Background On April 16, 2025, Apple released a patch for a bug in CoreAudio which they said was “Actively exploited in the wild.” This flew under the radar a bit.
what i'm discovering about twitter now is there are a bunch of internal "community notes" sock puppet accounts with auto-generated names that they use to game the fact checking.
it's kind of like free speech but with a sophisticated, multi-layered suppression and shadow banning and fact checking system built in so that yea you can say mostly whatever you want, but they'll swiftly send it into a black hole to whatever extent they deem necessary
the community notes might also be AI, not entirely sure. something definitely not right under the hood over there

Singapore’s compliance landscape is strict but manageable with the right approach. By treating ACRA and IRAS obligations as a unified process, you can minimize risks and streamline filings.
In Singapore, businesses must navigate the regulations of ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) and IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore). ACRA oversees corporate governance and filings, while IRAS manages tax obligations. Though distinct, their processes are interconnected — what you file with ACRA directly affects your IRAS submissions.
Aligning these obligations is critical for seamless compliance and avoiding penalties.
Breaking Down ACRA and IRAS Roles
Here’s what each authority covers:
ACRA requires:
Annual Returns
Updates to company details (directors, shareholders, share capital)
Financial statements, often in XBRL format
IRAS handles:
Corporate income tax filings (Form C or C-S)
Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI)
Goods and Services Tax (GST), if applicable
These tasks may seem separate, but IRAS cross-references ACRA filings to validate tax submissions. Inconsistencies, such as mismatched financials, can trigger audits, fines, or delays. Consistency is key.
The Compliance Workflow
After your financial year ends, here’s the process:
Prepare financial statements: These form the foundation for both ACRA and IRAS filings.
File ECI with IRAS: Due within three months of your financial year-end.
Submit Annual Return to ACRA: Due within seven months of your financial year-end.
File Form C or C-S with IRAS: Due by 30 November for a financial year ending 31 December.
Your financial data — revenue, expenses, profits — must align across all submissions. Errors or delays in ACRA filings can disrupt IRAS processing, leading to compliance issues.
Common Compliance Pitfalls
Many businesses, especially smaller ones, face challenges due to the complexity of compliance. Common errors include:
Missing ECI deadlines: Failing to file within three months can lead to penalties or lost tax instalment options.
Late or inaccurate ACRA filings: Incorrect Annual Returns can trigger fines and affect IRAS assessments.
Inconsistent financials: Mismatched figures between ACRA and IRAS can prompt audits.
Misunderstanding exemptions: Exempt or dormant companies still have filing obligations, even without audits.
Proactive planning helps avoid these mistakes.
How Company Secretarial Services Make a Difference
This is where company secretarial services come in. A corporate secretary ensures your ACRA filings are accurate, timely, and aligned with IRAS requirements. Their responsibilities include:
Jan–Mar: Finalize financials and file ECI by 31 March.
Apr–Jun: Prepare audited or unaudited financial statements.
Jul: Submit Annual Return to ACRA by 31 July.
Aug–Nov: File Form C or C-S with IRAS by 30 November.
Each step is interconnected, so staying on schedule is essential.
Final Thoughts
Singapore’s compliance landscape is strict but manageable with the right approach. By treating ACRA and IRAS obligations as a unified process, you can minimize risks and streamline filings. Corporate secretarial services like those from Entrust ensure accuracy and consistency, allowing you to focus on your business.
Corporate secretarial services are an integral part of business management and compliance, particularly in the context of corporate secretarial services in Singapore.

Cole Schmidtknecht, 22, had insurance but couldn’t afford to refill his asthma inhaler after the cost jumped from $70 to more than $500 at his pharmacy.
Stories like this are why my blood boils any time someone suggests that something being legal means it's a-okay.
And why I hope there are other Player 2's out there in the world keeping watch over the health insurance and pharma price gougers, because we know definitively that the Republicans and Democrats aren't going to do a goddamn thing.
And this bullshit is particularly galling:
In a motion to dismiss the Schmidkneckt’s lawsuit, Optum Rx expressed “its deepest sympathies” for Cole’s death
Walgreens also offered its deepest sympathies and cited privacy
It wasn’t Albuterol he wasn’t able to get, it was fluticasone/Advair Diskus.
No doubt it’s also cheaper on Amazon if that is even feasible in that mess. But I don’t blame the victim for not going to Amazon when his provider fucked him.
@Hobbes_Dent OK, well fluticasone inhaler you can get for $21.95 for a pack of five inhalers from Amazon, Advair if you want the disk as opposed to an inhaler, IS expensive but not $500, $375 current listed price, but you can get the same drug in the same form discus package for $71 if you're willing to go with generic. I've used the latter and it's worked fine for me.

