Guess what happens if you don't specify a `vmImage` in Azure CI.

It picks one that Azure no longer supports, so the build fails immediately.

I hope my neighbours realise this buzzing isn’t a vibrator, I’m just really hairy!

Also, who blasts Rammstein while masturbating? Certainly not me!

I mean obviously metal has always been good (currently listening to 'Roots') but there is just so much more variety and it is so much more easily accessible today!

Thinking about Goodhart's Law and how it relates to dog breeding (especially for show / aesthetics)

Pretty fucked up stuff.

So apparently I have a split kneecap (not fractured, born this way), which is the probable reason for it hurting while #running. I envision lots of physio therapy with an uncertain outcome :-(

Interestingly enough, this didn't affect my running for the past 10 years or so, but as the doctor said the stress has been adding up and it became a problem at some point.

Here's an opportunity to write some FOSS graphics history, everyone: "VGC Illustration" presents a technologically novel - and having tried it I will say *artistically superior* - approach to illustrative vector graphics. It's developed by a 1 (soon 2) person team that has serious industry and technical research credentials (Pixar, Siggraph) while at the same time being fervent open source lovers and actually developing their research as FOSS since years. Boris (the lead dev) has now fully dedicated his life mission to making VGC Illustration (and soon Animation) a sustainable open source business, and all he's asking for is pretty much peanuts considering the magnitude and scope this could soon have. If the kickstarter (which started only an hour ago and is already 10% funded!) does not work out, VGC is probably dead, so I think this is a lifetime opportunity for us to give support to establish a new powerful player and unique technological cornerstone in FOSS graphics. To conclude: Please, for the love of FOSS, throw money at this! :)

Is there a way to stop MS Teams from trying to upsell me the "Linux app" every time I use the website? If there was an actual Linux app I would try it, but there isn't, and it doesn't seem to remember me saying no yesterday, or every day before.
