"Hey, everyone! Don't pay any attention to those Japanese translators who'd been volunteering their time and expertise for the last 20 years that we just insensitively and comprehensively shit on... Look! New mascot logo! Giz cash..."

The FDA lied about it, got sued, and had to retract their statement. I have that linked somewhere around here too. Ah, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloomberg.com%2Fnews...
Your summary completely -- and I would further suggest deliberately and maliciously -- mischaracterizes the case. The article you cite states that the Fifth Circuit found that the FDA overstepped its authority by providing medical advice. Nowhere did the court find the FDA's statements were materially false or misleading -- it is and remains a fact that ivermectin is ineffective and inappropriate for treating COVID. Therefore, claiming the FDA "lied" willfully misrepresents the case.
The article then goes on to support my point and the Democratic Administration's efforts -- that misinformation concerning COVID-19 was and remains rampant, and that it needs to be combatted for the sake of public health.
Speech is not violence. Speech is not a threat to public health. Speech is necessary to find truth in society.
Look up the term, "fighting words." Then go visit a venue with a principally African American clientele, and explain how you should be free to use the N-word without consequence, because it's merely "speech."
It sounds to me like your sanctimonious polemics would be better received on X. They have a prettier UI as well. Off you go, sonny...
...there was extensive documentation on how Biden pressured social media companies to silence everyday American citizens. [

Couple 'o things:
Not even ordinary evidence was provided. So we can set that nonsensical statement aside.
The Truth: The Biden Administration was seeking to remove maliciously posted lies and falsehoods concerning COVID-19's risks and how to mitigate them, so that people without mad Google sk1llz searching for information on staying healthy would be less likely to encounter false, life-threatening information.
Example: Back in 2020, there was this slob who suggested on national television that the best way to avoid COVID was to inject disinfectant , and that the disease could by treated by ivermectin -- which is a horse de-wormer (i.e. an anti-parasitic, not an anti-viral). Both claims were absolute bullshit , but nevertheless got repeated millions of times on social media by "everyday Americans." It was this kind of LIFE-THREATENING GARBAGE that the Democratic Administration was seeking to mitigate. So that people wouldn't, y'know... die.
Well. It seems that Google has been cowed by -- or now is under the complete control of -- fascist filth.

ve never seen a software distribution mechanism as careless and sloppy as NPM. Bazillions of dependencies and no signing of packages. [

Rust's cargo packaging system is almost exactly the same way. And the last time I looked, Go's packaging was very similar. And package signing won't help if the maintainer's key/cert has been exfiltrated and cracked.
This is what you get when you embrace DLL Hell -- the idea that you should pin your program to a single specific revision of a library, rather than, y'know, doing the engineering work to ensure that, as an app author, you're relying only on documented behavior; and, as a library author, to be responsible for creating backward compatibility for old apps linking to old entry points. Sticking to that principle lets you update shared system libraries with the latest enhancements and bug fixes, while remaining relatively sure none of the old clients will break.
"Sometimes you have to break backward compatibility." Agreed, but the interval between those breaks should be measured in years, not days.

I hope you got a good relationship with them! My son can't even talk yet. So, right now, he's just this cute thing that runs around and causes trou^H^H^H^Hgood things to happen.
Previous comments have been drawing analogies to Black Mirror, but this "idea" goes back much further...
...This is an episode of Max Headroom (US version).
Specifically, S02E02: "Deities." A company claims to be able to bring past loved ones back to "life" as an AI, for a modest recurring fee. But Bryce (the creator of Max Headroom) opines they can't possibly have the compute power to do it, as it requires a large mainframe just to run Max's highly flawed, glitching bust.
Wouldn't surprise me if the "visionaries" behind this saw that episode, and saw an opportunity to fleece gullible rubes.
Well, some of that is for classes for people who can't see that default 3-pixel wide scrollbar on Windows 11 in high contrast dark mode.
Fair. Just making fun of Windows 11.
Yeah, you're blessed to have one of each. Until they start conspiring against you, which you KNOW is going to happen.
ha!
Hopefully we'll raise them better than that. And let them see us honoring our parents.
You charge to "upgrade" to Windows 11? How evil are you?
For all my pro-life ramblings, we were granted only one child.
Precious. I feel bad you couldn't have more though. G-d has been very generous to us.
Keeping up with two toddlers after age 50 can't be easy.
And yet i wouldn't trade it for anything! Thank G-d, we have a lot of help. Especially, when some neighboring girls come by to take our son for a walk. G-d bless them all.
So, my son is around 20 pounds now. At my age, that's heavy. My left shoulder became sore from holding all the time he wanted to be held. So sore, i slept on my right side the last few nights just so it wouldn't hurt. But not only that, my daughter just had her one-month checkup and is at 7lb 9oz. She's also getting heavy. Sometimes, i want to hold her all day, but after a few minutes, i have to give up. She lying on my right shoulder as i type this right now.
Thankfully, he was mostly wrong...
Um, when was the last time you stayed at a hotel?
There's a microprocessor in every doorknob.
I'm self-hosting Vaultwarden on my LAN, a Bitwarden-compatible backend written in Rust. I have it running inside a jail on TrueNAS Core (which, alas, is now end-of-life). It hosts its own Web interface, but also is compatible with Bitwarden's Android app and browser plugins.
So far, it's worked out pretty well for me.
...Because no one uses Edge.
Clearly you have never worked in a large corporate environment that has shackled itself to the entire Micros~1 ecosystem -- Office, Outlook, Exchange, OneDrive, Teams, Engage, SharePoint... The whole ball of earwax.
That's what the *purpose* of a child window is.
You can easily make more top level windows if that's what you want.
Sounds like you just had bizarre expectations.
