Quote from: xpb on January 14, 2026, 10:39:55 AMThus far, I have received two applications for the PermSec.  The application period will remain open until the end of the current Clark on 21 Jan 2026.

Reminder if anyone else wishes to put their hat in the ring to please do so in the next couple of days.

Minister, I wanted to check with you on consideration for the PermSec role? Delighted to see we have multiple candidates and hoping we can see someone appointed and active soon.

Love it!  When it's done, let us know so we can publicize it!

I guess you're right -- now that I think about it, there's no harm to that.  I was thinking the other which way.

Happy to announce that, now that I know how Inkscape works and all that, I will return to making Talossan road signs in the hope that when we do gain physical control over GTA that we will have replacements for existing signs.

In the meantime, admire the existing new signs that I have made (improvements for the gantry signs to come).

I commonly do it with vanilla Ubuntu and also tried it with Linux Mint but that didn't work for whatever reason. Zorin OS is a great distro too.

Is this version acceptable to you?

I don't really understand. Having a 7.5% worth of seats taken up by unelected new citizens would be a problem no matter how many default Cosă seats there are, so what is the harm of the referendum passing without the seat reduction bill?

That also wouldn't be good... they should pass together or not at all, in my opinion.

Considering just doing a motherboard/CPU swap, or building something new and setting up a Linux partition for everyday use and a Windows partition (or just Wine maybe) for things I need it for. My brother's a big Linux guy, I'd wager he'd be excited to help me out with an install. The catch is that the latter option is expensive...

I say install Linux on a USB drive, this article is a great guide, used it myself numerous times.

I picked a penguin, perhaps because of recent Penguin Awareness Day making me more aware of them, but I like the idea of incorporating the theme behind the award.

I don't think a sextant would read at the scale we're talking (about an inch square), but a ship would.  I can probably find the same ship I used for the MinImm badge, to make it extra recognizable.  Or just some other nautical thing.  Sextant is worth a try.

I'm going to see if I can find the cordage as a next step, and then I'll redesign once I have it and know how big to make the gap in the back.  And I'll put up some examples from which people can choose.

Thanks!
