I have never used BSD, but I can try to describe why I am not actively considering using it or its derivatives. My impression is that BSD has delays when opening and closing programs that make it harder to use- even with a familiar desktop environment. Although they are better for security, the consumer-facing forks/spinoffs still sound more difficult to setup and use. I think that these problems could be solved with development work and wider adoption, but I am not really on the bleeding edge of software. I am not prepared to troubleshoot on my own, and my priority is avoiding Windows software over maximizing security.

It's possible my secondhand impression of BSD is not really reflective of recent usability improvements- but that is my thought process.

Who could have predicted this?

By any measure- Bukele has been overwhelmingly popular given his mandate to combat gangs. But it has been years since he assumed emergency powers now and I do not think he is in a hurry to go back to normal.

I feel bad for them.

I am glad to hear some positive news in tech.

I wish I had business acumen like they do.

This is not a good sign for the world cup.

It's sad that the government is trying to destroy the aspects of Tibet that make it unique.

There is a lot of computing and a lot of politics, but not very much else.

It just occurred to me that I have not heard any news from the Senate parliamentarian in the past year.

Have European governments done anything in response to the GPS blocking? I hear about it from time to time, but I don't know if or how it can be counteracted.
