All around the world, people are celebrating Blue Screen of Death Day.
This year's festivities, proudly sponsored by Crowdstrike and Microsoft, kicked off in the wee hours of the morning -- people from all corners of the globe simply could not wait to ring in BSOD Day 2024!
Below are pictures -- from airports and offices... to Times Square -- of how people chose to comemorate the day.

After laying off 30% of their staff, Mozilla Foundation flies to a Zambian resort to promote Marxism & anti-Capitalism. It is just as ridiculous and hilarious as it sounds.
Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

As you may know, the Cosmic desktop is based on the Smithray rust library. Niri is also based on Smithray, but it has a different take on the desktop experience.
Niri is a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor. Windows are arranged in columns on an infinite strip going to the right. Opening a new window never causes existing windows to resize.I'd like to announce the release of Niri version 0.1.10. This release features huge improvements to window arrangement and mouse dragging.
Dragging windows into tiling position is now super simple and intuitive. Hold the MOD key and drag away - usually the Windows key. Tablet users will find a similar experience. Just hold and drag. There are videos demonstrating these features.
