Over the past week or so, I've been hacking away at a fun little project. Paperback, my second shot at a cross-platform ebook and document reader. Quinread, the one I wrote while in high school was in Python and didn't use great coding practices, and all the other existing solutions seem unmaintained or don't behave how I want, so in typical me fashion, I'm writing my own. It's written in C++ with wxWidgets, so it'll hopefully be cross-platform, although I've currently only tested on Windows. It's entirely open source, and under the MIT license. I can't make any promises about this project other than to say that I genuinely enjoy working on it and don't see any reason to stop, but it both starts up and loads giant documents incredibly fast. github.com/trypsynth/Paperback…

Vapovat se dají všelijaké bylinky. V návodu na můj vaporizér dokonce byly některé uvedeny včetně doporučených teplot. Téměř žádný výrobce oficiálně nekomunikuje, že je ten vaporizér na trávu, většina uvádí bylinky. kvalitnivaporizer.cz/advisor/v…

If only some group of people had been warning about the risks of massive government data collection, loudly, for decades and decades

imagine then getting freaked out when the government, which holds all that data in thousands of isolated silos just decides to...be efficient. talk to other parts of government. coalesce and aggregate its data.

imagine your entire defense for doing nothing about this is that you just assumed the government would never get its shit together and use the data you let it collect

it's so WEIRD because the Republicans were staunchly against this kind of thing for so long. It's literally why the ATC only has access to paper records for gun purchases! The Repubs were terrified about this being a searchable database for the government to have control over

Are any other @thunderbird users seeing the issues that @winterschon wrote about in this post? I've been seeing the high resource usage, just not quite as high (but almost as high). This is one of the reasons that I'm moving back to Emacs for my email or looking for a client that is a bit "lighter" on the resource usage.

I know I will hear a lot of flack for posting this, but here you guys go. I didn't write it, this comes from one of our local TV stations.

Rocketman was released in movie theaters 6 years ago today.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and Taron Egerton's performance was top notch. I'm going to have the song Rocketman in my head all day.
