This has envigoured my efforts to go off Windows. I have been using Linux for personal stuff for long but work was an exception. Now I'm looking into automating away stuff that requires Excel, and using LibreOffice for the manual parts (mostly formatting).

Can't believe Qatar of all the venues was the one I had a realistic chance of going to see a match.
News: Every 2026 World Cup match will feature two "hydration breaks," no matter the weather.
Each half will pause for exactly three minutes midway through.
It's a player welfare measure. It also has sporting & commercial implications.

2026 World Cup to feature three-minute hydration breaks in every half throughout tournament
Every game will pause for three minutes in the middle of each half, which will essentially split the match into quarters.

Going to travel an exhausting amount of distance today in public transport and I am already tired expecting people to do this like they always do.
Hey. Hey! Don't watch TikTok out loud at a restaurant. Even if you think it's turned too low for anyone to hear! Headphones are so cheap! Don't do it!!

There are somethings so frustrating about LibreOffice. I was feeling pretty good after transferring over most of my workflow to Linux until I came across a spreadsheet where I had to apply a thick border for a table. This is a basic function!! and a one so obvious 🥲.

Switched to Libreoffice Calc for an experiment and I feel so unproductive. The tool can do what I need to do, but the years of conditioning on Excel makes slower by a big factor. Will try to stick with the experiment and see if I can speed up.

I was learning OCaml as a challenge for fun (I don't know much of any language, and this seemed fun, and I got a book)

In my state, the Police apparently solved a case using "AI". It seems they have access to a system to do face recognition on photos shared online (clearview(?)).

19 years after woman, twins murdered, how police used AI to crack cold case, arrest ex-Armymen
In 2010, the Kerala HC, acting on a plea by Santhamma, handed the case over to CBI. In 2013, the CBI submitted a chargesheet but the two remained elusive.
