I think most people form most of their worldview around the age of 12 to 14 years. I know I did, that is when I first learned about most of the issues I am still most passionate about nowadays. Anything I learned about earlier or later, I am more likely to change my mind about.
If you do not occasionally change your views on things even later in life based on new information, then you’re not doing very much thinking. Your thought is incomplete, we should have more than two sets of opinions.
AFAICT not really true for Austria (where I live), we get 5 weeks of vacation, yet I don’t hear very much about unions and am not myself a member of one
wait until you find out that if the same happens to Elon Musk, Elongate will be really drawn out

That “most people” part kinda reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/2501/
Couldn’t you just go to a store that sells musical instruments and try them out there? I don’t know enough about musical instruments to know the answer, but I am a hobbyist photographer and we can certainly do that with cameras.
I recommend “new comments”.
may I ask what your first language is?
Do you have this problem only with “strawberry” or also with “straw” alone? What about other words beginning with str-, like street or straight?
My first language doesn’t have syllable-initial st-, yet pronouncing any of these words is no problem for me at all in English.

It’s not really suitable for production use yet. I ran it in a VM a few days ago, got a BSoD within a few minutes just from doing completely normal things.
As the other comment said, the main usefulness is the fact that there is already a lot of Windows-only software out there and it’s useful to have a way to run all of it on a FOSS operating system, even if Wine is for one reason or another not an option.
While true that I am not from the US, I think it was clear from context what I actually meant.
This is a nontrivial legal question.
Of course there needs to be a way for government agents to enforce immigration laws (like all other laws) and also enter private places for that purpose. You don’t have an automatic right to tell them to piss off because you don’t like certain laws being enforced.
What kind of warrant or situation they need exactly, courts may already have decided, or will still decide. It’s obviously legal for government agents to enter homes with certain warrants, and sometimes without warrants; whether the exact thing the linked article is about will or will not be found constitutional, no one here can ELI5 to you with any certainty.
Not a new debate at all… https://xkcd.com/1914/ and the context for that was https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-suspends-verifying-accounts-giving-154625015.html
I agree that if “verification” is going to be a thing, it should only mean the person or organization is who they claim to be, not imply endorsement of any of their activities.

This is from 2021, why post this now…?
not what the article seems to be about?

The Internet depends on physical infrastructure like towers and cables, which can be shut off.
Satellite internet is the main way to access the Internet that cannot so easily be shut off because the infrastructure for that is in space, not the country’s borders. So this is why this news story exists for example: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2026/01/12/kill-switch-iran-shuts-down-starlink-internet-for-first-time/
That’s not what I asked. I asked about a comparison of both of them to PostgreSQL.
Current me and 14-year-old me would certainly agree that Linux (and free software generally) is awesome for example. :D
