I very recently learned that the term “boycott” comes from someone’s actual name: Charles Boycott. Boycott was an English land agent who tried, in 1880, to collect unpayable rents from Irish peasants on behalf of an English aristocrat landlord. When he failed to collect the rents, he tried evicting the tenants. The Irish Land League responded with a campaign to ignore Boycott’s orders and isolate him socially and economically.
They not only ignored his eviction orders and threw manure at his process servers, but refused to deliver his mail or sell him food.

It was pretty effective—the British government eventually had to deploy a thousand soldiers (naturally, because the state works for the propertied class and none more than the 19th century British state) at a cost of some £10,000 to harvest £500 worth of crops. Boycott had to be evacuated by the soldiers, who even had to drive him out, as no locals would agree to drive his carriage out of the region.
Imagine being cancelled so hard that your name becomes permanently associated with getting cancelled.

I think many people here who bemoan having "nothing to watch" because of wokeism in media nowadays are unaware at how utterly based old movies are (and they should watch them).
Here's an idea: Minecraft 2.
No? Not a fan? .... hhmm....
Ok, I got you fam: Minecraft ReCrafted Edition.
What? Clearly Minecraft could use a Remaster!
sudo pacman -S google-chrome

One of the nicer revelations in learning languages for me is that even native speakers wouldn't "know" the rules of their own language and operate largely by feelings anyway~
So instead of trying to perfectly understand all the rules it is better to train my mind, somehow, so that I can start to "feel" things like them 
YouTube must have had a stroke.
Contrary to popular opinion of some, Romania is not Hungary. I'm not hungarian nor do I speak the language. The only way I even figured out this is likely in hungarian, is cause the word "magyar" in there.
Internet is very weird for me right now.
International download speeds seem to be very inconsistent. I'm either getting my full contract speed (usually to EU capitals) or less than 1Mbps to anything else.
At the same time upload speed is just fine everywhere around the world.
The result seems to be that fedi has reached a record low loading speed for me.

I really hope somewhere, at some time in history, that interaction took place.

Every once in a while, I come upon a web browser for Android that has interesting and appealing features, usually to do with UI.
But then I find out that it's not a proper Chromium browser, as it first appears, but rather it uses WebView. Which makes a lot of sites load with really broken/hard to use page formatting.
And each and every time I struggle to understand why Android WebView, although it's clearly based on the same Chrome/Chromium everything, is so bad at being consistent at this one thing, and it keeps rendering some things insanely different from even a bare bones Chromium.
Bob Ross was wrong about you.

I think I had one of the best dreams for a nerd.
I had gotten my hands on a vintage CPU, one that my cousin owned back in the day, an old AMD Duron 700mhz. Probably came out somewhere around 2000. But that's not the good part. The good part was that I put it as a secondary CPU in my system, and I could dualboot an old Windows on it and play old games perfectly.
This made me think, could this become a thing? People speculate a transition to ARM PCs, and while the idea seems decent, there's the problem of legacy x86 software, especially games, and how difficult it would be to attempt emulation for them. Sure, you can emulate Notepad without being bothered by the overhead, but something that is CPU bottlenecked is out of the question for many generations.
So what if instead, your ARM motherboard had the ability to attach a daughter board that contain a x86 CPU, that allowed your PC to boot into a x86 mode. Or maybe have the OS be smart enough to be able to use it for x86 programs directly, instead of sending them to an emulation layer.
