I'm a sucker for characters like this. Awkward, adorable absolute nerds trying their hardest to live their very best life, like Luca. I love him.

I watched Elio last night, and realised I was going to like the title character the instant the film started and we see him hiding under the table in the cafeteria. Also, Glordon is cuteโ€ฆ at least for an alien that looks like a slug with rows and rows of huge teeth.

I meant to get Kelsey out and about a bit for Halloween, or at least able to answer the door to trick-or-treaters, but nope, I'm just too exhausted and grumpy to do anything useful today. My dad apparently gave sweets to three kids in Halloween costumes who turned up at the door with their parents, so at least something happened. Weather's pretty horrible though.

Happened way too many times

Apparently it was my own fault for me to have a foreign name.

When I was a kid, I could just walk outside. There were no cameras, there was no smartphone betraying my every move, there was nothing but me, the breeze, and the quiet of the countryside as I walked.
Most of us will never know how that feels ever again. To be truly outside the reach of the constant surveillance state we now live in. I feel so bad for the people that will never experience real privacy, those who will never be able to truly "get away from it all". But we're already past that point for the majority of people, at least in the U.S., and increasingly in other countries.

I was lamenting about this very thing to my wife last night. There is nowhere to go to really escape for a while. I wander around our yard and garden sometimes to distract myself, but itโ€™s really only temporary.

I will not be able to unsee this the next time I see someone with a maned wolf character.

Someone in another server has just pointed out that the whole 'AI' browser thing is yet another attempt to circumvent protection against bots and theft of IPR.

Site administrators might consider ensuring that browsers with the appropriate fingerprints are sent an HTTP 451 code and not permitted to proceed, to indicate that the site refuses to be complicit in the crime.

Have any of you ever flown commercially in #latex ? I have been tempted, but have concerns re: overheating or setting off someone's allergy

I know that https://www.instagram.com/tight_connection/ does so frequently. Getting a custom catsuit for where you are flying? So neat

It's nice when Microsoft has a huge huge HUGE outage and the only way it impacts me is that I can't play some minecraft when I decide to take a break. Looks like you can't even start the game to play in single-player when Azure's broken. Lovely.

(Maybe disconnecting the machine from the internet would let me start it in offline mode, but I have a whole bunch of SSH sessions open that I don't want to breakโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคท)

When it's quiet

I can hear him

The monster in my head.

Quietly

inside of me

as I lie awake in bed.

"Let me out, let me outโ€

It's all he's ever said.

I fear for what will happen

on the day I wake up dead.

โ€“ My brother's a spirit, and if it wasn't for him, Iโ€ฆ I wouldn't be here.

โ€“ You have a brother up there? What happened to him?

โ€“ He was killed by a bโ€” by a monster.

โ€“ What's your brother's name?

โ€“ Sitka.

โ€“ Thanks, Sitka. If it weren't for you, I would have never met Kenai. I always wanted a brother.

Me too, Koda. Me tooโ€ฆ


โ€“ I have a story to tell you.

โ€“ Really? What's it about?

โ€“ Well, it's kind of about a manโ€ฆ and kind of about a bear. But mostly, it's about a monster.

For some reason my brain is today fixated on the Futurama news monster saying that everyone's "titty much protally fit-shased".

Windows 10 has now reached its official end of life and will not be updated further.

It still does not work properly, but the lack of updates does at least mean it will now remain broken in a consistent way with no prospect of another update breaking yet more of Windows.

Fox mastodon (AP)

Yus, Windows 10 will keep on working just like any other older OS versions. Use a nice anti-virus [1], a decent firewall [2], a "no you cannot do this and/or that"- software [3] and do not visit websites you don't want your mother to know about. (yes, there are many more factors)

But broken? What is broken exactly? I am using my w10 install since forever and this machine is literally always on, up to 100 days at the time. It's working properly! Not an attack btw, just curious. :)

EDITS because it is super busy at work x3

@fox The whole list is quite long, but I can start with it cannot schedule for nuts. It's memory management sucks. Random boot failures that occur after the software has control of it. Its inability to schedule I/O so that the whole GUI does not hang because one device is not responding. Far too much runs in supervisor mode for no reason. Its ability to just forget it is on a network, while using that network. The deliberate breaking of agreed standards to try to force it to only interact with other versions of Windows. The Spyware, particularly when it brings down part of the OS. They way it just moves devices around at random. It determination not to process some interrupts. The need to constantly re-run sfc to get it back into a state where it will boot. It rewriting configuration files to be what it wants, not what the host machine needs. That's before I get into all the mindless and idiotic things it has done atw the user level.
@Fox
Fox mastodon (AP)
That's quite a bit! I have no knowledge of many of the stuff, but the boot issues - are you sure that's not a sneaky hardware issue?
TundraWolf mastodon (AP)
@fox Absolutely. Reproduced on 50+ machines from a mix of suppliers.

Ooooh. So after I let it do one final update, that'll be it? I'll be free of having to have a calendar entry on my phone at all times to remind me when my laptop's current "update pause" is coming to an end and that I need to schedule a time to shut everything down to allow it to do updates and reboots before I put it on hold again and move the phone calendar entry another 6 weeks into the future and repeat the whole process againโ€ฆ Phew!

TundraWolf mastodon (AP)
I'm personally quite happy with one stable release every two years, and
am of the opinion that trying to release more will mean we'll have to
rename the distro from "stable" to "wobbly".
