Foddy’s most recent game, Baby Steps, is getting good reviews. I’ve not played it myself, but it’s a 3D game in the same genre; you’re a very unfit basement-dwelling 30-something who gets teleported (in your onesie) to the wilderness, and you’re trying to manage your balance as you make your way to a mountain.

There’s a non-obvious freeze function in the Task Manager - for as long as you hold the Ctrl key, it’ll stop updating the list. I have no idea why this functionality is hidden, but I guess Dave Plummer had some unusual ideas about UX.

If you don’t love getting dog shit on your newly washed car, you should have thought of that before living 2-3 counties away from a future Float-a-Poo owner, and you have only yourself to blame.

It’s Dutch with a few cute changes, I think. My Dutch is very weak, but I believe it’d be:

we [zijn] [heel] hard aan t werk om dit te [maken], [mischien] kan je beter [fietsen]

which gives a rough literal translation of something like:

we are very hard to the work for this to do, maybe can you better cycle

i.e. “we’re working hard to sort this out, but maybe it’d be better if you cycled”

Thanks. I really wrote “Castilian” to mean that sources on the web suggest his dialogue is at least somewhat modern Spanish Spanish (so to speak) – but I’m ignorant of the differences between Spanish spoken in the Americas, including North America as you rightly point out, and the Iberian peninsula. I didn’t mean to suggest that Castilian was archaic.

Thank you, that’s interesting to know!

I can’t find anything to really support the note about the faun speaking an early version of Spanish; do you have a link I could read/watch?

I’ve found people noting that Doug Jones is dubbed by the Spanish voice actor into Castilian (rather than any Central or South American dialect) and that his language is formal and somewhat archaic.

FYI, OnlyOffice is entirely Russian-owned, through a holding company in Singapore and a subsidiary in Latvia. I don’t know if money you give CryptPad ends up in Russian hands, but OnlyOffice put a lot of effort into obscuring this.

As I understand it, if any seller is using Amazon fulfillment centers, the product you’re given is picked out of the same box regardless of the named seller. That makes it impossible to buy confidently from Amazon based on the reputation of the seller, and makes Amazon themselves an unreputable seller.

I haven’t found a second angle of the same sign (though there are others with the same message), but I think it’s real.

I might be too dense for this - is it a joke about traumatic brain injuries? (I’m not being snide!)

Seems a little redundant when the article we’re all commenting on does precisely that.

“You fell for a phishing scam and hadn’t enabled two-factor authentication” is more likely, followed closely by “You used the same password for another service/platform that got compromised”.

Microsoft are being unhelpful here and deserve to be criticised, but the fault for the “hack” is almost certainly the responsibility of the user.

The chart suggests that some time late into the day before yesterday, they had about -0.3 husbands.

In this thread, mostly: “Yeah, I know the show was poorly written through several seasons, but I thought the ending would at least be satisfactory.”

I realize you’re joking, but the vehicles considered to be the first motor car and first motorcycle were both created in the same year, FYI - neither is a response to the other.

I don’t miss Reddit much, but I have such nostalgia for r/shittyreactiongifs before the moderators decided they couldn’t be bothered to moderate and permitted non-subversive posts. Some of the hardest I’ve ever laughed by myself.
