It's dead, Jim.

It's not coming back.

Some of us *like* having a watch.

No.quack.

4chan!

Yes, you can run Linux. You will need z/Architecture binaries of all your Linux apps if you are expecting to migrate to IBM mainframes, though. This will range from "not trivial" to "impossible".

"they'll mostly test for 'woke' and then decide on that basis."

Of course not. It's ridiculous that they would test on such an irrelevant basis.

They'll test on size of the applicant's donations to Trump.

They make more money for the people who run them. That's "better". And since it's the people who run them who decide what goes in them, that's what we go with.

I really think Roblox is missing the point.

Sure, age-verification might impede underage use of their product, but there are a lot of adults that understand the age-verification movement to be an invasion of their privacy. Whether or not this is true, "perception is reality".

The real problem is that given his rank, he would be in a position to hear things sooner than others further down the food chain. Anyone paying attention to who is doing any betting could have (or should have) asked what they might now that would cause them to place the bet they did. In this case, it boils down to an OPSEC violation, and that's illegal under any circumstance, punishable by UCMJ if not actual civilian law. The fact that the FBI are involved tells me that this guy will probably be facing UCMJ violations too (if he's lucky, court martial if he's not), and may not be a Sergeant Major any longer when the dust settles.

Curious, then, that if such a law was already passed that recently that the likes of Pelosi (and surely other members of both parties) still managed to get around it.
Congress (as a whole) acts as if their shit doesn't stink. It's high time they get reminded that it most certainly does.
