Something... something... freedom.

There are programs which replace the network calls with SOCKS routines. The currently recommended one seems to be: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git

I heard the owner on the radio today. Seems like a cool human.

No one who's seen a few immigration hearings in the US holds any illusions that the US is upholding its international obligation to accept asylum seekers.

Real "out-of-touch gentry telling starving folk to eat cake" vibes.

Great piece!

Well, it's not enough, but it's better than nothing. I hope we see more of this in the future.

That's when we get eminent domain'd by the US.

OpenBSD is a great desktop. If you can't live without some proprietary shit, you're going to have a bad time.

I prefer doing most of my work on OpenBSD. I have a windows machine I can use for some garbage I am forced to use and the occasional game. Mostly I will VNC in from the OpenBSD machine.

I think we should normalize using a system that does 80% of computing tasks very well and delegating non-optional stuff to a secondary device. I don't think there's a 100% one-stop shopping solution to a problem as diverse as "desktop utilization patterns".

I'd frame it along the lines of: Scientists only talk about what they can prove.

This standard is higher than the opposition, which will publish "shower thoughts" as "evidence".

If you talk to scientists (off the record) about what they think is likely the case, that's where you get more dire commentary. They've been trained to hold back, nothing nefarious... but also not helpful in the current media climate.

Quakecon!
