If you can't understand which one it is from the original comment, I guess you are lucky to not know about the unhinged violence and abuses of Macron's government.

Most of the world has become the dumbshits emulating Trumpism. Source: am French citizen..

I've seen many people with 500s for over an hour, meanwhile the status page was green with no issues whatsoever. Have they tried using a fraction of their immense budget to run E2E tests?

At this point downdetector is more reliable than any of these "status" pages. And it does show reports starting 9:30ish AM EST.

You're right! I brought BPPV was just all benign cases of vertigo regardless of origin but the article does mention tiny crystals, good catch!

Tidal is the last streaming service I use, split between that and a jellyfin+arrs setup coupled with buying music from artists directly.

Fuck Spotify and their rotten leadership. Was amongst the early adopters (2009). I'm sure they won't care for the loss, and I won't miss th when they're gone.

That earring story, as some commenters pointed out, is an alternate version of Greg Egan's short story "learning to be me", now easily found in one of his short story compilations. If you haven't yet read Axiomatic as well as Luminous, I highly recommend both.

People's shortening attention span. Must retain.

Explanation still required, therefore statement must concisely outline product. Feature retains attention.

Simple outtro. Attention retained.

It is not a bug, it is a feature.

Powershell is a great scripting language, but when you want to massively delete stuff I strongly suggest you use "robocopy /MIR" with an empty folder as source to be "mirrored". Much faster, better multithreaded performance, decent logging. It will save you a ton of time if we're talking about large and/or numerous files.

I'll vouch for this. I have a USB drive set up with Ventoy, which has the ability to install its TPM certs when booting from USB. It has a couple Linux ISOs and one Win11. It also has a Ventoy config tying that ISO to an autounattended XML built from that exact site.

The result is an install with no copilot/cortana/widgets, a win defender that can be disabled, no auto updates at all, a local account only, no taskbar shenanigans, properly configured explorer, some registry tweaks, runtimes pre-installed, extra drivers if needed, and QoL settings tweaked how I want them.

The OS installs itself in a few minutes with no intervention after the disk/partitioning stuff which I kept manual. It ends up being faster than the Ubuntu and CachyOs installs from the same drive. Then 2mins with massgrave post install if I haven't provided a key already.

When it is set up that way, Windows is decently fast and stable. And I have some control over it, at least whenever I need to enforce something.

TP-link routers. Entirely unsurprising.

Like traces of a younger Internet, where placeholders didn't have to matter and being uptight about this stuff was considered annoying by many colleagues.

It also feels like it could be reused across a bunch of languages and words. Supposedly noreply.com is up for sale, for the mere price of a very small studio in your expensive city of choice.

I'm sure other cases would net some results. By extensions (noreply.co.uk), words (useless.com sells clothes, ignoreme.com is apparently a Japanese static site) or even languages (nepasutiliser.fr) or across languages (deleted.fr is up for grabs..).
