need to do to fix our environmental problems in record speed.

US college is a joke, especially to young men. Raw deals left, right and center. You're more likely to get your life ruined by a guilty-until-proven-innocent sexual harassment accusation than finding a mate "for life" that isn't saddled with obscene amounts of debt like you are, ready to bail out once you've paid through the nose for both of you.
US colleges now trying to be "places of connection" for young men has to be the biggest joke of todays age of misandry and man-bashing.
If I were a young man in the US, college would be the very last place I'd be looking for connection these days. And for just about everything else - highly specialized degrees in engineering, CompSci, physics, chemistry and such aside - I'd steer just as clear from US colleges. As a regular young guy without huge amounts of money to burn you're way better off learning and working a trade than going to college these days.
Laughably overpriced US colleges are going the way of the Dodo, and they're feeling it. That's what this recent change of mind is all about, nothing more.
... and that somebody as omnipresent as an LLM-bot would influence those way more effectively than a regular human should be of no big surprise.
Just what US for-profit college needs. Great.
... complete retard in that way.

German carmakers today are precisely at where US car-makers where in the mid to late 60ies: aloof, disconnected and arrogant, relying to much on brand-recognition to pull off non-sense like planned obsolescence or subscriptions for your heated seats.
Thank you for pointing out these "minor details" of this "nuclear-fission-including-all-of-its-problems on steoroids".
... of a thing to begin with.
It came to fame when some Java guys finally discovered convention over configuration, built yet another web framework around it and bedazzled the world with a 15 minute presentation of Ruby on Rails. The marketing of the ruby on rails FOSS project was the true genius behind all the hype. However, Ruby itself was still struggling with basics such as utf 8 and other details, so people stuck with php, Python or whatever else they were using at the time.
Rails never really caught on in a larger scale. If it had, Ruby would be a thing today. I think it's safe to say that TypeScript has taken its place.
I'd say the similarities in name aren't by accident. I wish Jolla good luck they had a nice product but 400 euros for a crow funded phone from a company know for it's volatility probably doesn't inspire confidence in long term viability. Just saying.
You might call it a tad goofy to turn a somewhat b-movie "hero" into a high quality bronze statue and place it in public display, but this was entirely a private initiative and it's standing in a commercial property and the owners where in on the fun. That's how stuff like this (and weird woke projects) should be done.
I get the joke - RoboCop was also a commentary on the derelict state of Detroit - and would pay the statue a visit.
... is that it's a protocol designed and built by someone who knew what he was doing (Linus Torwalds) resulting, among other things, in the fact that migrating your upstream Git repo away from a commercial service like Github takes something like 20 seconds, if you're having a slow day.
Git is one of those things that bring the genius of well planned and built software to full display.
BTW, if you want to host your own web-interfaces upstream repo, Gitea is a very neat open source software for doing exactly that.
If a bot-car can be held up by a gangster simply stepping in front of it in a situation where you'd actually like to rather plow through, how safe is that car for the people in it? Given, cars are more dangerous for their environment most of the time, but sometimes its the environment that is more dangerous for the car and the people in it.
Also driving through a rising river that is a meter deep may usually be a bad idea, but if the flood is rising it might be well worth the risk and a very reasonable decision to attempt it. You want to be able to actively make your car do that in those situations.
... wether a dumb command or AI deletes everything makes no difference.
I hope he had it in place or learnt his lesson.
