A "cron dog" however, is when you use cron to schedule a dog command, which is an updated version of the cat command installed via the moreutils package that provides additional features such as colorized output and line numbering, making it more versatile.
Starbucks does not directly support the RNC. But that doesn't mean that Starbucks' lobbying money doesn't primarily support Republicans. Per the PDF you linked, the majority of Starbucks' contributions to lobbying organizations went to those that donate at least 75% of their lobbying to Republicans.
From your link:
National Restaurant Association: 75% of all donations to Republicans; 50% of Starbucks' donations to this organization went to lobbyingBusiness Roundtable: "75 percent of donations from the median chief executive were directed to Republicans"; 40% of Starbucks' donations to this organization went to lobbying
Edit: Added the word "lobbying" before "money" in the first paragraph. Should have been in the original.
My understanding is that EU regulators had an issue because Windows Defender rolled out kernel mode/kernel data protection, which gave Microsoft a de-facto monopoly in that market segment if no one else was allowed to use the same technology in their products.
Microsoft complaining that the Crowdstrike incident was the EU's fault is an argument in favor of a Microsoft monopoly, which the EU has been pretty consistently against, and EU opposition to this should not have been a surprise to Microsoft.
I'm not saying this is what the backup batteries on my modem and in my rack are specifically for, but it would definitely prevent downtime from a Droney McTinFoil von Transformer scenario
So the libertarian solution to eliminate taxes is essentially GoFundMe, where the burden of support for those in need falls only on those who possess both empathy and the financial means to engage in philanthropy?
I think the reaction depends on how aware one is of how one's flow state works. Neurotypical people seem to be able to get back into it much easier than us ADHD types, but I think that's often because our flow states tend to be deeper, so it's much more annoying to be knocked out of it for seemingly trivial reasons by people who don't know how hard it is to get back into that state after an interruption.
In my opinion, this is (mostly) a "training issue". If I know this is how my brain works, it's my job to train those around me on how to help me be as efficient as possible, even if it's something as simple as "if my headphones are on, do not interrupt me unless something is ON FIRE, OR if I have been working for more than 3 hours without a break."
If either of those things are true, it's also my job to not be annoyed by the interruption, which is of course often harder than the interruption itself.
Check out Valetudo. It turns supported robo vacuums into local only devices. Works amazingly well and integrates with Home Assistant for the whole tech nerd cloudless smart home experience.
"Fun" fact: Those two things are connected! Without the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine by Reagan's FCC in 1987, the group called Citizens United would likely not have been able to form in 1988, as they would have been required to provide opposing viewpoints when they expressed their terrible views on national tv or radio networks.
Additional fun fact: Rush Limbaugh's nationally syndicated radio show (which began in 1988) also would not have been possible without the repeal of the fairness doctrine.
Yes, it was pretty quiet, but I feel the quality was always pretty good, even from the beginning.
