It's statistically more likely that women will be more peaceful than men, which is why my opinion is we need more women in high leadership positions. However, men are usually open to just plain murder people, so it's likely to never happen.

Just landed on a Wikipedia page with information that was obviously incorrect and followed the citation link which directed me to ChatGPT generated news garbage. Wikipedia has long been almost impossibly resilient, but LLMs are really reallllly going to strain this resource

Updated a ~10 year old application I started in pre #SpringBoot 1 from 2.7 to 3.2, and I have to say, it was flawless now that ActiveMQ has finally a Jakarta version out. Hat tip to the @SpringSecurity team, I find the "new" config nicer! github.com/michael-simo... cc @starbuxman
