Hear me out:

It just dawned on me: he’s doing this as a strategy to get the immigrants out by making the economy here as miserable as in their homeland. Remove the incentive. It sounds insane but….

I honestly think someone must have told him that this is the “self deport” option JD et al talk about.

And then that same cabal makes a promise of a wunderwaffen that will reboot the economy just for Americans who are in the all native-born bread lines. Resurgent US walls up and arms up while sacrificing Europe and then bigly humiliates China and Russia.

The fact that the nonsense I just typed sounds vaguely plausible is … something

Hats off to the #design geniuses at D’Addario.

This box of strings lives in Torrey Canyon and greets you nude under a caftan, holding “grass” in a clip when you come up the driveway.

And after the sun goes down and the macrobiotic dinner is eaten, she will tell you about that time in Joshua Tree when she “made love” to Jackson Browne and David Crosby.

The moments my #philosophy degree surface creates a tense debate internally as to whether I can discuss evaluating output from a model without referencing “Phaedrus.”

Dare I dream of a #GNUstep renaissance or the explosion of #interlisp at hand?

@rldane

Looking at your:

https://rldane.space/fun-with-freebsd.html

I don't see that the edits to /etc/rc.conf have anything to do with making the RC system less chatty (and less screen-filly-uppy). Is that something that you're still perceiving as working?

I put in a PR suggesting we provide RC values to squelch, but that was pretty roundly pooh-poohed on the theory that "covering up" > "not emitting." Fair enough.

But, AFAICT, there's no way to make the RC boot ups less chatty in a convenient way. Am I wrong?

I might want a big poster of this.

I’ve been working on a #freebsd from scratch blog post series and was going to skip right over Xorg (preferring #wayland and #sway)…and then I heard about #NSCDE - a reimplementation of #Solaris #CDE look-and-feel via #fvwm

Thanks to work by Christian Moerz, it was a snap. Literally `pkg install Xorg nscde` a change to my .xinitrc and I was up in a pastel bliss again. Run #interlisp on it is a beautiful joy.

I was so impressed AND I got to avoid abandonware security holes and bit rot— so I sent some librepay love. It’s a great project!

@interlisp I was thinking I wanted to create some #Medley #interlisp merch! I've been working with a talented vector artist recently on another project.

Are the copyrights such that I could make some?

I'm thinking white front trucker cap, black bill, black mesh in the back, medley logo on the front, centered with a raised fabric border? Sounds gorgeous … and much more interesting than my Debian swirl hat.

OnThisDay, March 20, in 1413, Henry V took the throne of England upon the death of his father, Henry IV (depicted in The King, 2019)

Honestly I don't think Fidel Castro, or even Putin, could have messed up Marco Rubio as bad as Trump seems to have. Rubio has been hollowed out of his personality and new programming has been installed. You get a strong stench of Reek just looking at liddle Marco these days, amiright?

I hear you like dialogs and property sheets, so here goes. This is the TEdit rich text editor of Medley Interlisp with an open document and the free menus (i.e. dialogs) for controlling text attributes, paragraph formatting, page layout, index and TOC.

Can anyone place this album/singer? I think it's a #swedish #indie #music artist. I snapped a screenshot years ago....but forgot to follow up. Sadly, the image is very light, but it was a pretty striking B&W so it still looks good.

My little boy loves #space and especially #neptune I recently saw a great animation showing the solar system as “falling” in space. It was so great but somehow I lost it. If anyone knows where to find it online, you’ll make his day (and his dad super happy).

I got some great #retroprogramming books: Essential #lisp, #hypercard , and #latex.

Is there a good #hypercard emulation environment? Honestly, the pictures of gorgeous system 7 (I think) menus will be more than worth that books’s price. Excited!

So here’s my #foss heresy: tl;dr #freebsd‘s mascot, Beastie, holds it back.

I have a #debian swirl hat. People ask me about it at the playground with my tot, admire its artistry and are generally curious.

Show up with (adorable) vintage devil like wouldn’t be out of place in a water’s edge tattoo shop swag; or show up with the very cool white/red orb modern Beastie and you’re explaining you’re not a satanist, the European roots of “daemon,” etc.

You’ll get dirty looks at the playground.

You’re explaining. That means you’re losing. That means a pretty awesome OSS product is losing.

I have had Debian and SuSe and Sun shirts. I have shelled out money for swag to help Debian. But I can only choose between Beasties or FreeBSD logo-word (which let’s be honest looks like a BDSM group).

So. Yeah. There’s no swag-wearing advertising I can do to help a product I really love. It’s an unnecessary own goal.

No one has to explain Tux or his product. Friendly, belly, penguin and oh wow yeah Free OS!
