How about government is paying for treatment of people too poor to pay themselves and everyone is paying their share to finance that spending? And as a bonus everyone else will also get their medical treatment financed this way?
Based on my experience, more recent kernel versions have more fixes/better support for recent hardware(or sometimes not so recent). LTS doesn't backport everything from later releases for obvious reasons.
> Qualcomm showed Linux working in October 2023 yet here in October 2024 Linux does not work. I don't get it.
Curse of Android, Qualcomm lived for so long with permanently forked kernel, that there is no pressure on code quality, only thing they know is how to sling minimally viable platform code at their unfortunate customers. No one cares about maintainability of it, because even before code has a chance to stabilise, there is already new model to be released, new hardware to be supported. At this point no one cares about old hardware.

User facing ability to whitelist and blacklist websites in search results, ability to set weights for websites you want to see higher in search results.
Spamlists for search results, so even if you don't have knowledge/experience to do it yourself, you can still protect them from spam.
It's recreation of e-mail situation, not because it's good, but because www is getting even worse than e-mail.
> One of the first things I learned in film school is _nothing_ in a production at that level is coincidence or serendipity. To get to the final script and storyboard, the writers would have gone through multiple drafts, and a great deal of material gets either cut, or retooled to reinforce thematic elements. To the extent that The Simpsons was a goofy cartoon, its writers’ room carried a great deal of intellectual and academic heft, and I don’t doubt for a moment that there was full intention with both the joke itself, and the choice to leave the character’s motivations ambiguous.
Not everything, for example I read somewhere that chess "fight" in Tween Peaks was random and didn't adhere to chess rules because no one really paid attention to record or follow moves.
You do know that a transparent tattoo doesn't mean 100% transparency, right?
A transparent tattoo has parts inside of it where the skin is still completely visible or the skin is partially visible.
A solid tattoo blocks out your natural skin color entirely and is generally associated with criminal gangs such as the Japanese Yakuza or tattoo addictions.
It's unfortunate that it's not better regulated and thus safe to yolo just get one, but glow in the dark tattoos that use ink that can't be seen in ordinary light are particularly cool.
> Okay? I'm not surprised that a conservative judge is part of a conservative ideological legal organization. That doesn't mean the same thing as saying they're a politician who is funded by someone.
Doesn't it make it looks like he is a ideologue supported by ideological organisation that happens to be a judge and uses this occupation to further his ideology instead of basing judgements on law?
And that organisation conspire to promote judges that are ideologues first?
> Good point. But the audit seems useless now. It's supposed to prevent the carelessness from causing... this thing that happened anyway.
> Sure, maybe it prevented even more events like this from happening. But still.
Because the point of audit is not to prevent hacks, it's to prove that you did your due diligence to not get hacked, so fact that hack happened is not your fault.
You can hide under umbrella of "sometimes hacks happen no matter what you do".
CYA is the reason you do the audit. But the reason for the audit's existence and requirement is definitely so that hacks don't happen. Don't tell me regulatory agencies require things so that companies can hide behind them.
It depends on what your position is. Are you there to actually provide security to your org or to tick a in an audit. If both which is more important. Because failing an audit have real consequences, while having breaches in security have almost none. Just look at credit score companies.
