    DAVIES: Detective Wharton is now retired, and he traded in his badge for a Bible. Now, the Reverend Wharton says he and the entire system made a mistake. He says he's forever haunted by his role in putting an innocent man on death row, a man he says should be exonerated.

    Even the detective think that isn't what happened.

    Not so sure it's so clear and cut.

    In 2002, Roberson's 2-year-old daughter Nikki was sick with a fever of 104.5. The little girl was born with chronic health problems that were never fully diagnosed. She would frequently stop breathing and turn blue. Over the course of a week, Roberson took the toddler to both the ER and her pediatrician, who prescribed codeine and another powerful drug. Both are respiratory suppressants that medical experts say are no longer prescribed for children.

    And in the early morning of January 31, Nikki stopped breathing again.

    ...the hospital did a CAT scan of little Nikki and found a swollen, bleeding brain believed at the time to be a classic sign of shaken baby syndrome. But now, medical experts point out that pneumonia and starving the brain of oxygen can create those symptoms, and Nikki had both. Source

    Seems pretty clear what happened. They didn't investigate shit, and just assumed this discredited theory of SBS was the cause because the father is not neurotypical.

    Seems more like Left 4 Dead or Deep Rock Galactic (without the mining)

    But some of the frames seem like they have inspiration from Lethal Company... the setting (and Remedy's humor) would definitely make it work if there's more inspiration we don't see yet.

    It probably helps that WebKit was forked from KDE's Konqueror/KHTML and that Blink was a fork of WebKit.

    Compared to Gecko, I'm sure they behave the same as far as webdevs were concerned - hindering it's adoption - webdevs don't want to support esoteric engines for obvious reasons.

    Aside from the other comment, just a heads up that Python switched to yearly releases

    3.13 was released Oct 24, 3.12 was released Oct 23, so Oct 25 makes sense for 3.14

    Maybe someday they'll switch to calendar versioning ;p

    I did actually, and it worked, though they may have changed it by now.

    Think I have a screenshot somewhere...

    Edit: they've definitely altered the way it works. I'm sure there's a way to get around whatever guardrails they added with enough creativity, unless they've completely rebuilt the model and removed any programming training data.

    I haven't seen it yet either, but this article seems to explain it.

    It's sort of like Don't Look Up - plus the whole terrible timing of him destroying purchasing Twitter, and people couldn't help but make a connection.

    Mere possession of child pornography should not be a crime at all. To prosecute people for possessing something published, no matter what it may be, is a big threat to human rights. – stallman.org, 5 June 2017 “Possession of child porn”

    I'll honestly be surprised if he doesn't end up being revealed to be in possession of CSAM.

    Not just problematic, but consequential too:

    Richard Stallman has also embarked upon a decades-long political project to normalize sexual violence. Under his ideological leadership, the free software movement is unsafe, particularly for women. Women represent just 3% of the free software community,2 compared to 23% of industry programmers generally.3 This is no accident. There is a pervasive culture of sexism and a stark lack of accountability in free software, and it begins with Stallman’s unchallenged and reprehensible behavior.

    --BTW this article looks like an ad for Jason Schreier's new book about this topic, that releases soon and is mentioned as the last sentence in the article with a single link that spans across 4 lines.--

    He's had a few other articles written, but given the detail and research, I think he can be forgiven. It's not like he's trying to sell something that doesn't live up to what the book is about.

    This is not the first time Trump has been accused of politicizing the military for his personal gain. He’s allegedly called dead soldiers “suckers and losers,” insulted the late John McCain for being a prisoner of war and recently stoked controversy for saying civilian Medal of Freedom recipients are much better than those who received the Medal of Honor — the highest military award in the country, often given posthumously.

    The move followed a decision last year that the Biden administration had overstepped its authority by trying to forgive more than $400 billion in student loans.

    Trump was questioned immediately on his rhetoric about race during a tense appearance at a Black journalists’ conference, where the audience at times gasped and scoffed at his remarks. Edit: Added long form archive link since the short link was giving me issues.
