Don't let anybody tell you you're not humpable, because you're bumpable, I hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.

The fake crises he invents all sound like cheesy horror movies:

"convicted illegal alien murderers on the loose"

"cannibal zombie vampires from outer space"

Straight out of the fascist playbook; invent a boogyman that most reasonable people would dislike, promote violence and discrimination against this boogyman, then color all your opponents as boogymen.

You're not wrong, Walter...

And you sir, are you ready to receive my limp ballot?

I've only recently started using FreeBSD, however my experience has been positive so far. I also get overwhelmed with all the different options and choices in a typical Linux installation. As a new BSD user, it is kind of nice that there's usually only one way of doing something, or one utility for a task. I mainly use Arch Linux with a minimal desktop environment (i3wm), so I'm not real concerned with fancy desktop environments. On FreeBSD I just use vanilla Gnome; it looks and feels the same as on any Linux distribution.

I've never had any compatibility issues with BSD, though I've really only used it on one laptop so far, and it's a rather common, mainstream model (Dell Latitude E7270). It seems to support graphics drivers for all the major brands though. The most striking thing about FreeBSD for me is the range of hardware that is still actively supported, including ancient machines that really have no use except as a retro hobby. I have a 32-bit PowerPC Mac that I will soon be attempting to run FreeBSD on, just for fun.

The FreeBSD documentation is also exceptional; on-par with Arch's documentation. About the only downside I've encountered is that I need some software for work that has no binary package under FreeBSD, and that building from source would be a big undertaking. I would have to figure out how to build several large projects and then actively maintain them on my own, which I'm not willing to do yet. When I get those to work though, I would seriously consider switching from Arch to FreeBSD.

What a little shit.

Some of those that work forces, are the same that scratch couches.

The fact that billionaires hate her tells me she's doing a good job.

There's also the email that could've been a "man-up and make this inconsequential decision by yourself, Dave"

Nothing profound here, just need to vent: I haven't used Facebook for several years now, but I just got my 10 year old son a Meta Quest 2 and had to activate it by linking to my Facebook account. Just two days later I got a warning that the account will be locked because they detected that a child was using the Quest with an adult account (maybe because of the types of games he was playing?). My options are to either make him his own, restricted account (requires a credit card for verification) or prove that I am in-fact an adult (requires photo ID). No fucking way is Facebook getting either my credit card or photo ID. This is some sorry attempt to extort even more personal info from people. I can't understand how so many people tolerate this. How is this company still in business, let alone worth half a trillion dollars? If I had known how bad things have gotten, I would never have bought their VR.

 

It's a tarantula, obviously.

A few months ago I saw a funny story about a guy who added generics/templates to JavaScript (or maybe TypeScript?) by using runic characters that look like angle brackets to enclose the template parameter, then using a preprocessor to convert the runes, etc. to actual, legal types before compilation. I can't seem to find it anywhere; hoping someone knows what I'm talking about.
