"The measure is dependent on a variation to the policy treatment of earned income under the income test of welfare payments. It is proposed that income treatment for earned income include an option to annualise income rather than use the point of earnings calculation."
It was always about income averaging and they all knew it was. They were all actively lying about it to everyone the whole time.

Local girl failed the coding interview:
I don't think they've got a job for me anymore now that I got their repos deleted⁉️
Here is the entire iroha poem:
いろはにほへと
ちりぬるを
わかよたれそ
つねならむ
うゐのおくやま
けふこえて
あさきゆめみし
ゑひもせす
Japanese has moved on a bit since this was written a thousand years ago. Some characters like ゑ are now obsolete. Another character ん has since entered common use.
Professor Ryuichi Abe translates iroha to English thus:
Although its scent still lingers on
the form of a flower has scattered away
For whom will the glory
of this world remain unchanged?
Arriving today at the yonder side
of the deep mountains of evanescent existence
We shall never allow ourselves to drift away
intoxicated, in the world of shallow dreams.
I think this is a bit more poetic than the one about the zho buck.
Imagine that your language had a pangram—a sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet—without duplicates. Imagine that this pangram was also a poem, and that it's widely known.
For the sake of illustration, pretend that the English pangram
veldt jynx grimps waqf zho buck
is this poem [there are five red spelling wiggles in that line on my browser].
Imagine that this poem is so well known that even in far-flung cultural contexts, "v" signifies firstness, "e" signifies secondness, "l" signifies thirdness, and so on.
You start to find that the letters v, e, l, d, t, j, y get used to mark ordered lists. The names of the notes of the musical scale are given these letters, in this order. Your railway's tickets are labelled V, E, L, for first-, second-, and third-class.

I am in disbelief that the only argument I'm seeing mobilized against age verification laws (and their accompanying social media bans) is “It sucks for privacy!”, and not “why the fuck are we okay imposing a digital jail on every single child?”
Digital privacy matters and it's an important reason why these laws must be repealed at all costs, but let's also please humanize the issue here: social media bans for minors are just another massive chapter in the conservative's playbook to deprive any social class that's not ‘adult white males’ of their bodily and existential autonomy.
That same playbook has chapters we're already familiar with, including staples such as “let's force gay kids back into the closet”, “trans kids shouldn’t be able to decide anything for themselves”, “women shouldn't have a bank account”, and “abortion should be illegal”.
Linux has problems! I'm not denying that! It may not work for your needs! Some of those problems might hit you right in the accessibility needs, or in the "I have to work with people who use the most cursed software stacks imaginable" needs, or in any number of other ways.
But also? Linux *might* work for your needs, and writing it off entirely *may* be premature.
Perhaps more critically, encouraging other people to write it off reinforces monopolistic power structures.
