A Scandinavian father of two in his late fifties.

Understands Scandinavian, English, German, Japanese, linux and french (in descending order of facility.)

I am increasing annoyed by my dificulties in reading Japanese, and wow to train more. (It's all those kanji, you see!)

My avatar is from Nichijou, a charcter and a situation that I feel fits me to a R.

@theplaguedoc Giants are very, very Macho.

Which means a fuck is going to at most 40 seconds.

I suggest you just wait it out.

@NullNowhere On an entirely unrelated note "Cave" in Latin translates to "Beware" in English.

@NullNowhere Speaking of fermentable tubers; there is such a thing as banana beer. Made from banana corm (tubers, sort of).

So Cave Banana Beer?

@NullNowhere Wheat apparantly does quite well in hydroponics, and at least here in Scadinavia hops is a rather new thing, first appearing in the 6th century, and only dominating from the 14th century onwards.

Beer with hops hold up to tramsportation much better.

So dwarves must have been drinking wheat beer with bog myrtle or alewort as bittering agents all this time.

Microsoft released copilot in Excel, and it is officially caught up with Google on the AI race.

Fantastic to watch.

@irfan I'm afraid that to the Americans this is indeed some "Brown, Black, or Yellow people" country.

The population majority is overwhelmingly Inuit.

We Danes have not been nice colonial overlords, like who has, but the Greenlanders know how the Inuit in Alaska are being treated and would rather do completely without colonial overlords, than swap us for Americans.

@kimby Yeah, well, they'll be paying someone to fix it.

It was a very frustrating experience.

No graphical interface came up and all online describtions of what to starts by suggesting going into the start menu.

They even describe how to do that: It's down there in the corner go click on that.

And I'm like: "Nice, now where are the logs, you bastards?"

So my nephews computer goes into some kind of recovery screen. (Windows11)
And as the nearest person who "knows computer" I am asked to try to do "something".
What with his autism "run arch" is unfortunately not a useful something.

But I'm at my wits end and ...

Help?

How do you get a Windows command prompt to tell you what the hell is wrong?​​

@irfan You must be joking.

Obviously the languages used in the kernel must be the absolute best a the job.

And that's Haskell!
