That it seems to cause deskilling in tech and knowledge work is another ticking time bomb, but I think it'll take a few years for the true impact of that to hit the economy.

@baldur I think it would be unreasonable to completely change productivity in just a couple of years. You don't replace humans with machines *directly*, you have to alter the means of production to accommodate them: The cotton mills of the industrial revolution weren't filled with cottage-sized hand looms operated by robots.

The reason for the rush is that the tech bros need to pay off their debts quickly, so they can't wait for everyone to become productive, they need to fake it.

So, thanks to the miracle of our first-past-the-post system, 861,258 British Columbians (15%) got to decide on behalf of 5,710,598 people how things are going to go in our province for the next four years.

This is why we need #ElectoralReform #TyrannyOfTheMinority

To the first, I say: Fine, I don't want to go where that bandwagon is headed.

"Left behind" is an interesting phrase, it indexes a notion of a race towards a desirable/shining "future" that only some can access, and which we should all hope to participate in.

But the TESCREAList/tech bro future is not one I want any part in and in fact one that I actively resist --- and I hope others will too.

From the people who brought you the damned Needle (it still gives me PTSD) their continuing effort to stereotype citizens. Demographics are a fiction of pollsters & marketers.

I write about the problems with polling and such analysis in The Gutenberg Parenthesis:

Public opinion polling began with apparently admirable intent. George
Gallup and Saul Rae wrote in 1940 in The Pulse of Democracy that
“elections can never be the sole channel for the expression of public
opinion.”35 And so they wanted to engineer another medium for the public
voice, and a scientific method of ascertaining it: polling. Initially, said
Michael Korzi, “the poll was seen as a tool to give the common people a
voice in government, later the poll became the sole measure of public
opinion. After a period of time, public opinion came to be ‘what opinion
polls poll’; the poll was normative no more, it was descriptive.”36 The poll
carried the preconceived notions and biases of the pollster. Public opinion
became the measure of a passive populace or presumptions about them, not
of their active voices.
In the first issue of the journal The Public Opinion Quarterly in 1937, at
the birth of the field, Floyd Allport warned against losing the perspectives of
individuals and communities: “We cannot speak of the opinion of this
public, because it includes too many alignments of opinion, many of which
may be irrelevant or even contradictory.”37 De Tocqueville cautioned against
the tyranny of the majority while Gallup and Rae feared a tyranny of the
minority: interest groupsthat could sway the whole public through lobbying.
Lippmann worried about the susceptibility of public opinion to propaganda,
but he also opined that masses do not hold opinions, for “thought is the
function of an organism, and the mass is not an organism.”38 James Carey
disagreed, replying that Lippmann “conceived of citizens primarily, if not
exclusively, as the objects rather than the subjects of politics.”Carey believed
the poll was fundamentally corrupting, preempting the public conversation
it was intended to measure: — Public opinion polling began with apparently admirable intent.

Every morning my dog and I have a standoff on the way back home after the morning walk. He wants to go down the road where he once found a half eaten sausage roll, and I want to go down the parallel road where the mum in her dressing gown gives me a cheeky wave from her lounge.

Spending 93 million dollars on an election no-one wanted so Eby could trade 2 years of majority government to the conservatives with twice the majority and twice length of mandate.
Talk about an Epic Fail. 🤦‍♂️

The #NetBSD Project offers a live image for AMD64 that includes X11 and features persistence.

Why does nobody ever talk about this?

I put this image on a USB drive, booted it, logged in as root (no password needed), created a user account, started X, configured the network, and i everything was still there after a reboot.

1️⃣️2️⃣️3️⃣️4️⃣️. By popular demand Phosh can now automatically submit the unlock PIN, so you can skip the submit button. The length is stored in systemd-homed's user record and can be updated it via phosh-pin-tool until the GUI for PIN changing is in place. You can use the on-screen keyboard to unlock with arbitrary length should that ever get out of sync.

If you want to help with the remaining GUI bits let us know.

The initial phrog unlock after boot doesn't know about this yet so remember to hit submit there 🙃️.

With different unlock methods on the horizon we need a panel and likely also move that to a library so we can use it in first-boot.
