Maybe the Cuban president should ensure vital infrastructure can be maintained and holds an inventory of spares?

Something that'd be significantly easier to do if it weren't for the US's continued immoral blockade and sanctions? Cuba does not have the resources to maintain the plant purely on their own, and they can't hit a magic button that will suddenly let them find an abundance of spare tools and equipment to repair their infrastructure in a disaster scenario without wider access to international trade.

"left-wing"

A self-proclaimed "proud Democrat" that is a poor caricature of a milquetoast neoliberal is not left-wing, but I guess I shouldn't expect even the bare minimum of political literacy from WaPo.

Which apps are you using? I use Liftoff and have four instances added that I regularly browse, but I'm only logged in to two (because I only have accounts on those two). I haven't had problems browsing or sharing content on the instances I'm not logged into on this app and the links open in browsers just fine without a login wall for people I share with.

I saw the value of bitcoin and the blockchain as a payment system in 2013

And yet it has failed to provide any real value in that front in over a decade of existence. Bitcoin itself and similar L1 blockchains are too horrifically inefficient and (aside from debatably Monero?) they haven't truly been any more private than traditional payment methods. L2 blockchains don't even help solve the problem of transaction speed/efficiency enough for widespread adoption, and other techniques such as sharding have problems of their own that harm viability as a valuable payment system. And none of this even touches on the instability in value of the currencies themselves - even "stablecoins" aren't safe, as we've seen from the collapse of several in recent years. The blockchain does not provide any broad value that is not already provided in better ways by other solutions that already exists - hence, "a solution in search of a problem".

It eludes you because you're a reasonable person who understands it's not necessary lol. Cryptobros and the blockchain are the very definition of "a solution in search of a problem" - a lot of great work has been put into this technology that sounds cool on the surface and that seems like it might be able to uniquely solve some problem, but they've yet to actually come up with anything of value (unless you see broad value in more efficiently scamming people or laundering money).

Shit, Microsoft docs are better than most other large companies with broadly used software even, not just random undocumented BS from smaller companies and products. In my experience, Microsoft's Xamarin docs are somehow often a better guide for Android development than Google's docs (good god are the official Android docs some of the hottest garbage that a company of Google's size and talent could put out), and I've yet to find a better general reference for any language or library than Microsoft's .NET documentation. I've seen a lot of people dunk on it for it's verbosity and/or "example bloat" but I love the length of their docs for breaking down different use-cases and giving examples of each, along with potential misuses and recommended alternatives.

That said, they do still have some garbage docs (like what OP is pointing out), but my general experience with their docs, especially for their larger/more mainstream products, has been surprisingly positive.

Fucking legendary, I kneel.

But really, despite everyone's kneejerk reaction, I'm actually looking forward to seeing how this plays out. This has been something of an obvious ticking time bomb the entire series: Ruby/Sarina finding out that her first love, whom she has a deep, unhealthy attachment to due to the circumstances of her previous life, is actually her twin brother in her new life? Piled on top of how the two never really bonded as siblings in this life? Yeah, that's a quick recipe to a fucked up mental state and it will be interesting to see how Aka-sensei navigates the topic and resolves it.

Am I missing a reason for such a change?

They wanted to fall in line with what all the Chromium-based browsers do.

That said, there is a way to get it to start asking you what to do with files again (though I don't remember how), but it still always saves the file to your Downloads folder (because that's what Chromium-based browsers do) which there is no option to change yet as far as I'm aware. To be honest, I'm not sure they ever will implement that as a feature, but I really hope they do because I hate having to go manually cleaning out my downloads when just letting me dump them to a temp dir would make life so much easier.

Ah, yes, France, the country famous for never having riots before the invention of social media and video games.

Justices need to die or retire in order for there to be a vacancy for a President to appoint a new Justice to. There was a vacancy at the start of Trump's term due to a death during Obama's that the Republicans refused to confirm an appointment for, and then there was a retirement (Kennedy) and death (RBG) during his term as well.

Any idea why Tesla went against that to a shatter proof glass?

Because Elon Musk is a manchild who thought it was cool and forced his engineers to entertain his idea? The entire design of the Cybertruck just screams "someone high up had a shitty idea and told engineering they had a month to figure out how to make it real without any regard for rules or regulations".
