MS lock-in in Windows is crazy.
It has just locked my personal computer because i have updated RAM. I don't even have Windows linked to the account.

Seems that just rewriting stuff in 'memory safe' Rust does not change anything when it comes to security.
They could rewrite it in COBOL and they would face the same issues.
That is why rewriting stuff just for the sake of rewriting it is so brain fucking dead ...

#OmniOS #Illumos crashing during the installation. Right after the Updating Boot Archive message.
Not memory issue - tested on two devices (on the same SSD).
Most likely an issue with `bootadm` not being able to properly format the SSD which had #FreeBSD on #ZFS installed before.

Cara Pils is a word for "face fucked drunk on a budget" in everyday Belgian
Cara was a word for 'face' in everyday Latin, very rare in ancient writings, but it took off in Romance languages like Spanish.
Cara became chiere in Old French, and via the Normans, it took on new meanings in English, going from 'facial expression' to 'happiness' and 'loud shout' – namely, cheer.

I think there is one thing missing in Interslavic: a deep hilariously funny pool of swear words, "rozumlivy vsěm slovianam bez učenia"(r)(tm). I will start with this one: kurwa + kurac = kurvac

The German word ‘Pferd’ and its Dutch cognate ‘paard’ are horses of mixed breed parentage.
Their common ancestor came from Latin ‘paraverēdus’ (substitute post-horse), a word composed of an Ancient Greek element and a Gaulish one.

The more I learn about psychopaths the more I think that the noun "mimic" (like in the context of modern movies and game media) explains their behaviour much much more than anything else.
Do not humanise the mimics. There is no humanity in them.

Interesting thoughts on sociopathy from Chase Hughes: cities are creating them. More and more we are just watching crime in the making and just filming it on our smartphone cameras, instead of trying to help. Empathy is dying.

Who's watching Witcher season 4? Am I the only one who's finding the actors play extremely dull, as well as the screen writing in general, full of really cheap cinema cliché (e.g. poor kids must always have their faces covered in soot etc).

Was reading a lot about psychopathy recently. And now the Douglas Adams quote comes to mind:
«Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job»
