Fuck *Rump and fuck M*sk.

There are former friends, and members of my family, I no longer have any contact with because they believe and try to spread the racist propaganda that *Rump spewed at President #Ramaphosa during that WH "meeting".

As for the 60+ "refugees"... As far as I'm concerned, #SouthAfrica is better off without them.

So you say you like #Minecraft , and maybe even a #MinecraftMovie ?

If you have yet to hear #WindRose 's #dwarfcore song "Diggy diggy hole" in either its metal rock or its symphonic rock version, feast your ears (and your sides) on this epic symphonic rendition played by the #WMGSO , featuring Wind Rose lead vocalist Francisco Cavalieri:

My family and I appreciate how seriously this music is played, and how silly the lyrics. "I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole!"

Sooo bug in "new"Outlook? I have it set to not load external images, because loading those could show spammers that I've read their emails.

My anti-malware solution just blocked a bunch of image URLs when I opened a message. It seems Outlook still fetches the images, but just doesn't display them.

Modded #Minecraft player plays almost vanilla, "Vanilla-ish" even.

I started a forever world because I want to play with the latest stuff, so I decided this is going to be a forever world.

It's also my chill world where I go to escape pressures, so this series is not going to see very frequent uploads.

OK, OK. So there is actually a fix on the FA Discord server, called Fresh Fix.zip, in the fa-extensions-releases channel.

I'm not a regular Discord user, so it took me a while to figure out how to find it.

#GrumpyOldMan moment.

#Minecraft 1.21.5 was released over a month ago.

The #FreshAnimations resource pack is really cool and popular, but still only available for Minecraft versions up to 1.21.4, it breaks some of the models in 1.21.5 (like cows) horribly.

So I did a bit of digging... There is apparently a version for 1.21.5, but only "early-access" behind a paywall. More than a month later?

Just say so if you only make the pack free for older versions of MC and we'll know to look elsewhere.

I know people like to make fun of niche operating systems, but for the five years I was at Microsoft I used Windows (10 then 11) as my daily driver. It’s much less stable than a professional OS, but it does kind-of work. I wouldn’t say it’s ready for the desktop. The UI is inconsistent and changes randomly between releases, a load of common software is basically useable only in a VM, it lags and freezes periodically (unlike an OS designed for interactive use, random drivers run a load of things directly in interrupt handlers, so you get latency spikes that you wouldn’t see in a more mainstream desktop OS) and the update process can hose the system, so it’s mostly of interest to people who like tinkering with their machines than people who actually want to get work done. Oh and a load of random bits of the OS have ads, but that’s what you get from a free ad-supported system instead of one developed by an active open-source community.

I don’t think I’d recommend anyone use it as their daily driver or in a work setting, but it’s not totally unusable. It’s not at the level of maturity than you’d expect from, say, Linux or FreeBSD, especially not for client workloads. If you do have to use it, I recommend that you install FreeBSD in a Hyper-V VM for real work. That’s what I did and it works quite well.

Something's gotta give.

Either OS user interfaces like Windows have to make it easier to change where notification boxes pop up, or stuff like online banking systems need to stop putting important buttons at the bottom-right of the interface.
