    2025 now and I have two installations in virtual machines hosted on Linux. One is for playing Solitaire when I feel like it, and the other is a honeypot for scammers to log in when they phone me with _"Your Windows has viruses and hackers in it!"_ . I've pre-loaded the honeypot with gai Indian p0rrn and some real viruses, so they aren't wrong.

    “I strongly disagree with the perspective presented. As someone deeply familiar with Flint, Michigan, I have witnessed its challenges firsthand. Areas such as Garland Street, the former Windmill Place, Dort Highway, North Saginaw Street, and 12th Street continue to grapple with issues like drugs, gang violence, and economic despair. The city’s ongoing water crisis further exacerbates these struggles, as residents are still unable to safely drink water from their faucets. Why has this crisis remained unresolved? Moreover, why did the city’s leadership seemingly abandon its people? This portrayal of Flint feels overly optimistic and incomplete. The narrator openly admits to only watching a portion of the movie Flint, Town, yet key issues remain unaddressed-such as the corruption highlighted in Roger & Me, the devastating effects of corporations abandoning Flint, and the economic collapse caused by the city’s over-reliance on a single industry. Additionally, major failed projects like Auto World, the Water Street Pavilion, and the Hyatt Regency Hotel are conspicuously absent from the discussion. These ventures, intended to revitalize Flint, ultimately catered only to the wealthy elite and left most residents excluded. If a documentary is to be produced, it must present a balanced and truthful depiction of the city, encompassing both its strengths and its harsh realities. Glossing over or avoiding Flint’s most troubled areas raises the question: is the filmmaker unwilling or afraid to confront these challenging truths? As a professional director and producer, I earned my credentials after leaving Flint for California. Despite my relocation, I have never forgotten the realities of my hometown. A well-rounded documentary about Flint must shed light on all facets of its story, rather than selectively highlighting only the positives while neglecting the struggles its residents continue to endure.”

    A Journey of Resilience: From Flint, Michigan, to Southern California Flint, Michigan, was home for much of my life. I moved there in 1982, attended high school, got married, and started a corporation that brought me pride and purpose. Flint was a place of personal milestones and professional beginnings. But as time went on, the city faced challenges that transformed it in unimaginable ways. General Motors (GMC), once the foundation of Flint’s economy, began closing plants and laying off workers. By 2021, GMC had laid off 5,000 employees and shut down several facilities, shaking the community to its core. The effects were immediate and devastating. Crime rates skyrocketed within days, and private companies-like my own-struggled to survive. I had poured my heart into my corporation, but the economic and social shifts became insurmountable. I made the tough decision to close the business and focus on supporting my employees, offering transfers to those willing to relocate and severance packages to those who stayed behind. By 2021, the city I loved had become unrecognizable. It was then I decided to leave Flint and move to Southern California, seeking a new chapter and new opportunities. The move wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. California became a place of renewal-a chance to rebuild, reflect, and refocus on my goals. Flint will always be a part of me. The memories of high school, my marriage, and building a business in the city remain vivid. But so do the lessons of resilience and adaptability learned through hardship. Now, as I reside in Southern California, I carry Flint’s story with me. It fuels my drive to create meaningful work and advocate for those who face adversity. My journey from Flint to California is a testament to perseverance, showing that even in the face of profound loss, there is always an opportunity to rise, rebuild, and find hope.

    I have a Mac Blue and White G3 with maxed out RAM (1GB ) and an 80GB hard drive. I am trying to install FreeBSD 13.2. The installation seems to go fine all the way to spitting the DVD out and asking me to restart the computer. When I do that FreeBSD refuses to boot from the hard drive. Apparently the particular partition with the boot software needs to be designated somehow. The only issue I see when installing is that it doesn't recognize the networking hardware and so doesn't install iP4 nor iP6 software. I assumed I could do that after rebooting. I am stuck. After using and installing various distros of Linux I am spoiled. By the way, I can install Lubuntu 16.04 fine so I know the computer is in good working order. But that is out of date and uses more RAM so I want FreeBSD instead. Adelie Linux would be good, but it doesn't support the Radeon 128 video card.

The GPL says if you fork GPL code, you have to release it under a compatible license, i.e., release the source code. There's no reason why you can't use proprietary code alongside it. This is a common misconception.

    Here's the truth that the average Linux sycophant is either too young to remember or too delusional to acknowledge; Linux is often used simply because it is free, not because it is good. You can buy a bunch of licenses to deploy on many machines or you can pay a guy much less to make Linux work for very specific use cases.
