You can check (as pages on this say):

grep -qE '^algif_aead ' /proc/modules && echo "Affected module is loaded" || echo "Affected module is NOT loaded"

And none of my machines has that module loaded, happily.

With an actual bike, which you manually pedal, you are intimately connected with the power source of the bike.

So which classes are closer to a bike and less close to a moped? All the classes that cause problems are closer to electric mopeds. What electrical assistance is allowed should be heavily restricted.

anti-throttle for people with disabilities should require a permit, like disabled parking does in some areas. Those capable of pedalling a bike should: a) not be able to have a no-pedal e-bike; and b) not have access to more power than an average cyclist is able to put out.

E-Bikes are less of a bike and more of a moped. They should be treated as such.

No, just one who chucks the parcel over the fence to save time ringing the doorbell.

"Nature Is Still Molding Human Genes" doesn't need to be interpreted in an anthropomorphising way, any more than "Strong winds are still blowing people's roofs off". Just because a verb is used doesn't imply anthropomorphising.

To add a detail to an earlier comment. I often naively assume that humans are still largely adapted biologically to living in small isolated tribes, as we did for many many millennia prior to the growth of civilisation. When civilisation kicks off, we start helping each other survive, and the actual nature of civilisation often presents too fast a moving target for evolution to accurately track. So I assume that many of our innate traits, especially when it comes to basics like food, sex, and survival in the face of threats, are still largely those we had as pre-civilisation humans.

I know this is naive, but I wonder just how far from the mark it is, why, and what the scientific evidence actually shows about this.

I always thought that since we help people survive who would have died out in pre-civilisation conditions, that this effect would blunt the edge of natural selection. (I stand corrected.) But if only we could breed out traits like selfishness and greed.

It will be a case of scroll for the legal limit of pages (say 4), and then there'll be a "due to UK legislation you need to refresh to see more content" as a clickable link, so they click that and, yay, 4 more pages to scroll.

What will happen at some point is that sites that require age verification will require some kind of verifiable token generate by the OS-level age verification. Rather than the myriad proliferating independent age verfication. But it's a legislative ratchet that is unlikely to move in the opposite direction. If you don't want OS level age verification, then likely you'll be confined to the part of the internet that doesn't require age verification.

It's time to sit back and watch a good old game of Whack-a-Mole. Even if Anthropic is successful at taking down the actual source code, most of the people who would want to study it already have it. And they can gently explore the boundaries of what they can communicate without Anthropic being able to do anything about it.

Because laws have been passed that require it. The problem isn't the OS vendor, it's the law. Any commercial backer of a distro that doesn't comply is, in one way or another, complicit in breaking those laws. Many backers will withdraw support in that scenario. So basically it will come down to community forks and patches that the official distros avoid condoning. Probably it won't simply be a case of 'store date of birth in user database' in future, rather they'll have a government ordained supplier of age verification and you have to store some kind of cryptographic token that ties a user account to their official proof of age. Then browsers will be required to present something based on this token to websites. It's gonna get more 1984 as things go on. But Linux distros aren't in a position to oppose this.

And of course that Mac Pro idea was killed by the cosmic trashcan thing. In a sense what one wants is a kind of 'docking tower' into which a Mac Studio fits, giving a lot of expansion. If you want a machine with 3 SSDs and 4 HDDs, you have to put up with crazy sprawl with modern macs. With an old school tower with it all contained inside, you had a single box you could pick up, carry around, and just plug in.

Most software and music piracy is done using the Windows OS. Most of that is running either on CPUs by Intel or AMD. Are Microsoft, Intel, or AMD, complicit in this piracy given that their products are used for it?
