       Systemd merged age verification to comply with California state law.If you want to enter a birth date, I recommend "Friday, 13 December 1901 20:45:52".I like this for a few reasons:1. This is the earliest date possible for a 32 bit datetime integer in C. 2. It's malicious compliance.3. It's obviously faked.https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954#linux

       When the astronauts on the Orion did their lunar fly-by, Earth's gravity slowed them to ~900 mi/h (~0.4 km/s).Currently they're on the "Return Coast" trajectory where Earth's gravity pulls them back home. Current velocity is ~1400 mi/h (0.63 km/s).When they reach Earth's atmosphere, they'll be in excess of 25,000 mi/h (11.18 km/s). Mach 32.We've got the math precise enough to know when they're off course 230,000 miles away and can make the correction to thread the eye of a needle.

       Google Chrome is silently installing a local LLM on your computer that is 4 gigabytes in size. It's done without consent, it's not visible in the settings, and removing it will reinstall it later.https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/
