@purrperl Except when you're bothering someone in my community, in which case I reserve the right to tell you off.

I see you're *still* going on about this, even reaching out to other trans women to get their opinion on the matter. Please just drop the stick.

@purrperl You are wrong, and the best thing you can do at this point is delete your post.

@nixCraft At the same time he probably also improved his infrastructure's CVSS score from a mere 5.4 to a perfect 10.0

In the late 90's, I chose to focus my home usage on Linux, as opposed to FreeBSD, because of the politics. The Free Software advocates back then, especially the GNOME group, were more aligned with my values. FreeBSD was what we used at work, and it was great, but it wasn't the focal point of principles in software.

It's absolutely mind boggling how things have changed. Today, I'm worried my Linux distro of choice is going to collaborate with censorious government and corporate initiatives, and as a parent I'm worried about my children's privacy using Linux in future.

NetBSD may not be able to resume from suspend on my thinkpad, but it I have no such worry about privacy and civil liberties using it.

For years the awkward entente between civil libertarian Free Software types and illiberal Open Source advocates has more or less worked out. It's clear that this entente has broken down. These people advocating compliance with identity tracking and censorship regimes, where would they have stood in relation to PGP, GPG, the Clipper chip, DVDs, and all the other fights for civil liberties the Free Software movement engaged in decades ago? With their positions today, they'd have been on the other side. We must not accommodate them. This is not a time for compromise, it's a time for principled stands.

@TheZeldaZone Good riddance, cleaning up AI edits sucks. It's real good at making edits that look okay at first glance, but half the sources are made up, the other half don't support the text, and the text itself is all misinformation.

looking through old brony art and music is like sifting through the artefacts of an ancient, yet powerful civilization.

their ideals and values are alien to us. but yet, it is clear that they poured their hearts and souls into what they created.

I never thought I'd become opinionated on init systems, but between this and AI usage on the project, I'd rather use OpenRC or something.

just saw a poorly translated manual call an extension cord a “line of prolonging” and I am totally using that now :P

in linux you can use the evil bird emoticon (:>) to destroy files, eg `:> important_document.txt`

the bird will eat the file and leave it completely empty!
