Has social media been a net positive or a net negative in your life?

All of the above... Plus maybe WW3

Feels like the calm before the storm.

Currently in "hurry up and wait" mode.

GM Who's new here?

I haven't followed new ppl in a while.

Where my positive optimists at? Need more forward looking optimistic people to follow.

Many people are unaware of BSD systems.

BSD is an authentic Unix, Linux is a clone. I will tell you that part of the success of Linux was due to the legal problems that BSD faced in the late 80's and 90's by AT&T.

If BSD had not faced these legal problems, perhaps Linux would not exist today.

The BSD operating systems are excellent, the main branches are:

- FreeBSD, the BSD system par excellence, is where more innovation in all aspects, to consider its magnificent integration with ZFS (the best on the market), its virtualization system and isolation Jails that predates docker and derivatives and its ports system (package manager). It also stands out for its performance, where in some aspects it surpasses Linux as in web servers.

- OpenBSD, the most secure operating system in the world, as it is the one that reports the fewest vulnerabilities, only followed by AIX.

- NetBSD, one of the systems that supports more architectures. Pioneer in integrating certain technologies such as IPv6, a great quality, a very well written and organized code and compliance with standards and a great file system such as BSD FFS.

- DragonFLY BSD, a great unknown but a great operating system, many FreeBSD nerds have switched to it. Hybrid kernel like Macos, Hammer file system (snapshots, compression and deduplication), LWKT (Light Weight Kernel Threads) implements lightweight threads in the kernel for better concurrency management, native virtualization in the kernel with vkernel and native swapcache.

Some fun facts that will interest you.

BSD licenses are more permissive than the GPL, allowing your code to be included in other projects and the resulting code to be licensed under other licenses, including proprietary or closed licenses.

Macos is a derivative of FreeBSD and uses many parts of it, although the core of Macos called Darwin is opensource (APSL). Macos on the other hand is a certified Unix.

Other systems that use FreeBSD are Playstation 3, Playstation4 and Nintendo Switch.

Netflix, WhatsApp and FligthAware are other examples of companies using FreeBSD in their infrastructures due to the incredible performance of their TCP/IP stack under high loads and web servers.

When Hotmail was acquired by Microsoft, they were using FreeBSD servers, no need to tell you what an ordeal it was for Microsoft to migrate their architecture to Windows Server.

Finally, the integration and cohesion of BSD operating systems are due to their development as a complete system, with the kernel and user space designed and maintained by the same team. This contrasts with Linux, which is primarily a kernel around which distributions add software and tools to form a complete operating system.

Long live BSD, the UNIX.

I think the new paradigm for higher education (college) is going to be small projects and companies.

The college system today is dead, they just don't know it yet. So, what if, instead of paying tuition to a school more interested in a failing athletics program, you just pay Calle to be an apprentice (if you want to be a software engineer). After 4 years of literately "paying your dues" you will probably know more than a CS degree at CalTech.

This would force companies to reconfigure into the education space but I think it's doable and the chances a student wants to leave after full vestment? Almost 0% unless they just suck and it's the company that says, "Hey. You're done."

This is the way education used to be not more than 100 - 200 years ago. We need to bring this back.

I am amazed at the level of mind control we have reached by governments over citizens.

All rights are being suppressed to a level not seen since the communist dictatorships and nobody says a word except for four crazy people.

- Taxes are skyrocketing, in some countries they are already confiscatory, at levels between 50% and 70% or even more.

- Total reduction and elimination of freedoms, including freedom of expression.

- Criminalization of any activity not in accordance with the postulates of the governments.

- Inflation totally skyrocketing.

- Control of all the media, with a narrative of the facts totally alien to reality.

They have never had it easier, it is very sad to think about the shitty world we are going to leave to our children.

social media algorithms are now The MainStream Media
