"... make sure the meat is cooked to at least ≥165° F (≥74° C) to avoid risking brain worms.”

No idea what meat temperature has to do with staying away from Twitter and YouTube, but okay.

It’s 2024, and paid plugins still have trivial SQL injection vulnerabilities like it’s 2004.

I hope that by 2034 PHP developers will learn how to use prepared statements and sanitize SQL inputs.

The dental care plan being rolled out in today is means tested, not universal, limited in scope, being rolled out at a glacial pace, with claims processed by insurance giant Sun Life, and Service Canada only being involved in dealing with Sun Life's inevitable screw ups.

Yet, the is crowing about it like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Of course it's bullshit based on "carbon credits" which are pure and utter greenwashing, analogous to medieval indulgences. I'm growing more proud to be European every day. EU may be slower and not "tuned for maximum performance" like China or US but they see through many a bullcrap.
