Can anyone tell me exactly what these laws do? Is it just going to ask for a birthday when I run `adduser`? What's the point? Is it meant for one admin account to restrict other user accounts?

From the guidelines:

What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

If the story was about a German national then yes, I would still say this is political and doesn't gratify my intellectual curiosity.

I'm still on Xmonad mainly because I've only tried hyprland and it couldn't handle the master/slave stack the way xmonad does. On River, when I create a new window will it be inserted above the current selected window even if the current window is the master?

Also, when it was split up what did he call his window manager? Looks like the River repo is just for his display server/compositor

I think they'll loosen that for Australia after this.

Surely you're not saying that young men in history were sleeping with prostitutes at the same rate young men today look at porn.

No one is going to take you seriously if your argument is the tired, long debunked, wage gap argument. Women make less than men because they choose to. In recent years when you compare single working men to single working women, women are out-earning men. They're graduating college at higher rates.

There are countless other statistics that paint a clear picture that men are struggling. At what point will you actually care?

Couldn't you put lineage on the zenfone?

I run lineage on mine. It's much better than the OS it came with.

I prefer sshfs for something like this. Then I can create files the regular way and edit files with my local neovim config.

I can make up my mind. They pushed insane ideologies. At the convention the other day not a single nominee said, "Maybe we shouldn't fund sex changes for illegal immigrant prisoners." In fact they supported it.
