Modern computing is like tearing out weeds in your vegetable garden. No matter what you do, 3 more grow back and the wildlife is running off with your tomatoes.

Sep 23 01:37

DaemonFC

Then of course because America and Freedom, completely unlike Shithole Countries, the feds pull up and arrest you for even trying to garden because something something commerce clause, and Waters of the United States. Your tomatoes have interfered with Inter-State Commerce and collecting rain in buckets has an effect on the navigable waters.

Sep 23 01:38

DaemonFC

So after losing half your tomatoes to the rabbits, who only took one bite and then threw the rest on the ground to taunt you, and all that work pulling weeds....

I've got 1000 GPU'! What are you using them for? Firefox

sharkey

corporate obsolescence at its finest

sharkey

they don't make computers like they used to

lundy

500 GPU's make the spinny thing spin faster while the page loads

sharkey

i'll never get rid of the computer i have right now

DaemonFC

Wayland on my Tiger Lake laptop crashes all the time with KDE on Debian 12. On the Skylake laptop, it doesn't.

DaemonFC

So I'm using Wayland on the older one, but X11 on the newer one.

Sapphirus

I've got nvidia. Not even dared to try and see if it'd work with multiple monitors.

netbsd

Sep 23 02:03

weird

Sep 23 02:03

lundy

must have a lot of ram

sharkey

its been through a lot of different operating systems

sharkey

it does

psydruid

eventually it comes down to NetBSD or OpenBSD

sharkey

when i first got it, i ran win95

psydruid

and when those fail to run it's time to get creative

Sep 23 02:05

psydruid

or finally put it in a museum

Sep 23 02:05

sharkey

thats what the hardware companies want

Sep 23 02:05

sharkey

i don't have any CPU backdoors

Sep 23 02:06

psydruid

I run OpenBSD on a Powermac G4

Sep 23 02:06

psydruid

although I don't have it here

Sep 23 02:06

psydruid

my only x86 systems are laptops I bought years ago

Sep 23 02:07

sharkey

even raspi has backdoors

Sep 23 02:07

lundy

it has a front door

sharkey

im sure the government and the pentagon will love it when this machine fails

sharkey

so they can get me on the treadmill of constantly upgrading hardware

sharkey

gotta keep the backdoors updated

psydruid

I don't have a raspi

psydruid

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-pineapple-one.github.io | Pineapple ONE

psydruid

yes, it's on Github

psydruid

I don't know why they love it so much

sharkey

if its on github its probably because it has backdoors

Sep 23 02:14

sharkey

microsoft wouldn't allow true free hardware

Sep 23 02:14

psydruid

do you design hardware?

Sep 23 02:15

sharkey

Sep 23 02:16

lundy

it would be nice to have the option though

Sep 23 02:17

lundy

when they want to make you buy stuff the first thing they do is decide your options for you

psydruid

I'd have to go through the sources and try to understand them

sharkey

ikr

then they aren't options

sharkey

its also hard to find hardware that works with a vga monitor

DaemonFC

I've noticed that thousands of US pharmacy locations have now closed.

psydruid

a SoC using it, that is

DaemonFC

CVS and Walgreens closed a few hundred each and now this.

psydruid

I just ordered some HDMI<->VGA adapters today

DaemonFC

They're shutting down stores to get labor costs down and deter shoplifting. They're closing the high shrink stores first.

psydruid

I don't like throwing out working hardware for no reason

sharkey

same

lundy

if the store isn't there it definitely deters shoplifting

sharkey

these "modern" LCD screens dont last as long as CRT

sharkey

i've had this monitor since 1996

lundy

if it stops working you can fix it with a good whack

Sep 23 02:23

psydruid

the backlight stops working after some time

Sep 23 02:23

psydruid

I don't know enough about replacing that, so I have disconnected mine for now

Sep 23 02:24

psydruid

I still have a few CRTs elsewhere

Sep 23 02:24

sharkey

microsoft, the pentagon, the CIA, and hardware manufacturers have all conspired together to make sure technology never lasts much longer than 5-10 years

Sep 23 02:25

sharkey

all the new monitors have "smart" features that spy on you

Sep 23 02:25

psydruid

such as?

