room for another managed service
limited capacity to engage on a technical level
impact existing in this space at an institutional level
museums, NGOs, charities
previously given value to sites like Twitter and Facebook
not going to want to deal with running a heavy Rails/Postgres app

not a push back form my part
simply stating that there are already companies providing this
We have been thinking about this for a long time
at the moment
do not feel we have the resources to propose such hosting
definitely see the value
struggling on the development side
On the board: A Twitter co-founder and a blockchain bro
continue to see if there is a way to make it happen
potential for drama
people already have their pitchforks out
if a few of those forks can shovel popcorn in my direction whilst I sit in the back row and watch the show

so paranoid and weird
this should be viewed through a more pragmatic lens

computer nerds. Which is a small group of all people.
Aren’t we all computer nerds?
the rest of mankind probably doesn’t care at all what the word distribution means
unpleasant emotions (and they're all unpleasant but joy) are invitations to figure out (or remember) what is really important to me,
decide what to do with the situation triggering the emotion
REVIEW
big green button
When I talk to an IT guy about a FreeBSD distribution
argumentation & thinking seems very 1-0-ish
will not think of Linux as long s/he is aware that the BSDs are different
reflect your mental absolutism
rationale for only one init system
understand Linux distribution developers being frustrated at maintaining a myriad of inits

My first time using freebsd
Jan 8, 2019
christhegeek
last straw
octopkg
xfce worked very good
nvidia driver is very good
bluetooth worked (but with pulseaudio i have no sound from browser but it has no problems with video/music player apps)
something about xiphos
hp printer
sound is ok
Dvb-t (tv) works
adapter recognised and worked with kaffeine
make installing a graphical package manager easier
octopkg doesnt work
Create a simple app for connecting to bluetooth
pulseaudio is pretty useless
Sum: Gnome/gdm doesn't work i tried to disable the wayland on gdm settings file but still no gdm/gnome
Octopkg finally worked
After a while i was unable to login to xfce
other bsd distros like ghostbsd,trueos/trident
extremely frustrating and dissapointed me completely
linux user since 1999
first distro was slackware
Linux-ism you need to rid yourself of
no such thing as a BSD "distro"
