  • You can (compile and) run almost all Linux software on the BSDs.

    Cool. Is there any *BSD-only software I would want to run on Linux? No? Then, what's the point?

  • Pretty sure that FreeBSD doesn’t support 32-bit systems anymore. OpenBSD certainly hasn’t been able to run on 486 for ages.

  • And they are very notoriously outdated in terms of software.

  • I know how it works. My point is that, if emulated software, be under a hypervisor or an ABI compatibility layer, is considered “supported”, then we could say that Windows applications are supported in Linux, but that’s not entirely true.

    More importantly, if I want to run Linux software, I would rather run it on Linux, e.g. Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Emulation support doesn’t imply full ABI or driver support.

    Otherwise, since Proton is supported for Linux but not BSD, Linux would still be ahead.

  • On the other hand, Linux runs more software than its competitors, and it’s not even close.

  • There are LTS versions outside of current.

    But more importantly, who runs anything remotely critical on a 486 these days? These machines choke to death on TLS handshakes.

  • 37 years old, to be precise.

  • Also look at animal agriculture which we also do not need

    I can eat steak. I cannot eat AI.

    1. Making code easier to write exacerbates our existing issues with review bandwidth.

    Man, so much this. LLM written code is, most of the time, both excessively verbose, and overly complicated.

    Also, I’ve found myself asking more about “why” than “how” in my reviews. Why is this loop here, why is this one liner method used only once, why do these five tests do the same thing. I’ve reached a point where I feel like I'm gaslighting myself into thinking that I'm constantly missing something, because nothing makes sense from an engineering perspective anymore.

  • I don’t want another bot engaging with the community to farm for responses, which will inevitably end up in some training set somewhere.

  • I’m just pointing out that the severity makes it a nothing burger.

    Also, not all illegal things are crimes. For instance, overstaying your visa is a civil violation, not a crime.

    If you want to troll, at least get your basic facts right.

  • Entering into the US illegally is a misdemeanour, not a felony.

  • Damn

    Jump
  • Someone give this woman a bible:

    Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.

  • They didn’t. They are active in Mastodon.

  • Is this article AI generated? It seems to wander and repeat itself instead of being well-structured like a standard three-part article (background, analysis, conclusion).

    It very much is. The same user has also been systematically sharing content from this blog across half a dozen communities.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a bot.

  • There’s always room for reasonable disagreement when the issue in question is a word whose definition contains an element of intent and is therefore unfalsifiable.

    This sounds to me that you would rather discuss semantics, than spend five minutes trying to actually falsify the term "genocide" when applied to Palestine [0] [1] [2]

    These links alone are enough to prove intent from the defence ministry.

  • AI slop is not a valid source.

    After graduating from high school, Vance enlisted in the United States Marine Corps as a private,[33] serving as a combat correspondent (military journalist) with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing.[34] During his four years of service, he was deployed to Iraq in 2005 for six months in a non-combat role, writing articles and taking photographs.[33] In December 2005, he was part of a group of Marines that held a roundtable discussion with Vice President Dick Cheney.[35] He attained the rank of corporal, and his decorations include the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal.[36] In 2007, Vance left the military and used the G. I. Bill[37][38] to study at Ohio State

    In short, deployed for 6 months, never saw combat once.
