It isn't virtue signalling if they actually do it. Then it is just virtuous.

Using your phone in a cinema was, is and ever will be a massive faux pas. I have no idea at all why you think it might be otherwise.

Grot is usually intentionally and always utterly unfit for purpose.

Do you drive over a lot of cattle grids?

CD players are precision items and don't take kindly to high impulse. Conversely, many tape decks are seriously robust. My dad had an old Grundig tape deck that was built like a tank (or a 380Z). Pretty sure whoever has that now is still getting quality sounds out of it.

Of course you can do this trivially in cron as well. It is what the CRON_TZ variable is for.

Completely agree. A fresh install beats an in-place major version upgrade every time. Less hazardous and gives an easy path to clear out all the accumulated crud.

Not necessarily. You can spend your cryptocoins with any number of businesses and it is very much the choice of those businesses to accept them or not. No private individuals need be involved.

Note also that any non-crypto currency can also devalue at any moment, although perhaps not to the same extent. Holding anything of any perceived value carries a risk and also a potential reward.

There's an AI bot blacklist? How do I get all my projects onto that?

Websites that promote any religions. No way should under-18s be exposed to that.

Homer: There's three ways to do things: the right way, the Microsoft way and the AI slop way.

Bart: Isn't that the Microsoft way?

Homer: Yes, but faster!

If you are still hosting there I do not see how that means that you have totally given up on the thing.

Or the feature is still there but they've renamed it to something totally unrelated which you would never guess. Honestly, it's like they are actively trying to lose users.

The most depressing email to receive is "Good news! We've improved our website ..."

Lucky you. Blog.js fails for me with a TypeError and I'm disinclined to debug someone else's javascript on a whim, so I don't get to see any of the content at all.

To the OP: JS is for enhancements. If you are using it in such a way that it becomes a potential blocker for all of the content then you are not going to reach the audience that you otherwise would. If you are on somebody else's platform/framework then by all means pass this up the chain.