Sep 23 02:25

psydruid

I don't think I have any that is less than 10 years old

sharkey

i was at a computer store the other day and i was bewildered to see a monitor with netflix built in

psydruid

oh that

lundy

CloudTV

psydruid

yes, TVs come with all kinds of spyware built-in

Sep 23 02:27

psydruid

one I used as a monitor woke up in the middle of the night to connect with the mothership

sharkey

its like a telescreen in 1984

psydruid

but I never connected it to the network

lundy

CCTV isn't really closed-circuit anymore

sharkey

lundy

so much of it is online

or simply disabling all the 'smart' stuff

Sep 23 02:29

sharkey

microsoft and ibm keep infiltrating free software projects to make everything so bad that people will just go back to microshit winblows

psydruid

it's a very sinister outlook on life to be constantly spying on your customers and citizens

psydruid

I know

psydruid

and it won't happen

https://www.wsj.com/articles/crypto-depositors-spar-with-pricey-lawyers-in-celsius-bankruptcy-and-land-a-few-punches-80cf5aa

sharkey

i remember how bad win98 was in comparison with win95

Sep 23 02:32

sharkey

IE built into everything

Sep 23 02:32

sharkey

then redhat had to copy them and make fvwm95

Sep 23 02:32

sharkey

now everything is too bloated for my 486

Sep 23 02:33

sharkey

i only use X to make it easier to run a bunch of terminals

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Crypto Depositors Spar With Pricey Lawyers in Celsius Bankruptcy (and Land a Few Punches) - WSJ

Sep 23 02:39

DaemonFC

"Roughly a year after the bankruptcy filing, Alex Mashinsky, Celsius’ founder and chief executive, was arrested by federal authorities in New York and charged with securities fraud. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of misleading investors, and is out on $40 million bail."

Sep 23 02:43

DaemonFC

Ironically, Illinois would have let him out for free.

Sep 23 02:43

DaemonFC

He didn't commit a violent crime and doesn't pose an "imminent danger to the community or a specific person", so in Illinois he'd be eligible for cash-free bail under the SAFE-T Act.

Sep 23 02:44

DaemonFC

If you're going to commit white collar crime, incorporate in Illinois.

Sep 23 02:45

DaemonFC

If the state arrests you, you MUST have a detention hearing within 72 hours, which is before the arraignment court date, which usually takes 1-2 months.

Sep 23 02:45

DaemonFC

So before the judge can even seize your passport, you get out, then you can flee the country.

Thanks to the Democrats, what Roman Polanski did in 1974 would work for any rich person who rapes a minor in Illinois today.

The judge wouldn't even have a chance to demand the passport.

The hearing on detention says this is non-detainable, and it's not an arraignment proceeding.

schestowitz

schestowitz

it will just circle down the drain

schestowitz

many people outsourced their "friends" or "audiences" there

DaemonFC

schestowitz: Figure each pharmacy employs a dozen people for the retail floor, a couple dozen to cover the shifts back in the pharmacy, and then a couple managers.

Sep 23 03:27

DaemonFC

That's what? Nearly 40 employees per pharmacy?

Sep 23 03:28

DaemonFC

Now, you figure that between Rite Aid's bankruptcy and CVS and Walgreens shutting stores down, you've got nearly 1,000 pharmacy locations shut down.

Sep 23 03:28

DaemonFC

Somewhere close to 40,000 people lose their jobs just at retail pharmacies.

Sep 23 03:28

DaemonFC

And no promise it won't get worse.

Sep 23 03:29

DaemonFC

Then Biden gave work permits to 500,000 illegal Venezuelans.

Sep 23 03:30

DaemonFC

In Canada, there's no such concept as a city or county or provincial government passing a law, contrary to Canadian Immigration Law, which says they will shield me from the Canadian feds if I come there, and will look the other way as I work illegally in Canada and someone rents me an apartment.

Sep 23 03:31

DaemonFC

Even in Indiana, with no sanctuary law, they don't CALL the feds when they know someone they've arrested is in the country illegally.

Sep 23 03:34

DaemonFC

They just hold for ICE detainers if there is one.

Sep 23 03:34

DaemonFC

This whole thing hurts me and Mandy terribly.

Sep 23 03:35

DaemonFC

There's already barely any work out there and now half a million people? Really?

Sep 23 03:35

DaemonFC

Which ones would Maduro kill if we sent them back? None of them? Why the TPS?

