I miss desktops so much. Laptops are all trash and I hate them, no exceptions. Only reason why I use them is that I have no place where I intend to stay, and I can put a laptop or two in a bag, but not a desktop. Also, I don't use the desktops that I have because I don't have an uninterruptible power supply, and I'm sick of losing stuff from power outages. And again, if I buy one, not something that I can just put in a bag and fly with.
May never use one again, which is absolutely terrible, I basically always hated laptops. Even if I do, for a full free software system, I don't even know what I would use. The good Linux distributions only support x86, and x86 is shit. I guess it would have to be FreeBSD on POWER9 (may be the only OS that has a good repository for that), but that costs a fortune. There is also the most powerful single-board computer from Pine, maybe that's an option, but again, software may be limited, because it's fucking ARM.
And then as far as Librebooted desktops go, it's just one old desktop that is weaker than a lot of the supported ThinkPads (especially with the ones added to the list recently). Also a server board, but it's expensive. If System76 stuff is actually Librebooted, then that too is expensive as hell. May be a good option, though, $999 is bearable, considering that it's new. Though it is for the absolute lowest end. Also, I don't like the cases. Soulless, and no drive bays, so I'd have to waste money on something I don't even like. It doesn't seem like they sell motherboards separately. -

I unironically think he should be released. Like I said on the Odysee comments:
'As far as "stolen data" goes, he should not be going to jail at all, because the government and the corporations running it do the same thing on a much larger scale. If they can do it, then individuals should be able to do it, because individuals are more important than institutions. That's why rights exist, when institutions take priority, then you have a might-makes-right dictatorship, like the one that you're living in right now."
"When are they going to arrest all the people running big tech for stealing people's data through their backdoors and built-in spyware? When are the old sacks of shit running the government and the intelligence agencies going to arrest themselves for spying on people? More interested in that, that actually threatens me unlike the pudding man. Also, politicians and corporate heads shouldn't have any privacy, they should be recorded and streamed at all times and all of their movements should be monitored, because they don't believe in privacy for other people, so they shouldn't have it and should get a taste of it."
The pudding man did nothing wrong that the people that run the government didn't do much worse. Release PomPomPurin! -

Yeah, the label does not address intelligence at all. At this point, on the physical/biological side of it, it mostly means "non-standard brain that we can't categorize". But there are also characteristics that those people have in common, of course, even comparing the dumb to the smart. Some of the characteristics are also contradictory, like how some autists are more dyslexic and some are more hyperlexic (but neither are the normal thing).
I think obsessions can alter a lot too, really depends on what each person happens to get interested in, so it must be a least partly connected to whether or not reading is one of those things. Could have an effect, I don't know, I don't even remember not being able to read (but I do remember refusing to do presentations in school since the very beginning).
Also, of course, every category of person that isn't "dumb obedient slave to society", or a psychopath running that society, or a narcissist getting the population to worship the system, has to have some negative label associated with it, whether it's a problem or not. Though in this case it lost most of the negativity, probably because people started using it that way more instead of trying to fucking ban it as offensive like everything else. -

I kinda want one because it has a keyboard, and I could run Emacs in it, for portable org-mode lists, and also play some audio, I guess. No interest in phone shit, it's only neat because with the keyboard, it's more like a pocket computer. Also has those switches for turning components off, that shouldn't be always on.
Fuck those garbage DEs, though, I want a window manager, or maybe XFCE (GTK2), or even LXDE/LXQt, or even MATE (GTK2). Or even just the TTY, that may be enough for most things. Though I guess having icons and menus could be helpful so it's not keyboard-only (keyboard must be pretty small). -

Oh, I remembered that kinda wrong for a moment, but I was talking about that short before the third movie (The Pichu one: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/PK07 ). It wasn't a birthday, it was a party to celebrate one year since Satoshi and Pikachu met. That would imply that he has had a birthday since, that should not be possible without him turning 11. So, that movie Satoshi would already have been 11 back then.
Meanwhile, for his age to make sense at all, in the main timeline, the Pokemon world would have to have very long years. Many thousands of days long, realistically, probably over 10 times longer than in our world (I mean, each episode tends to be on a separate day, and then presumably there are multiple days of travel in between, so 10 times longer is actually a very conservative episode, for over 1000 episodes being only a year). So, when Satoshi began his journey, he HAS to EASILY have lived the equivalent of like, 100 real world years. I guess that's possible, considering how stupid people in the Pokemon world are. Makes sense for it to take a real world century for them to barely know how to do basic addition (subtraction may be too much, he may need 20 more years to figure that out).
Also, yeah, I heard good things about Sun & Moon, about how the story was better than before and how the animation got a lot better, but it annoyed me how he looks EVEN YOUNGER in that. Looks nice overall, though. It has good female character designs. -

