I and other FreeBSD developers are okay with that — if we weren’t, we’d be using a different license.

Indeed, ideally we could get docker on FreeBSD using the same approach as is used on macOS — automatically run (one or more) Linux VMs under bhyve. I wonder if FreeBSD ought to consider a WSL2-style approach to Linux binary compatibility, t

We weren’t abandoned by Apple — Apple never contributed to upstream. Darwin and OpenDarwin were APSL projects and never fed code back into FreeBSD. Using macOS meant we got laptop hardware that worked reliably, including Wi-Fi, running a

How is this not degenerate? You know you’re going to lose. You know the money is wasted. You do it anyway — and knowingly just pretend those first two facts aren’t true. Then you lose your money. Which you knew was going to happen.

I prefer to be left alone with my thoughts.

Yes, 100%. I don’t want to have a surface-level conversation with a stranger. I’m also never going to be rude about it — unless you are first. Just pick up on the obvious hints that I’m not super into talking.

We also don’t have to forcibly insert nanny software into every 3d printer in the first place. Not doing anything and preserving maximum agency is an entirely valid choice.

Neither you, nor I, nor anyone else here, can reasonably make such a claim.

Do you have a source for that USMC trial and that “unspoken reason”? I don’t remember any such thing at the time, and I can’t find any source for the claim.

People gleefully speed running Weimar Germany’s normalization of political violence will never cease to be amazing to me.

You might not, but military deterrence is what keeps those with auch aspirations at bay. If you prefer to be a Russian vassal state, that is a choice.

They gained absolute power through violence. The Nazi party had a private paramilitary wing — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung — and political violence was both common and integral to their rise. When the E

Germany is free to exit NATO and close Ramstein. I believe it only requires a 1-2 year notice period. The defense budget required to operate without US assistance is another matter entirely; you’re looking at doubling existing spending, plu

You’re entirely free — at any time — to leave NATO, develop your own replacement weapons programs, and fully fund your own defense. I suspect most Americans would actually be quite supportive. You’ll just have to figure out how to actually

Hitler was literally banned from public speaking for two years. The Nazis came to power through widespread normalized political violence, not speech, and banning Hitler from speaking did nothing but further undermine the legitimacy of the g

Why on earth was he legally obligated to have that discussion in the first place? Those complaints should have been laughed at and ignored.

You’re advocating for a censorship regime that would put me in jail for words that you happen to think are dangerous. Ergo, your words threaten my safety.

I included it because I think it's a counter-balance to how framing and selective information disclosure has been used to shape perception; in many accountings, you either see "five deaths within 36 hours", or just "one

Nobody said no crimes had been committed. It’s just simply laughable to call it an insurrection.

Does supply and demand apply or not? Building houses increases supply. Deportations reduce demand.

I don't say this lightly, as someone who has spent decades around drugs, and as a result, knows more than a few recovering addicts: this comes across as wild rationalization by an addict. And while 1600mg of caffeine is 4x the FDA&#x

GIFs already had animation. Netscape added an animation loop counter. For a rough idea of the complexity involved, when I wrote a GIF decoder and renderer a few decades ago, implementing the loop counter extension took me about 10 minutes.

GIF89a (1989) already supported animation; the only thing Netscape added was the ability to specify how many times the animation should repeat. They used the format’s support for application extension blocks to add a uint16 repetition count
