Just tried reading some convoluted article about "minting" such and such a crypto and how wunderbar it is relative to this and that ... etc.
The article finished by saying it had been created with the "support" of AI.

The city of Zurich wants to help parents with questions about raising children: The city's mothers and fathers advice service sends out a newsletter every two months with tips for parents of children up to the age of five. The latest edition is also dedicated to “gender-sensitive education”. And that doesn't go down well with everyone.
As a newpaper (“NZZ”) reports, parents are advised, among other things, to avoid using the terms mother and father when talking about other families. There are neutral terms as alternatives. Instead of “Rachel’s mom,” it could be “Rachel’s parent” or “Rachel’s caregiver.” Children are also more neutral than boys or girls.
I'm ashamed for my country, Switzerland 
[Edit]
A minority seems to be demanding something here.
But I'm pretty sure it's not this minority of people who are uncertain about their gender who are demanding this. It's more the class of politicians who are 'so compatible' with everything and want to appear in the spotlight.

XY chromosome != XX chromosome. It's that simple.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

We've got that here in the US also.
A colleague of my SO sends out with her emails her pronouns, she wishes to be addressed.
Aside: I may be guilty of addressing her incorrectly, I haven't seen, only heard of her pronouns.
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Germany here... yes. It is  
Most of the people I know neither support it.
I always say the same, in the nature there are only 3 genders. Male, Female and Hermaphrodite (!= Transsexual).
All other things are sexual orientations.
Everyone can have fun (or not have anything) with whoever / whatever they want. I do respect them, as long they don't come with that bullsh1t.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Be very thankful if it is only the gender confused PC idjits that you have. Oz has a plague of them!
Aboriginals - now want to be called First Nations (they are neither first or a nation)
LBGT??? - are agravating for changes to anything gender related.
PC Justice system - apparently youth criminals should all be given another chance or more.
Our pollies are absolutely idjits who cave to the latest fashion, currently Aboriginal influence and the PC fools.
Aahhh will you NOT press that button - damn.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity -

Another proxy for someone's personal issues. Like kids' beauty pageants. Hockey parents.

I don't see what's the big deal about an advisory that it inspired a rant.

More than just an advisory in some environments.
It's politically correct insanity.

The previous update(s) may have failed ... it will now try to apply then, ad infinitum.

I think too if you have any of the Office dev tools that target 2003, it might still get updated. I do see this for newer Office versions.

No, there were none the last time I did updates -- a month or two ago.

I miss Office 2003. That's probably the version I used for the longest time, even though (through work) I've had access to every version of Office under the sun.
T'was the last version before the UI became an abomination, and it only got progressively worse.

Using win32 without resources because I don't even want to try to get GCC to embed and even then I'd still have to use VS code to generate RC files and figure all that out. No. Just, no.
And I have to use GCC because it's an Arduino port to PC for prototyping, and all the Arduino toolchains use GCC.
So I've been building my windows using CreateWindowExW(). Joy. 
And a lot of the User32.dll API just assumes you'll be using resources. It's actually a bit of a black art to forgo them.
This is rough stuff.

I remember having to do that a long time ago. Win32 API's are so much fun 😉

It has been a long time since I've played with that aspect, but I believe the only resources in my DWinLib 6 Windows Wrapper examples are the main icon and the icons for toolbars and such. Not using toolbars gets rid of one. I'm not certain about the main icon, though. Maybe if you NULL the one of the CreateWindowExW parameters it defaults to default, and that would get rid of that resource. Like I said, it has been a long time. Such a long time, in fact that I don't think it compiled on GCC originally because it didn't handle true Unicode programs (or something), but that may have changed.
