Lol, this post has everything, even Sherlock holmes fan fiction.

Hahaha, Canada has so much booze. We have a ton of fine ryes and most of the best booze comes from the EU/UK anyway. We also get a lot of south american and Aussie wines.

We didn't need the US, their booze was just cheaper. Then trump fixed that.

Anyone contributing to open source either does it:

  • on their companies dime, which means they work for a rare company building open source solutions
  • at the end of their day, on their weekend, or during their vacation

Most FOSS devs are in position two. By a large margin. They could be relaxing, or earning more money doing freelancing to make ends meet, but instead they are trying to build something they want to see happen. That requires focusing on the important tasks and that often means not having time to spend on poorly reported bugs that are actually users just not RTFM and opening issues. It wastes the devs time, and projects with too much of this have development stagnate and are frequently shuttered.

And devs that just do this to get a better job stop contributions once their new job takes over their life, and then the project suffers.

Users need to appreciate FOSS devs more because some of the most important projects we need in 2025 are developed only because they want to see them happen.

The conservative party is openly against indigenous rights so I'm not sure what your argument is here.

Unless you are arguing Alberta should be voting Green Party, in which case I'm with you.

Same. Hopefully they actually do something, and hopefully all the old folks don't default to first past the post if we do vote on it like they did in BC, largely because they couldn't be bothered to lean how any of the proportional representation options work.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's government is increasing how much it costs to apply for a citizen-initiated referendum by 5,000 per cent, saying it's about making sure applicants are upper class instead of annoying street urchins.

There; fixed it for ya, Danielle.

Oh, go to your DDG options and turn the AI slop off.

No pensions, just an RRSP, and these assholes who did away with pensions keep manipulating the market in their favour.

Took me 30 years to barely get into a house before interest rates skyrocketed, and now the ai crash will likely take that from me.

Ill be working till I die, and at this point Ill likely be dead before retirement from stress, war, or both.

And the fun all started when I graduated directly into the dotcom crash.

I have run Pihole on 2 physical Pi 4s (DietPi OS) with config sync for 3 years now. Core to the house. Very reliable.

Don't use Google. DDG works with keyword searches and you get exactly what you expect.

 

I've been seeing a lot of startrek.website shares I do showing the wrong desc and image in the unfurl on the posts lately. It was a few of them a week at first, but it's become multiple a day now.

As the most recent example, the "Look at the time, its 7 of 9" post unfurls like this in signal:

Is this a known issue? Is there a better place to report instance issues? It kind of looks to me like UUID reuse leading to new posts displaying old images.

 

So much food.

 

Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

 

As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.

My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.

This is the most unfiltered article I've read from The Atlantic... by the time I finished the second paragraph I had to re-read the title to understand how I got here.

Edit: To be clear, this has been revealed as satire, its just so close to reality one could be forgiven for confusing the two.

 

Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.

 

Riker came down on a whole other deck and wants answers.
