There’s no such thing as an “old version” for an in-kernel driver. As the kernel is maintained, polished, and updated, all drivers are maintained as well. Proprietary blobs otoh, will break quickly, and have to constantly keep up with new k

If the driver is in the kernel tree, then the Linux community maintains the driver for you for free basically (if a refactor of some internal kernel API is done, all drivers are updated), but once the driver is old enough, new kernel releas

I think perhaps automatic translators might help mitigate some of this. Even perhaps training a separate new neural network to translate from Python/Java/etc to your new language.

The U.S. Supreme Court has never struck down a constitutional amendment, that is true. But in other common law countries, like India, whose legal system is very similar to the U.S., have had cases where the Supreme Court struck down a const

The scotus would need to strike down the 22nd amendment. Even with as horribly morally bankrupt of a scotus as we have now, I don’t think they’d sink to the low of striking down the 22nd.

It might be better to say “Republicans” instead of “Americans” as you do. Americans are a deeply divided group of people: one-third republicans, one-third democrats, and one-third apathetic. The one-third of Americans who are republicans

I wouldn’t mind an indoor farm, if they come up with some system to control the smell. I don’t think there should be any restriction on what people can build. You could have a rule on bad smell, that applies to equally to everyone, so a far

I’m not Peter, but you can renew your re-entry permits forever, in 1-year increments. You can even have them delivered to the U.S. consulate abroad. It’s a hassle since they only give you 1-year renewals after a certain period of time (with

Isn’t housing extremely unaffordable in the UK though? That erases a lot of these benefits, doesn’t it? (I’m aware this is true of a lot of HCOL areas in the U.S. as well.)
