I had no idea there was so much drama behind MS Office alternatives. I moved to Libre some time ago and although it is often buggy and frustrating, I know it well enough to make it do the job. It's also had a ribbon UI for some time, so I'm not sure what the press release is talking about there.

China has pretty good public transit. Although its cities have elevated highways and wide roads, they also seem to almost get a subway system automatically at a certain size (they apparently standardised one station design across the country, making construction simpler and faster, and have good geology for tunnels) and even smaller cities and towns have decent buses.
No way Nintendo took a hit to sales from prices + tariffs on purpose, not to mention spending legal fees, just so they'd get the money they would have got from being greedy assholes which they already were.
It only took a month before Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa foreshadowed tariff-linked price increases, a game industry news site closely monitoring Nintendo’s tariff moves reported. In May, Furukawa conceded that software wasn’t as impacted, but “hardware involves special factors such as tariffs,” which Nintendo must take into account, “while conducting careful and repeated deliberations when determining price.”
However, Furukawa said that the overall calculus for Nintendo weighed against increasing the Switch 2 price even more to cover tariffs, because seemingly Nintendo feared a higher price point would rob Switch 2 of sales and its games of exposure.
I'm going to be honest, what grated on me with the middle of Scrubs was the tone leaning too hard on wacky humour. I liked episodes that parodied that sort of thing, like My Life in Four Cameras or My Big Bird, that made a point of saying it wasn't supposed to be that kind of show....but then it'd go back to JD and Turk abusing their interns by making them play Space Invaders in the parking lot.
I'd argue even that's better than what we're getting now. If you're looking for a car and they're all in the most popular colour by default, then A. There's a good chance you're happy with it; B. You can change it later; but most importantly C. you already want a car. You've already bought into the product and are just quibbling about colour. This is seeing all the streetcars in LA being torn up, and a GM salesman is enthusiastically explaining how to get a driving license because it's what everyone's doing now they've ensured there is no choice.
[The initiative to create the social media platform W] (https://politiken.dk/nyhedsbreve/mine/nyhedsbrev_politiken_edition/art10698001/Danes-consumption-of-ADHD-medication-sets-new-record) is supported by an advisory board and former ministers and business representatives, primarily from Sweden.
Welp, that URL's borked.
As far as I know none of the EU member countries have their own Mastodon servers and most politicians at least here in Sweden seem to be using either X or (the technically minded “progressives”) Bluesky, while they complain about American Big Tech.
Ireland has Mastadon.ie, it's not official but it is at least a server there.
It's not just records from hospitals.
The company is encouraging users to connect their personal medical records and wellness apps, such as Apple Health, Peloton, MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, and Function, “to get more personalized, grounded responses to their questions.” It suggests connecting medical records so that ChatGPT can analyze lab results, visit summaries, and clinical history; MyFitnessPal and Weight Watchers for food guidance; Apple Health for health and fitness data, including “movement, sleep, and activity patterns”; and Function for insights into lab tests.
It's noted in the article.
When asked if ChatGPT Health is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gross said that “in the case of consumer products, HIPAA doesn’t apply in this setting — it applies toward clinical or professional healthcare settings.”
One of my favourites is Fortress (1992). This has an 38% rotten and a 40% popcorn meter rating on Rottentomatoes.
I'd like to take this moment to say I fucking love Fortress and I wish it had the bigger budget it lost when Arnold pulled out of the project.
It reminds me of the gameplay footage played on short videos to provide visual content while audio is playing, or games optimised for streamers to play and overreact to. They aren't games that are intended to be played and provide enjoyment that way, but as tools for others to turn into enjoyment from playing them, and then their audience gets that enjoyment from participation or simply watching.

When you grow up, you put away childish things...including the fear of being percieved as childish, for holding onto what gave you so much joy in your youth.
