Pretty amazing investigation.
Terrible, terrible title though.

#OpenBSD 6.4 is special, with kernel commits from myself. Those are pretty rare beasts.

Being 700+ pages does not excuse a 70 page preface. At least call it a historical introduction.

F-Droid
We are looking for more maintainers for specific apps in #FDroid. Here is a list of some that would need some love:
* GNU #Ring
* #VLC
* #Fennec
* #Vespuccio
* #GhostCommander
* #LinphoneIf you know how to build software in general, no particular Android experience is required. This can be picked up as you go :)
All of those already have working recipes available but all of them also have quirks that require manual action when updating.
Please get in contact, if you use one of these and are interested!

Oh wow, #DuckDuckGo seems to be getting lots of visitors lately :blobsurprised:
https://duckduckgo.com/traffic
I guess it is possible to make popular #alternatives if they're as user-friendly as the site they're replacing.

Life pro tip: before trips, make a packing list note weeks in advance. Add to it the moment you think of new stuff - don’t try to make it perfect on the first draft.
And then - then! - make the last item in the list:
[ ] Add all the things I forgot to this list for next time
so that you don’t forget the little details that drove you nuts. Miserable without your own pillow? Put that on there so you have a template for next year’s journey. WiFi router for the hotel? List it.

Do you know about "Million Short"? A search engine which removes the top 100/1k/10k/100k, or million most popular sites from the results.
An interesting idea to explore the less popular web

The research fairy, but spooky
If I was going to write a dystopian future story, I legitimately think "Evilcorp" would be the most realistic name for a company that the villain would be the CEO of
Techbros love to make playfully ironic names for their startups that literally tell you in the name itself that it's a thing to be avoided
E.g. Palantir, Soylent, Death Wish Coffee

The research fairy, but spooky
I forgot:
* Mechanical Turk
It's for people who want members of racial minorities to still be paid exploitatively low wages, but they don't want the actual workers in their field of vision because they're good liberals whose consciences would be bothered by that, so here's a pre-made apparatus for pretending that it's just a robot that's doing the work
"Nobody here but us robots"
"Beep boop"
Love the ironic name

‘Surveillance capitalism has led us into a dystopia’
https://www.bbc.com/ideas/videos/surveillance-capitalism-has-led-us-into-a-dystopia/p06p0tdy
The BBC will be releasing this short BBC Ideas piece tomorrow morning but you get a sneak peek because you’re on the fediverse ;)
PS. Note to self: learn to stare less intensely at the camera and blink more.
