At least Bob Barker had the decency to get as close to 100 as possible without going over.

My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

Ukraine aid is dropped from government funding bill. That raises questions about future US support

Edit to add: This is a sad justification to be involved in ending human life, regardless of merit.
It's especially peanuts when you consider that the VA won't have to take care of the veterans either. In the long-term, that's where most of the funding actually goes after you put boots on the ground.
Edit to add:
The costs of caring for post-9/11 war vets will reach between $2.2 and $2.5 trillion by 2050 — most of which has not yet been paid.

That is roughly 1/3 of the total estimated past/future costs of the wars.

Holy moly!
“If we don’t have Spotify working properly across Play services and core services, people will not buy Android phones,” Harrison testified.
Google: Sorry, other devs! You just aren't as important as Spotify!

The scientific, peer-reviewed answer is that it is significantly under-diagnosed in adults as well as in those AFAB of all ages. Most sources say up to 80% of adults with ADHD are undiagnosed and/or untreated.

That feeling when you're googling the answer to some technical question, and your own Lemmy post appears 4 results down.
So you know those buttons at the top of Google search results?
Images, News, Videos, etc?
You'll never guess what new button they're testing out now.

That isn't the purpose of the new API. Apps can already prevent screenshots by using FLAG_SECURE.
The purpose is to move away from the resource- and privacy-invasive ways that apps implement screenshot detection today, such as through monitoring the directory in which screenshots are saved. The new functionality will require a permission and will no longer require the apps to have access to the screenshots themselves.
