No. But 2024, the 25th of July is clumsy both spoken and written.
July 25th, 2024 is okay but gives off middle child vibes.
25th of July, 2024 is ordered small to big, rolls off the tongue and when written nicely seperates both sets of numbers for ease of readability.
The only other alternative I will accept is Julian dates. Today is Day 26 of 2025.
Don’t you mean: “Right there! Stop you, I’m going to.”
Yoda-ass date structure.
What day, of what month, of what year is it? It’s ordered by importance dammit!
Absolutely true. It’s funny that at a cursory glance military indoctrination seems to create mindless followers and yes men. In reality modern military ethos forces members to think critically, beyond orders and find intent. You end up forming bonds with people and creating a sense of “Service before self”. So you tend to think about the tribe more than yourself. At the end of the day the job is to protect the idea of a nation. No allegiance to any one political party or person. But a nation as a tribe.
So, you end up with a lot of service members that love their country and hate their politicians. After all, the politicians sign the papers that make people die.
In addition to this; lots of people in the military are not fans of cops and as long as they aren’t a far right nutty they generally recognise the benefits of living in a socialised system that provides food, shelter, kinship and reward with a balanced paycheque. You know… Like the army does.
There are a surprising number of anti-establishment service members when you actually sit down and talk to them and break down the system they live in.
how are you booting windows from systemd?
I’m not. I ran some Systemd-analyze, blame etc once Fedora started up and saw that most of my startup lag was caused by a specific drive on boot.
systemd is not part of the bootloader.
Yes, and so I used the systemd tools to figure out what was causing my issues on boot.
As I explained in a reply in this thread it seems my issue is mostly resolved for now. The bootloader was stalling on initializing a pair of drives I have in RAID for system backups on the M$ side.
This is turn, when running -analyze or other tools showed the drive that contained my Win10 machine stalling out and waiting 45+ seconds to initialise. Because /it/ was actually waiting for the RAID drives to sort it the hell out. So, it looked like there was a conflict between both boot disks when in reality the stall was a symptom of Linux not playing nice with RAID.
I wrongly assumed it was a boot disk conflict similar to some Windows dual boots where the two disks may be fighting with each other for boot priority and causing a fight until one timed out.
I think I needed to use an internet friend as a rubber ducky to get things working.
Nope!
Root, Boot, /EFI, /home
After writing this post I took the nuclear option and disconnected all drives in the PC save for the one hosting Fedora. Then I incrementally connected them all until failure.
It wasn’t the Win10 drive but the RAID pair I have as a system backup causing the problem. I guess Fedora was trying to mount those disks causing the hold up. Then that made it look like it was the Win10 disk causing the holdup because it was waiting to initialise.
With the RAID drives disconnected everyone is speaking the same language now.
Here’s the thing… People who care still use Discord. I’m one of them. I have no other option for maintaining communications with a group of 20 people I have been gaming with since 2009. We’ve all hopped from Skype to Teamspeak to Ventrillo to Discord. There’s no going back for many of these people.
Like it or not, Discord offers a product that Signal, Briar, or any other Matrix chat offers and that’s accessibility. I would love for a mainstream E2EE chat program that actually can host a 15 person call, hold multiple chatrooms in one server, allow screen sharing, streaming and multimedia sharing.
We can’t just live in a vacuum and claim nobody uses these programs because they’re stupid or don’t care. For many, like me, Discord a reasonable security risk people are willing to take in order to maintain communications with people they care about.
Yeah, totally. As far as game lore goes I don’t see why they can’t change that. As far as we can see all of the schools had widely varied ideologies. What is good, what is evil, contract killing and more. I see no reason in established lore that another school couldn’t have had female witchers or why the Lodge wouldn’t want to get their hands on the recipes to revive the witcher schools.
What’s a couple decades with a dying witcher school, the world’s most powerful sorceresses and the ability to teleport to the dimension where magic was birthed?
I’m pretty sure Yenn or Triss mention how trivial it would be for them to figure out the potions and transmutations required to make the trials happen but the Witchers are very, very against an outsider touching it all. The original plans were made by a sorceress in any case.
I’m sure they’ll have a perfectly reasonable way of explaining how she went through the trials.
To be honest, I was expecting an AC style game set during the Golden Age of Witchers. The schools of each nation are thriving, magic is abundant, Witchers are respected envoys to rulers, monster population is waning but one thing remains the same: Humans slaughter eachother in droves, rape pillage and plunder. Thus proving once more that Humans are the true monsters.

Ontario happens to have been where a lot of joijt research facilities for nuclear energy were started. The US and Canada invested a lot of money into southern ontario nuclear plants and enrichment centres during and after ww2.
The other provinces have great geography that allows for Hydro to work. Ontario happens to be really geologically stable so it’s prime real-estate for Nuclear plants.
Tell me about it. I can feel the rumblings of something awful coming for Canada. All because if this bullshit down south. Our rights are being threatened because of reactionary politics. Half the people I work with can’t seperate Canadian politics from American. They think it’s all the same.
Drives me up the wall.
Sunflower oil gang rise up!
Great cooking versatility, great flavour for fried foods, high smoke point, cheap as heck.
I was reading that the devs specifically did a revamp to map the deep control scheme for the Deck. So the answer to your questions is most likely yes.
What’s really funny is that’s how socialised healthcare works. We all pool money together based on income and it goes into this neat little fund that ensures no person ever goes without healthcare.
Corporations like United Health can’t profit from this so they’ve been working and lobbying lawmakers in my country and others for decades to gut the public health and education sectors to cause more deaths and get a foothold for private care.
In my eyes this is a corporate act of war and should be condemned to the highest degree. Our forefathers died in trenches to prove our worth and ensure we could practice this social democracy. American terror organisations sow doubts in the minds of my people and poison the waters of meaningful progress.
There is calculable effect on the people of my country in housing, health and education because of these profiteering fucks. These predatory animals could disappear tomorrow and nobody would give a flying fuck.
I’m not sure if this is sarcastic or not.
We share some culture. But, Canada has to fight for our own culture to remain relevant in the face of American oversaturation.
The legend of grimrock 1,2. I have pages of notes and a hand drawn map on gridpaper for them!
It means it gives off middle child vibes. What more do you want?
People round these parts say the day first, then the month. Anything else is attention seeking middle child vibes.