That is a distinct example of one of the main categories of shitty video. Videos that have vague titles to get people to click on them just to see what they're about. Oh, the thing that the video is actually about? I don't know what it is, and I'm not gonna click that, so, whatever. Unreal Tournament is a good game, though. -

Still, it's bizarre, because the first seasons were the most popular. Even if it's repetitive, you'd expect the beginning to be subbed first, because it's the beginning. And you would expect more people to be interested in it, because it's the beginning. And it's not repetitive yet, because it's the beginning, when the show was at its freshest, when every original idea that they could have had was still unused, and when it could get away with doing more because it wasn't this massive, established, tightly-controlled franchise (that has become unbelievably conservative, in a bad way). -

Well, they're repetitive now, but back in the very beginning, not really. Personally, I only really got sick of it once it got to gen 3, but by then, the original writer was gone. Of course, I like repetition more than most, I played the games a ridiculous amount of times and rewatched the anime every chance I got, back in the day. Still, in the beginning, it was a fresh new thing, it wasn't formulaic and overdone yet, they still had original ideas (and could get away with doing them because the franchise wasn't as tightly controlled and conservative in the bad sense) and a lot of old episodes are very memorable. It was still this mysterious new world, not a time loop with no lasting character development, that lasts until it's not profitable enough to keep it going.
I think someone could maybe argue with the gen 2 portion already being kinda repetitive (I haven't seen it in a long time, and I don't remember as much of it), though even then, the ending of that was satisfying and if it ended there, it would have been a very good show overall. And even if it was repetitive, it was their first time being repetitive, and to me at least, it was still exciting, because it was their first time doing a new region, with new pokemon, and it was an actual continuation of the story, while following seasons feel a lot more detached, like rebooting a story that was already basically over, with the Satoshi and Shigeru rivalry, that was set up in the very first episode, being concluded. There wasn't much left to do. Of course, Satoshi in particular still hadn't achieved his goal, so maybe there could have been one more season, but from there, the writers changed, and no progress was made, for so long that I can't imagine many people not dropping the show at some point or another.
Anyway, I still ended up watching most of the gen 3 anime. Pretty weak. And from there, I only watched parts of it, that happened to be the cool parts of the gen 4 anime, and that was it. Also, I watched the movies up to gen 4 as well, because they were self-contained, so why not? -

Interesting video. Took a few days to remember to watch it before it was almost time to go to bed. I was more aware of the shame aspect, because that's a big thing in Japan, and also the honor and dignity ("pride") side of things, because it used to be a big thing in Europe, and I have inherited some of that. Though it was also maybe related to shame. There are historical accounts of people being pressured into dueling to defend their honor, when both parties actually didn't have a problem with each other at all. Of course, the ones that complied were cowards, and if anything they should have challenged the people pressuring them into clearly dishonorable behavior.
In my case, I don't have the diseased form of guilt that a lot of people today have, feeling guilty for things that they themselves didn't do and couldn't have stopped (because they weren't even fucking born at the time). I have felt guilt for doing bad things before, but the main influence of guilt on me is that it prevents me from doing bad things, not because of external judgement, but because I myself don't want to be someone that has done them.
Meanwhile, today, most westerners seem to have an inverted form of that. They don't feel guilty for committing actions that harm other people, they only feel guilty for not complying with society, or for resisting its evil. Guilt has been collectivized in a very negative way, people don't take responsibility for the consequences of their own actions, and don't feel bad for negatively affecting others (like, people are perfectly fine buying crap made by slave labor in China, they just keep on consooming without even thinking about it, despite having heard of it, and knowing that it's wrong). In a way, the west doesn't believe in causality anymore. I guess this is all part of the Chinification of the west.
The shame is more complicated. I definitely had a really strong and unhealthy sense of shame, growing up, that I have since been able to tame. Personal shame is something that I have fought against a lot, and I mostly won. But it's still definitely a part of who I am, but in a way it's backwards, compared to the Asian form of shame. Maybe a more western form of shame. It's the shame of being associated with a group that you do not approve of. Like my family, I am definitely ashamed of them existing and being as they are, with no virtue and self-respect. Disgust also applies. Really, the environment that I grew up in, in general, is a source of shame and disgust.
So, I don't feel ashamed because the collective disapproves of me, I feel ashamed of the collective, and don't want to be associated with it, and have moved in the direction of cutting ties and starting from scratch. Which is also not very Asian, but I'd say it's realistic, because every group currently existing on this planet has began with someone deciding that the group they were born into wasn't right for them, and making their own.
I think as usual, the ideal, is a golden mean. Balance. Dignity ("pride") has to be balanced by humility. Fear (that I do have an amount of, though I have intentionally tried to reduce it over time) is necessary for courage to be possible, and there must be a balance of the two. Without fear, courage becomes recklessness. Envy was never a problem for me, and it's purely a negative thing, but admiration for other people and the qualities that they have, and using that as a motivation to move forward and achieve your own version of that, is a good thing (it's not envy, but it's the virtuous form of wanting something that someone else has).
Personally, I'm generally moved to action more by positive things than negative. Negative "motivation" drains the life out of me, and I can't get things done. So, it mostly gets me not to do things, instead of moving me to action. That applies to negative pressure, and fear, and so on.
Of course, my position is unusual, because I don't fit in with the masses, and I'm also past the atheistic phase, and also past the churchianity nonsense that some people are going back to. Philosophizing basically led me to raising truth and fairness to godly status, while also recognizing not knowing the totality of the truth because of human limitations, so, in a way, I'm back where some people in the past were. -

