I feel so at home at Exquisite I can't imagine ever joining a different instance. This place is amazing, and I feel comfortable, safe, and welcome here. ♥️ All of Fedi runs on OpenBSD, right? What else would you use?
Just sent a heartfelt plea to someone high-up at HPE to do something - *something* - about the preservation status of HP-UX, its patches and updates, and its software. HP-UX's definitive end-of-life is at the end of this month. Y'all have no idea how much of HP-UX has already vanished. I have very little faith this will lead to anything, but at least I tried.
While the UK has a million problems, the right-wing talking point over "arrests for social media posts" is entirely fake, made up, and 100% bullshit. The reality is that the number of people convicted for online posts in the UK has declined sharply since 2015 - from about 2000 then to less than 1100 in 2025. Of note is that only about 10% of those received any prison time, and the majority of those were less than two months long. And no, those convictions weren't over shitpost, but posts inciting actual violence, calling for murder, abuse and God knows what else - like right-wingers calling for burning down asylum centers or killing non-white children. So, if you see right-wing lunatics ejaculating over social media posts arrests in the UK - it's bullshit. None of it is true.
