Could you be more specific? Maybe open an issue listing points for possible improvement?

What are the perceived issues?

And homunculi such as Mark Zuckerberg.

Time flies! Two years already since that video.[0] Anyway, to answer your question: He's a billionaire.

"KeePassXC asks us to be skeptical of them if we are skeptical of LLMs.[0] This is a convincing argument. A password manager doesn't need 300 regular contributors armed with 14 LLMs; it just needs to do its job, be stable, and be ported to Qt 6 already.

"We are a small group of engineers with extensive open source maintenance and information security experience, and we forked KeePassχ from KeePassXC 2.7.10, the last release before the advent of the LLM policy linked above. We like using a robust, secure, and trustworthy password manager, so that's what we'll focus on. Anything on top of that is a bonus."

He created a throwaway account to ask the question without linking his profile to his identity, slipped and replied with the main account, then ran damage control.

I hope he'll take from that he isn't very good at the Jason Bourne stuff and, as "it takes one to know one," seek further confirmation about who paid a visit to his place.

I'm sorry, I really do think you should let the police handle the "who was that guy" angle before moving on to the technical one. It would take more than "drove a Mediacom truck, showed an ID and knew my address" before I concluded the guy Mediacom has no record of sending, and whose behavior violates their policy (and common sense), absolutely must have been either Mediacom or Jason Bourne.

Mark Zuckerberg and such?

Posts such as yours — "most jews..." — help push forward the narrative that anyone critical of them is antisemitic.

> And the US could easily just keep destroying every asset in Iran

Could — and even more so: could easily — in an "if ifs and buts..." sense or materially? Wouldn't they run (weren't they running) out of resources? And having reached the point in which progressing with the destruction of assets requires killing the people encircling those buildings, standing on those bridges, wouldn't a new leadership be committed to revenge nevertheless?

In short: Deduplication efforts frustrated by hardlink limits per inode — and a solution compatible with different file systems.

Never mind rethinking Copilot entrypoints; are users still forced to have a Microsoft account "for their own safety"? If so, the company isn't making much of an effort to deceive.

I'm replying to this using Hacki. Glider has treated me well too. Both are available on F-Droid.

I'd go for the discussion on Meeks' post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47599305

> The community makes the system and decides what’s tolerable. That is to say, the community decides the type of users it expects to serve.

Sure, but the community isn't the system; it may inform the direction the system will take, but there isn't a 1:1 equivalence between their respective qualities at any point and across different levels. I made a statement about the OpenBSD community, you implied I was doing a disservice in making such statement about OpenBSD, so I pointed out the distinction.

> When your own example of laziness is to provide a script

We seem to be having different conversations. How did you get "provide a script and someone fails run a script" from "foisting onto others the responsibility for the effort required by what we want to accomplish"?

> So while I agree it’s not a terrible community, I also wouldn’t say it’s inviting.

So... We're mostly on the same page? I opposed someone's claim that it was "notoriously terrible and unwelcoming to newbies." I disagree on both counts. I didn't claim it to be inviting, however, which I find distinct from welcoming: I perceive the former as indicative of an active effort or the desire to attract new members or of is being perceive as attractive from the outside.

> I mean, it’s not inviting to newbies either; which is the plain reading and understanding of “opposite” of what the OP stated.

It's a community that can help a newbie grow in different ways; to increase in knowledge and refine the craft; to be demanding on oneself and to take criticism; so, I find it the opposite of "notoriously terrible."

It accepts anyone interested in learning and willing to make the effort to learn. The community cares about OpenBSD; someone likewise interested in OpenBSD won't be turned always due to politics. So, yes, I find it welcoming.

Is it for everyone? What is? The barbecue club may be the most welcoming place on earth without its being the best fit for a vegetarian.

> Instead it’s “tolerant”, a term which for some reason you don’t seem to like.

I don't see how my preferring my own choice of words over a proposed alternative is indicate of my having something against the latter.

You may want to consider how often, and specially how seriously, you engage with different viewpoints if your first reaction to what looks like is to suppose a mistake and the second is to assume a personal limitation.

> I’d ask if you’re Theo mainly due to the strange back and forth we’re having over semantics and a concern over the OpenBSD community reputation.

Someone commented. I disagreed. You disagreed — on semantics. I expanded. You pushed. And so on. I'm not seeing any of this as some battle for a community's reputation. It's just a discussion.

> What do you consider laziness?

In this context, what I expanded above as foisting onto others the responsibility for the effort required by what we want to accomplish.

> Why do you believe pointing to the manual is newbie friendly?

To the documentation, which may or may not be a manpage; as it's usually done in response to a request for the information contained therein, I do find it reasonable.

> OpenBSD serves an important niche, but to brand it as newbie-friendly does OpenBSD a disservice.

