Subject lines on their forum suggest Firefox and Chromium are both possible.

I would say it's more that we kind of don't know where it belongs in the family tree. There are two big families (Debian, Fedora), three small families (Slackware, Gentoo, Arch), a bunch of singletons . . . and OpenSUSE, which could belong to either the Fedora or the Slackware family depending on the criteria applied.

Actually, no it hasn't. Not one single study have I seen in the science or the mainstream news, just people foaming at the mouth who were really short on facts. Speculation and alarmism are not truth.

Let's look at some, y'know, actual statistics. Nearly everyone who received MAID in 2022 was at least 46, which means that they're not relevant to any eugenics claim—eugenics means removing undesirable traits from the gene pool, and if you've already had kids, killing you doesn't get rid of your genes. People who are more than 20 years past the age of majority have had plenty of time to reproduce if they want to do so.

In order to justify a claim of eugenics, you're therefore going to have to prove that the 1.3% of MAID recipients under the age of 46 were disproportionately slanted toward a specific group, and that this happened because their genes were considered undesirable, and that they weren't terminally ill to begin with. There were 463 people in 2022 who received MAID even though it wasn't projected that they would die soon. 16 of those were under the age of 46, and some may not have been fertile. I think you're going to have a hard time proving a eugenecist agenda based on a sample of less than twenty people.

Most of the MAID recipients under 46 appear to have been terminal cancer patients.

From that, I would say that there is currently no eugenicist agenda that's actually having any effect, and that the system to prevent improper MAID requests from going through is working, at least for the most part.

Well, I downvoted it because I consider pranks to be Not Cool in general, having been a target of a number of mean-spirited ones when I was younger. Others' mileage may vary.

This is not about mentally ill people, this is about people with stage 4 cancer, ALS, and other diseases which cannot be treated, who have a choice between dying in moderate pain now and dying in excruciating pain less than a year down the road, but are physically unable to go find a bridge and throw themselves off. I agree that any other uses of MAID need extremely careful scrutiny, but the person who accused you of throwing the baby out with the bathwater was right on the mark. Making terminally ill people suffer out of a misguided notion of morality benefits no one.

By bringing up eugenics, you're making the claim that specific groups of people are being pressured to request MAID. Where's your evidence? Extraordinary assertions need extraordinary proof.

"Reverses aging in rats". We've also cured cancer in mice dozens of times without the results generalizing to human beings. So even if this works, it may only work on rodents.

Let's just hope the rats don't figure out how to do it for themselves, or we'll be overrun with rejuvenated geriatric rodents.

Worst case, GTK3 themes are just CSS. It's possible, although frustrating and time-consuming, to roll your own. In which case you can style *:hover any way you want.

(GTK4, I got nothin'. Last I checked, the development team was going out of its way to break theming. Which is one of the reasons I've been avoiding GTK4 applications.)

I get the impression that they're getting to the end of it, given the next episode title and preview (and anyway, there's little left to cover except how Helck made his way to the tournament).

This is so obviously something Musk would do that I fail to see how it counts as newsworthy.

My cats don't even pay attention. Maybe it's the enclosure.

He was the one I was thinking of with the bandsaws. I'd forgotten he'd done a jointer.

You're unlikely to have issues unless an entire architecture loses support from your distro, and if you're running x86_64, that isn't going to happen for a long, long time. I've never been in a position where I couldn't compile a new workable kernel for an existing system out of Gentoo's repositories. The only time I've ever needed to put an upgrade aside for a few months involved a machine's video card losing driver support from nvidia—I needed a few spare hours to make sure there were no issues while over to nouveau before I could install a new kernel.

Note that you can run an up-to-date userland on an older kernel, too, provided you make sensible software choices. Changes to the kernel are not supposed to break userspace—that's meant to keep older software running on newer kernels, but it also works the other way around quite a bit of the time.
