TheGrandNagus hit the nail on the head perfectly, but as someone who actually does read the FT every now and then, I'm genuinely shocked they even published this.
Granted, it's under an "Ask Shrimsley" thing, but for a hot minute I was reading it like a normal FT article thinking "what the actual fuck?"
It honestly reads like the comment section of the FT, not something that should've been passed through an editor and published.
This isn't the first time they've pushed an update which crashes PCs.
IIRC, the development/testing is done on Windows under VMs rather than a sample of real world hardware, so it's like "well yeah, duh, no wonder why you keep releasing updates that crash & freeze end users machines"
Between shit like this, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Recall I wonder why anyone even bothers with Windows anymore. I have both Mac and Linux (both which I love equally). Both of them don't seem to have anywhere near these levels of issues - Macs I would hope not given the eye-watering amount I've spent on it, and Linux I could be forgiven if it did give me hassle, but no.
Nevermind, I did a quick check on YouTube and the game runs absolutely terribly on the Steam Deck... so much for me supporting Konami, got that refund request in order.
I'm just downloading it to my Steam Deck as I bought advanced access to the game. I'll let folks know how it goes.
And before anyone jumps on my neck about buying advanced access:
I swear between vaccines and this, it's like we've collectively gone backwards.
I do note this is an article based in US but I do wonder if it applies across the world - in the UK, chlamydia and gonorrhoea has gone up (link) with the bullet point at the end:
the impact of STIs remains greatest in young people aged 15 to 24 years; GBMSM; and some minority ethnic groups
For goodness sakes, lads! Put a rubber on it!!
Also from my experience the users on BlueSky are pretty much a straight swap from Twitter. And by that I mean nobody ever bothers interacting with me at all.
On mastodon if I so much as rip a fart on there, *someone* will engage with it. On BlueSky? Nada.

I did and I feel quite happy about it. Here's hoping there is more web engines out there 👍
Well tbf I'm seeing the introdução hashtag trending on Mastodon (on my server it is second)

It's such a shame that Rust developers feel like they feel unwelcome, especially due to a complete misunderstanding in implementation details.
Even worrying, this is kernel developers saying they prioritise their own convenience over end user safety.
Google has been on a Rust adoption scheme, and it seems to have done wonders on Android: https://security.googleblog.com/2022/12/memory-safe-languages-in-android-13.html?m=1
But also, there is a bit of a problem to adopt Rust. I think the memory model may prove challenging to some, but I do worry in this case that even if it was super simple, the existing C kernel devs would still reject the code due to it not being C and not willing to adopt a new language.
Urgh. Christ.
But then again it was tied between Badenoch and Jenrick - the two mega right-wing MPs in the party.
I do feel like Tory members in general are very out of touch with what the UK population wants; I think Tory members want a Brexit-Party-lite with a crackdown on immigrants blah blah blah, but the rest of the country just wants shit like NHS and infrastructure to finally work.
