Procrastinating

I will let you know later how good I am at it.

In the 2020 crash the crew ignored multiple direct orders by the ATC to stop the approach and go-around.

I wouldn't trust any airline after something like that no matter how much they say they have improved.

I think it's pretty weird.

Oh wow, I didn't know abot his backstory. Oblivion and Skyrim would probably be very different games if he hadn't survived that accident.

It allows you to easily list users who upvoted or downvoted a post or comment. Most people don't realize their votes are public, as Lemmy doesn't display voters anywhere in the UI. The tool sparked quite a bit of debate when it was released, most of it unnecessary in my opinion as instance owners/admins, community moderators, and users of non-Lemmy software (like Mbin) can see vote information regardless.

Downloading VMware Workstation from Broadcom. They made it free but they definitely didn't make getting it easy. What's worse, in-app updates have been broken since Broadcom takeover, meaning you need to navigate their shitty website every time you want to update.

Every account on ~~reddit~~ fediverse is a bot except you.

Jokes aside, I haven't noticed anything. I don't really see what would anyone gain by setting up bots posing as real humans. Especially on Fediverse. I'm not saying it's never happening but I don't think it's very common.

I only included pages from the English Wikipedia. There was quite a few visits to Wikipedia in my native language too.

Kinda interesting, in the pictures in the article everyone seems to have a yellow floaty thingy. Anyone know if they actually require everyone to use one or if it's just a coincidence that everyone happened to have one when the pics were taken.

Nothing major, but I have two stories that have stuck with me. I'm not superstitious or anything, and obviously these are just coincidences, but it's interesting how the human mind loves finding connections between things even when there aren't any.

One morning in 2020, during the covid lockdowns, I woke up to the sound of a small bird pecking at my bedroom window. It was really going at it and wouldn't fly away even after opening the blinds. For some reason, I wanted to take a picture of it, and just as I grabbed my phone, it rang and I got the news that my grandmother had passed away during the night. Right then, I noticed the bird flying away. My partner at the time insisted it was my grandma saying her final goodbyes. While I don't believe that, the memory of that moment has stuck with me, and it still makes my eyes water a bit.

The second incident also involves a bird, funnily enough. A friend and I were driving to a national park for an overnight hiking trip when we accidentally drove over something on a small forest road. I didn't see it, but my friend said it looked like a small bird. I wanted to stop and check, but my friend, who was driving, just kept going. I jokingly said something like "Now we have bad karma, and the whole trip will get ruined somehow.” And would you know it, that very same day an unexpected heatwave hit the area, making the entire hike pretty miserable. This has become a running joke between us, every time we go hiking, we joke about how everything will go fine, as long as we can get there without running over anything on the way.

Yeah, just checked the price myself too. $120 is just robbery. I hope 3rd party manufacturers will figure out how to make their stuff work with Switch 2.
