    @clacke Good question. I only learned of #Adoptium because I was trying to install #Netbeans a year or so ago. Thus, I do not have an answer.

    (Both Netbeans and #jEdit found an older 8.x JRE and used that instead.)

    #GS5 is not quite 6 months old, but he's wearing 12M size clothing. I didn't offer him a choice of colors, so he got red with white and gray.

    And he does #Crunch_Labs, the β€œthink like an engineer” subscription for ages 8-12+.

    @geniusmusing @simsa04 Agreed, though it can also be quite freeing to suddenly shed some of the ancient archive.

    Illegal mining groups using #Starlink satellite communications.

    (Note: I'm not implying, and I don't think CNN is either, that the #SpaceX company has anything to do with the miners. It is more that the miners are using methods that most others have been slower to embrace.)

    I just saw this two weeks later.

    I welcome the #USDOJ lawsuit against the proposed JetBlue and Spirit merger.

    Airlines are anything but a free market, but we don't have to let it get any worse.

      Justice Dept. sues to block JetBlue-Spirit merger, citing consumer harm

      The challenge will argue that the $3.8 billion deal will be particularly harmful for price-sensitive consumers who have come to depend on Spirit’s low fares.

    If your instance has open registration, you might want to temporarily reconsider that ALONG WITH taking a close look at which remote posts are showing in the instance's public timelines.

    See the conversation at https://bae.st/objects/b2f916c7-8c8b-4e30-9ac0-011343217203 for a discussion of an apparent ongoing effort to crawl and index the Fediverse, then report illegal or questionable content to #USDOJ / #FBI. (I presume that instances based elsewhere might be reported to that nation's authorities.)

    There's also one or more bad actors who show up, post illegal or questionable content, then report the content to hosting companies, domain registrars, et cetera.

    • SoCal: Southern California
    Thanks to the recent weather, #MWD is relaxing its conservation requirements. https://nu.federati.net/url/289962 [www mwdh2o com]

    The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California had some tight restrictions on things like watering your garden ... depending on which community one lives in ... but is relaxing them in view of this year's wet Winter. (The thing is, the "member water agencies" don't have to relax requirements on their customers.)

    Still a big thing. Much of !SoCal has had tighter restrictions than the state as a whole, and whenever the state imposes new restrictions, it looks for X percent reduction in water use, and if your area is already doing things that other areas aren't, you're still required to cut use by X percent.

    I asked #GS3 (age 4 years) and #GS4 (almost 2years) what color they wanted their shirts. Neither has ever expressed a preference before.

    The older boy said he wants a blue shirt. The ypunger boy was very clear: red. To make sure I heard it, he repeated it twice. So I am in Walmart looking for t-shirts in their respective sizes and colors.

    #A1 is less communicative recently, like his dad. Together, their lack of response made the recent gifting process more difficult.

    That's on top of the bank switch. (Note: I think I figured out part of the bank's issue--they are smaller, so many services are provided through disinterested third party contracted services that have no incentive to meet consumer expectations nor any interest in putting forth any exyra effort.)

    Through it all, I have persevered, and my favorite ten year old will soon be enjoying his one-year #Crunch_Labs subscription.

    @clacke True, but I have also noticed many sites' "FAQ"s are merely Q&As with anticipated, rather than actual questions.

    For example, if $SITE has been around a few years, actual FAQs will change a little, especially if the site has had a couple of redesigns or rewrites.

    But if the site's FAQ answers anticipated questions, it tends to stay the same for several years at a time.

    This is a tangent, and is not meant to distract from your point, which is 100% valid.

      Deal for UBS to buy Credit Suisse sends shares tumbling