Sep 23 03:36

DaemonFC

I'd at least get it if there were some people from a country where they'd be murdered if we sent them back, but just not wanting to live in your own country is not an asylum issue.

Sep 23 03:37

DaemonFC

There's still people in the US on "temporary protected status" because there was an earthquake somewhere in 1998.

Sep 23 03:37

DaemonFC

It becomes really hard to get rid of them and all you can do is "extend it".

DaemonFC

So what they're using it for is slave labor.

There are "different" limitations set out by law in the US. You are a dual citizen of the federal and state governments. Due to federal citizenship, you can move anywhere you like and they can't say no.

Sapphirus

It's usually followed here, though, and the feds are far less involved in things at the local/provincial level.

"They're attracting oodles of people."

Sapphirus

We also have no concept of a federal highway system, either; since that is provincial jurisdiction.

DaemonFC

Technically, Interstate Highways and US Routes are not federal roads.

DaemonFC

They're federally funded but managed by the state's department of transportation with federal funds.

DaemonFC

Few states are going to say no to money for a federal highway though.

Sapphirus

the feds don't even involve themselves that much in the transcanada highway

Sapphirus

they gave some money for its initial construction and that's it

DaemonFC

Yeah, John says Canadians come over here and are confused about how to even drive.

DaemonFC

We're more metricated in that respect than the UK

Metric for scientific and medical stuff, but not entirely.

DaemonFC

It's a huge mess.

"Just ask your phone."

DaemonFC

Sapphirus: I could just hit a button on my car and have it in metric.

DaemonFC

So I wouldn't get tickets there.

DaemonFC

Older cars have km/h in secondary. It's in a smaller scale, right under the miles per hour.

DaemonFC

People must be pretty stupid.

Sapphirus

here, analogue car dashes would be inverse that

DaemonFC

If it says 50 km/h just accelerate until the needle's at 50 on the orange scale and then hit cruise.

Sapphirus

km/h big and mph small

By 2023, since the government lockdown, Woodfield Mall had announced several newest additions, among them are Miniso, Radio Flyer, Abercrombie & Fitch, Gilly Hicks, Showcase, Lovisa, Offline by Aerie, Earthbound, Athleta, Warby Parker, The North Face, and Primark.

they even make the boarding up seem "nice"

DaemonFC

schestowitz: Regarding Mr. Lobsta.

DaemonFC

I was looking over the "lawsuit" against "her" employer.

DaemonFC

It's a joke.

DaemonFC

So, over THREE YEARS, "she" made only $24,000 CAD.

DaemonFC

Then...

DaemonFC

Took a claim to the Ontario labor board, whatever they call it.

DaemonFC

Which determined "she" was improperly classified as a "contractor".

DaemonFC

But....

DaemonFC

Far from being a major case or something which "she" was boasting about in #anime on Libera.Chat....or having anything to do with trannyphobia....

DaemonFC

The only issue was classification of employee or contractor.

DaemonFC

They awarded da lobsta only like $965 CAD or something in damages, and it would have stopped there had they also not made a terrible additional ruling.

Sep 23 05:29

DaemonFC

Lobsta, before filing this, demanded a "settlement" of several thousand dollars, and wrote it as a "threat" of sorts, scaring "her" former employer into taking it to the police and saying he was being shaken down.

Sep 23 05:30

DaemonFC

They ruled this was "retaliation" against da lobsta and added $2,500 for it.

Sep 23 05:30

DaemonFC

So had he just told Lobsta to go pound sand and gone to the hearing, it would have only cost him $965 CAD.

Sep 23 05:30

DaemonFC

In actuality, it was a minor dispute and Lobsta got like, less than one week's pay at Walmart in "actual damages" out of it.

Sep 23 05:31

DaemonFC

$2,500 was from the employer going to the police and being punished after I'm sure lobsta came off as crazy or threatening.

Sep 23 05:32

DaemonFC

But in exchange for this paltry sum of money, Lobsta is now named in a Ontario labor case that comes up on the first couple Google hits.

Sep 23 05:32

DaemonFC

So if anyone else is deciding whether to hire "her" they can read the whole thing and realize they'd better not, and then never call back after lobsta puts in an application.

DaemonFC

If you're a potential employer *and* you google the person you're considering hiring *and* see that this person has a history of complaining to the labor board *and* they only usually have a job for about a year or so.....

