I had a conversation with a colleague of mine about this. He believed that Musk's decision to merge xAI and SpaceX was truly because of the potential of datacenters in space. I was unable to convince him that the logistics of this would be a nightmare and that this was just a way to make the Twitter buyout SpaceX's problem.

… this is what the elites in Europe have come to… hedonism, lack of loyalty except to personal desires, no sense of responsibility to anything bigger than self-interest.

… The socialist mindset has made Europeans lazy and entitled. …

A new Linux vulnerability known as 'Looney Tunables' enables local attackers to gain root privileges by exploiting a buffer overflow weakness in the GNU C Library's ld.so dynamic loader.

It’s always memory management

Wouldn't it be better to have more specific tags like movies? e.g. "Sexual content", "Gore", "Death", "Violence" or for content that you truly want to avoid; "US Politics".

Better than coal or oil, it might even result in more R&D into reactor designs.

Every syntax highligher shows this and VSCode even has a special case for this, this is not a real issue.
