OP implied it should be controversial

There is a separate kernel which is being written entirely in rust from scratch that might interest you. I'm not sure if this is the main one https://github.com/asterinas/asterinas but it is the first one that came up when I searched.

By the tone of your post you might just want to watch the world burn in which case I'd raise an issue in that repo saying "Rewrite in C++ for compatibility with wider variety of CPU archs" ;)

I just humour people when they tell me political opinions I don't agree with. No one ever changes their minds.

OpenRC works just fine on my PC

I find the Darwin approach to dynamic linking too restrictive. Sometimes there needs to be a new release which is not backwards compatible or you end up with Windows weirdness. It is also too restrictive on volunteer developers giving their time to open source.

At the same time, containerization where we throw every library - and the kitchen sink - at an executable to get it to run does not seem like progress to me. It's like the meme where the dude is standing on a huge horizontal pile of ladders to look over a small wall.

At the moment you can choose to use a distro which follows a particular approach to this problem; one which enthuses its developers, giving some guarantee of long term support. This free market of distros that we have at the moment is ideal in my opinion.

Rule #1 never trust your users

Yes, I find that dude to be very disagreeable. He's like everything that haters claim Linus Torvalds is - but manifested IRL.

I think generally the same but there are extreme cases like murder where a person can atone all they want but shouldn't necessarily be granted forgiveness.

Visiting Amsterdam as a Brit does typically make me feel ashamed of my fellow countrymen though.

There is also an idea in philosophy of science called "pessimistic meta induction". Basically the concept is that science is a continually evolving process where we get increasingly accurate understanding about how things work. However since science progresses by falsifying previously held beliefs we can speculate that all of our current scientific theories are technically false.

Amazing how many subjects Chomsky wrote about. I think his review of BF Skinner's Behaviourism might be his best work because it is so devastatingly well argued.

Try to live well and thrive in spite of the turmoil. Hold on to the belief that this crazy period in history will end and try to avoid getting dragged into arguments with people who have drunk the kool aid. There's no need to engage with the bullshit if you can avoid it.

Arguably there is quite a lot of horror at the centre of My Neighbour Totoro (also Spirited Away but you didn't mention that one).

The floating red shoes are a reference to a real life event in Japan that was in the news at the time where a girl had drowned.

Additionally, you could view the events of the film as taking place in the protagonist's mind as a coping mechanism for extreme grief.

Edit: Missed a few things. Apparently the destination on the cat bus says "grave" on it and there is a fan theory that Totoro is a shinigami.

Regardless of whether the news is censored, you might just find that your husband has a different political perspective to you. Some people find that a dealbreaker but personally I enjoy having different opinions to my partner. It means that our beliefs get challenged (in a good natured way) and that one or both of us get the opportunity to change our minds from an initial knee-jerk take on any given issue.

Showing genuine interest in their personality and hobbies with eye contact. Asking questions about the aforementioned hobbies.

If you ever have the opposite situation, like say you are taken but someone has started flirting with you. You can either say you are spoken for or do the opposite of the above advice and talk only about yourself, adding some petty complaints about your life in general.

XFCE would be my choice too

Last amnesty a company handed in 1.5 million machetes and claimed the compensation for them despite importing the weapons themselves in the weeks before the ban. Pure profiteering.

I hope the police have learned something but somehow doubt they have.

What I find as annoying than bots is real people copy/pasting their comments from ChatGPT prompts because they can't be arsed to formulate/organize their own thoughts. It is just aggressively wasting both their and my time. Mindboggling.

Ok going to try Thunderbird tomorrow and if it works then I'll see if I can reverse engineer whatever it does into gnus

Has anyone got gmail or outlook working via SMTP in the past couple years? I was using the former with emacs gnus and then it started demanding additional auth that I couldn't provide via a simple file, then in the past 6 months the latter stopped letting me log in.

My ~/.gnus file was like this -

    
setq user-mail-address "my.name@hotmail.co.uk"
      user-full-name "My Name")

(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nnimap "outlook"
           (nnimap-address "imap-mail.outlook.com")
           (nnimap-server-port 993)
           (nnimap-stream ssl)))

(setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp-mail.outlook.com"
      smtpmail-smtp-service 587
      gnus-ignored-newsgroups "^to\\.\\|^[0-9. ]+\\( \\|$\\)\\|^[\"]\"[#'()]")

 
  

~/.authinfo (encrypted with gpg) -

    
machine imap-mail.outlook.com login my.name@hotmail.co.uk password **** port 993
machine smtp-mail.outlook.com login my.name@hotmail.co.uk password **** port 587

  

I think I might need to start hosting my own email server because every authentication option on these services requires some extra step or fingerprinting that gnus can't provide. Maybe I should give up and try Thunderbird to see if that would work.
