The evil dominatrix demon from the God Hand in Berserk. I believe she’s called Slan.

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.

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.

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

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 "[email protected]"
      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.

Recreate the setup of Training Day and see how many people become dirty cops because they get finessed by Denzel Washington

The metal gear solid thing where you clone someone into two separate people but one gets all the recessive genes and the other gets all the dominant ones

Yeah it would devolve to being like people with freckles or something utterly superficial eventually

This is happening next year. It’s called the “enhanced games” or something.
