This morning I convinced another friend to work together on some documentation online at https://typst.app

@nuintari Let me know the day you can't build your own kernel, a custom install image, or something that truly affects usability. Because the way I see it, if having a graphical installer and a GUI helps FreeBSD gain more traction, users, port maintainers, and funding, that would be a compromise I’d be willing to accept, even if it affected me, which it doesn’t.
@stefano @glitzersachen

@nuintari YMMV, and your or my priorities don't have to align with the rest of the world, and that's a good thing
@stefano @glitzersachen

@nuintari IMO, the foundation is just responding to criticism from FreeBSD users. Development and attracting more users couldn’t happen without improving laptop support, which includes better WiFi and optionally a GUI.

@stefano I can't wait for FreeBSD 15+ to include a live KDE option. People are going to go crazy.

Client: The IT department at our headquarters has reviewed your report and insists that you must include a dual ISP failover setup.

-- At the address of your new offices? Over fiber? That doesn’t make any sense.

Client: Look "kid", we’re a big corporation with offices all over the world, we know exactly what we're doing and what we need. If you're not capable of delivering, we have no problem finding someone who is.

-- (5 seconds pause) No problem. It’s been a pleasure working with you.

Now let’s wait and see how long it takes them to realize that in the part of the city where they’ve chosen to open the branch, there’s only one ISP with its own infrastructure, and all the others piggyback on that same one.

Unpopular opinion: Humans are an invasive species.

@stefano All jokes aside, wouldn’t a proper accounting department question an unscheduled or unbudgeted expense just because the invoice says "pay now", specially without any warning?

@stefano That's only dangerous if a potential victim has 20k spare change laying around
