I cannot imagine a less welcoming and beginner friendly community

You have very little imagination, then.

There's no "may" about it. The Ars Technica article indicates that the Internet Archive's front page was (briefly) altered in addition to the account data being stolen.

It's a cat. It got curious about the inner workings of a satellite and stayed there past liftoff to investigate. And now it's acting silly in front of the camera in the hope that the servant monkeys back on the ground can figure out how to send it a zero-G litterbox and a bag of Cat Chow.

(/s, of course.)

Experiencing a bit of plane envy here, since the only one I inherited was trash and yours looks very nice indeed.

Let's face it, an age gap of 5-6 years would be unremarkable if they were in their 30s. The problem is anyone, of any age, making the moves on a prepubescent girl. That's where the ick is coming from. I was willing to tolerate it as long as it was just infatuation from a distrance, but the let's-pretend-this-isn't-a-kiss was a bridge too far. I don't think I would be comfortable with it even if they were both 10 or whatever age she said she was.

Overprotective male relatives are doing a piss-poor job of actually protecting her.

Bet that by "average" they mean "mean", when the median would really be a more useful measure in this case (as it often is with anything to do with wealth).

If a pigeon crapped on his head, Poilievre would find a way to blame the Liberals for it.

Some series that no one else has mentioned yet:

Demon Lord, Retry! R: Somehow the artwork and animation is managing to be even worse than that from the 2019 series—guys, at least try to keep the main character's hair length consistent, okay? Plus, 95% of what's been shown so far has been a recap of the earlier version. As of the end of the second episode, they are finally caught up. The bizarrely chosen ecchi material, while it doesn't make up any significant fraction of the runtime, is even more grating in the recap than the original. I found the original series amusing despite its many faults, so I'll stick with this one for a while, but in general I don't recommend it.

The Healer who was Banished from his Party etc.: Bog-standard protagonist-that-no-one-has-noticed-is-overpowered fantasy light novel schlock. Okay for turning your brain off, but otherwise don't bother.

Good-bye, Dragon Life: Bog-standard protagonist-hides-his-power fantasy light novel schlock so far. Another one suitable for turning one's brain off.

The Most Notorious "Talker" etc.: And for the hat trick, we have protagonist-wants-to-get-stronger fantasy light novel schlock. This one managed to get my attention slightly more than the others by ending the first ep. on a weak cliffhanger. I doubt it'll come to anything, but we'll see.

Trillion Game: Mixed feelings about this one, probably because I empathize a little too much with Gaku. Haru, on the other hand, seems like a slimeball despite attempts to depict him sympathetically. Haven't watched the second episode yet.

I'm still waiting on several other series. There seem to be an awful lot of late premieres this season.

We've known this was coming for a while now . . . but I suppose not everyone reads tech news.

Yeah, the takeaway from this is, "We need some public service announcements about bats," and "The healthcare protocol needs to be updated so that a shot is given if a bat is found in a room where someone was asleep or otherwise may have been bitten without being conscious of it," not "These are bad parents."

Separate remote code execution vulnerability in unupdated versions of RocketMQ, a Chinese-developed messaging/streaming server, in the case of the infection described in the article. It's possible that there are a few other RCE vulns it can make use of, but 20000 of them seems unlikely.

You consider school shootings to be be progress? (Seriously, that's a topic that should never be brought up with respect to the presence or absence of cell phones in schools. Fix your damned gun control laws, or rather the lack thereof.)
