Awesome, I just checked and had already upgraded at some point. I run the alias command below every now and then which keeps everything up to date.

  alias u="brew update && brew upgrade --greedy -y && brew upgrade --cask -y && brew cleanup"

Agreed, this would be a hard no and makes me think if feature updates will be on an even shorter lifecycle.

The about us page even states "We make phones that last for years" as their company quest[0].

New comment by asadhaider in "How long til we're all on Ozempic?"

I can answer this, I've been on Ozempic in the past and prescribed Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) currently (month 3).

I've had a medical cannabis prescription for many years and vaporise up to 3g a day which is quite a bit. It definitely interferes with my cravings for food, as you know the common 'munchies' effect, making me eat when I'm not really hungry or binge snacks.

I gave up on Semaglutide (Ozempic) after a few months, but Tirzepatide is working a lot more effectively and has been better.

Cannabis also helps a lot with the nausea side effect for me which can be particularly bad the first few days going up a dosage every month. It takes six months to titrate from the starter dose to full strength, if necessary.

Also the downside a lot of people don't talk about is that most people need to be on these drugs for life. They also aren't cheap.

We have one recently completed in the Shetland Islands, the SaxaVord Spaceport [0], which has been given approval to do up to 30 launches a year. The UK spaceport guide [2] has more details and a few more planned launch sites.

Shouldn't the watchtower docker config be configured to only monitor and update the lokal-server container and not every container on the host?

I wonder if those anti-surveilance glasses actually work which emit infrared light. Though they can probably fingerprint your gait/how you walk?

They converted a lot of telephone booths to kiosks which have free chargers built in and usually also free wifi, calls, and defibs.
