I was chatting with a yank fella I know on Discord and called him mate, I’ve known him for about a year. There was a pause and he said, “That’s the first time you’ve ever called me mate”. Bloke was just about tearing up cos apparently I’d just fulfilled one of his life ambitions, being called mate by an Aussie. Ordinarily I use mate just about every other sentence but it made me realise I must subconsciously tone it down for foreigners.

When I found out how scummy they were with user data I moved to KISS launcher. It took a few days to get used to but I’m very happy with it now.

For the sake of the rest of the democratic world, please do.

You’re doing the Lord’s work here.

Squad is an awesome game, and I’ve played hundreds of hours on Proton. However, unless performance has drastically improved since last December, I would not recommend trying to play it on Steam Deck. I got about 20fps, with regular and significant drops. It is a seriously good game though for those who like a good tactical multiplayer shooter. OWI also makes a Starship Troopers game and Squad 44 (sort of a WW2 version of Squad but different, does not run on Proton due to EAC) so I hope they get the same treatment.

What a brave woman. I really hope her appeal goes well but I also hold serious doubts.

I’m doing my part!

I think you might be right though, it seems unlikely the current plan is going to attract more than a handful of applicants.

Unfortunately I think we will see more and more of this type of reporting so long as the BJP is in power.

Great stuff Kiwis! I wish Aus would do more.

I was going to post this and then I saw your comment. The Handmaiden trailer gives nothing at all away yet somehow commands you to watch the film. A masterpiece in film trailers, also an excellent movie.

It does look odd. I remember reading an Australian soldier’s account of one of the early battles. They described trading fire until they were ordered to fix bayonets. They started charging and he said the North Korean soldiers all threw down their weapons and ran away. From that point on the Australians relied heavily on bayonets as they knew the North Koreans were not too fond of them.

That’s neat. This Owen was on display at the Korean War Museum in Seoul, bayonet attached.

What a terrifying job that must have been.

This was awesome, it had me so confused when the author described the legal problems they were having.

Gutless. If you’re proud of your ideology, show your face.

True, Saints and Sinners slaps.

This is the way.

Good, there is some useful kit there. Now give them the Hawkei as well.

Did that cook off or was there a second hit that I missed? It appeared to be sparking a bit after the first hit. Could have been a mine also I guess.

The desktop panel layout is very similar. The biggest give away is the Steam Deck icon where the Windows Start menu usually sits. Then beside that are Terminal and other Linux specific software.
