using LaTeX is easy, all you need to know is that when Donald Knuth failed the Mark of Mastery Exam and lost his ability to wield a keyblade, his heart manifested that power into a new person: Tela Type
Tela had the power to wield the Fountain Keypen, which was mightier than any Keyblade.
However when Tela's best friend Roxe was consumed by darkness (creating the nobody Xerox and the heartless Bell), Tela fell into despair and lost her heart too, creating the nobody LaTeX and the heartless Metafont.
You first meet Metafont in *Kingdom Hearts e-ε: ligature drop descender*, although they aren't that important.
LaTeX first appears in *Kingdom Hearts π-ε : hbox overfull*, although at that point they're called TeX.
They only become LaTeX in *Kingdom Hearts Literate:coded* where they merge with their digital replica in a simulation of TAOCP and discover the χ-macro that was hidden inside themselves by king Mickey.

Holy hell. This was inevitable.
Hackers, allegedly Chinese, got into the federally mandated surveillance backdoors of Verizon and AT&T's networks, snooping on everything.
The mandated backdoors were first required on phone systems in 1994 by the CALEA law, then controversially extended to broadband by the FCC in '04.
That's right folks. Broadband is so important that it must have backdoors for cops, but not important enough for the FCC to require consumer protections

Can the internet help here?
I read this article with great interest about professor Rebecca Roach's inability to find the woman who was Joseph Weizenbaum's secretary at MIT in the 1960s in the department of electrical engineering when he developed the pioneering AI chatbot, ELIZA.
The secretary played an important role, but after an extensive archive and records search, Roach still couldn't find her name.
I feel like this is an "internet, do you thing" problem.

Apparently, Matt is weaponizing a CVE without notifying WP Engine so they can fix the issue before making the CVE to the public, just to use it as an excuse to get people's sites that can get their sites hacked since it’s used on many WordPress sites.
No wonder Matt created that tweet asking for ACF alternatives, as he intended to weaponize this against WP Engine. Of course, this behavior can get him into more legal trouble.
This behavior is dangerous as if he does the same to another company that makes popular WordPress plugins, he can do the same.
Matt Mullenweg needs to go, NOW! He is destroying WordPress.
Not to mention, WP Engine can't push updates, since Matt banned their accounts.

Harris is playing along. And we won't realize until it's too late.
What do we do? I have literally no idea. But this is fucking nuts.

This is indefensible. Because of the electoral college this demographic does not need to be courted. This doesnt need to happen.
Anti-trust has been gutted over fifty years. It's the single cause of greedflation and cost of living problems.
The *one* genuinely good thing Biden did was appoint Khan to the FTC and try to build back antitrust.

Harris is going to boot Khan from the FTC to get the techno-libertarian vote. What in the actual fuck is going on here?
