@EvilSandmich @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @thefinn Sounds reasonable to me. Add to that, that I believe an explanation of the US innovative and industrial wonder is due to genetics.
The ones who could work and innovate left europe, where kings and corruption ruled, to a country where this was not entrenched. Fast forward 150 years and it's the wealthiest country on the planet.
Sadly this advantage has been diluted quite a lot the past 50-90 years or so, I fear.
@shortstories I go with Jordan Peterson on this one. Women are always looking for someone better than them who can contribute to the relationship and take care of them when they are vulnerable during pregnancy.
By going through university, the pool of "high status" males shrinks, and therefore fertility plummets.

@thecasualcritic @jon What is the problem with it?
I press my menu button, I type "wr" (the beginning of the word write) press enter, and then I write in something which looks 99% like microsoft word before they messed up the GUI with the strange "bar".
If people think this is too much, and if people refuse because the icons are not in the exact same position as in O365, again, people will _never move_ and they show they do not care after all.
@IGVazquez @opensourceopenmind @jon @Vivaldi Chrome I cannot touch, because it is a control and domination mechanism created by Google.
No one should use it, because using it means contributing to establishing a mono-culture on the internet controlled by corporations.
While waiting for ladybird, I reluctantly use Librewolf, even though it is based on FF.

Okay, #NetBSD on main computo, attempt no 2. I was able to get 1920x1080 resolution thanks to wsfb and gop. I need to accept that fetchmail is not going to work, but I would like to ask for your help.
(1) I am looking for GPU which will work out of box and give acceleration to web browser and tetris. I am going to review bsd-hardware.info and dmesgd.nycbug.org, but if someone is aware of good card I will happily take any advise. No new cards, no big power usage, HDMI. Currently I have RX550
(2) If anyone archives e-mails on own computo, could you share what software do you use for that?

@bpl 2. I use an email provider that support smtp and imap. Then I use mbsync to archive all my email in Maildir format.
I use alpine (tui) to navigate my emails and it works great. Currently there's 100k or so emails in there, and my mail client uses a few MB of ram.
@reverend Ahh... then I understand. I imagine that music, like sport, is a profession where the largest amount of money accumulates at the top, and then the available money rapidly declines from there.

@Limdwe @secrectml Which fruit has this vibrator?
@catturd2 This is the truth. Sadly today, the media and the left are on the same team. It is extremely important to dismantle the leftist media platforms, and conversely, to strenthen the media on the right.
If not, the US will end up like sweden, which will be minority white in a generation or two.

Trump should boycott every fake news outlet that didn’t show his speech tonight.
That includes zero interviews for the remainder of his presidency, and every “journalists” kicked out of the White House press room, again, for the remainder of his presidency.
@sun With a negro playing the role of a white woman? Not a chance. And no, I'm not watching historical dramas with a negro playing the king of england, or an asian woman playing the british queen.
@reverend Art? I do not think that art is what is lacking. Look at FB, it is 99% excrement. I think the reason is marketing and money. If mastodon had as much money as FB, and spammed the world with commrecials, and paid Samsung and Apple to be the default app, then the nr of users would increase instantly from millions to hundreds of millions.
@toiletpaper @kumicota @kernow @subnetter @sun Excellent reasoning!
@opensourceopenmind @jon @Vivaldi impossible to do anything with them these days due to red tape and administration. Therefore I always turn down their requests when they ask me.
@opensourceopenmind @jon @Vivaldi Mozilla has sadly selfdestructed and gone all woke. Their CEO also earns disgusting amoungs at the expense of the programmers.
I suspect that the downfall of FF is due to the high salary, which has turned the organization from software to becoming a prestige job and a place for power accumulation.
Sadly the same goes for the linux foundation. They have become completely preverted by corporations, so it is basically
@opensourceopenmind @jon @Vivaldi Family members is not a problem, because if they want my help, Linux is what they are going to run. =)
Beyond family members, the only ones I have ever met who do run linux are highly skilled technologists, and they are far and few in between.
As for vivaldi, I think it would be great if they could sponsor https://ladybird.org/ to use their browser engine.

Fortunately the weaker sex always fails in this, since they are too empathetic and are really optimized, by nature, to be caring and emotional at heart.
That is why militant feminists almost always end up bitter and lonely. But at least they are removed from the gene pool which is good!
