Perhaps if it had adequate funding... ?

white-space: pre-wrap;

How about this, then: It fills a niche, but it is full of bad decisions (and fragmentation), and survives mainly by its existing momentum. It's crap in the same sense that Unix is crap: the founder effect has made its flaws impossible to dislodge or rethink.

A popular solution to a problem is not necessarily a good solution to that problem.

There's nothing much to doubt. The evidence is always the same: "our web server logs show scrapers originating from IP addresses owned by someone who didn't pay us."

The Verge article is a little clearer. 100,000 threads pilfered over the past year with scraping! Oh no!

(See also: the actual legal filing. I have to admit the headings sound a little unstable.)

Just you wait—they're way more over-represented they are in subreddit moderators... and in the accelerationist movement.

"Actually" read them? Are there a lot of people running around purporting to have read TSR novels, or to have credentials that require doing so?

There are no real downsides to saying the 2026 version is 26 and the 2126 version is 126. It's just [year - 2000]; you can even imagine this is release 026 rather than 26. Personally I'd worry more about what happens in the year 3000 when they have to release version 1000.

Moreover—these are just version numbers, imitative of dates, rather than actual date fields. It's not like someone is going to be charged for unpaid bills because their iOS version number was accidentally parsed as being in the past. Take your damn pills, grandma!

And yet you registered on Slashdot. Curious.

Trump has been in office for months, so I'm having doubts on who did what when.
That's because you're ignoring all of the evidence, apparently from some bizarre need to exonerate Donald Trump of responsibility.

Trump campaigned on mass deportations; he's talked multiple times about getting sending people back to "shithole countries". He appointed people who are doing exactly that.

He is responsible; your attempts to deflect that responsibility are just ridiculous distractions.

The Trump administration is literally sending people to concentration camps and sending people to countries where they will die. Quit defending that callous awfulness.

At least fifty of the Venezuelans that were sent to El Salvador were here legally.

Let's be clear about what happened:
- They applied for, and were granted, refugee status or some other legal status.
- The arrived in the United States legally.
- They committed no crimes while they were here.
- Trump sent them to a concentration camp in El Salvador.

These actions by the Trump administration are abhorrent and indefensible.

and this looks like a matter of their status as temporary refugees has expired
What's with the passive voice bs? The Trump administration changed their status; it's not some clock that was already ticking, this was directly caused by Noem.

many returned to Afghanistan willingly
Bullshit.

why didn't anyone stop the Trump administration
I don't have the words to describe how truly fucked-up that paragraph is.

At the same time Trump expedited the refugees from South Africa, he reversed the status of refugees from Afghanistan.

These were people who had directly helped the United States. They had demonstrated this work ethic you claim to be worried about over and over again, in incredibly difficult circumstances. Many acted as translators, and already speak English.

Trump wants to send these people back to a country where they will be tortured and killed.

The racism is obvious. The only reason you don't see it is because you choose to ignore tit.

(The social credit system isn't real. See here for debunking.)

They kinda did; Diet Coke is based on the New Coke recipe.

C++: You accidentally create a dozen instances of yourself and shoot them all in the foot. Providing emergency medical care is impossible since you can't tell which are bitwise copies and which are just pointing at others and saying "that's me, over there."
