From the specs:

  Compatible cartridges  
  HP 63 and HP 63 XL (US)
  HP 302 and HP 302 XL (Europe)
  HP 803 and HP 803 XL (Asia)
So they just use HP inkjet technology. That makes it less open-source, but even "open source" parts are going to be under non-commercial license (CC BY-NC-SA) anyway.

Yes, he was an idiot, but that doesn't contradict that he was smart. In his own words, from The Dilbert Principle book:

"People are idiots.

Including me. Everyone is an idiot, not just the people with low SAT scores. The only differences among us is that we're idiots about different things at different times. No matter how smart you are, you spend much of your day being an idiot. That's the central premise of this scholarly work. I proudly include myself in the idiot category. Idiocy in the modern age isn't an all-encompassing, twenty-four-hour situation for most people. It's a condition that everybody slips into many times a day. Life is just too complicated to be smart all the time."

The Checkerboard 7 months ago

The initial idea was to first sell 50% of the land and then sell the other 50%. [1] Thanks to corner crossing, the checkerboard pattern made sure that owners of the first batch wouldn't be cut off from their access by buyers of the second batch.

[1] From TFA: "This checkerboard pattern allowed the government to keep all the undeveloped sections in between and wait for them to go up in value before turning around and selling them to developers".

The requirement to list social accounts has been present since 2018, and the FAQ [1] says: Visa applicants who have never used social media will not be refused on the basis of failing to provide a social media identifier, and the form does allow the applicant to respond with "None."

https://ie.usembassy.gov gives 504 so I can't check the primary source, but it seems like the new part is a requirement to make accounts public and applies only to F, M, and J student and exchange visas.

Who decided to add the A to it too?

First, DEI became DEIA under Biden, see the executive order [1] (now worryingly removed from the site). That had some logic as a mission creep which is always welcomed by the bureaucrats.

Second, when the Trump decided to dismantle DEI, keeping "DEIA" didn't make sense, and surgically removing DEI from DEIA is not his style. So it was removed altogether, and the bureaucrats cared more about going with pendulum swing more than caring about any unintended effects, so anything associated with DEI was removed without any care about accessibility.

Interesting, but the simpler way is to use plain html with microformats [1], so this:

  @book{kn:gnus,
  AUTHOR = "Donald E. Knudson",
  TITLE = "1966 World Gnus Almanac",
  PUBLISHER = {Permafrost Press},
  ADDRESS = {Novosibirsk} }
becomes this:
  <div class="book" id="kn:gnus">
   <div class="author">Donald E. Knudson</div>
   <div class="title">1966 World Gnus Almanac</div>
   <div class="publisher">Permafrost Press</div>
   <div class="address">Novosibirsk</div>
  </div>

It's all in the article, the "offensive" communication examples you describe fall into author's definition of defensive communication categories, which he names "Control", "Strategy" etc.

Head of Microsoft Russia was Olga Dergunova.

As for "nobody will go back" - agree in general, but at least Anton Nossik did go back.
