tux2bsd··on Analyze OpenBSD’s Kernel with Domain-Specific Knowledge
Given I didn't say the opposite what were you getting at? Is it a random statement just tagged on because OpenBSD and FreeBSD were mentioned in the same post?

For your purposes I'll keep it simple and just say "about 99.9% yes". Trust the word of a seasoned veteran - keep email clients, browsers and OSes up to date.
tux2bsd··on Analyze OpenBSD’s Kernel with Domain-Specific Knowledge
I specifically bought hardware for OpenBSD, I like the OS a lot but it is not my daily driver. I reported something incorrect on their website and was responded to very quickly with oh, you spotted that too soon that's correct on the next release, that was really good in my view (what I was doing was fairly niche, it was maybe 1-2 days before what I noticed was no longer relevant.).

I also have FreeBSD on a RPi3b, just to have it around. FreeBSD has tells that there a many fundamental things that should have been corrected years ago, tip of the iceberg. I reported a bug (258863) and provided a workaround, there was momentary interest then it was forgotten. Their forums are incredibly insular, cult like in that whatever the foundation or developers decide we side with 100% (no one overtly says as much though).

For most things I use "Linux" (Debian&Ubuntu mostly), 20+ years now. Change for the sake of change is modus operandi for the "Linux" world for some time, then that's perpetuated as it tends to attract developers that enjoy that. systemd is awful.

Wayland. I just lack interest in it. I'm not pro X either just can't be arsed.

Most people things it's a competition between various Linux Distros or BSD Flavours, I'm quite happy to use them for what they are.

> don't update it

It is an application that receives content from the Internet, your advice is dreadful. Email is a primary vector for exploitation.

tux2bsd··on Analyze OpenBSD’s Kernel with Domain-Specific Knowledge
The thing that the *BSD world have over the "Linux" world is that the *BSD community tend to produce more readable content. The "Linux" world try be more elitist within themselves, I loathe man pages because of this. (re "Linux" - yes, I fully understand the GNU/Linux bollocks).

Christian Ludwig took his complicated project, explained it in a way that completely understandable. I like that.

While the topic of BSD is at hand, if you have a sense of humour you'll enjoy this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oLuJSFZKEs

Of course it was trolling. You're not being woke, you are woke.

What does your sexuality or race or age have to do with it?
tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
I haven't lied once. I don't believe in what you believe in regarding "climate change", period.

> you have absolutely no idea what the protests were about.

Your true nature shines through.

Floyd's death was an opportune event for BLM to leverage, BLM rioters then left nothing but destruction in their wake. Nothing positive came from BLM, their legacy is hypocrisy.

tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
You may feel its trolling but it is not.
tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
That's actually hilarious. That sort of flippant moderation is rife throughout Reddit the wrong username or wrong wording - anything and they'll ban just for fun.
tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
Good for you. It doesn't work how you believe.
tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
> The "woke" insult

That's one hell of self inflicted insult if that's how you feel.

To quote myself: "Woke is used because we know who we're referring to, as do you."

tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
I'm not misinformed, I've helped you with some doses of reality but those go contrary to what you've been spoon fed and believe. It's OK agree to disagree unless you're a leftist then the other must always be derided "spiteful", "clueless", or "hate" (different thread) - all sort of nonsense like that.
tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
It is a forgone conclusion that those with extreme wealth will have prime pick of location if they need to abandon their seaside locations. I'll repeat, I'll wait for that to happen (I don't have much choice but to do that, unless you assume I'm extremely wealthy).

The BLM protests caused widespread destruction. Michael Jackson achieved worldwide awareness with Black or White, that was 1994 - things have only ever improved in the west since that time (and would have regardless of MJ's song).

> The c19 lock-downs have since lifted

Have they? No, not in the country I reside.

tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
> You don’t have to publicly blame it on "leftists" and compare it to NK.

Why not, comparison is a good way to paint picture and leftists are the bad actors in what is being discussed.

> Your kind of speech isn’t welcome here.

How very tolerant of you.

You don't have enough experience to comment, you are only commenting on what you believe to be true.
tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
Manners, being courteous, polite and as you've said empathetic - these good behaviours all existed. That took parents to teach and individuals to act accordingly.

It is a modern myth spread by main stream media that racism and sexism are prevalent. "Woke" (or "wokeness") is weaponised world view that is intolerant and dangerous.

tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
Imagine being so eager to silence other people, and resorting to dishonest claims to do so.
tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
This is exactly what I experienced.

noasaservice, you are the epitome of woke - a living meme.
tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
It's actually the inverse of what you believe.

Conservatives will help externally, very generously when conditions permit. Progressives will demand their in group be helped, to other progressives (within the in group) this looks like caring action is taking place but the shortsighted view of the situation does not see who is being helped.

Take your city example, the city will demand food while simultaneously mocking the farmer, and taxing the farmer more if he exhibits success. The farmer knows he must produce as others depend on him.

You are likely letting America's strange healthcare situation cloud your view. That situation is fucking bizarre. Everyone should have access to publicly funded emergency health care, like we do in NZ (but do not make the mistake of thinking that it is a fantastic situation here either, private health insurance has become more normal unfortunately (i.e. our idiot government is making it more like the US for healthcare)).

You're parroting the beliefs of the woke so chances are high that you're woke, I hope you can turn it around. You have a very confused outlook on life that does not match reality. I'll give you some pointers:

Climate change. Weather, been going on for all time. I'll pay attention when rich people abandon their seaside mansions.

Taxing the poor. Tax was invented for this.

The BLM movement was a farce. Nothing good came from it, period.

The c19 lock-downs took away our personal freedoms. 911 messed with travel a lot but these recent lock-downs are a whole new ball game (and the future does not look bright).

No one alive met Jesus, don't be ridiculous. He wouldn't be allowed to be a carpenter without doing safety training courses first, if he was alive. No one would nail him to a cross, he'd be on his cellphone like everyone else.

tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
You haven't said anything of substance. Interesting that you choose to use the phrase "politically correct" which is interchangeable with "woke" in modern parlance.

To quote myself: "Woke is used because we know who we're referring to, as do you."

tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
> Not everything is about wokeism.

It changed "they're" to "xer", looks like you're wrong.

tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
You prefer herd mentality, I understand. You'll change your mind if the rest of the flock decide, you avoid personal responsibility that way.
tux2bsd··on The fall of Reddit: Why it’s quickly declining into chaos
You see "hate" where there is none.
