For example, the developer of asus-linux.org who made the kernel contributions for Asus ROG laptops and the accompanying ROG Control Center recently walked away, due to exhaustion.

What's wrong with original Syncthing? Why would anyone use a fork?

At the same time, the government here in the Netherlands has ruled that being a trans person in the US is not enough persecution to qualify for asylum or refugee status.

Double whammy.

Corporations have largely proven that laws don't apply to them. Until a corporation is truly punished for wrongdoing (not just a fine), this will continue.

I'm in the last chapter of Sea of Stars. It's been decent. I like the pixel art, and the combat loops were challenging enough without being a grind. The plot for the first 2/3 of the game was fairly cutesy but bland. I'm basically grabbing the last few unlockable skills and items before going to the final boss, and I doubt I will try the post-finish addon content.

I think next I'm going to try... The Witcher 3. I've tried to start this game multiple times on PC, modding it and everything. I like the books, played the first two games, but these days I have no interest in sitting at my desk (where I work) in my off hours - I like laying on the couch playing my Switch Lite.

Look, upper and middle income flight passengers were being inconvenienced - the Democratic Party cannot stand for that!

Screwing ACA subsidy recipients? They're easy to sacrifice.

Private flights make up roughly 1/6 of all flights, and from my experience those making private flights at their regional airports are usually flying to and from the big cities. I think it would make a huge difference and inconvenience the fewest people.

If the problem is the total number of planes in the air relative to ATC capacity, shouldn't low-volume planes be grounded first? Prioritize large commercial flights and ground private planes, right?

Developers won't be offering lower prices. They'll be pocketing more.

It doesn't mean that it's a bad outcome, but let's be careful about saying this actually benefits the consumer.
