Another MS Linux https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner

What if it was as easy for Wine devs to implement a Windows layer, as for MS devs to implement a Linux layer. Almost as if they like cooperation and knowledge sharing when it's profitable, and prefer "competition" and knowledge hoarding when that's more profitable.

Times that Roaring River burnt down:
1714 (by Russians)
1848 (by a firestorm)
1888 (by fire in a building, spread by extreme weather conditions)
The dangers of building with wood and existing techniques I guess.
After that they planted rows of birches as protection.
It hasn't burned down in a while now.

To my surprise, Roaring River is one of few cities in this country with digital radio broadcasts. Not many stations though. Maybe I'll look for an FM+DAB chungus on Blocket.

Today I learned that the country is called The Gambia in English, with a definite article.
How did I miss that for this long.
Maybe because my native language doesn't have such articles, or anglos write it wrong, or both.

Gimme your POSIX complaints and I’ll turn those frowns upside down.

I’m writing a UNIX system for fun, Open/UX will be a perfect blend of A/UX and GNU Herd, GPL Licensed and utilising a micro kernel design; but using a early MacOS/GEM-esque interface as standard.

Fire ‘em at me, I’ll read through them in the morning.

Attachments:

• A pose feels more natural if the whole leg is aligned in the foot's direction. The side-to-side rotation of the ankle joint is limited, and it is not often rotated alone. (Examples of poses where the the foot and the knee are pointed in different directions, which I find uncomfortable to do IRL, versus poses where they are aligned, which have a more solid foundation.)

What is it with "modern web apps" that even a menu of links can be broken and not work!!!???

And don't even start asking me what browser am I using. It's an effing LINK! You don't need a tiered browser support policy for a @^#% LINK to work on a #&%^ WEB!

I had way more payment defaults on crowd invested real estate or companies than on stocks during Covid.

(Also, the gains were much higher with stocks - I am not even sure yet if I will reach break-even with my crowd investments (On both - crowdlending and crowdfunding).)

Wow, this is pretty neat. It is a platform for workers to organize their workplace with a focus of keeping bosses out. They go as far as saying that management joining Frank is a violation of labor law and they'll persue penalties.

Nostalgic for Events That Haven't Happened Yet

https://www.termsofservice.social/p/nostalgic-for-events-that-havent

Let’s just be content we experiencing our lives and not documenting them.

I can say I've fallen into this trap of obsessive documentation of my life headfirst and it hasn't been helpful for me whatsoever.
