Seems that you need a 'smartband' - not a 'smartwatch'.

I have used one once back in time, Xiaomi Mi Band 3 (now its 5 or 6 available probably) to track sports activities and sleep.

The good thing is that battery last for weeks, not hours :)

@lxo

Do you not understand the difference between GPL and BSD license?

In GPL - when You redistribute - You are ALWAYS FORCED to share the changes.

In BSD - You do whatever the fuck you like - real freedom - You do not have to share anything.

BSD gives MORE freedom then GPL.

@puppygirlhornypost2 @amszmidt

Yes - Linux kernel has all its 'licensing' problems because of GPL enforcement - nothing else.

@amszmidt @puppygirlhornypost2

So WHY the BSD licensed FreeBSD does not have ANY problems with including CDDL code?

Linux is the GPL bullshit problem.

@amszmidt @puppygirlhornypost2

This is what BSD code is for.

Real FREEDOM.

You will never understand that concept.

@amszmidt

You do not understand "freedom"?

I do.

I means: do whatever the fuck you want.

@amszmidt

GPL has nothing to do with REAL FREEDOM.

@amszmidt @puppygirlhornypost2

I am sorry but are you fucking blind or retarded?

While You can do literally EVERYTHING with code licensed under BSD license - you are like in chains with GPL code.

Why do You think companies like SONY or NetApp/Netflix/Apple/SEGA/NINTENDO use BSD licensed code instead of GPL bullshit?

@amszmidt @puppygirlhornypost2

> The #GNU GPL doesn't prohibit anything

Are You drunk or on narcotics?

The GPL is the MOST LIMITED license on the planed only compatible with itself and nothing more.

Why the CDDL licensed ZFS has so much trouble being used in the Linux field? Because of GPL limitations.

The CDDL licensed ZFS code runs and works flawlessly on FreeBSD thanks to the REAL FREEDOM of BSD license.

While ZFS can not even try to be 1st class citizen on Linux 'thanks' to GPL retarded status :(

@amszmidt

GPL has nothing to do with freedom ... but has lots in common with communism.

@joel @stefano

If this is production and You are responsible for the thing to 'just' work - then its probably anyway the first thing You would do anyway - probably checking for free disk space or network problems first.

Then after production is back online you have time to dig in the problem, check logs, submit bugs.

Not the other way around.

@stefano

That always amaze me - WHY FreeBSD DOES NOT use daemon(8) more - especially in /etc/rc.d startup scripts - to make sure the service is running ...

If you are curious how religions work - then this simple video will tell you all about them.

... and yes - my old quote saying 'Religions, worst damnation of mankind.' is still the thing I really believe today.

@annika

What happened on 'mastodon.social' instance?

@fu

Kinda, it required one additional battle :)

Both 'macOS' [1] and 'Darwin' [2] pages on @Wikipedia did not mentioned properly that they are both based on #FreeBSD kernel and userland.

Fixed that based on official @Apple information [3].
