>A big conversation I see now days is what’s “wrong” with the modern nba, with too many 3’s being the most common refrain. That’s silly. I will tell you what’s actually wrong about the nba. They’re playing the most amazing basketball the worlds ever seen, but the entertainment ecosystem around them hasn’t changed at all. Literally they just talk about the stupidest stuff, like who’s the GOAT, instead of actually educating their audiences about the incredible level of play that exists now days.
100% agree on this. NBA coverage, especially on ESPN is garbage. Not to mention how expensive it is to (legally) watch the NBA. If they actually had better coverage explaining different facets of the game, and analyzing it, maybe people would appreciate what they're seeing more.
It certainly does to me....Firefox and ublock origin makes using the modern web easier. Anytime I use some other combination (at work, or someone else's device) I can't stand most websites.
I know there are problems around Mozilla the org, or the how firefox is funded, but I hope it's not going anywhere.
It's proving to be a good release so far. Hopefully they get more support in the form of manpower and cash. Looking forward to NetBSD and the increasing popularity of ARM in the future.
Try one in a VM first. Get used to the different pkg management in whichever BSD you use vs. the linux distro you're used to using. NetBSD uses pkgsrc, which is pretty straightforward to use.
No systemD.
If you're using it as a desktop, it will take a little more time to config things to fit what you need. More command line editing of config files, than say Linux Mint or similar linux distros.
FreeBSD has the biggest community so it's easier to get help online.
That being said, NetBSD is worth checking out, especially for your use case.
If you decide to try it out on hardware, check out https://bsd-hardware.info/ and see if your machine is supported.
Also check out UnitedBSD.com It's a forum and there are many NetBSD users there.
> Judging him on not being "properly" socialist or anti-imperialist or whatever is completely missing the point.
But there are people who put him on the pedestal. His claimed by the left, and western leftists love to argue over who is "more socialist" than the other. His time in Spain, books like Animal Farm and 1984...they're held up as examples of Orwell being a better leftist than others.
> Did he write this at the time the Exiled staff were smashing each other in the face with horse semen pies? Seems like a lot of edginess and projection.
Chronologically I think this comes after the horse semen pies.
It's not a stretch to think a middle class Englishmen from the early 20th century hates catholics, and that this bigotry (along with his other pet hates) pop up in his writing.
As far as Orwell being a socialist....don't forget he ratted out British socialist to British intelligence.
"That’s the thing about Orwell’s Imperialism: it’s perfectly ordinary stuff, distinguished only by the socialist persona he invented to speak it. As an example of literary dissembling, Orwell belongs with the great forgers. But as a man of ideas, he is truly beneath contempt. His ideas are simply the hatreds of his nursery, hidden by an elaborate self-glorifying backstory."
