Because they only bring brownouts and blackouts, never whiteouts. 😂

I smell a crime thriller where a serial killer is a programmer and hid their actual child killing searches by masking them as programmer endorsed child killing kind.

I bet Nintendo wouldn't think twice to request books be burned if the yuzu source code is printed on them.

Sorry guys, I tried to find an article online that goes more into the historic aspects of the Hungry Ghosts Festival as celebrated here in Malaysia, but literally everything focuses on the now, since this is very much a living experience. I am adamant of posting something about it today regardless, since today's the peak of Ghost Month for those who celebrate it.

General articles on the hungry Ghost Festival:

Firefox has profiles AND container tabs for exactly this though.

"expired without issue" has a whole different meaning to historians/nobility/royalty:

explanation of the joke

expire: die
issue: children
and thus:
expire without issue: die childless

which is a problem with royalties since it means their line of succession ends.

Related to the Bunga Mas^1:

According to a Kedah source, the first time a bunga mas was sent, it was sent as a toy for a new-born Thai prince who was the grandson of Sultan of Kedah himself since his kin, a princess was married to the Thai king^1.

This then set the precedence of Malay Sultans being "required" one way or another to send Bunga Mas to Siam. The culmination of the meme is the Siamese invasion of Kedah in 1821^2 partly due to the Sultan ceasing sending bunga mas, making Kedah Sultanate, the progenitor of the practice, existn't for a time.

* This is a Malay expression meaning paying interests. The principal is the pokok (tree) and the interest is the bunga (blossoms).

If you use a phrase in a way nobody else uses, and asks people to read your mind for what you actually meant, then you already failed as a public facing communicator.

If they continue it meant they value tradition more than righting the wrongs. Remember that it's deep seated tradition that allowed the work culture to fester in the first place.

Not to mention all the chats would be bombarded.

Lastly I think Dan deserves a break.

My guess is that this is going to go the same way as McDonalds v everything with the letters M(a)c, and Starbucks v Sattar Buksh

they have more than enough money to keep the server running for decades. not to say you don't need to donate, but you don't need to impulse donate every time the big header appears.

They prevent any large wiki they hosted from closing because those have good SEO. They wanted the traffic for the ad revenue, even if all mods and writers got off the platform and replaced with shitty ones.

It really is the reddit migration before reddit migration.

Look up ReplayGain. It analyzes and then adds metadata about the peak gains of each file, to the file, without the need to re-encode anything. Foobar2k natively supports it. Hopefully Plex also has support for ReplayGain.
