Julien is spot on. In my daily work, I use a lot of open-source software. Most of it is paid.
Along with paying developers for their work, it also makes a lot of sense to use solutions in which the developer has an incentive for maintaining and improving their product.

I've been avoiding saying this explicitly but here it is. Despite there being great radios out there, Lab599 TX-500/500MP, Xiegu X6100/X6200, If I could have just one field radio, it would be the Icom IC-705!

🚨Breaking : a 33 year old with no degrees, minors whatsoever, nor any formal coursework in basic technology, wants to "pause AI development" and have it be the"top of the Democratic agenda" 🤔

Still waking up early from the hour change. Made breakfast again of eggs, toast and coffee. Guess I'll head down to the polls and vote when they open the doors at 7 am. I'm not looking forward to a day of spam texts and calls telling me to go vote but thankfully it's the last day
RIP Mr. Brown, enjoyed your magazines and point of view! Good ready!
RIP to LTC Brown. There will never be another quite like him.
I've been a lifelong fan of SOF since I was introduced to the magazine in early 90s, and the multi-part series on Oklahoma City opened my eyes as a kid far more than probably anything else.
Steve Barry told me much about his time working with "Bob" / "Boulder Brown" just prior to writing the original SF Sniper Course POI. Definitely one of the more impactful conversations I've had across a dinner table with many glasses of Jameson. Some of that knowledge they refined I try in earnest to pass along in the Scout and Recce courses. Certain truths are timeless, lest we allow them to fade into obscurity.
LTC Brown was a Cowboy, an adventurer, and above all, an American original. He's already missed. And tonight I'll be toasting one in his memory.
