It was about 4 months out of date at code freeze from my understanding and 6 months out of date on release which is honestly better than I’d expect normally for packages in official repos

+1 to Garage being great! I used it for a personal project and it worked really well. A lot of S3 data browsing clients also support it natively or just through API compatibility too

Software needs users to fund development and most users find the software via word of mouth and there’s no way I’m telling a friend that they should try POOP for their next art project

I’d love to hear what your solution would be? They freeze everything two months out to allow for thorough testing and unless your answer to the problem is switching to a rolling release cycle (which is exactly the opposite of what its supposed to be), then I don’t think there’s anything to be done

This sort of distro is and always has prioritised stability over having the latest of everything and that’s a good thing. I use CachyOS on my desktop but it’s the absolute last thing I’d put on a server, let alone a production one.

Just use Docker if you need something newer

I’ll admit I didn’t know what the shadow from the TV was until I read the comments. I went back to change my downvote to an upvote

I’ve actually not heard of a single Canadian (ignoring those who sold out and moved to the US) who’s been on the list but someone can correct me if I just missed an article or something

I’d like to think that maybe it means we’re just better people but given the way the world is, our ultra rich probably just have their own snow-tinted Epstein who’s still alive and active

what

I hate this sort of meme/joke because it just perpetuates the idea that people’s skin colour affects their actions rather than their upbringing and personality which is pretty fucking racist but with a “progressive” tint.

It’s such a weird American thing

black market would then only be supported by irredeemable vape haters

The black market is easily available to those who use something that can only be bought through it. You can only be introduced to something by someone who already has a connection and once you have that one connection, you often find more.

Sometimes the black market can actually even be more convenient than regulated shops, like soon people in the UK will have their local tobacco dude who’ll drop your stuff off at your doorstep

Hard unnuanced bans on vices never work and it’s insane that people think that this time it will.

You say that it’ll cut down on healthcare costs but how much will now be spent on enforcement? Tobacco use was already out of style and smoking seen as obnoxious and uncool but now it’ll be seen as a mysterious and forbidden thing. Look at cannabis use among youth in Canada after legalisation if you want an example. People will continue to smoke tobacco but now that tobacco will all be unregulated black market stuff bought from some sketchy guy who can offer you any number of other unregulated, untested and more dangerous drugs

People are downvoting but that’s still pretty funny even if you hate AI. Like, come on, its really funny that rickrolling has been widespread for so many years that the training data made the LLM spit out that exact YouTube link

I’m not a gambling person at all but I do like the mix of betting inconsequential amounts on a poker game and just doing a game night with a few friends. We’ll do poker night occasionally where we all put in $20 CAD and while most of the fun comes from having some pints and chatting, the idea of maybe ending with an extra $80 or whatever in beer change makes it a little more exciting even if i usually expect to lose it.

I really can’t remember an era where the term hack wasn’t used incorrectly but this case seems a lot more fitting than usual

IIRC the US heavily pressured other countries with tariffs to also ban it

lol, yeah I figured

What country are you talking about when you say your home grown dictator?

If it broke out in WW3 then I think most of the world’s public support would be behind China. The US has always been a hostile bully but Americans generally kept it contained to poorer countries that didn’t have as much of a voice. Now though…

The lyrics are so good I’m leaning towards them being written by a real human and then just fed into AI

I kind of assume the same with the imagery too. It’s slop but I gotta admit that it’s quality slop

Maybe Trump was playing 1000D chess by making the US even more of a failed country and this was his plan to get Mexico to pay for the wall
