@fedithom @NetscapeNavigator I mean, I'd not use it or advise anyone else to.

I'm just not confident in the facts cited in the piece OP linked. Not because I think MS is too good to pull that kind of stuff, though

@NetscapeNavigator

I don't have a dog in this race (longtime Linux user, and I've given up being a tech journo) but this report felt off to me.

WindowsCentral did a bit of extra source chasing and reckons it's overblown to say the least

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #RobinHood - archers, arrows, outlaws, forests, stealing from the rich to give to the poor, and evocations of these things...

Here's a relavent wordplay from the latest Ulver album.

Ulver - Quivers in the Marrow

I've a partner who's from the US, and they grabbed some, I suspect to see how I reacted.

Honestly, it wasn't unpleasant or anything, but the texture really didn't lend itself to chocolate.

@anon_opin stares in Levantine

To be fair, left to your own devices, you people have thus far put chocolate, pumpkin, and crème fraiche in it, so "let's serve it hot" sounds abput right as the next front in culinary misappropriation

@DarkestKale ah, occupying the traditional behind-keyboard feline storage space

Next Bandcamp Friday is this upcoming Friday - March 6. I've been grabbing a thing or two since the last one in because I couldn't wait for a few things.. But I do love giving artists all the money, and I'll be grabbing at least a thing or two on Friday. Have plans to grab anything of your own?

@tautology I'm really looking forward to it!

They recently introduced a 10€ train ticket to Paris, so gigs are a bit more viable, assuming I don't mind sleeping in a bunk at a hostel.

I'll be at their concert in Paris (Elysee Montmartre) this Thursday (4 March) if anyone else will be there and wants to meet up!

Dois-je connaître quelqu’un en France / l'UE qui vend des drapeaux LGBT et trans ?

@FiXato @fesshole US grammatical style per Strunk and White.

And yeah, it makes me twitch, too.

Divided by a common language, indeed.

Besoin d'un correcteur pour un livre d'informatique en français. Contrat freelance, payant.

Je travaille actuellement sur des mises à jour pour l’édition française d'un livre d'informatique.

Cependant, malgré que je suis expert avec les ordinateurs et matériaux concernés, je manque l'élégance, la fluidité et le raffinement du vocabulaire qu’un vrai francophone.

Donc, nous avons besoin de qqn pour attraper mes erreurs.

Tu dois parler et écrire le français au niveau natif.

Nous utilisons le français de France en forme informelle (tutoiement partout).

Tu peux être de et habiter dans presque n'importe quel pays (limitée seulement par des bancaires du Royaume-Uni).

Idéalement, tu vas avoir une bonne connaissance de l'anglais, de Linux et des ordinateurs, mais ces dernières compétences ne sont pas essentielles.

Tu peux me contacter ici. Nous pouvons discuter plus des détails par la messagerie, par Signal, ou par mail.

Pas de transphobes, pas de racistes, pas de fachos svp.
💋 bisous 💋

Normalize wearing a respirator for your allergies! Don’t let the conformists who are scared of masks bully you into suffering through sore throats and runny noses and sinus inflammation and excessive mucus production.

Normalize using air purifiers to scrub allergens from the air! Don’t let the conformists who are persnickety about a subtle breeze emanating from a machine bully you into suffering with itchy eyes and spicy sneezes and more mucus production.

@DarkestKale I hate this phenomenon with a passion.

Few albums are as cold, clinical, nihilistic, and dark as Gran Turismo, while still carrying such a massive emotional punch.

OH: "So what are you in for? Testosterone too hard?"

@Cal well, both frequently involve black leather and wailing...

I've discovered a new DSBM/romantic black metal outfit based in Czechia and consisting of members Draugveil and Selvnatt and was very taken by their album and its little lyrical and musical nods in various directions.