"Context was the idea of a government banning meat" says the original post.
I agree that you can't possibly be fully informed on every part of everything you buy or consume, there's too much info and for a lot of it you need a good understanding of biology, science and food science to even grasp what some ingredients are for and how they work.
I am not against the governments telling people the dangers of certain foods (such as increased cardiovascular issues with overconsumption of red meat, or risk of stroke due to smoking) but as long as the consumer is informed of such, it should be up to them - not up to the government banning something like meat
And I'm against the abuse animals suffer and the whole meat industry, by the way. I hate what happens to the animals, but thats a whole other can of worms...
I feel those examples are less about eating the meat (well, aside from all the issues that come with eating humans) and more about preventing them becoming meat in the first place - but yes, with everything theres nuance and outliers, but as a general I'd say that if people know what they're eating and know the risks, and what they do doesn't pose risk to others then let them eat whatever it is they're eating...
The photos perfectly elaborate, though... They didn't really get screwed, someone uploaded "animated child sexual abuse photos." Which is not only illegal but against the TOS of Patreon. From the photos shared it looks like this isn't the first time it's happened, either, and Patreon clearly doesn't want anything to do with it.
Not really sure how this equates to them "being screwed." They're responsible for what people upload to their host (they clearly understand that) which is why public uploads like this without restriction aren't a great idea.
Yeah, it really comes back to the idea of if a file hosting service is responsible for what the user uploads, which is an argument that has been going on since the beginning of the internet. Ultimately, yes, I think they are. I think you have to actively moderate what is uploaded, but on top of that, there has to be swifter and stricter punishment for those that do upload things that are against TOS and/or illegal. If someone is uploading CSAM, then law enforcement needs to go after them. Maybe they'll actually do something people appreciate, instead of killing minorities.
Edit: If you are downvoting me without giving a reason, I just have to assume you are Libertarian, and that's being generous.
You're being downvoted because your assertion that hosts are responsible for what users upload is generally false.

It's mini ITX, with 3 potential finishes: a jade green, a silver, and a matte black, which is the one they sent me.
It comes with Intel 13th or 14th gen CPUs, up to an i9 14900, it can accommodate 2 M.2 SSDs and 2 SATA 3 drives, up to 24 terabytes in total. It can come with or without dedicated graphics, which can go up to a Radeon RX 7700XT, or an Nvidia RTX 4070. It can also get up to 96 gigs of DDR5 RAM, and it obviously has wifi and bluetooth, and it comes with Linux preinstalled, Tuxedo OS being the default.
The model Tuxedo sent me has an i7 13700, 1TB of PCIe 3 SSD, 32 gigs of RAM, and the RX 7700XT with 12 gigs of VRAM.

Bazzite
So, Bazzite is a weird one: it's based on Fedora Atomic, so it's an "immutable" distro, and it's built using universal blue, which is a build system that lets you create tailored distro images for plenty of purposes.
I ran all the games at the native resolution of my monitor, so 3440x1440. Horizon is run using the latest version of Proton from Valve, the rest are native Linux games. Everything was ran at their max settings, at the native resolution, without any resolution scaling. Everything ran under Wayland, with all the latest updates applied.
So, For Horizon Zero Dawn, running the benchmark gave me an average of 80 FPS at these maxed out settings. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 105 FPS on average in the benchmark, and for Total War Warhammer 3 on the battle benchmark, it reached 56.4 FPS and 52.5 FPS on the campaign benchmark.
Nobara
Next is Nobara. This isn't an immutable distribution, it's Fedora, plus a lot of kernel patches, addons, drivers and tools focused specifically on gaming and on improving performance
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 106 FPS on average in the benchmark. In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, I got 57 FPS on average, and 54.7 FPS on average for the campaign benchmark. In Horizon Zero Dawn, Nobara got 80 FPS on average.
HoloISO
I also gave a shot to HoloISO, in its new immutable form, but it never managed to give me a bootable system, no matter how hard I tried.
Chimera OS
Chimera OS is an arch based distribution, it's an atomic distro, so immutable, and includes a bunch of emulation tools as well as optimizations for gaming. It defaults to GNOME as its desktop, compared to KDE for the other distros I tested.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 102 FPS on average in the benchmark, similar to other distros I tested. In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, I got 55.3 FPS on average, and 51.1 FPS on average for the campaign benchmark. In Horizon Zero Dawn, Chimera OS got 73 FPS on average, strangely lower than other distributions.
Tuxedo OS
Just for fun, I decided to also run all of these games on the preinstalled Tuxedo OS, to see if these gaming distros offer improved performance compared to a "normal" system. Here are the results.
In Horizon Zero Dawn, at the max resolution and max settings, with any upscaling, The Atlas S running Tuxedo OS got 81 FPS on average.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, at the max settings and resolution, Ubuntu 24.04 reached 106 FPS on average.
In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, at the max settings and resolution, I got 57 FPS on average, and in the campaign benchmark, it reached 54.9 FPS
