06.02.2025 17:34 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Hi Ben. I'm glad that you're a fan too then. I too have a number of servers, workstations and laptops running FreeBSD. I don't seem to need the suspend mode(s) which you refer to for my laptop work. Anyway, have nice day.
24.01.2025 17:15 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Hi Ben. Oh gee, that's a pity. I wish you could find a way to not give up on FreeBSD just yet. I say that because by now, I feel both emotionally and practically invested in FreeBSD.
24.01.2025 16:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Hey Stefano. Way to go. And thank you.
24.01.2025 10:18 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Hi Dan. Notice that I just noticed that you noticed that nobody noticed.
24.01.2025 10:14 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Hi Zoggins. I think you might be incorrect. These days, FreeBSD by default ships with 'dma' only. Could it be that you inadvertently installed Sendmail and Postfix after your basic installation of FreeBSD?
24.01.2025 10:12 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0As always, awe inspiring, thank you. Skylar, looking at veritable swath of stars in your photos, may I ask, if you had to guess, would you say there is an abundance of life out there?
23.01.2025 17:54 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Bravo to you, sir! This is why I have largely left Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., and why I like Bluesky, Firefox and FreeBSD, and avoid using cloud services.

22.01.2025 10:54 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Hi Lawrence. Have you considered LaTeX? I use it exclusively.
21.01.2025 04:03 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yes. Bravo!
21.01.2025 04:02 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Thanks for that. That's a pity with your laptop. And perhaps unlucky too. I've had quite a few laptops over the years with Wi-Fi, all running FreeBSD. Anyway, I heard that the FreeBSD Foundation is funding work to improve Wi-Fi support in FreeBSD. Take care.
19.01.2025 17:26 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Hi grover-righter. Check out my recent post which begins with, "Why I'm a fan of FreeBSD." I used Linux for many years. Now I only use FreeBSD. I dunno, perhaps doing so just makes me feel happier.
19.01.2025 14:39 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0So interesting. Thanks for posting here on Bluesky, Skylar.
14.01.2025 03:01 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Cool, thanks.
14.01.2025 02:41 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Hi Sandra. Please don't be so angry. In your anger, please don't block.
Yes, it did occur to me, but the article never said that is the reason she accepted the job offer.
Us "'well actually' reply guys"? I think promoting non-misleading reporting is essential if we are to not misinform. Not so?
Well written article, thx. Just to correct one mislead. Peter moved his family not because he "extrapolated from the data," but because "[i]n 2022, [his] wife was offered a job in Durham, N.C.," as he stated in the article.
10.01.2025 16:46 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 04. If it was you being accused, falsely or otherwise, how would you like "public moral opinion," as you put it, to be established?
09.01.2025 16:23 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 03. Statistics on "not reporting rates" do not apply here because a case *was* reported here. As in all things, the application of statistical data requires careful circumspection.
09.01.2025 16:21 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 02. The article you cited put "false reporting" at between 2% and 10%, and was based on only a single specific study of cases reported at universities, with a sample size of only 136.

Hi Capplestein. Thx. 1. Your concluding sentence there does not follow from the assertions in your preceding sentences. The maxim, "innocent til[l] proven guilty," must of necessity also apply to "public moral opinion" if we are serious about not spreading misinformation. Are we?
So many people here crucifying him before he's been found guilty or innocent. C'mon Bluesky people, let's not judge prematurely. Be fair!
09.01.2025 05:17 โ ๐ 9 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 0Utterly shocking! We should be ashamed of ourselves that we can treat other sentient creatures in this manner.
07.01.2025 00:39 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Do you offer FreeBSD virtual machines? Your website seems to mention Linux only.
04.01.2025 12:26 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yes! Bravo.
04.01.2025 01:15 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0FreeBSD needs to be placed in that chart somewhere. I have built much of my life around FreeBSD and its venerable UNIX heritag. And yes, I do have a life!
03.01.2025 13:26 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0FreeBSD touches almost every aspect of my day-to-day days. So thank you.
