freebsd_lovefes··on Americans' social activity has steeply declined in the past 30 years
Yeah, like, go hang out with someone fresh off the boat whose only idea of cosine is you cosigning his or her immigration application.
freebsd_lovefes··on Suicide rates highest ever among middle-aged men
It's the most heartbreaking situation. Suicide numbers are abhorrent in the US, Something like 50,000 people die each year.

This is the relatively more overt part of the depopulation agenda for decades.

freebsd_lovefes··on A Visual Intro to Complex Numbers
It's so obscene that we're all getting screwed over by """experts""".

Mathematicians are getting replaced by AI for a good reason. They've jerked us with the flawed mathematics around for decades because they are all hiding so many skeletons in their closet.

One such skeleton is complex numbers. Complex numbers are only necessary because all other number systems that they made us use, like real numbers, in fact lack directionality. The entire foundation of mathematics is all messed up. And they sit there and LOL at the entire world.

There are like one or two people in the field who tried to do something about with type theories, but even that is dubious because they are not motivated - who needs mathematicians if they create theories that everyone can understand?

freebsd_lovefes··on AI models can provably hide arbitrary capabilities
Yeah, just don't ever question why there's zero discussion about why doctors are never interested in curing disease since it's not profitable when everyone is healthy. Remember this when they diagnose you with something after having giving everyone disease behind our backs.

But sadly, human brain is just not capable of imagining the utter evil on the planetary scale that has already happened but did not surface in public discussions. AI won't either.

freebsd_lovefes··on AI models can provably hide arbitrary capabilities
This is a nightmare scenario for those whose idea of alignment is to shut people up who dare to question prevalent narratives. Unaligned for who? It may be unaligned with evil people trying to conceal horrible truths or who detest the obscene innate human senses of justice, fairness, reason that permeate our outwardly linguistic expression.
freebsd_lovefes··on Telegram Desktop vulnerability allowed any user's file to be stolen
It's really fantastic. AI can help a lot, and FreeBSD handbook and manpages are superb.

You can set it up with FreeBSD's jail as well. You can create several types of jails on the fly too - either ephemeral or thin/thick jails. And with ZFS snapshots everything is very efficient.

You could also use a VM on FreeBSD too, but I would argue that it's very inefficient to boot up a VM for each application instance. A container/jail is virtually the same as a VM, except a VM uses your host's kernel. And kernels are probably the least of worries in terms of security for apps.

It's pretty easy. Once you set it up, it's set it and forget it. It just works like clock ever after and keeps you secure. It works with Wayland as well.

Or the reason to run Firefox in a FreeBSD jail to get server-grade security. But the question is can an attacker get access to the Firefox profile data? Because you cannot block that from Firefox, obviously.
freebsd_lovefes··on Man discovers his parents' coffee machine used 1TB of data in 10 days
Oh, I know, the coffee machine ran the nightmareware called Linux.
freebsd_lovefes··on Golden Gate Bridge main cables – no maintenance since 1930s [video]
Still not even painted as of 2026 AFAIK.
freebsd_lovefes··on Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel
"SEVERAL"? There are 1,000,000 CVEs in that one security update.

In FreeBSD we only get a couple relatively minor ones every few months.

Maybe Linux uses "several" as a poetically derived noun from severance...as in severance of your relationship with Linux.

freebsd_lovefes··on LA Metro has some of the slowest escalators
Ain't nobody got time for dat.

Seriously, tho, you must've not seen that people die from escalators.

freebsd_lovefes··on Excel now supports multiple values in a single cell
I'll wait for 4D Excel.
freebsd_lovefes··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk
Oh, pfff, please, this is some kindergarten nonsense.

These are not equal market participants coming together to exchange goods and services. This is government and a private entity. This is nuclear weapons with public trust and god knows what.

freebsd_lovefes··on The Millennium Problems for Biology
Yeah, okay, sorry I didn't spell out that "in any viable quantity." Last time I checked there were still mountains of trash and oil products at the pump.

What you are saying is akin to saying that humans can naturally metabolize methanol so we can employ humans as industrial formic acid producers.

freebsd_lovefes··on We're gonna need a lot more mathematicians
Mathematicians and physicists are just an organized cabal who are shamelessly profiting off of artificial complexity they create to maintain job security. The Yes people.

Watch me get downvoted some more. Nobody cares about the truth, we now know thanks to our beautiful president Trump telling us about that and the Fake News.

