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.
It is an application that receives content from the Internet, your advice is dreadful. Email is a primary vector for exploitation.
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
> 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.
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."
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.
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.
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.
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)).
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.
To quote myself: "Woke is used because we know who we're referring to, as do you."
It changed "they're" to "xer", looks like you're wrong.
