   About 80% of the factors that determine how long you live are in your control a new report says.

   The entertaining part of this is there is a segment of society which wants to make excuses for themselves and others as to why they can't/don't/won't be successful/in control:

   "The claim, however, has been described as simplistic and said to neglect wider arguments about whether people are genuinely in control of individual choices when it comes to issues including poverty, pollution and healthcare access. "

   I'll be the first to admit I can be pretty darn lazy when it comes to my health. While I don't smoke, drink, or run to Manchester, NH to fuck 'street walkers' (prostitutes) every other weekend I also don't exercise or eat healthy.

   Or that is to say I haven't been great in those areas.

   It's not someone else's fault though. As I get older it's something that I was aware I'd eventually have to confront head on. I am 'pre-disposed' to diabetes given my family history and frankly a few bad habits.

   However I'm waiting for it to become a real issue. Hell no, I've begun figuring out how to drastically change my diet and survive, and figured out how to exercise without it being "too much".

   Did it take a few visits to a doctors office? Sure. I didn't get it right the first 3-4 times... but with a bit of effort and some questions and clearer understanding of what steps I can take I've begun to see major changes.

   It doesn't take quick fixes or miracle cures you see on TV.

   No, more often, than not it just takes a bit of effort, a relocation, and not over-indulging.

   If you think I have it good you'd be right, but it's cause I relocated from NJ to NH where cost of living makes sense relative to income and taxes are "low".

   I have had people tell me cybersecurity is essentially being taken out of Connect (yearly goal reviews), which was Microsoft's big commitment to Congress as part of Secure Future Initiative.

   Brad Smith testified to US Congress everybody had to demonstrate what they'd done for security - but it's been watered down now to the point where it basically doesn't exist any more, I'm told. MS haven't told public about the changes.

   It's one to watch, to see if things start to backslide at MS w/ cyber.

   The stability promises of #Debian stable are that packages will only receive fixes for security or major breakages, and not major changes.

   It is not a firehose of new upstream versions, but a trickle of small fixes.

   So on the #MNTReform not much different from any other Debian stable system.

   That said, I have decades of experience with Debian, so not sure I am the best advocate for someone less familiar!

   I did create my own custom barebones image, for example...

   <q> does a few things:

   It localizes the marks, it will use the marks that fit the `lang` set on a parent element. Add `lang="fr"` to see how the appearance of <q> changes.

   It automatically makes quotation marks "curly" instead of straight. Your article appears to have curly quotes in the text but my guess is something did that formatting for you, you didn't use an arcane key combination to type open quote, close quote characters. <q> uses pseudo-elements to add the right characters.

   Because the curly quote characters aren't a part of the text, they don't get mangled by encoding mismatches (e.g. Unicode vs. Latin-1).

   In languages that use them, it automatically alternates between double quote (") and single quote (') marks for nested quotations; outermost is double, next quote in is single, then inside that is double, and so on.

   Many good apps on Android just doesn't work properly anymore as I use Termux as a prime example and it's now a shell thanks to OS changes.

   It's why sometimes I do miss older versions.

   I introduced a change to Soapbox that made use of API already introduced to Pleroma by lain 3 years ago. Alex did want to accept my changes.

   It doesn’t break compatibility. Several fediverse projects like Hubzilla, Friendica or Smithereen behave in a similar way and no one complained about it
