Morbid thought for the day.. I'm 52. At current replacement rates, I will have 3 more bleeding edge desktop computers before I die.
Hey @TekSavvyCSR just want to make sure you know that Twilla was an awesome customer rep to talk to. Thanks!
So @_MarkSutcliffe is an ass. And Ottawa voters are stupid for installing him. I really hope we can do better next time. Otherwise we're witnessing the slow death spiral of a great city I've called my home for 25 years now.
'Sutcliffe said raising taxes to match other Canadian cities is not fair for the capital's residents. [...] "I don't want to add to that with nine per cent property tax increases. That wouldn't be fair to them."'

A 9% tax increase wouldn't even be enough.

Bellerive: Blame Sutcliffe for Ottawa's public transit woes.
The buck needs to stop somewhere, and it is called the mayor's office. You've been there for 2 years, spent millions and millions on things that make no sense, and failed to increase taxes properly.
Grow. Up.

Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill.
Here is how the study was designed and what we found (including a result that really surprised me):

A recipe for feeling old: watch vintage computer channels. Especially where they're like "can I restore this Amiga 1200 from the trash". I'm like, I have one of those. Oh no, I don't, I put it in the trash. 25 years ago. Especially when presenter is younger than my daughters.
To mark the first year of neoforged, I was going to write a blog post retrospective. Sadly ongoing drama precludes such a thing. Anyway, happy birthday neoforged!
Perhaps what we need is some demonstrative Linux evangelism, showing that Linux on the desktop is viable and has been for, oh, I dunno, 25 years or so 😁
Perhaps a positive take on this - this genre of video seems to be gaining in popularity of late, because Linux on the desktop is becoming MORE and MORE relevant of late. No, it's not the "year of the Linux desktop". That was 1998 or so 😆 But it's an interesting trend...
The latest genre of videos to really piss me off irrationally: "I failed to switch to linux because some stupid tchotchke item or software doesn't work". And they BLAME LINUX for it. WTF? WHY? Blame shitty hardware and software manufacturers, not linux. FUUUUUCK
