@Dbot @BillyBones I was just about reporting your post as a violation then lol

Yeah stick with it it gets better as the story starts to unfold and stranger 🫠 enjoy

Gauteng police spokesperson Noxolo Kweza commented that the officers on duty during the shenanigans are now under investigation.

Meanwhile, one of the brothers is back in custody but the other remains at large.

Perhaps the police should leave out a dish of milk

lmao

According to the police report, another man held in the jail witnessed this incredible feat: "These two suspects made a strange like owl bird noise, turned into cats and they escaped while the gate was still locked."

"why would these real life cat burglars wait to be brought to jail before taking their feline form?

That's if they even became cats, because I suspect someone was paid for their unlawful release," one officer said.

Meanwhile:

In Meyerton, South Africa, brothers Omari and Ali Mustafa were arrested for possession of stolen goods and put in holding cells at Meyerton Police Station. When it was time for the two suspects to be processed, Warrant Officer Phakathi and Constable Mahloko called their names but they did not respond.

That's because they had transformed into cats and crept out of the jail.

@Dbot @BillyBones I'm jealous you two get to watch it for 1st time lol

I might actually rewatch it

@BillyBones @Dbot Capaldi's part was made for him with his staring eyes

Lol

@BillyBones @Dbot devils hour

I said devils night lol

Yeah Capaldi is awesome in it

@Dbot

Devils night is great think they are making the second series now 1st is available on prime video well worth watching

@voltronic yeah the height adjustment is essential with some keyboards

That was a common theme I heard when others had complained about glide typing on open source keyboards. Would that get better given time though as in more you use it more it might remember words you actually use more than others like learn from you? Isn't that how GBoard does it ?

@Dbot 3:33 the devils hour

@voltronic I don't use glide typing so no biggie for me ik a lot do use it and these open source keyboards don't play nice with that feature I have heard or they don't have the feature

This new one I'm trying now has an option to download glide typing library in advanced settings - OpenBoard didn't have any glide typing option

This the keyboard look

Found what I was looking for

I love this site

https://alternativeto.net/browse/new-apps/

New App Releases:

A long list of great apps & services released recently

You can search for alternatives to software/apps you already use and sometimes you find much better alternatives - especially good for looking for Open-Source Software/apps before actually installing a certain app, using certain software, do a quick search and see if there is an open source alternative 😉

"CrowdStrike has not provided any services in Russia, since February 2022 for sure," Mikhail Klimarev from the non-governmental Internet Protection Society - "Everyone has long been preparing for the possibility of being cut off from Microsoft due to sanctions. The current incident is a test of how well we have prepared. So far, everything is fine, at least for the major players, and generally, there is no panic in the market,"

The Kremlin, along with companies from state nuclear giant Rosatom, which operates all of Russia's nuclear plants, to major lenders and airlines, reported no glitches amid the outage

Funfact

Russian Federation is/Was not affected by the global crowdstrike outage, as Crowdstrike is hardly used in the country.

Russian officials boasted on Friday that Moscow was spared the impact of the global IT systems outage because of its increased self-sufficiency after years of Western sanctions

Crowdstrike had no known customers in Russia. Russian market is dominated by cybersecurity firms such as Kaspersky Labs.
