It's Finnegans Wake, without the apostrophe. Obviously a book full of puns and riddles must have them in its title as well.
Pretty much, yes. In fact this bit is on the clearer side compared to most of the text. It's very challenging and one should probably not dive into it unprepared (there are a lot of side literature and guides to accompany it). However it's well worth the effort once you learn how to read it (e.g. the words draw their meanings via how they're sounding in addition to how they're written).
Tbf, there would be no point in dumbing down (or simplifying) something like Ulysses which is a prime example of a literary work where the form and content are inseparable.
Now do Finnegans Wake.

Easy: Something something... crash
CapsLock is vital for my muscle memory when configured to act as an extra Ctrl key. I have other shit configured to my Super key so that sort of kb would definitely require a major config overhaul to be usable.
The fix comes to sid first. (Not counting experimental.) The right way to do it is to run mixed testing/unstable with apt-pinning so that nothing gets pulled from unstable unless spcifically requested.
That said, stable with Firefox from Mozilla's site and Neovim built from sources and gpack'd into deb package runs perfectly fine with much less hassle.
Yes, so that maybe some day in the future this horrible shit is no more. Until then, get used to bumping into a thought provoking meme every now. The mild discomfort pales in comparison to the practice itself.
The cost of killing is tied to that package of minced meat whether you accept it or not.
I can't personally do anything to stop this.
You can always upvote or share a post like this to spread awaraness and hence maybe make people buy less eggs, or at least make them pause to think before they buy their next eggs.
They're totally different breed designed to lay as much eggs as physically possible compared to broilers that are designed to grow edible muscle as much and as fast as possible.

Maybe add a thin string to the phone and attach the other end to person's glasses? So when you lose your phonewalletkeyandglassesholder it wouldn't make us four-eyed folks feel left out.
I haven't been in that place for years, decades even. The "everything, always" was the feeling when the days were the darkest and I was pretty much a recluse in my apartment.
Luckily it didn't last for too many weeks and I got a lot better. Of course I did mistakes in my past, but when I think about how absurdly distorted view of the past events I had in my mind it reminds me of how the depression can really fuck a person up.
One of the worst for me was thinking about the past, the people, the things that happened, the incidents, and finding out that it was always me or my actions that were the reason something went wrong for somebody. Everything, always. I guess this fits into the chart's self-loathing sector.
Sender address editing
With the free plan I can receive mail to [email protected] address, but if I reply to a message sent to this address I can't edit the sender field before switching to a paid plan. But if I switch plans are those sender addresses limited to any numbe? Note, I'm referring strictly to username+somestring (and username+anotherstring) style addresses, not to addresses that would contain different username part. Those are limited, ofc.
Build suggestions for a HC barb?
I've started my first D4 hardcore run (seasonal ofc) just now. It's only lvl 15 on WT1 and I've sort of followed one of the Double Swing guides out there.
Any suggestions on what would be a good late or even end game build (supposing this guy survives that far)? A better leveling build tips are also welcome.
3-digit system worth it?
It's been about a year and a half since I (mostly) finalized my images from 000 to 999. I'm using Major system and have put them into a memory palace of my choice (Demon's Souls world areas). I've also been using Anki to reinforce them and focus on the most problematic images.
As fun as this has been the recall times are fairly long and some images just don't want to stick no matter how often they come up on my daily Anki sessions. Compared to my 2-digit PAO images the 3-digit ones feel much slower and more awkward in use.
I've been contemplating on ditching this experiment and honing more on the PAO, but I still feel there's some potential here despite the difficulties. Any tips or experiences on getting the 3-digit system to a more usable level?
Sleep related oddities
Case 1: When I sleep slightly less than would be ideal, for example less than 7 hours per night, I wake up reasonably functional and get through the day without being excessively tired, if not being totally alert either.
Case 2: When I sleep slighly less than would be ideal, for example less than 7 hours per night and wake up, let the dog out to the backyard, wait a few minutes, let the dog back in, and decide to go back to sleep because it's weekend. Now falling asleep takes a while but eventually I succeed. Then after an hour or two at max, I wake up again, but this time around I'm extremely drowsy with muscles aching and it takes serious effort to get up and get the engine running at normal speed. Even though the total amount of sleep (about 8-9 hours) sounds pretty ideal on paper.
Why is that?
MessagEase going subscription based
!MessagEase subscription popup
This popped up today on my phone when casually tapped on a text field. As a long ass time MessagEase user this makes me sad. Even though it has its issues, it's also been pretty much unbeatable when you need to type text on Android without looking using only one thumb. Looks like MessagEase Pro subscription fee is 1,09€/month. Not that much but no thanks. Enshittification spreads. As a FLOSS enthusiast I've always dreaded this sort of thing when using "free" proprietary products.
Anyhow, do I have to go back to Gboard or are there any free/oss alternatives around to replace MessagEase with?
What piece of song lyric you can really relate to?
I'm not talking about the full lyrics, but just a phrase or a sentence that you feel is right up your alley.
One of my personal favourites is from Barmy by The Fall: I got everything I want except for money.
Poista/Toista
Ok, kuulostaa hienolta, mutta auttamattomasti väärältä. Jännä ettei suomenkielinen Android näemmä erottele play-sanan eri merkityksiä edes näin perustasolla. Googlen saneeraustoimien jälkeisestä resurssiuupelosta johtuvaa lie.

Works on Jerboa at least. For comparison, Connect for Lemmy doesn't have the View source option but shows the comment with DELETED text as indicator.
This behaviour could have potentially harmful or even dangerous consequences.

Oulussa syntynyt kirjailija kuoli 4. heinäkuuta 2023 Helsingissä.
Surullinen juttu. Yksi kiinnostavimmista kotimaisista kirjailijoista lähti aivan liian aikaisin.
