It may stop them from voting depending on the requirements surrounding the birth certificate. The format of certain features or seals are not consistent across the US. Local laws in one place may require something which is not done in the place a person was born. My mother deals with that frequently and I had some issues with that previously. Even of she purchased a replacement birth certificate it would still follow the “wrong” format.
I have to use outlook for work. Frequently it will ask me to log in, then when I do so it gets stuck in a loop of logging me out as soon as I log in and asking me to try again. This happens until I clear my cookies. I have never had this happen with anyone besides Microsoft.
Also it prompts you when logging in to “sign in with all apps on the device”, which I definitely do not want. But this means when I sign in on something like power point or word (because I guess liscence keys aren’t adequate anymore?) it then signs me out of other apps which use a Microsoft account.
I no longer use windows for personal use, but I’m stuck with it for work
Thanks for the correction. I guess watching the appropriate MSC page would be a good way to check in on the status from time to time? Or the blog once it’s all done I guess.
How hard was it for your users to connect? Were the configuration troubles just on your end? I am going to try to setup a home server, but some of my friends might not be willing to join if it is too much work
I tried to look this up to see what its status was. It looks like 2.0 was out (or mostly out) in 2024. Element X talks about using some of the features discussed in one of the Matrix 2.0 blogs, but I dont see explicit version numbers listed anywhere. For example, that sliding sync you mentioned is listed as implemented in the Element X client
I’m a PhD student and several of my classmates use computing clusters in their work. These types of computers typically have a lot of CPUs, GPUs, or both. The types of simulations they do are essentially putting a bunch of atoms or molecules in a box and seeing what happens in order to get information which is impossible to obtain experimentally. Simulating beyond a few nanoseconds in a reasonable amount of time is extremely difficult and requires a lot of compute time. However, there are plenty of other uses.
The clusters we have would have dozens of these CPUs or GPUs and users would submit jobs to it which would run simultaneously. AMD CPUs have better performance than Intel and Nvidia GPUs have Cuda, which is incorporated into a lot of the software people use for these.
I’ve personally never used anything more than a desktop, though I might apply for some time soon because I’ve got some datasets where certain fits take up to two days each. I don’t want to sit around for a month waiting for these to finish
Being able to take multiple of the same class is also nice. One thing that was annoying in vermintide is if you’re playing with friends and two or more people want to play the same character (Bardin and Saltzpyre were common for us).
The developing news part does complicate things quite a bit. From what I have seen of the discussion, it’s not that they intend to counteract the bias (though perhaps they do and are just hiding behind other arguments), but that they believe there is sufficient reliable sources calling it a genocide and insufficient reputable sources to contest it in the lede (instead saving it for later in the article).
As you say, the Nazis would certainly have contested the relevant genocide claims, but that’s exactly why the editors of Wikipedia have placed less weight on government sources. Whether this bar of “sufficient reliable sources” is in the right place is a separate matter, but these matters are resolved through the RFCs they have. Wales’ statement came directly after such an RFC was held looking to reopen the conversation that was just closed, seemingly in disregard of it. If this statement had been made as part of that RFC, then it probably would have been received more positively.
Thanks for finding that, I’m at the airport so was being a bit lazy, though unless I’m looking at the wrong place it says 34 UN countries have recognized it as of 2025.
After briefly browsing the neutrality policy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view), it doesn’t look like stating it is a genocide is a problem except in the case there is no source or there assertion it is a genocide is “seriously contested”. So they can say “the ___ genocide [1]” and aren’t necessarily required to say “____ said ____”. What qualifies as a good source or a seriously contested claim would fall under one or more of the other policy pages I think.
I should also add that while the Gaza genocide page discusses the people who claim it isn’t a genocide, particular attention in the neutrality discussion was placed on the opening sentences of the article which call it a genocide. The first paragraph in an article faces greater scrutiny for compliance with policy because it’s the first thing read and people may not read further.
I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “international ruling”, but I’ll try to answer a couple of possibilities.
To quote one user from the rather lengthy thread I linked:
Unless you think we should deny the Armenian genocide, too, because only 30 or so countries have formally recognized it.
This would be one example of few nations recognizing a what is generally accepted as a genocide.
Perhaps you mean the UN specifically. Some bodies within the UN have called it a genocide, but the countries within the UN haven’t voted to declare it as such (to my knowledge). However, many argued that governments aren’t necessarily a good authority on this due to political conflicts of interest.
The ICJ has issued some warrants related to the genocide, but I don’t know if any of their language specifically called it a genocide.
I agree that Wikipedia should be neutral, but given the academic consensus and Wales’ conflicts of interest I think their neutral point of view policy is satisfied. To me it seems like an attempt to dress genocide denialism in the form of adhering to their “neutral point of view” policy, but this being my opinion is of course subjective.
EDIT: it does look like they discuss the opponents to calling it a genocide in the Political Discourse section of the wiki page
EDIT2: fixed some formatting in the quote, some of my text was accidentally included
Except less than a month before, Wikipedia concluded an RFC (request for comments) discussing this exact issue where 2/3 voted to call it a genocide. He could’ve argued for it here.
The argument primarily stemmed from governments which claimed it was not a genocide, which would also apply to other accepted genocides. He said that academics should not be considered above other sources for deciding to call it a genocide despite it being established policy on Wikipedia that academic sources are held above other sources. So basically going against well established policy which is applied to the rest of Wikipedia in direct conflict with the community consensus.
Wales also is a self described ally of Israel and has received monetary awards from them which presents a conflict of interest. If you’d like to read the whole exchange (or part of it) you can do so here. When people link to pages in the WP namespace (e.g. WP:NPOV) they are referencing established policy

I think they’re asking about the government’s refusal to use the money for SNAP they were given in case of a shutdown. I believe it would just be sitting in a bank account somewhere.
This does not answer your question at all, but your confusion reminded me of this, which you might find amusing
I think it’s more that one delivery is a drop in the bucket while achieving a constant stream of deliveries (e.g. the public puts enough pressure on their respective governments) could meaningfully address the problem
I have spoken with some of the people involved with this research previously. Beer foams aren’t really the focus here, more that it’s a complex system useful for developing the technique. Interfacial rheology and film drainage have a lot of applications. For example, this research could assist in the development of vaccine delivery methods (what should you coat the inside of your syringes with or what surfactants should you add to the vaccine to make it flow in a way that doesn’t damage the proteins or form bubbles). However, a lot of these vaccines may be difficult or expensive to prepare while beer is (relatively) cheap and readily available. Also, since the specific system doesn’t matter, why not have a little fun and use beer.
Soaps, detergents, firefighting foams, and paints might also benefit from this research.
Given the original surviving mars’ history, I’m guessing they’ll fuck everything up with an update 6 months from now and not give the opportunity to roll back. Then a few months later they’ll release a patch to fix only some of it
Sudoscience* it’s what sysadmins do
It seems this may be to cover up the bad news that Take Two/2K have changed their ToS to essentially allow all their games to be spyware. As the article says, it doesn’t look like the games have actually been updated yet, but that could just be coming
Also, even without updating the game files, it limits how you can use the game you purchased. You can be banned for using a VPN or playing he game on a VM and you risk being banned for using mods (it makes no allowance for mods in SP or private MP).
Theoden: this glass is half of what I’d hoped for
I would be similarly screwed if I lived where you did because I’m pretty sure mine is a “certificate of live birth” (separate from the unofficial document of the same name)
