Check release notes before you upgrade and see what it’s going to break. Immich introduces breaking changes quite often at this point.

Performative legislating on guns, yet again. Nothing will be fixed but they’ll pat themselves on the back yet again for accomplishing nothing except make legal gun owners suffer.

A professional would have a lighter return spring in the slide to not jam on subsonics. In fact, an amateur with half a brain would have as well.

This guy was an absolute amateur, he hadn’t even adjusted his return spring for subsonic rounds.

They need to be worried about pissing off a former sharpshooter with nothing to lose. If they think they’re keeping their client safe from a high-caliber Sako in the hands of someone that knows how to use it, they’re dreaming.

Loved Varley, haven’t read anything of his since Steel Beach though.

KDEs Project Banana OS basically sounds like Steamdecks immutable Arch with Plasma

Reading that shit about AI being used in health insurance makes me so fucking glad I don’t live in a thirdworld shithole with private healthcare.

Man, I wish he had gotten more work done on the Instrumentality. The first novel I read was Norstrilia, maybe when I was like 13 or 14, and that absolutely got me hooked on the universe he built.

Now I have to go back and read everything again if I can dig those out of the boxes. I was really getting down on the pointlessness maundering of modern SF stories and had pretty much shut down reading it. Now I’m excited again.

That might have had a rewritten version in it because it was vaguely familiar and I’m pretty sure I have that collection.

TVO is Ontario’s, not national. CBC is the federally funded broadcaster.

Thanks. I thought I’d read everything Cordwainer Smith had written, but had never seen that before.

Sounds like they need to clean house in the military leadership as well.

I’m so sorry.

I’d have taken that chance.

Consumption taxes on anything except luxuries are regressive.

What always irritated me about Gnome was that when Mutter crashed, I lost anything I was working on. When Plasma crashes, it’ll bring my applications back. The GC bug Gnome had for years was what pushed me to KDE because I couldn’t trust it to not nuke whatever I was working on. Never looked back.

Well, that and the Gnome devs thinking they know how everyone needs to use their DE. That was fucking irritating, especially when they’d break extensions with nary a care.

That’s about it. I call it “Camp Constipation Mode”.

That I can go three days without pooping if I’m out backpacking.

Honk!
