Die Bundestagswahl spült einige Abgeordnete ins Parlament. Eine davon ist Saskia #ludwig (CDU, Brandenburg*). Ihr Vorschlag bei Elmo:
„Ich würde es gut finden, wenn ein Mann wie Frank Thelen ein Pendant zu #Doge in Deutschland managen würde, um bei Bürokratieabbau und beim Aufdecken von Verschwendung und Korruption helfen würde. Deutschland braucht das genau so dringend wie #USA oder andere Länder.” Typos included. Da blüht uns auch was.

Discovered this evening: a FreeBSD committer badmouthing me in an early January response to a survey.

I wish I had known about that, before I quit FreeBSD Discord a few days later: mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperri

Rewind to November 2024: the same committer abused someone else. A few days later, his mentor wrote: "… Do not make me into a baby-sitter; I will not accept this role. …"; around an hour later, he apologised for use of a diminutive term.

Frankly:

― the offender does need a baby-sitter.

I have screenshots of the offender ranting in Discord, and so on. This is why I have largely withdrawn from contributing to the FreeBSD Project.

@emaste sorry, I'll not participate in tomorrow's meeting of the Laptop and Desktop Workgroup.

@FreeBSDFoundation FYI

BSD.cafe Mastodon PortalGraham Perrin (@grahamperrin@bsd.cafe)Spirits of cooperation: their lives, deaths, afterlives, and endings … I find it increasingly difficult to handle the emotional and other aftereffects of being targeted by irrational, ugly, ad homimem abuse, from a developer, in an online working group space between 05:30 and 06:06 a few days ago. Maybe more prolonged; I quit the server, without responding to the abuser, after waking to find a bad situation made worse by a so-called moderator. This is, perhaps, not the type of group work that inspires a person. It certainly does not foster a spirit of cooperation. Rewind: I lost sleep, much more than I ever admitted, in 2023. Fast-forward to 2025: I'm losing sleep, again. Despite my best efforts, the passing of time is not improving the situation, I need to do some thing quickly to halt the tide, the thing is this post. Part of this morning's sleeplessness was spent philosophically and positively, crafting various ways in which I might sugar-coat the situation. In my mind's eye this morning was a perfunctory, factual post that ended upbeat, by thanking (but not naming) a great peacemaker who reached out to me in 2023. Less philosophically: I'm tired, I'm disinclined to sugar-coat casually-dropped turds, and ― frankly ― the tiredness, past and present, is a direct consequence of unreasonable behaviour. I'm no angel, but hey, I have a breaking point, and if you wanna get your kicks and giggles through breaking people: I'll prefer alternative spaces, where the good in people can be brought out. This is not rocket science, you shit-heads, you utter shit-heads. To anyone who might respond here: please understand that I'll probably not continue the conversation. Further unravelling in private, or public, is not the way forward. Right now, I like the idea of a quiet end to this phase of my life. Around a decade might have been long enough. I want the decade ahead to please me, and I'm suitably calmed by the idea of silently abandoning everything from 2015 to date. I abandoned masses of stuff about which I was passionate in the past, never regretted moving on, if now is another ending I'll have no regrets. I'm calmed not only by the idea of abandonment, I was also calmed at the end of my working day by using two operating systems that worked perfectly. It's now 19:15, I'm done with writing about this. Cat time :-) To future peacemakers: thank you. To casual troublemakers: I have had more than enough of your turds. Don't make me share additional thoughts on the subject.

FreeBSD Project-provided repositories for kernel modules in the ports collection: usage

14.1-RELEASE to 14.2-RELEASE

… an interim approach to avoiding the DRM graphics issue that was noted for 14.2-RELEASE before the release announcement …

Just found out there is a new crime series on BBC with David Mitchell solving the murders, essentially playing himself, but as a police Officea. Or actually, the twin brother of a police officer, and this is not a spoiler, the trailer reveals it. I sure hope our local broadcaster will buy the rights. (Or that I can get iPlayer to work through a VPN, haven't tried in a while, maybe VPN makers have won the game against geoblocking?) youtube.com/watch?v=imTyEPCAbc #DavidMitchell #Ludwig

@kornel
I like #Ludwig too. Several themes I like and the least of which are the cases he solves which are a bit meh. His character lifts them above that to ok for me.

Reminds me of why I liked The Bridge so much. When they focused too much on the cases I got bored, but occupying the perspective of the misfit, of which I am an example, I like very much.
