I think they mean that sandboxing Windows in a VM is akin to how GrapheneOS can sandbox Google apps, not that they would use Graphene on a PC.

Happy to be corrected though!

All of your advice is sound enough, but the point of this video was more to demonstrate that Cloudflare (and absolutely other companies) are specifically avoiding "layoff" language in favor of firings based on "performance" to avoid paying these people even the paltry amount in unemployment they would receive. It's not just that they're being laid off.

DRG is a great game that I really enjoy, but the lack of playable female characters frustrates me too. This problem has absolutely stopped me from playing other games before.

Disclaimer: Your experience is your own and I am not trying to tell anyone how to feel by sharing my own here.

Feelings of shame around my attraction to women went away the second I came out as a trans lesbian. I don't have a lot of words to share which explain why I felt that shame - perhaps a fear of being creepy, or wanting to be with women but not wanting to be the "man" in the relationship - but that experience is a clue that I look back on post-coming-out as a sign that I wasn't cishet. Had I been equipped with the language and therapeutic resources to analyze that more closely, I may have come out sooner.

Diod. Sic. 5.32, if anyone was wondering. The translation here is pretty faithful. I found that you could creatively interpret "ἀλλὰ πρὸς τὰς τῶν ἀρρένων ἐπιπλοκὰς ἐκτόπως λυττῶσιν" as "but they were unusually rabid towards the intercourse of men."

Red Sonja ruled when I watched it not too long ago. Apparently everyone hated it, critics and audiences alike, but I thought it was fun.

I'm convinced that, around where I live, they give up on putting beans in whatever I order and just feed me the "we're out of beans" excuse. Maybe they really are out, but I have received beef in items I ordered with beans so often and at so many different locations and times that I think they just don't care to do it.

It's been a long time since I've read much about Napoleon, but the trailer inspires me with no confidence about historical veracity, and I have little doubt that you will be correct in the end.

Which apps are those? Just curious - I know there are others in this situation and I'm always interested in hearing what apps are the blocking ones for a transition from Windows.

They're "remaking" the price tag so they can sell the most recent, least controversial Assassin's Creed game again, perhaps?

YSK because text-based communication demands clarity, and this mistake can be confusing for both native English speakers and English learners alike.

I've seen many people online writing "weary" when the context of the rest of their posts suggest they mean "wary." Here are Merriam-Webster definitions for each:

weary (adj)

  • exhausted in strength, endurance, vigor, or freshness

wary (adj)

  • marked by keen caution, cunning, and watchfulness especially in detecting and escaping danger

Hope this helps somebody out there who may not know the difference or has been confused by the words :)
