  • I thought I might get questioned on it, no prob Bob. For Linux, both the kernel and the 400 distributions, I say schizophrenic they are all labelled as Linux but they can’t function together. The Arch kernel is different from the Parabola kernel, and the Fedora kernel and the kernel.org generic kernel from the Slackware kernel, The way Pllasma runs on Gentoo has been modified from how Plasma runs on Devuan. Again, they all fall under “Linux” but can function quite different and any 3rd party software has to be modified to be customized for each distribution. If a program in Debian can’t function, SUSE people might not be able solve it if they don’t know the Debian layout. The Linux eco-systems is very fractured, divided, yet all run Linux kernel, they are the same but different because they’re distributions, but run the same system but not compatible with each other, it’s schizophrenic.

    In comparison to OpenBSD, it is on group of people that develop the OpenBSD kernel, OpenBSD system files and libraries, with a single point of focus behind their engineering and design, and develop their own software management tools. Similar with FreeBSD, that there is a set team that develop the FreeBSD kernel who have nothing at all to do with OpenBSD kernel. What works on FreeBSD is not going to work on FreeBSD. And the FreeBSD team develops their own FreeBSD system files and libraries with their own FreeBSD design and engineering so that each BSD is their own standalone operating system. A FreeBSD kernel will never function or be recognized by an OpenBSD system. Porting a program to OpenBSD is not going to work in FreeBSD because the whole system is designed differently, that’s why each BSD is an operating system and why BSD does not have distributions. FreeBSD will never be able to read a NetBSD file.


  • Whats’ app, while E2EE can still pull lots of information from who you message, how often, the size of the messages, and contact’s phone number. Messenger has the content of your messages and with whom you converse according to Facebook account info stored on Facebook servers. Snapchat has a record of all activity, contacts, and message content. The messages only disappear from app but not from SnapChat servers. All 3 of those record of how you live your life, except Whatsapp can’t see content of messages but still has your activities and contact phone numbers.

    Signal was ordered to turn over user content to court and Signal only had when the user last connected to the service and date of account creation. Signal had zero information about messages, when messages were sent, or to whom.











  • If 9070 XT raytracing on ultra at 1440p without FSR comes close to 5070 Ti for $750, they should price it at $450 if they want to exclude nVidia from all considerations and conversations. If rasterization is 5080 level but raytracting is 5070 performance, they have to undercut 5070 since raytracing and path tracing is the future.

    Radeon can’t sell by only making them $100 cheaper because that lets nVidia set the market price. Radeon needs to spend 2 to 3 generations establishing a name. Even though Arc cards don’t sell at $250, that is the very reason why a few nVidia owners are following Intel releases. But Radeon selling a $1000 4080 GPU for $800 does not get people’s attention because of the performance difference at that price. But a 4080 level GPU from Radeon for $500 has the potential for some people to dump nVidia overnight.

    You blocking me does not qualify as censorship due to individual liberties. I can agree that if someone is frequently complaining about trans people, even some people who agree will grow tired of the negativity. There is a problem trying to public promote a service as an established service and attract new users, and then to say “No, we don’t allow your kind in here, you are only allowed to agree with every word we say”, that starts to look like a bait and switch scam and pushing dictatorial censorship.

    Do an internet search for “mastodon censorship” and read through 10 different search results.

    Do people have a right to disagree with you? When you comment on any subject or topic, whatever it might be, do others have right to not support what you believe in? No marriage or serious relationship can last with restrictions on personal thought. Successful marriages must have room for disagreements.
