Which part?

It's unavailable in my area, but I did just finish Shroud by him and really enjoyed it.

No his "Linux sucks" talks were more like a roast of people in the Linux world. It was done in good fun and at most just poked fun at people.

He went off the deep end a little while ago.

Nah, spray paint wouldn't add much weight.

I was thinking the same. Being dependent on a company that will bend the knee to a hostile government is not sovereignty.

I mean, it's right there in the name! Only Demon-crats support democracy! /s

I don't think this is a good idea. It just adds noise to the process. Granted, there's nothing magic about 18 years that makes someone mature but it's our age of majority.

If anything I'd like to limit the franchise to people who understand what they're voting for l but there isn't a just way to do that.

I don't accept the idea that more people voting is necessarily better. I feel the same about mandatory voting rules like Australia has.

I'm almost done the second section of Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I'm enjoying it so far. At first it seemed almost like Lovecraftian horror but in space, but it started showing more depth as it progresses.

Doing this but not addressing real savings like door to door service or daily service seems pointless. Saving pennies but losing dollars.

I played around with a local LLM to practice my written French. It worked pretty well although I had to play with some settings so it would stop writing essays in response to my comments.

I moved to Montréal last year. Tons of Quebecois will say "fait que" as a sort of filler where you might say "so..." or "anyways..." in English but it always sounds to me like they're saying Fuck.

I mean, just to flip your point, indigenous people are 5% of the population, why should there be any special attention paid there if 20% don't deserve it?
