It is xkcd but my link was elsewhere with some details. It does credit xkcd.

How about Leigh Bardugo. The Six of Crows duology is very good.

And of course the Earthsea books by Ursula K Le Guin.

It was 27 October 1954, a typically crisp autumn day in Tuscany. The mighty Fiorentina club was playing against its local rival Pistoiese.

Ten-thousand fans were watching in the concrete bowl of the Stadio Artemi Franchi. But just after half-time the stadium fell eerily silent - then a roar went up from the crowd. The spectators were no longer watching the match, but were looking up at the sky, fingers pointing. The players stopped playing, the ball rolled to a stand-still.

Play was suspended because spectators saw something in the sky, according to the referee's match report.

The incident at the stadium cannot simply be interpreted as mass hysteria - there were numerous UFO sightings in many towns across Tuscany that day and over the days that followed. According to some eyewitness accounts a ray of white light was seen in the sky coming from Prato, north of Florence.

It is a fact that at the same time the UFOs were seen over Florence there was a strange, sticky substance falling from above. In English we call this 'angel hair'.

I bought a cheap Durgod Hades with the intention of sticking the QMK/VIA firmware on it.

First issue was getting it into the bootloader - the instructions didn't seem to be working, so I was trying different connection points and implements until it finally kicked into life. In doing that I suspect I may have killed the STM32... but I'm not sure.

Using dfu-util I've tried :unprotect:force and :mass-erase:force to try and recover it, and also downloaded STM32Cube to see if I have more luck with that.

dfu-util, no matter what I do, hangs at the erase point 0%. Eventually it times out with an error.

STM32Cube connects to the keyboard but complains it's in read-only or reset held. If I try again with the suggested Read Unprotect option it says I need to power off and power on the device, and the cycle continues.

So I think I've somehow bust it, is there anything else I can try before admitting defeat and getting another one?

Her advice to anyone planning to travel to the US is simply not to go. “First, because of the danger of what could happen to you. And, secondly, do you really want to give your money to this country right now?”

Being overly fake nice because you want a tip. Tbh I'd be more inclined to tip you if you left me alone and stopped talking to me.

The whole tipping thing in USA is weird. Everyone wants a tip, it's entirely random (as a non-American) how much tip to give. Just pay your staff a wage they can actually live on ffs.

Reminds me of the guy who bought the last ever Big Mac in Iceland, and put it on display and it didn't go mouldy.

Don't know how true that is but it's a good story!

The system seems to be;

  • Add adverts
  • Make them more intrusive
  • Add more adverts
  • Make them even more intrusive
  • Everybody is fed up with adverts because there are now more adverts than content, so introduce paid version which costs more than the company would earn on ad impressions even for a heavy user, to remove ads
  • Next step might be to add some ads to paid version?
