Long overdue, and less than it should be doing, honestly. But I'll take a step a right in the direction for what it's worth.

Wayland is the fancy new standard that never seems to stably work for me on any of my machines :( Thanks for letting me revert to X in the login screen, GNOME.

I wonder if they exclude the bottom 20% because debt often makes their wealth negative. I'd assume that'd mean the top 1% have more wealth than at least the bottom ~85%.

In fairness, I did quite like the suggestion to just remove division and subtraction! One that should be taken to heart :)

Top marks to Epic for fighting that battle. But are they now going to fine Google for all the profit they illegally gained in the last ten years? Or just a slap on the wrist and require them to put in some weak-choose-another-store option in some phones moving forward?

A fair criticism. Though I think the hating on PEDMAS (or BODMAS as I was taught) is pretty harsh, as it very much does represent parts of the standard of reading mathematical notation when taught correctly. At least I personally was taught its true form was a vertical format:

B

O

DM

AS

I'd also say it's problematic to rely on calculators to implement or demonstrate standards, they do have their own issues.

But overall, hey, it's cool. The world needs more passionate criticisms of ambiguous communication turning into a massive interpration A vs interpretation B argument rather than admitting "maybe it's just ambiguous".

Forward three hours, me using thesaurus.com to try fit the whole gist of my change into the first line.

TL;DR: It'll use a new, more secure key type.

Much love and empathy, comrade. meow-hug

This is the argument every single election. Every time, for decades, and yet things get continually worse.

I'd argue the belief that voting for an establishment party is any kind of a long-term solution is the biggest threat. By all means do it if it'll help a little in the short term, but the ship's still sinking.

Things will get inevitably worse. Voting might slow that decline slightly if we're lucky.

The only hope for any kind of improvement, to reach a slightly tolerable world, is mass action outside of voting, and that just doesn't seem to be happening. So it's hard to care too much.