We're discussing OpenBSD's community, not the system itself.

> Or perhaps you mean newbie tolerant?

I meant what I wrote, that I find the community to be the opposite of "notoriously terrible and unwelcoming to newbies," by which I do not imply newbie-friendliness in a kindergarten sense.

What is? No coddling? Little tolerance toward laziness? Zero toward entitlement? That's closer to the opposite of being patronizing, I would say.

They point to documentation in response to the kind of request I've seen closed with RTFMs elsewhere. They'll expect one to read it, and try one's hand at whatever one is trying to accomplish — and they'll feel slighted by a refusal, given how much work they put into it.

And yet, they go to great, unexpected (given the fame) lengths to help someone actually making the effort; they don't try to put anyone down in order to feel bigger than they are, but they don't sugar coat things to appear more likable either.

In short, no, knowing what one is doing isn't a prerequisite; it's more about not foisting onto others the responsibility for the effort required to move from where one is to where one wants to be — whether in knowledge, maturity or tools.

I'd count it as one in the general sense I'd count the style(9) manpage as another, not in the specific sense I indicated I was referring to:

> ... fine without a code of conduct — in the sense bakugo employed "code of conduct," not in the generalized sense ...

I find it just the opposite. I can think of few communities nearly as patient or welcoming to anyone who's earnest and willing to put in the work to learn; true, there's no coddling or hand-holding, and, indeed, it tends to be very direct in calling out foolishness or laziness, and can reach epic proportions when it comes to dishonesty or entitlement, but nothing which can't be processed by emotional maturity, nor the gratuitous pedanticism-fueled browbeating often seen in some I-use-foo-btw open-source communities despite their shiny CoCs.

Time, I would say. First, there's the sense that the poison will produce its effects, revealing itself in hindsight; of course, we'd rather catch it before it does, but that isn't always possible, and the best we can do is to limit the damage and apply an antidote as soon as possible. Second, time brings experience, which allows us to do that, recognize symptoms, early one and, with enough of it, enable us to do the closest thing to identifying it before it causes problems, by identifying patterns, comparing a potential skill with other skills which had turned out to be poisoned — hype can be a good indicator. I wish I could give you a set of rules by means of which you could know for sure beforehand, but I really do believe that this is a domain for heuristics, and subjective ones at that — insofar as a skill can be professionally valuable, yet dreadful at a personal level.

Thank you for such an inspiring reply.

OpenBSD, a rather more complex project, seems to be doing fine without a code of conduct — in the sense bakugo employed "code of conduct," not in the generalized sensed you conflated it with in your non sequitur.

> For the same reason the US is not using it.

Not quite. To be sure, that's the reason some go the extra mile, make odd sacrifices; but that comes on top of "the special relationship" in the US. It goes beyond [0] the usual "geopolitics."

"Civilization" measured by prisoners sodomized with cutting objects or starved to death? And where does "country" give place to illegal occupation?

But because God supposedly told them so, which should bring comfort to every "Amalek" out there.

Experiment-with-teenager-mental-health Meta used the save-the-kids cry to lobby and push for age verification; however much or whatever they stand to lose due to the expected consequence of their approach, they certainly expect to be more than compensated for it — by the time any kid is old enough to join, the company we'll likely have acquired their IDs and data from ten different different breach forums and have the a fully fleshed out psychological profile ready for them.

I apologize for failing to patronize your intelligence so you wouldn't read in my message what I didn't write.

A regurgitation of the zeitgeist can be a useful sample of the zeitgeist, leading to insights perhaps completely different of anything the author might have meant to convey; accounts coming out of nowhere to criticize or defend it may be a random occurrence, but also indicative of something special — by which I do not mean quality or uniqueness — about or within a piece to override a default stance of ignoring related output — something I do whenever Altman et caterva open their mouths, for example, and would have done about the piece we're discussing, for the very reason you pointed out, if not for the reactions, including your own, which came across as emotional, an impression now corroborated by your reply — and perusing a text of the Gawker-level quality your contribution implied hers would be is too easily and quickly done that it becomes, at its worse outcome (no value accrued), just as valuable as your own, implied, approach, but with a chance to provide some value — here, now, thanks to you, for example, I've learned a little more about Hacker News.

In short, I couldn't care less about Spiers, she can take a one-way trip to Mars with Bezzos for all I care, but I do care about reactions such as yours – and whatever it is that triggered about my reply, you put it there yourself.

Not about the specific piece, however, which was good enough to sprout accounts to denounce it.

Maybe they infiltrate a supply chain to produce explosive pagers, with the hope it will explode on their targets and do so without harming innocents.

That's the issue with their transitioning into Microsoft: if they say "the sky is blue," it's received as a random binary stream, meaningless except for it's goal of bypassing privacy protections and selling my data to scammers.