DaemonFC

Do you just hire someone else and never say why?

DaemonFC

Yup!

DaemonFC

That might have something to do why that was Lobsta's last LinkedIn entry working somewhere instead of saying "self-employed".

Sep 23 05:34

schestowitz

"employed" = criminal

schestowitz

"i am a full-time criminal now"

DaemonFC

If they have 20 other people who want a job and then you google all of them and you see this shit.

DaemonFC

Are you going to hire the one that "sued" their last one?

DaemonFC

That's just my opinion.

DaemonFC

I mean, when I was hiring people I didn't ever, once, say why they didn't get the job.

schestowitz

anyway, back on topic, so we're testing the new TT

schestowitz

*TR

DaemonFC

You don't have to. If you ever do, you can say "They weren't the most qualified.".

schestowitz

and so far, so good

schestowitz

we need to leave php behind, it's a never-ending mess

schestowitz

php has a major new release every 203 eyars

schestowitz

and then they "deprecate" loads of things

DaemonFC

Most people who try it out think it's neat until they end up in a quagmire.

DaemonFC

Like Python.

Sep 23 05:41

Sep 23 05:41

Sep 23 05:42

Sapphirus

why would they dox themselves like that on IRC, I wonder?

Sep 23 05:43

DaemonFC

Fuck i I know.

Sep 23 05:43

DaemonFC

"She" needed money and needed it badly and fast I guess, so what to do?

Sep 23 05:43

Sapphirus

there's a price for that

Sep 23 05:44

DaemonFC

Oh, I know. "Sue" an employer where you "quit" for three adult dollars.

Sep 23 05:44

Sapphirus

$2,500 isn't even enough to survive a month in any major Canadian city

Sep 23 05:44

DaemonFC

The labor board also determined "she" was not eligible for termination pay, as "she" claimed.

DaemonFC

Because "she" quit, and was not fired.

Sapphirus

LOL good riddance

DaemonFC

Also, the guy screwed up.

DaemonFC

He called Lobsta an "employee" in some emails.

DaemonFC

So if he hadn't done this or gone to the cops, then Lobsta might not have gotten anything.

Sapphirus

lol $2,500 is not even a slap on the wrist

Sapphirus

it's a rounding error

DaemonFC

Well, Lobsta got the $2,500 because he went to file a police report.

DaemonFC

$965 because of the claim itself.

DaemonFC

The $960 (corrected) was "vacation pay" that would have been earned under I guess Ontario law.

Sep 23 05:47

DaemonFC

And would have had to be paid out if Lobsta never used any of it.

Sep 23 05:47

Sapphirus

imagine trying to lie about being fired

Sep 23 05:48

DaemonFC

They ruled no termination pay because Lobsta quit "to go back to school".

Sep 23 05:48

DaemonFC

No public holiday pay because Lobsta didn't keep any records of hours worked during Canadian holidays.

Sapphirus

What else do they lie about, I do wonder?

DaemonFC

Just the vacation pay which was 4% of the total wages earned during the time at that employer.

DaemonFC

And the $2,500 for the guy panicking and going to the cops.

Sapphirus

It's not exactly a trivial thing to lie about

Sep 23 05:50

DaemonFC

If Lobsta had kept the work schedules for the three years, then there might have been some holiday money.

Sep 23 05:50

Sapphirus

You're either fired or you quit.

Sep 23 05:50

DaemonFC

Then after doing this, and having it all end up on Google (result 3-4 I think).

Sapphirus

well, it kind've is, the only inbetween is being laid off..

DaemonFC

Lobsta put that employer down on LinkedIn.

Sapphirus

Probably a bunch of slanderous shit

Sapphirus

and the company will never go after them, because they don't want to be called transphobic.

Sep 23 05:52

DaemonFC

Well, whatever Ontario law says, if you are a "trans woman" and a very obvious one, and go into a job interview like that.....

DaemonFC

The interviewer will say "We'll call you."

DaemonFC

So like, it just sets yourself so far back, in reality.

DaemonFC

Because you can never prove that's why they don't call you later.

Sapphirus

But that doesn't stop them from screaming discrimination.

DaemonFC

Well here, they can scream it from the top of a mountain (there are no mountains in this state, but you know....).

DaemonFC

Doesn't matter if they can't prove it.

