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.

He’ll be able to sneak up on those adolescents now.

Considering one of the other ones mentioned was “ANOM” which was a LEO honeypot, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is another that was named that to try to get dumber criminals to think it was the real Matrix.

are people actually having webpages on their own PCs nowadays?

Fuck no. That’s why this will get enshittified. Anyone that tells you people will just move or host it themselves live in a fucking dreamworld. That’s why geocities went away without a replacement.

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.

As long as it’s a mutual creampie.

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

I’ve had to use Netsol on and off since the 90s; they’ve always been a dumpster fire.

I guess it’s interesting that there’s an investigation going on, but I wouldn’t take someone’s ability to clear a jam as indication this was professional. You’d be hard-pressed to find a LEO that practice fires a tenth of the rounds that many enthusiasts in the US would blow off just for funsies. Not to mention IPSC participants where you learn to clear a jam damn fast because you’re being timed on the run.

Oh, lord, check the mod logs for what these weirdos will ban people over. It’s pathetic.

There should be public treason trials for Yoon and the military leadership. This was an attempted coup.

But I thought encryption was bad and un-American?
