  • Oh geez, I never realized how deep into the rabbit hole I go. But for me FreeDOS & ReactOS are just because… I was there when they were first relevant. I started with FreeDOS because of the DR-DOS scandal. I’ve never really gotten I2P to work. TempleOS is still ambitious. And I actually jumped on here because I got annoyed that I can’t use Lynx, only Links (I’m on Linux Mint).

    I only touched Plan 9 From Bell Labs when I was in or around Lucent.

    Tails USB should be in my go bag with a machine that has no HDD, XMPP/Jabber - don’t use it anymore because everybody left it for other things.

    And yeah… from there up, I have pieces too.





  • And this is why you take aggregate data and specify outliers. Whenever you work with living beings, you have to account for personality. It’s not a mutation, it’s not a factor you can control. I know some individual plants that have had traits that could be related to human personality; I’d bet that it’s even the case with jellyfish. There’s always going to be one being who goes against the norm. And frankly we want that, because without that factor, no one would advance or grow.







  • The two issues are out of scale.

    Causing intentional harm to innocents is psychotic and a fairly clear indicator that there is something deeply wrong with the person doing the harm. Having a consensual sexual encounter with a fellow adult is not (intended to be) harmful. If anything, we should be making it clear to both young men and young women that it is absolutely fine to fool around, if both parties are adults, give consent, and use protections appropriate to their shared goal (kids/no kids, LTR/one-night-stand, etc.). Yes, it’s something that should take a little forethought, but it shouldn’t be inherently taboo or shameful.