DaemonFC

Like if the interviewer jumps up and says "WE DON'T HIRE PEOPLE LIKE YOU HERE! GET OUT OF HERE!" in front of witnesses?

DaemonFC

But, how many do that?

Sapphirus

none, zilch, zero

DaemonFC

Part of being an interviewer is containing what you think.

DaemonFC

You go in poker faced and pretend to give everyone a chance at the job, even though it's not true.

DaemonFC

That's what the job is.

DaemonFC

You go out there to call people in and EXPECT a three ringed circus and you do NOT say a word about it or break composure.

Sep 23 05:56

Sapphirus

You must be a real winner to end up in public record like that

Sep 23 05:57

DaemonFC

So like, I went in to interview for a customer service job once, and these two others walked in, and like, one of them was wearing the jeans he mowed the lawn in and suspenders.

Sep 23 05:57

DaemonFC

Then another one went in there and slouched over and looked like maybe you know "I'm only here because Probation is making me look for work, but I don't want it."

Sapphirus

It's one thing to make a complaint in good faith..

Sapphirus

And then the secretary asked "Can I help you?" and he's like "Lookin' for a job interview..." like in this completely apathetic tone of voice.

DaemonFC

I'm there in a suit and a tie.

DaemonFC

And the CEO of the company interviewed me and shook my hand and asked "When can you start?" I said, "Tomorrow if it's possible." He said, "We start at 9."

I mean, like, people go in and act like nothing is important. They don't need a job. They don't care what the judge in court does to them.

Sep 23 06:00

DaemonFC

Then they're surprised at what happens.

Sep 23 06:00

DaemonFC

You go in there, whether you're in deep shit or you're looking for a job and you put your best foot forward and you do not let it look like anything is bothering you.

DaemonFC

If I can do that for 10-20 minutes, anyone can.

DaemonFC

And if you go in there looking like a freak of nature with your ass hanging out of some sweat pants.....

DaemonFC

Well, thanks for getting out of my way.

Sep 23 20:01

That's how Prosecutors are when they hate you, you know. You defeat one set of charges so they come back with something more "awful". It's like, they'll just keep throwing things at you until they get you for something. You don't win this.

Sep 23 20:03

DaemonFC

Sometimes it does go the other way. They admit the whole time that they either knew you were innocent of what they accused you of or they could never prove it and the only reason they ever charged it was to blackmail you.

They said that to the judge. They said , "It was a weak case and we could have never proved it. We're glad we got anything."

Well, court is a battering ram.

Sep 23 20:13

DaemonFC

The prosecutor is there to do egregious things with an unlimited budget of money they stole from other people to go after you.

Sep 23 20:14

DaemonFC

And they will keep coming up with shit until you can't afford to defend yourself anymore.

Sep 23 20:14

DaemonFC

Or you'll just start out with a public defender that they barely pay.

Sep 23 20:15

DaemonFC

So then you're in trial, technically with a lawyer, but one without any reason to notice discrepancies in the prosecutor's tactics.

Sep 23 20:15

DaemonFC

The public defender is only there to make sure that everything they convict you of sticks because you can't argue no assistance of counsel.

Sep 23 20:17

DaemonFC

That's grounds for a new trial, but it's very rare it ever happens.

Sep 23 20:17

DaemonFC

Your lawyer has to do something so incompetent that it could actually get him in trouble with the bar association.

Sep 23 20:17

DaemonFC

Out of thousands and thousands of lawyers in Chicago, maybe 4-6 get in trouble with the bar association each year.

Sep 23 20:18

DaemonFC

It's a tribunal of lawyers deciding things about other lawyers.

Sep 23 20:18

techrights-ipfs-bot

Sep 23 20:20

DaemonFC

So "Has this lawyer ever been in trouble with the bar?" is almost a joke.

Sep 23 20:21

DaemonFC

If they have, it means they did something outright criminal, themselves, and got caught, usually.

Sep 23 20:21

DaemonFC

It was so bad that they and other lawyers couldn't cover it up.

Sep 23 20:22

DaemonFC

And now they have to act.

Sep 23 20:22

DaemonFC

Usually, the lawyers who get pinched by the bar association handle civil law.

Sep 23 20:23

DaemonFC

The majority of them are handling Social Security, Divorce, and Immigration.

