@quixoticgeek@social.v.st Asa FreeBSD user and developer I guess that is why we are seeing more Linux converts switching to FreeBSD. We do not have systemd nor do we allow AI slop.

It's a little known secret but the Internet was invented so we could pass cat pictures around faster.

Random thought. Sure there are no algorithms to herd us into us vs. them but we still self-select into groups. OTH communication is important. I am reminded of Meghan Phelps.

"But Twitter also opened her up to the opinions of others, outside of the Church. Megan got chatting to a man from South Dakota, known as CG, and before long they were playing Words with Friends together every night. The weeks and months passed and her online opponent would ask questions about her community and doctrine, and she would respond. In turn, she learned that his family was of Norwegian descent, and he was tall with blonde hair and blue eyes."

Some of you folks can do this I cannot.
