What have now is worse than a gerontology.
We have Dead Billionaires Ruling like Ghouls, from beyond the grave.
1. Bradley died in 1965 vowing to overturn the Voting Rights Act.
His tax evasion vehicle, theBradley Foundation, finally "succeeded" 61 years later.
2. Bernie Marcus helped buy an election after he passed on.
48. Bernard Marcus $9,397,150
3. Scaife funded a coup attempt 12 years after he died.

"social, environmental, and economic concerns aside..." literally what concerns are even left at that point? That is all of the concerns
@hailey Well, there’s also the concern that they produce code that looks correct but is incorrect and so is very hard to review: basically the same thing that an active supply chain attacker would do.
No one wants a permanent gerontocracy: The one policy everyone agrees on.

הדיכאון החריף. אין לי חשק לכלום.
רוצה למות. או לפחות להפסיק להתקיים.
מנסה לטפל בעצמי בכל זאת.
מקווה שמשהו ישתנה בשעות הקרובות.

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... oh wait. It's not a joke.
everyone's moral values are different, so whether leopards eating peoples faces is good or bad must certainly go in the 'too hard' basket

It has been around 6 months since I switched from Alpine Linux (which is a great distro btw) to #OpenBSD. Since then I never rebooted to my Alpine install. Even though it still lives on my disk because of this one old Windows game that I want to play sometimes.
There are some downsides of course. #OpenBSD is much less snappy. It feels laggy when compared to Linux. As much as I understand it - you have a choice - either you want security or snappiness.
Hardware wise - everything works on my laptop.
Except:
1. Speakers - because of some weird reason the amp needs firmware ( wtf ? )
2. Suspend - laptop never goes out of sleep sucessfully. No display.
Now, to be fully honest - there is a driver for Asus laptops (acpiwmi) in #OpenBSD kernel tree - but somehow it is not included in a GENERIC kernel build. But I found it and modified a little so it includes "hw.chargestop" sysctl. I can work with power cable connected and battery charge never goes higher than 80%.
As an OS #OpenBSD is just splendid.
Is it for "general audience" ? Certainly no. But it is worth your effort to use it. It will pay off one of these days.
Re @vernissage
Hmm, the notifications dont work well. I see boosts and favourites, but I dont see when people comment on the photo. I have to check each photo to see if someone left a comment.
Not sure if its because only use it via browser only? When I pressed the notification settings its asking me to turn on push notifications. Cant find a way to have notifications for comments on without turning them into push? But I use mastodon and pixelfed same way (browser based) as I dont like social media apps on my phone.
@reiayanami I introduced a small fix and tested it both with comments from local and remote users. In both cases, notifications about new comments are now appearing correctly. There is no need to enable push notifications for this to work. The only important thing is that the user is not muted by us.
If this happens again in the future, please send me a link to the status and let me know which comment did not generate a notification.
Hopefully everything should be working correctly now 🙂

Cory Doctorow writes 'AOC' as if it is a three letter agency 🤣
A Gerontocracy™ "is a form of rule in which a political entity is ruled by leaders who are substantially older than most of the population." (source: Wikipedia)
