I’d prefer to have kept using Spotlight but I’m still suffering a crash whenever I type mes and Alfred has proven a good replacement. Purchased the Mega Licence!

I finally bit the bullet and just installed Windows into a VM. I know you don’t need to activate it but I wanted to change the background wallpaper and found a Windows Home licence key I purchased more than 5 years ago (!) and, to my surprise, it still works.
I mentioned a week or so ago that Facebook kept sending me e-mails about problems logging into Instagram. I thought that was a cynical attempt to get me to open the app but I’m not sure now; I’ve had a couple of password reset e-mails from different services lately.
Are there any other games for the Switch like Mario Kart that include an ‘auto’ mode so that very young children can play together with adults?
Just played our first ‘real’ 4-player multiplayer game as a family: Mario Kart on the Switch.
Got a bit melancholic last night thinking that but for the pandemic, we’d have been able to go to Tokyo Disneyland for my daughter’s fifth birthday.
Am starting to think these ‘Sorry to hear you’ve having trouble logging into Instagram’ e-mails are spam written in a scaremongering tone. I’ve barely used the app in years but I needed to look up something yesterday that caused me to launch it so they know there’s no problem.
I can crash Spotlight even if my entire hard disk is excluded from indexing and I have all categories disabled. Spotlight will also crash if the text is MES regardless of whether I get that by typing it directly or indirectly (say by typing MEDS and then deleting D).
Is there an e-mail newsletter about the regional usage of participle adjectives with nouns (e.g. ‘iced water’ vs ‘ice water’)?
I’ve found someone with a very similar issue Spotlight crashing issue to mine but the solution there doesn’t work for me :(
A problem with the argument that tech companies were right to wait til Wednesday to act (e.g. Ben Thompson) is that it assumes that the rioters were destined to fail. It shouldn’t have got this close. Can the right approach be to rely on incompetence?
Spotlight crashes as soon as I hit the S in ‘mes’ and I’m not sure how to fix it. I’ve tried restarting and rebuilding the Spotlight index and it’s not working. It only seems to be that precise combination that causes the issue.
I wish there were an easy way to install a command-line version of Windows inside a virtual machine. I think it’s possible but can’t find clear instructions of someone doing it.
I don’t know if Matt Yglesias is responsible for coining ‘Banana Republicans’ as a term to describe America’s crazy conservatives but it’s perfect.
I’m reading about conditions and restarts in Common Lisp and it’s blowing my mind.
