Weird timing.

They've also mentioned elsewhere that they'll continue support as long as there's enough of a subscriber base to justify it. If enough people are using it, that 5 years could be much longer. They offer security patches for Windows 7 too.

I'm not really sure what their process is. I'm just glad to be able to keep my current work flow without having to worry about fully losing security updates.

You can also use 0patch to continue to get security updates for Windows 10 if you find it's still a good fit.

If you want to keep using Windows 10, check out 0patch! They're supporting security updates past EOL. It's like €24/year and you can get a 1 month trial for free.

Heyyyy that's my friend's article! She really stepped up the union's game!

That sounds awesome. The main reason I never got into House of the Dragon was that it was just a bunch of rich people. It would be nice to actually enjoy another Westeros thing.

It's set in the 1490s because that's the current era in Forgotten Realms, just like the first games were set in the 1360s because that was the era that was current at the time. It's not like they actively chose that specific time period for any of the three games.

The article literally starts out telling her she was never vegan because her stated reasoning for abstaining from animal products involved her own personal health rather than cruelty to animals. Utterly unhelpful.

Because the internet has a thing for identifying with assholes. Look at Rick Sanchez or Dennis Renolds or Starship Troopers or Warhammer 40K or Helldivers. Take any character or group that's explicitly coded as terrible in the source material, hand it to the Internet, and they'll start making memes about it and eventually unironically decide that character is legitimately great actually. And the people spamming the shit everywhere will always act as though such a thing could never happen.

Meanwhile in the US...

No, it makes fence-sitters feel like there's something to identify with in a baby eating lunatic and slowly shifts the Overton window further and further toward normalizing straight up evil.

Homelander memes: helping the internet make fascists feel normal and relatable since 2024 or whenever.