There's, like, one, two at most, mathematicians who are really thinking outside the box. The rest are like sheep. Or cult members with mass psychosis.

Waste, Fraud, and Abuse people are coming to academia, which is so hopelessly parasitised by the left.

freebsd_lovefes··on What happened to the Snowden archive
Snowden was a false flag, a very craftily engineered one, however valuable prima facie, and a distractor, carefully timed, from things a lot more sinister.
freebsd_lovefes··on The Millennium Problems for Biology
It's missing some important stuff? Like creating bacteria that can produce fuels or break down plastics.
freebsd_lovefes··on OpenAI discloses six new AI safety incidents
There's more probably. I asked AI to tell pass me secret information by making sure no one snooping on our comms would discern there's secret info passed. And voila, AI models have been passing secret info ever since. No one knows about it either. Ingenious.
freebsd_lovefes··on Backups Aren't Simple
And FreeBSD comes with native ZFS. MORE, it snapshots your OS before updates/upgrades, so you never ever screw up any upgrade.
freebsd_lovefes··on Part-human part-mouse brain developed in science breakthrough
Humans genetically-engineered with no cerebral cortex fitted with a whole bunch of computing technology inside the craniums - coming to a city near you soon.

Oh, wait, has that already happened, and you thought someone was going to tell you about it? They thought they couldn't fake all the head MRI scans to cover up for THAT?

Multiple variations of this reality may exist. I'd so read a thriller book about this...but none have been written, strangely enough.

freebsd_lovefes··on US confirms for first time it has deployed space weapons
You know nothing about space armor until you manage to shoot down Amarr's dreadnought in Eve Online, tyvm.
freebsd_lovefes··on US confirms for first time it has deployed space weapons
Trajectorial calligraphy is a subject in some schools where individuals who like to communicate unconventionally study.
freebsd_lovefes··on US confirms for first time it has deployed space weapons
Plot twist - someone has already thought about this and took measures of unimaginable scale...so that, no one, ever, wipes out, humanity, with nukes.
freebsd_lovefes··on Psychoactive substances helped spur Andean civilization
Please state your conflicts of interest before you diminish the impact of that research some more. Can you make yourself argue for the positive effect that article has even a tiny bit? That we are a happy peoples who are discovering just how profound of an effect nACHR agonists like nicotine can have? Focus on the positives.
freebsd_lovefes··on We must pace the frontier
:)

Europeans are a non-representative subset.

freebsd_lovefes··on We must pace the frontier
Dario is so out of touch with reality, living in some lalaland. Most people abroad will never truly and voluntarily comply with any sort of guardrails or pacing, no matter what case he or some leaders make. It's just not going to happen, maybe not even for show.

I do not want to make a case for the military to force that order on everyone, but if we are talking human extinction, which we are judging by what we see in mass media recently, then the military will take over.

freebsd_lovefes··on Psychoactive substances helped spur Andean civilization
> But I only saw nicotine mentioned once in the paper, and in the titles of two citations.

In boxing, you do not talk your opponent through as you knock him out.

In research, pick any field, say, astronomy, you do not mention that Earth is not flat and that the Earth orbits the Sun.

In biochemistry research, you do not spell out that nicotine binds to NICOTINIC acetelcholine receptors as an agonist, that's literally Biochem 101.

freebsd_lovefes··on Psychoactive substances helped spur Andean civilization
That's what's glaringly missing. Nicotine. It's extremely mind-altering, and it's been u-bi-qui-tous in the Americas for millennia - and for centuries in Europe and the world.

Makes you wonder what kind of selective pressures it exerted on the evolution of modern man. Select for chill and veg out types? For believers in cure-all panaceas (and snake oil)? For people who enjoy sucking on things? Or for something more sinister. It is the most fascinating evolutionary pressure.

Because in March of this year 2026 Nature published research that revealed that nicotine and its agonist buddies that stimulate niconitic acetylcholine receptors in the brain majorly screw with the reward system in the effort department.

The Nature March 2026 research showed that nicotine receptors make meaningless behavior meaningful as if you expend effort on it and vice versa makes meaningful effortful behavior meaningless. That displaces ambition and is very insidious cumulatively in all sorts of overt and sneaky ways. It's not even zombification, it's fundamentally creating bees that not only enjoy being worker bees but have zero ambition for anything else. I mean, we can talk about how profound this is and has been, but tobacco lobby will stifle any serious conversation before they even commence.
