@winterschon Btw. I agree that Gentoo without systemd is probably one of the best approaches if you want to use Linux, but installing it and getting a ready-to-work system is real pain.

A few days ago I talked to someone about FreeBSD and the advantages I see in using it. He answered that he tried it some years ago, but once installed, he didn’t know what to do with it.

So I asked why didn’t you know what to do? It’s an operating system and you can do everything you want. I told him about jails and he replied that Linux has docker, so he sees no reason in switching to FreeBSD. I told him above bhyve and he responded that he used KVM. I told him about the licensing model and the freedom it provides but he just shrugged. I told him about the freedom of choice you have as it comes as an OS only and he told me that he doesn’t want to decide everything by himself, he wants something like Ubuntu that makes decisions for its users.

Sometimes we just have to accept that FreeBSD is not for everyone. Or are there any better arguments I should have brought to the table? And yes, I also talked about FreeBSDs init system, but he said he is happy with systemd as he never touches it. You are probably better off with an OS that decides everything for you when you just want to use it like windows.

Wanna see somethin scary?
Well, the Polish startup Clone Robotics has introduced a prototype of a full body android with artificial muscles. Although it looks very realistic and the movements are less “robotic” than those of their competitors, it looks very scary to me. (Probably because it IS so realistic)

Don’t know what you think about it, but it reminds me of Westworld and Frankenstein

@hacks4pancakes That’s really… I have no words for this. It is absolutely unbelievable. How can anyone want this to happen???

@hacks4pancakes Hate without any reason. These people don’t harm anyone, they are just there. Unbelievable that there are humans that can’t cope with it in another way than hate. Why not just acceptance? I will never understand this.

@WarnerCrocker At least you can choose a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS on it. Then you have a modern and technologically secure Smartphone with a secure and privacy oriented OS. Currently this seems to be the best choice.

@GrapheneOS @dalias Sounds to me like it’s better to avoid F-droid.

@GrapheneOS So whats your recommendation? Using Playstore instead?
