When this goes ahead, and it probably will, I hope that every single app implements it in a totally different, unfriendly, unautomated, way, or even better, make it unique per person, per app. Or, even multiple methods that are only available at certain times of certain days. It'll be absolutely useless to the government if they have to wade through mud to get at the data.

Isn't the B-52 from the 1950s? They're still in-use too.

You went with Excel files as your database??? Are you Satan?

I think people get worried about concepts like pre-crime with this.

I blackholed reddit.com and all sub domains in DNS since the protests started, not looked back.

Correct. You know how JavaScript is not Java? Same thing. If memory serves me correctly there was a bit of a race to be the next Windows script language between NT4 and 2000 (to replace batch), and it was between VBScript and Kixtart (the former won out).

Very similar here. Smoking buddy at work was turning 40 and was like "If we don't quit now, we never will!" so headed to a random vape shop. Bought a vape for lke £50, was on 1.2mg nicotine strength. First day was fine. 2nd day was tough. 3rd was also tough. 4th day I realised "oh shit, never going back to smoking...I feel fine. I can work with this." So that caused me to panick but then thought ok, bought the same vape as a redundancy (so as to not have to fall back on ciagarettes).

Then, after 6 months switched to 0.6mg nicotine. 6 months after that, 0.3mg. 3 months after that 0.2mg (put my high school chemistry hat on, figured 10ml 0.3mg + 10ml 0.3mg + 10ml 0.0mg mixed up in a 30ml bottle = 0.2mg per 10ml). 1 month after that 0.1mg, 1 month after that 0.0mg - 1 month later, stopped entirely (you genuinely just start forgetting about it, it's weird).

Went from 30 cigarettes a day to no nicotine and no vape in 18 months.

Assuming you're talking about the firmware on the device and not the firmware distributed with the kernel/distro to interface with the hardware, I would identify a vendor that uploads to the Linux Vendor Firmware Service for their SSDs.

The wording of the headline, and the people in the photo made me confused.

First: Is this badly worded? Did it mean a mother of twins' child has just had quadruplets? That's the mother at the back in the middle, her 2 twin sons beside her in...clinical gowns? No...

Second: The mother had twins, one of them has had quadruplets, it's him the picture is foc...no, wait - same thing.

Third: The woman at the front has 2 twin daughters (also in the picture), and she's now had an additional set of quadruplets and the father is staring at the camera because...? There's no way in hell he didn't know she was having quadruplets.

Fourth: Why are there 3 people in the back? Like, they're taking the focus.

I mean, it is a bit close to Lemon Party :-/

I'm curious to see how Oracle tackles this, Rocky and Alma seem to be going after the CentOS Stream packages, Amazon has already invested in AL2022/2023 which is a Fedora clone (35, or 36 I can't remember) rather than RHEL. So it's Oracle and all their billions that I want to see which direction they go after.