File systems are a problem in general. UFS isn't portable either, even to other BSDs with UFS. Brtfs is only on Linux, ext4 doesn't work on BSD except when mounted as read-only ext2 or 3, or something. NTFS is probably the most portable other than FAT, but OpenBSD doesn't have that either. The best thing to do, I think, is to have a power-efficient file server running FreeBSD with ZFS, and then just sharing the files with your LAN, using NFS (or SMB, I guess). -

I don't know if I ever heard of XFDOS. The screenshots look promising, I'll have to check that out. Apparently it comes with Dillo, so, the web should be browsable. Even has a media player. If it could stream videos with yt-dlp, it would be pretty usable, actually.
But yeah, I'm still looking for my definitive setup. I have been doing some tests to figure out why the fuck everything is so heavy. Why even programs from the 90s now use more RAM than entire OSs used in the 90s. I want to reduce RAM usage. Would be nice to build everything with -Os, but I'm not going to use Gentoo, because I'm only willing to build my system occasionally, not every other week. FreeBSD may be good, but it doesn't support -Os.
Also, I want a system that doesn't change, for the most part. Even Debian changes too much for my tastes. And I want backwards compatibility, something that MAYBE Guix and Nix can do, but maybe appimages will be able to do as well (I think they still depend on glibc, and can still break from that being updated). Apparently Guix has this "guix pack" thing, that works similarly, and Nix has something like that as well. No idea how good Nix and Guix are for building packages from source. FreeBSD has the clear advantage there, because of the ports collection, and it also seems to just play nicer with older programs in general, and Nix does work on it. On the Linux side, Crux is one distribution that also has a ports collection. It's probably the biggest source-based distribution that isn't rolling-release. I guess I could also install Slackware and then just rebuild the things that I want, maybe, and then never fuck with them again because it's Slackware, it won't be updated again before the world ends.
Anyway, backwards compatibility may be particularly useful to keep GTK2 programs alive as they are abandoned and maybe break. GTK2 is probably the best toolkit overall. It can actually be themed, and has way cooler themes than anything else, and I have loosely compared it to FLTK, and it doesn't seem like there is much of a performance difference. -

It may be a Firefox type of situation. Saying they won't do it so that people think that this doesn't matter and won't affect them, but then after half a year it's removed from Brave too and then everyone is fucked. Of course, I'm not gonna fall for that, fuck Brave, I'll go with Basilisk. Or even webkit or webengine browser, though those lack extensions. Really, I'll stop using the internet before I accept watching fucking ads. -

I wonder what the LibreWolf people are going to do about that. Hopefully not nothing. Anyway, Brave is supposedly going to keep V2, and if this really is as bad as it seems, I assume a lot of people are going to move from Firefox to that (because it's pretty safe to say that a lot more Firefox users block ads), which is not good either. -

Predicted it. Firefox is just going to do what Google does, only a bit later. I don't know what effect exactly V3 has on extensions. Did it kill uBlock Origin? What about uMatrix? In any case, I only haven't moved to something like Basilisk yet because figuring out how to configure it to be as private as LibreWolf is probably a huge pain. -

There's no need to hurry to be conquered by China, it will happen as soon as they're done with Taiwan anyway. Not that it matters, because again, it's all a Davos puppet show. Though with America falling, the world will finally not have to pretend to care a little bit about freedom anymore, so everyone will finally be free to be forced to be China. -

Disgusting, get that piece of shit faggot off my planet. Ship him to Africa to live with his wife's children's father's people. Maybe they'll give him what he fucking deserves the next time that he shills for big pharma and the WEF. Fuck Linus Torvalds. Figuratively. If you do it literally then he might like it, and I wouldn't want that. I hate him almost as much as I hate the guy that made Linux. https://social.076.moe/url/217549
