You know, I just realized something. Just like how you always heard people be like "I use Linux for daily computing and Windows for games", I think we're going to see an influx of people being like "I use Plan 9 for daily computing and Linux for games" over the next year or two. Kind of hard to believe we've come this far honestly

@allison@blob.cat HEY FAGGOT: YOU WILL NEVER BE A WOMAN AND YOU PROBABLY NEVER USED 8CHAN. I'M GOING TO KILL YOU

allison - https://blob.cat/users/allison I kinda doubt it. Isn't desktop Linux usage still declining?

@Twottle_Bird@poa.st Mained /32/, /prog/, /tech/, /vr/, /cyber/, /trap/, /cuteboys/. What boards did you main?

@allison@blob.cat never used it, never claimed to either. Also you're going to hell

@allison@blob.cat That would be awesome... I will start dreaming

@animeirl@social.homunyan.com Whether it is or not, it's still about as close to a standard operating system as you're going to get for a lot of stuff.

@allison@blob.cat linux is for faggot kikes, unless you completely refrain from using mainstream sites you will still get spied on

@allison@blob.cat he was too good for this world...

@Twottle_Bird@poa.st I don't use Linux out of some misguided privacy motive. I use it because I've been using it from 5 years old and it's the devil I know best by now.

@allison@blob.cat do you think so? if 9 gets too popular ill have to find something else

@allison@blob.cat you could have just said you're a pedophile who hates programs actually working on his computer but whatever 🤷‍♂️

@rats_god@social.xenofem.me Oh don't worry, it'll still be unpopular with the normies Also if we're playing the obscurity game, I can help you there :^)

@Twottle_Bird@poa.st Funny you say that, I actually got that feeling with Windows. Shit never worked and it was a pain to deal with.

@allison@blob.cat space all clogged up with child porn then

@allison@blob.cat any community that pops up to replace 9front/cat-v due to believing theyre "too mean" will learn very rapidly why they are mean when everyone comes in asking for chrome and asking people to rewrite it in rust

@Twottle_Bird@poa.st bruh you literally have no idea what network you're on

@allison@blob.cat my pedophiles = good. You are not my pedophiles, so you're bad

@Twottle_Bird@poa.st @allison@blob.cat >not using /desu/ and /christian/ back in the day Boo~

@takao@shitposter.club @Twottle_Bird@poa.st I actually did, I just don't remember them offhand.

@takao@shitposter.club @allison@blob.cat nigger I don't give a shit

allison - https://blob.cat/users/allison Already doing this to some extent with OpenBSD; I'm using it for most daily tasks. Linux is for games (mostly since my Linux box is higher-specced than the OpenBSD one, not because of OS limitations) and Zig programming (since it doesn't run on OpenBSD yet), and Windows for whatever exotic stuff that can't be done on those two.- - - - -I'd like to try other OSes but most of them lacks JS-capable browsers and some small but important QoL features... :02lurk: (Haiku comes very close but last time I checked it still seem to lack the option of encrypting the drive or even just putting a lock screen password)

@Twottle_Bird@poa.st @allison@blob.cat eh, that's probably good for hygienic reasons

@takao@shitposter.club @allison@blob.cat I'm going to find out where you live and light your house on fire

@allison@blob.cat @takao@shitposter.club allison what are the implications of telling you you never used 8chan i dont understand the social dynamics of that

@Twottle_Bird@poa.st @allison@blob.cat please don't, cardboard boxes are very flammable and I will be left without any shelter

@takao@shitposter.club @allison@blob.cat I'm also going to rape your mother

@Twottle_Bird@poa.st @allison@blob.cat >linux is for faggot kikes, unless you completely refrain from using mainstream sites you will still get spied on

@rats_god@social.xenofem.me @takao@shitposter.club IDK, I think he's trying to get under my skin. Doesn't work, needless to say

@Twottle_Bird@poa.st @takao@shitposter.club @allison@blob.cat well, I used to main /x/ lol

@supersekritacc@poa.st @Twottle_Bird@poa.st @takao@shitposter.club Oh nice! I pretty much never used /x/ but I used /fringe/ quite a bit

@allison@blob.cat @Twottle_Bird@poa.st i use it because it's comfy to use.

@allison@blob.cat @Twottle_Bird@poa.st @takao@shitposter.club /fringe/ was also cool but I never went there that much. Also lol what have I stumbled into

@supersekritacc@poa.st @Twottle_Bird@poa.st @takao@shitposter.club Some salty poast anon trying to say I'm going to hell, cope seethe dilate, and I never used 8chan I guess

@allison@blob.cat @Twottle_Bird@poa.st @takao@shitposter.club Oh lol, I mean I agree with him but no reason to shit on you. You seem like a cool person.

@supersekritacc@poa.st @Twottle_Bird@poa.st @takao@shitposter.club I just think his motives are kind of silly, like what, does he think I'm going to yield or lose composure? No lol, I just use the internet for fun and if I can share that fun with my anime avatar frens, so much the better

@allison@blob.cat Linux is getting better for gaming oddly enough every year. just wish Linux was more noobie/beginner friendly.

@allison@blob.cat I do have a T420s I installed 9front on for a lark. I'm not a programmer, but it is interesting and a fairly distraction free writing environment. Any interesting developments in the Plan 9 sphere recently?

@allison@blob.cat @Twottle_Bird@poa.st @takao@shitposter.club I feel like it's silly to try to do that to people who post here. It's like nigger where do you think we are all from?

