Yes, just pull the switch. I wish people would stop telegraphing their intent and simply act on them instead.Action is what we need not the threat of acting.
Giving others warning of the available or intended actions is not necessarily a bad thing. It is right that bluffing is generally crap. But if you can and will do things in practice, warning in advance is not necessarily a bad thing.
I'm actually attempting to get OpenBSD to work on my desktop, but for some reason the installation process can not complete. It is asking for files that don't exist, and I can't use the specific terminal commands (not available in the "live" USB installer) that would fix the issue. Part of my problem is I am trying to get it all running on an AMD Phenom II x4, which is by today's standards pretty old, as well as a WiFi dongle made by Netgear from the same era that isn't even recognized by OpenBSD. I'm poor and can't really afford to get the shiniest newest things. Only recently got a $300 dell laptop w/ a Core i3 & only 4 gigs of RAM, and I was excited about getting it lol!
What do I do? Probably "save up for something that'll last at least a few years" is my guess.
I'm not terribly familiar with the openbsd installer unfortunatly :(
generally for these sorts of issues the wifi's a culprit; I was on a phenon until just 2-3 years ago too and it was still pretty well supported. May be able to bypass the issue at least during install with a hard line if that's possible; may also be able to perform the operations on the install disk you mention by modifying; most install images are just a regular install pushed into a squashfs if you mount it on another system you may be able to fiddle with what you need, but that's getting into not worth it territory.
Yeah it's above my pay grade. Just started learning Python a while ago on top of learning my way around a Linux system, don't think I'll be editing any squashfs or .conf files any time soon. Still extremely new at this.
Some of those people in twitter threads are literally furries or other deviants, which might be fine for a hacker but they are all pro-inclusitivity. They just think the SJWs are going too far...
I apologize, I am currently too busy to give you a proper reply. The gist would be that the link you give is by an author that is not being sincere at all, and only seeking to limit damage. And the furries/'deviants' frequently prioritize themselves over others or things overall, which is especially bad reg. the Linux kernel, since the kernel among many other things is used in many safety-critical and life-critical applications and thus peoples' lives directly depend on the kernel not being crap or unreliable. And "going too far" sounds like they don't mind the end result, just the speed of change and the current approach of getting there.

If everyone keeps fracturing at the rate of present fracture, someone will certainly take some action that nukes the whole thing.

switch to gnu hurd, or bsd, you don't know enough yet to feel the difference, they have mostly the same userland.
maybe haiku

Thanks anyhow. Appreciate the sentiment.

Linus would not take ESR's advice. https://voxday.blogspot.com/2018/09/trust-not-in-personality.html?m=1 Whatever you think of him it wasn't his call, other forces had more leverage.

If they don't want white straight men, why don't they create their own kernel and OS?
