> maybe next time just leave your siblings out of the discussion

This is exactly already what I am doing, because I already know how his friends (mostly his friends) are going to all react.

> as your response to a sibling comment confirms to me

I didn't have a "response" to them, nor did I write that I did.

  Did you even read my post before thinking to reply???

> it's you that can't jive with a speaker

I don't really have a problem with the speaker. My only real qualm is that sharing the video with others isn't going to go well, which makes it hard to introduce others to real hacker culture/mindset.

Perhaps you got confused with what I wrote earlier, that most people do not take a man in a dress seriously at all and perhaps in your own mind you conflated that with my own beliefs. I will be honest with you I also do not take a man in a dress seriously and I don't I am ever going to be convinced to do so.

The very best I can do is not write anything about it on Facebook so I don't get my Facebook account banned by the Chinese H1B holders (nationals of the communist government) working at Facebook.

The reality is that even with all the "progress" we have made, still today most people do not take a man in a dress seriously. I have an FTE role in Silicon Valley, we have leases on some higher floors in SF, and I can tell you even outside of the closet MAGA people (every Bay Area company has these) most of my very liberal coworkers, even though they are willing to "play along" they absolutely do not take a man in a dress seriously and never will. Even though these are folks were willing to hire one of the trans candidates we had in our interview pipeline while they were still in it.

> there are still many who believe your ethnicity should also be driven out of public view

If you are trying to tell me that here in the USA there are many who believe that Japanese people should be driven out of public view, this is some serious news and I would like to know where this is happening. I'm sure there is always SOMEONE out there who believes Japanese people should be kicked out, but I'm going to need to see something to back this theory up because I do not believe that even a fringe minority believes that anywhere in USA, not even the turbo nazis who actually call themselves nazis.

If you can show me an actual source for this claim, please do, because if that's happening I do want to know, but also I honestly do not believe it's even remotely realistic.

> trans people are being denied basic healthcare

No autogynephiliac anywhere is being denied healthcare. Unless if by "basic healthcare" you mean genital or breast mutilation in which case sorry you are not fooling anyone on this board, this is a hacker board.

Or perhaps you are fooling yourself in which case, no, I do not buy into your religion, and you are a fascist for trying to push it onto me.

> access to essential parts of life and society

If your autogynephilia fetish becomes so internalized that you display it in public and demand others change their behavior for it, yes you are going to have less access to essential parts of life and society. What the fuck else did you expect to happen?

> Again, there are still many who believe your ethnicity should also be driven out of public view

Being Japanese is something someone is born with. Autogynephilia is a choice.

devops99··on The paper passport's days are numbered
I have a passport card that I use domestically and present in the event I am pulled over while traveling.

> The booklets and stickers should be done away with.

I would prefer that stickers continue to be used, but have cryptographic information in them and partially derived from information on the passport book itself.

Sounds great. When do you land there? You already purchased your one-way ticket to there, did you not?

Of course the politician does this, but if you think this somehow granted you carte blanche to write out of your ass you are a special kind of delusional.

> The real problem is if the man in a dress, and his associates, try to strongarm everyone into pretending he's a woman

Exactly, which is why he's not seen as simply "a man in a dress", but "a man in a dress who will call on a mob to force me to adopt their norms as if they are my own, contrary to my visceral instincts".

People don't like having to be FORCED to conform to someone else's ideology, we used to call this "fascism".

devops99··on 38C3: Opening Ceremony [video]
I can share the tech talk with them, I'm just not going to bother because I already know what's going to happen. I know we're living in "modern times" or whatever but a man in a dress is not going to be taken seriously by most people.

There are probably more people intimidated from speaking out against it, or too confused to realize they will be brow beaten for doing so, than sincere believers within the tech conference itself.

Again, I CAN show this tech talk to my teenage younger brother and his friends, but I'm not going to bother because I already know one of them is going to turn it into "hacking conferences are for homos LoL"

It's extremely frustrating.

Beyond any reasonable doubt any verbal conversation you have in your Toyota is being parsed by one or more LLMs. Anyone who believes otherwise is either room temp IQ or severely autistic.

Did you even watch the video?
devops99··on 38C3: Opening Ceremony [video]
"Fascism is coming", yeah but not in the way they'd think. I shared a couple of CCC videos from 2013 with my younger Gen Z and Gen A siblings. I was looking forward to sharing some content from the CCC with them this year.

Here's the very difficult part, they all browse 4chan /g/ and sometimes 4chan /pol/ -- mind you we are all half asian (and the other half is not white).

I want them to focus on the technical talk offered by CCC, but the optics of someone who sounds like a man (and looks like a man) in a sparkly dress, they are going to get so caught up in that (like go ape-shit over it) any signal of technology or techno-geopolitical conversation will not make it through.

IQ tests have been around for over 120 years now, haven't they?

I haven't read Richard Lynn's books before, looks like I should check them out, if for anything to see what's going on there.

When I visited "developing" countries, there is for sure something going on (or not going on) there. IQ seems to be a factor, probably due to a lack of nutrition. Or maybe it's a more spiritual thing. Whatever it is, a study based on quantifying the difference is only so helpful either way. While I don't quite know what I saw while I was there, I know that I saw it.

devops99··on Advent of OS/2
I guess I'm "privileged" or whatever but things worked out in a way that before middle school I knew we could run either Linux or a BSD 4.2 derived OS that was genetically related to the SGI and Sun boxes one of my relatives had.

I always looked at anything in the DOS/Windows noosphere as belonging to a distant and failed civilization, or more simply put: DOS/Windows is for the slaves.

If you aren't already doing private cicd, effectively acting as "the OS developer", you don't have "full control" over your system.

Something about the Bluefin artwork and outward communication really turns me off. The project is using some good concepts, for sure. Though, Bluefin will never be eligible for production in the way that other commercially supported Linux based user endpoints, Linux based systems with immutable patterns, have been for a while.

> because I want to run a lot of software in random repos.

Containers, and snapshots+clones are your friend. For a while I was doing ZFS snapshots and clones of Gentoo userlands.

However, if you knew how bad things really are with glibc and how not-well designed Linux is to resist badly behaving software, and how easily some big players can inject badly behaving software into the channels you are fetching from, you would probably seriously consider Qubes.

illumos is a kernel you can rely on to run somewhat arbitrary software.