Sep 23 20:23

DaemonFC

So as you can imagine this is stuff like bribing Social Security judges, stealing money from the disabled, committing fraud against USCIS, and sleeping with their divorce clients or arranging to have the husband killed or something.

Sep 23 20:24

DaemonFC

There are a lot of really unscrupulous lawyers because they no longer see things as right and wrong.

Sep 23 20:25

DaemonFC

Florida has a system now where the public votes on the public defender.

Sep 23 20:27

DaemonFC

The implication being that if he wins too many cases for indigent defendants, the voters will throw him out for doing his job.

Sep 23 20:27

DaemonFC

It's another backstop against even the possibility that poor people can have their day in court and win.

Sep 23 20:28

DaemonFC

Never forget people actually did this.

COVID gets everyone eventually.

DaemonFC

There's only so long you can avoid it.

Sep 23 20:36

DaemonFC

It got into North Korea despite Kim Jong Un locking the country down hard and causing tens of thousands more people to starve.

Sep 23 20:37

DaemonFC

Some of why North Korea isn't doing any better is international sanctions, but a lot of it is that keeping people where they are now fits the regime just fine.

DaemonFC

Sapphirus gets to experience Hoovervilles, I believe, in Canada now.

Sep 23 20:40

DaemonFC

Canada, I don't believe, ever had much trouble with tent cities because they housed their homeless somewhere and it was manageable because they didn't have 2-3 million pouring through a border every year like the US does.

Sep 23 20:41

DaemonFC

If all the US ever had to deal with was finding homes and work for the organic American homeless population, it would be very very easy.

Sep 23 20:42

DaemonFC

You go out on the streets in Chicago now, and the tent cities, what are they?

Sep 23 20:42

DaemonFC

For every 10 you see out there 1 is white, a few are black, what are the rest of them?

DaemonFC

Not even from here.

DaemonFC

So we've at least doubled the homeless problem, in Chicago, with the illegal immigration, and mind you....

DaemonFC

This is after the state puts up the illegals in $300 a night hotel rooms that Americans don't get.

DaemonFC

If they emptied out the hotels it would be the Model UN, homeless camp edition.

Sep 23 20:44

DaemonFC

You're better off, if you can get away with it, speaking another language and pretending you came here illegally.

Sep 23 20:44

DaemonFC

Then they will find you a hotel room, food, and a toiletries kit.

Sep 23 20:45

DaemonFC

They are forcing Americans to watch this and wondering why we're so pissed.

Sep 23 20:45

DaemonFC

So between the COVID Authoritarianism and "We will feed and house people who snuck into the country from Cameroon, but don't ask your own government for food." People are NOT happy.

Sep 23 20:46

DaemonFC

J.B. Pritzker only has one strategy for staying in office at this point.

Sep 23 20:47

DaemonFC

His last campaign was like Steve Ballmer's "Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers!" only with abortion.

Sep 23 20:47

DaemonFC

They want him to run for President.

Sep 23 20:48

DaemonFC

A can't see how a $4 billion hotel heir would be worse than a guy who has never done anything except "Senator from Delaware". At least Pritzker wouldn't fail a mini mental I suppose.

Sep 23 20:49

DaemonFC

My mother gives mini mentals to residents where she works. She said the ones who don't know what year it is recite the three words just find.

Sep 23 20:50

Sep 23 21:27

its a dx2 you can probably get another 30 years out of it

Sep 23 21:30

lundy

but in that time you could replace it with homemade cpus

Sep 23 21:30

lundy

to run something with the processing power of a dx2 today would use way less wattage

Sep 23 21:34

lundy

no backdoors is a feature obviously

Sep 23 21:34

thats why backdoors should be closed

ive totally gotten mp3s at 90-128 to play on a dx4 with dos

sharkey

its less of a burden to just listen to the radio or use my cd player

lundy

but it was a SWEET player

lundy

faster than anything ive seen since

sharkey

thats dos

lundy

yeah

lundy

linux has more overhead

sharkey

netbsd has a bit more overhead

lundy

dos is closer to the hw

lundy

not always better but for this one thing, faster

sharkey

linux shit is too bloated for this machine

linux has a lizard kernel and a feline kernel and a monkey kernel

lundy

its got layers

Sep 23 22:29

its a monolithic kernel built on a microkernel

Sep 23 22:29
