There are many people who appreciate a double bang.

God’s final temple on Earth,

Honestly, I think the biggest question with FreeDOS nowadays is whether you want to use FreeDOS or DOSBox-X. That’s been my situation for a while now, and I go back and forth.

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.

Poor Ms. Oldbag.

And specifically SGI UNIX, right?

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.

They survive - even when the lawyers and programmers don’t.

The boom in commercial technology, the deprecation of print media, and a lack of old-fashioned parenting that emphasizes reading and critical thinking. That’s what happened.

Does that1 security no-no matter on a single-user system which (almost) never leaves the sight of said user? Or is that just a matter of ‘don’t do this on a server’?

Why? Simple. Young men now have to compete for the attention of women in a way that they never did. In times past, if there was competition for a woman’s attention or time, it was with another man - someone they saw as an equal, a better, or someone to be defeated. Now the competition is with the woman herself. It’s not just a matter of putting on the act of shaving, buying a suit, going to church, spending time with her instead of sporting events, and so forth - for the purpose of courtship only. Most of that could be shut off immediately after the marriage license was signed and the rest after the birth of the first child.

Generally speaking, society is applauding women for competing with men like that, and telling men that they have to ‘be better’ - while not giving clear objectives on what “better” is. Add to that ongoing social friction (especially now after the lockdowns), and the situation for many young men is looking rather bleak.

Along comes Andrew Tate (and a slew of other MR activists), who tell these disappointed, depressed guys that what they’re experiencing is not their fault (which is what they already believe, but are afraid to say). They provide clear, simple answers - do this, achieve that. And it works, especially the basic things. Why wouldn’t they listen to people who tell them that they’re not the problem? Or who tells them what they can do to solve the problem? Of course young men listen to it and heed it. But because they’re so caught up in a cult of personality, they don’t know how to speak a new, less toxic voice into existence.

Thank you, that’s a switch I hadn’t looked at. I’ll admit though, I’m on Mint, I have a nice built-in GUI that works nicely.

Um… shouldn’t it be:

sudo su;
apt-get update;
flatpak update;

Or am I missing something?

Oh, I agree with you. But the more we publicize this, the more pressure we can apply to site devs to support multiple browsers.

Report the error to the company and to Mozilla.

Public domain audiobooks, read by members of the community. It’s a beautiful thing - which is why AI scrapers seem currently determined to tear it down.

Sadly, yeah. Unfortunately, I’m not really capable of sounding the alarm, and whoever runs the Xwitter page for Librivox have not posted anything in over a year. They should be crying out for aid, but there’s crickets in the public eye.

Having looked at the forum, they seem to be under attack by a swarm of AI scrapers. If anyone can help them defend against the attack, please do so.

There’s also lishogi, if you want to learn that game.

It was down at the moment I posted, I didn’t want to push more traffic until they were back online.
