Oh 'shit, here come’s an 's.

The Start menu is C++/XAML, but the “recommended” section uses React Native for Windows. That still means a performance hit, but it’s got nothing to do with Electron.

Additional context on his Wikipedia page, for those as unaware as me.

I wish I lived in a climate where this was viable for more than three months of the year!

We’ve got a poll going in Discord. Peter Thiel was the frontrunner before the mods did a bot purge; now the American people seemingly want Hornet from Silksong.

Gil-galad was an elven-king;
Of him the harpers badly sing
For none can rightly say his name—
Jill misappropriates his fame

It looks from the head of the post like there was once a top pole.

Probably got damaged from someone sitting on it or climbing over. Or someone interpreting the “dispose of trash” sign too enthusiastically.

It’s Hamtramck, Wayne County, Michigan, USA, since the title is clickbaity. It’s just outside a city within Detroit, and the population is around 28,000, though it was historically more populous.

It’s has a lot of immigrants settle there from Yemen, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and south-east Asia since the town had a financial crisis in the mid-2000s stemming from factory closures. The council has typically had a Muslim majority in the past two decades.

Yeah, but it’s OpEx, so it’s just imaginary expenditure.

Ospreys.

Weak article, clickbait title, and not actually news since they’ve been breeding in the UK for 24 years (in Rutland and Cumbria), but still nice to see.

Literally never heard of it. Are you talking about Microsoft 365 Copilot, formerly known as Microsoft 365, formerly known as Office 365?

Bot’s not even literate. “With this being said” is the introduction to a contrary statement, like “on the other hand” or “despite this.” It’s not a declaration of “we have spoken; make it so.”

I once met a koala holding a little plaquard saying “Bear X-ing”

Do you live in a Richard Scarry book?

You can make the iOS keyboard narrower by holding the globe icon in the bottom-right and choosing which side you want it to group towards.

The third-party keyboard options in iOS really aren’t just theming; they behave completely differently. Check out TypeWise or SwiftKey.

A squat, maybe, or just a private place to spend time without getting rained on. I don’t know about Schwabach, but lots of places don’t have a good “third place” for young pole.

That article is a mess! Jumps all over the place. Might clean it up later.

When you install TikTok, it fabricates its own independent SoC within your phone. Sometimes you can tell because the case bulges slightly, but it depends on the model.

This isn’t strictly forbidden by Android and iOS APIs (yet), but there are limitations – this most notably affects the capacitors on the new SoC which degrade quickly and can make a faint clicking noise, hence the name “TikTok”.