@allison@blob.cat @supersekritacc@poa.st @Twottle_Bird@poa.st eh, that was salt? I thought it was an aggressive befrending technique

allison - https://blob.cat/users/allison

@allison@blob.cat I don't even want to know what Plan 9 is

@happymonkey@poa.st It's the one true operating system.

@allison@blob.cat from the context it is obvious that you are talking about a new operating system

@happymonkey@poa.st If by "new" you mean "developed since 1988" then sure

@allison@blob.cat by new I mean that I've never heard of it before now

@happymonkey@poa.st Ah yeah. It's kind of obscure due to AT&T never letting it out in the 90s

@allison@blob.cat @happymonkey@poa.st I remember reading some old thread where Theo de Raadt was looking into implementing some of Plan 9's more novel ideas in OpenBSD, but rejected them because he hated the license enough.

@tengumatingpress@poa.st @happymonkey@poa.st He was interested in using the Plan 9 compilers for OpenBSD so he could drop gcc but he *despised* the Lucent license due to the arbitration clauses and the fact that it defers to United States law.

@allison@blob.cat @happymonkey@poa.st I don't understand legalese, so he was probably right in being leery of it.

@tengumatingpress@poa.st @happymonkey@poa.st Specifically, US export control law. He didn't want any additional liability for if his software got used by North Korea or whoever (since he's developing and releasing OpenBSD from Canada to get around export controls)

@allison@blob.cat @happymonkey@poa.st I'll never understand the arbitrary laws forcing him to make that arrangement and I'm almost proud of that.

@tengumatingpress@poa.st @happymonkey@poa.st Back in the day, crypto was considered a munition :^) Then djb happened and one of the appeals courts ruled that source code is constitutionally protected speech

@allison@blob.cat @happymonkey@poa.st The vid's corrupted, but I remember now. Frankly bizarre it took them so long to make that decision re source code

@tengumatingpress@poa.st @happymonkey@poa.st Well don't forget, source code wasn't even protected by copyright under federal law until 1974

@allison@blob.cat @happymonkey@poa.st Nobody has ever made a compelling argument for copyright that doesn't immediately fall apart upon inspection outside of enabling copyleft.

@tengumatingpress@poa.st @happymonkey@poa.st Yeah, I view intellectual property as a spook for these reasons

[email protected] @happymonkey@poa.st @tengumatingpress@poa.st Yes, although bruteforcing didn't happen until later, DeCSS used leaked keys IIRC

@tengumatingpress@poa.st @allison@blob.cat @happymonkey@poa.st The best argument against copyright is that it is an anglo meme that was set into law

@basadeskaiser@cawfee.club @allison@blob.cat @happymonkey@poa.st True, but it also gives you the ability to tell free riders to fuck off and make them distribute modifications/derivatives under pro-social terms.

@happymonkey@poa.st @allison@blob.cat plan 9 is basically what multics was supposed to be. multics was supposed to be the successor to unix for time sharing systems back in the day. unix is such a pile of shit that even its creators admitted it's an operating system for niggers when it was relatively new. plan 9 is still inferior to other options like nonstop, openvms, and the microkernels of the l4 family. that all said i do want to try inferno clusters out if i can make it work from userspace on linux or something since it has no drivers

allison - https://blob.cat/users/allison i do linux but don't know what Plan9 is :/

@AngryHortlerNoises@poa.st @happymonkey@poa.st You have your timeline backwards, Unix postdates Multics. Also, when you said that Nonstop and OpenVMS are superior, do you have experience with either? No pressure, just curious.

@allison@blob.cat @happymonkey@poa.st "You have your timeline backwards, Unix postdates Multics." yes but it wasn't doable on the hardware of the era so they basically scrapped it in favor of unix. that's where the name unix came from. it's castrated multics lmao "Also, when you said that Nonstop and OpenVMS are superior, do you have experience with either?" not as much with nonstop but i have a fair amount of experience with openvms cluster admin. it has file versioning built into the base system and compute resources are pretty much transparent across clusters. it aged like $500 wine while unix aged like unrefrigerated milk tbh

@AngryHortlerNoises@poa.st @happymonkey@poa.st Aye. I've always heard good things about OpenVMS and it's definitely on my list of things to try soon~ ^^

@allison@blob.cat @happymonkey@poa.st the best way is to emulate it on simh with vaxmp extensions for multi-core. my emulated vax server uses 8 of the 10 host cores no problem. vms is worth it for the access control lists alone

@AngryHortlerNoises@poa.st @happymonkey@poa.st Bonus: this means I don't have to worry about licensing since you can't get hobbyist licenses for VAX anymore :^) (t. lmfgen)

@allison@blob.cat @happymonkey@poa.st hpe is fucking disgusting and actually let the vax source tapes degrade so that's why they don't support it anymore

@AngryHortlerNoises@poa.st @happymonkey@poa.st Sounds like HPE. Probably the only way most of the source survives is on fiche or through Soviet espionage

@allison@blob.cat @Twottle_Bird@poa.st >coomer boards No wonder you're a tranny

@allison@blob.cat plan 9?

@Gamercat@zefirchik.xyz Cirno approves.

@allison@blob.cat But I don't know what it is.

@Gamercat@zefirchik.xyz It's an operating system developed by Bell Labs to succeed Unix. Has a lot of unique features but I'm not sure I'm really able to do it justice by explaining

@allison@blob.cat need read about plan9
