Linking outside of their website would reduce engagement, thus ad revenue. I’d put money on this is why so many news sites rarely link out anymore.
This is called “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish”. Microsoft coined the term internally for their responses to open standards in the 90’s and 00’s.

The team I was on at work number of years ago had to hash this exact thing out because we had a “biweekly” status and was confusing people. We ultimately landed on not using the term.
Bimonthly and biannually have the same problem.
There are two definitions, according to the major dictionaries I can view (OED requires a subscription):
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/biweekly https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/biweekly https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/biweekly https://www.dictionary.com/browse/biweekly
So, the usage of biweekly as a synonym for semi-weekly is sufficiently high enough to land it in the dictionary, alongside a definition of every-two-weeks, and make biweekly an ambiguous and confusing term.
Correct. In the US, these practices are commonly not paid by employers.
The requirement should be that any time an employer makes a demand of an employee’s time, they pay.
FA waiting on your plane to arrive that’s 6 hours late? Pay up.
15 Apple store employees lined up and waiting to get searched by a single manager after a shift? Pay up.
Require an employee to respond to phone calls or issues after hours? That’s not “after hours”, that’s hours. Pay up.
Make an employee commute to an office for a job that can be accomplished from home? Believe it or not, pay the hell up.
Making demands of a person’s time for a job is part of the job. They should be compensated for it.
tl;dr: elevated ozone. Article doesn’t directly state why ozone is elevated, but talks about climate change increasing ozone, insinuating it’s the reason in this case.
Misread, but I’m leaving it!
“May you live in interesting times.”
Yup. FCC abandoning the Fairness Doctrine under Reagan is what brought us sensationalism in broadcast news. Instead, it should have been expanded to cover anything using the term like “news” and “current events”, similar to other protected terminology like “professional engineer”. Cable news never being covered by FD was also ridiculous.

Apple locks old devices out of updates
Dropping support for older platforms happens for a number of reasons, including hardware-level security problems and lack of interest for ongoing maintenance. Linux distributions even drop support for older hardware. Even the Linux kernel itself has dropped support. A decision to not keep supporting a piece of hardware is not the same as preventing updates.
The thing to focus on isn’t that Apple halts maintaining its own OSes on older hardware. Rather, we should press hardware makers and regulators on the boot loader locks and other obstacles that prevent end users from installing alternate OSes, especially once hardware makers end OS support for hardware. E.g., older iPads that can’t run modern iPadOS but could easily run a lightweight Linux distribution. This applies to more than just Apple, like some Android devices. “Internet of Things” devices are similarly affected – Belkin halted support for a generation of Wemo smart plugs when a vulnerability came out – they told consumers to buy new Wemos and provided no alternate path for the older, still functional plugs.
When has being ineffective ever disqualified someone from Congress?
… I started writing this reply to be funny, then I realized it’s basically true, then I got sad.
Did this ever get better than the initial reviews? It seemed mediocre-to-bad. Steam still calls recent reviews “mixed”.
Lots of discussion here of Zed being macOS-only. Multiplatform support is being tracked in this issue for Linux, Windows, and web:
It looks like the png is getting word wrapped. Line spacing is so large that the png on the second line is getting pushed into the space of the icon below, and the icon below is given a higher Z value, so it goes over it. The different font has a different letter width and can influence the line spacing by being taller than the original font.
See if you can find an option to reduce line spacing or an option to increase icon spacing (vertical or horizontal). I would expect these to be advanced settings though. Iirc, most Linux desktops don’t use ellipses on long names, like some other operating systems (macOS iirc).
