It’s called xenophobia, the fear and dislike of anything foreign. Some people believe that if your group isn’t dominant it will be dominated, and peaceful coexistence isn’t possible between different groups.

These people are afraid that, if the English language isn’t forced onto other people, one day other people will force a foreign language onto them.

Yes, also a running gag in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

They hired a gay actor specifically so they could shoot this one scene.

Kowai yo…

Either that, or every company has woefully underpaid/incompetent IT people

It’s this one. Cox Communications, one of the largest telecommunications companies in the US with $11 billion in revenue, recently patched a bug on their self-serve portal that allowed anyone to access any customer’s profile. The bug was that server requests weren’t being authenticated. If you entered the right info into the URL bar you’d be given a page with anyone’s customer info. No login needed.

Chess player Andrea Botez started an onlyfans page where she posted videos of herself being mated.

It’s like I’m looking at the man in the mirror

It’s probably one of the more fair ways for people to get paid for sex work. I’ve read stories of porn actresses making $5,000 a month through big name studios switching to OnlyFans and making $30,000 a month.

I’d say even in general it’s better for people who create content to sell directly to consumers instead of working for a corporation.

I can think of a reason!

A bagel (Yiddish: בײגל, romanized: beygl; Polish: bajgiel; also spelled beigel)[1] is a bread roll originating in the Jewish communities of Poland.

Worst one is probably Apple. They just announced “Apple Intelligence” which is just ChatGTP whose largest shareholder is Microsoft. Figure that one out.

en passant is an abomination. In this house we play pre-1561 chess.

Relevant Tom Scott video about how sound is mixed and why it makes movie dialogue “quiet” and advertising “loud”

I made one called “crash_bandicoot.exe” that opened the windows calculator in an infinite loop.

Not an expert, but here’s my understanding:

A beam of white light contains many wavelengths. If it hits something that bends the light it causes the different wavelengths to bend at different angles. The light ends up coming out as a rainbow with each wavelength being bent to a different degree. Not all of these colours might hit your eye.

If you have a whole bunch of prisms in the air, they all separate and scatter different colours of light in different directions. The red light from one prism might hit your eye but the other colours coming from that prism might not. The orange light from another prism might hit your eye but the other colours do not.

A rainbow is a pattern created by red light from some prisms, orange light from others, yellow from others, etc. You only see one colour from one prism, but together they form a pattern. If you move the rainbow moves too. Prisms that were sending red light into your eye are no longer doing so. Others that missed your eye are now hitting it. The pattern stays the same but it’s being created by different prisms now.

Windows has WinGet now. It’s probably already installed but if not, their install page says it can be installed from the Microsoft Store. It also has WSL for running Linux programs.
