I feel like they've had this for a while but maybe the specific situation is different. I might also be getting confused with Tapas.

Years ago I was reading "Extreme Dog Owner" while it was being released and was blocked out of latest episodes. So when the artist stopped the series it took a while before I realized the last few episodes would never get unlocked for me. Sounds like the same situation? Minus the huge piracy warnings.

Luckily I had a friend who bought it already then just read on their device.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!

iirc, there were some statements from companies (Microsoft?) that we won't have to worry about AI's effect on climate change because it'll also come up with the solutions

Finally watched "Nope". Loved it. I love horror but usually prefer supernatural stuff, so slept on this one a good long while, but man, great character writing, excellent story telling. I see why so many people recommended it

I love cucumber, my wife hates it and I thought she was weird. Now I'm wondering if I'm the weird one. Think we should get a poll started

Ah, they're digging their own graves!

Saw this like three times before I realized. Am dumb

I always thought couscous was it's own grain and was confused by your statement so I had to look it up.

TIL couscous is made from wheat flout, semolina specifically, and is technically a pasta.

That said, the title of the map does say it's comparing staple foods, not grains. Makes perfect sense to do IMO.

Maybe a hot take, but I liked The Pope's Exorcist, hit all the right classic-supernatural-horror buttons for me. Didn't know about this newer movie but now I wanna watch it

Almost had one of those multi hour rounds of interviews and assessments while looking for a better job. I'm well qualified in my field and already had a few options when this particular company reached out. I agreed to an interview and they sent me multiple insanely long forms which already had my radar going.

Then I log into the virtual interview and there's multiple applicants. Weird again. Interviewer says we need to wait for other applicants, takes more than half an hour... Waste of my time but I had set aside an hour in my schedule for this, annoying but acceptable. THEN the interviewer says to be ready for this to take up to 4 hours and that we will be doing live, digital assessments. I logged out without saying anything.

The company reached out to me later saying I was a top candidate based on my CV and wanted me to do the full interview on another day. I should have been up front and told them their process was fucking insane but instead I just told them I was no longer interested in the position.

Bad times tend to pass. I find myself forgetting in the moment sometimes and yeah, life is frequently enjoyable in lots of different ways, so I try to remember that.

You joke, but in Malaysia, they do have a car named after the local word for mouse deers, kancil (the "c" is pronounced as a "ch"). I learned to drive in one of those.looks like this

I feel like QAnon keeps upping the ante on the term "unhinged"

 

I can't stop laughing but I also have no friends who read Stormlight to share this with 😭

 

Complete Linux noob so apologies if anything I say or ask about sounds dumb.

I want to start making the switch to Linux and I've got most things figured out I think. I plan on putting either Mint or Fedora on my old Surface Go gen 1 because it's not critical for my work and potentially losing some functionality there won't cause huge issues, but my main use of it right now is taking notes on Onenote that I can then view and edit from my other devices as well.

Looking into Onenote and alternatives on Linux, I keep running into comments about the lack of handwriting support or no straightforward answers about stylus support. Anything Lemmy recommends I try? Also, any advice on running Linux on the Surface Go in general is welcome. Found some resources already but doesn't seem like people do this often.
