Surely, the kernel could benefit from a concerted effort to pare down support for devices that are 30+ years past their prime and focus more on chasing bugs?

If Ford would manufacture an EV that people actually want, they'd sell more of them. They are perceived as a market laggard for EVs for a reason and their bread and butter is still the pick-up truck and SUV markets.

Ford's stock price has bounced around between a few dollars and just over $10 for much of the past 20 years. Their systemic problems extend well past their current EV market share.

Our younger kids have had school issued chromebooks since they were in kindergarten. They seem to mostly be used for roblox, mindcraft, and surfing "school safe" youtube. On the rare occasion that I see actual "school work" happening, it's more like a game than actual education. So we've redirected most of their after school time to team sports and playing outside. The world seems all stocked up on overweight children that are glued to games and screens. I'll make sure they know how to use computers, tablets, etc, but it's not going to be their constant companion or a viable alternative to actual social interaction and exercise.

I'm leery of professional practice as there has been numerous document cases of abuse by both practitioners and government. Can't say if that aspect has ended or is just more well hidden. I doubt the quest for a mind control drug has gone away.

That said, the benefits of psilocybin are well documented. I just don't trust the current regulatory environment.

You'll know we've reached that stage when there is armed conflict over control of Lake Baikal.

If you think you can escape transactional money grabs and lock-in by moving from VMWare to Big Blue as a hypervisor platform, you're kidding yourself. It doesn't matter if it's Z/OS or Openshift...it'll be a similar experience to getting gouged by Broadcom.

Ryan Grim has made the argument Trump has done more to advance a leftist agenda than the democrats (yes yes yes, Republican lite) in the past few decades.

Trump will be a complex historical figure in that his monumental failures have changed the stagnation that defined the start of the 21st century, maybe for the better.

Of course he will still try to take credit for it as some pan-dimensional chess he was doing all along.

To a new drug to treat male pattern baldness. It's all about monetization of new drugs. Curing 50 people a year for deafness isn't profitable enough for big pharma.

Euphemism as ID is essentially a passkey for access, and a further passkey to verify the ID. Not much different than the Swiss bank accounts of yore.

Which, duh, it shouldn't be centralized, and no information needs to be stored once authentication has been made the first time. Just a passkey.

My sense is that organizations do things in this manner because it is convenient and they are not liable for the costs.

Facebook is a blight on our collective culture and is merely a tool to monetize data that ought to be private.

I found that kids will just sit there and mindlessly watch inane video shorts on youtube for hours. Youtube is blackholed on my home network. Thank you pihole.

What's happening right now is all those crude oil tankers normally loading up in the Persian Gulf are now all heading to loading up from American ports, of all things! And some may head towards Venezuela, shiping heavier Venezuelan crude oil to European refineries equipped to process the denser crude.

I think when JR Central introduces these new modified 700S Series train sets, they will likely cater specifically to business passengers willing to pay for more comfortable seating. As such, trains will run on the "Nozomi" trains that run only between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka stations.

How would you tell the difference?
