    Got an old wild idea resurfaced from that...

    An OS "entirely" in Haskell.

    ... calculator: ghci.

    ... window manager: xmonad. ... (and... a rewrite of X11 protocol in Haskell, sufficient to run xmonad).

    ... text editor: yi

    ... ... and a Haskell shell... would surely be named hash.

    I already have irc bots made from the tutorial to make an irc bot in Haskell... that could be converted to an irc client.

    ... doubtless many more Haskell tools to populate the rest of the purposes.

    ... Haskell tools to interface with the web could be interesting...

  • At first I thought you meant merely compiling everything by hand [(with make)], like LFS (and then thought LFS without following LFS... and then thought make life easy, start with just a kernel and busybox (or toybox)).

    But yeah... that'd be the real kudos.

    I've made a small start towards that, having written my own text editor. (And, I suppose, in a way, my own irc client, "diis".)

    But that's a long way from writing my own kernel and userland and other advanced accoutrements.

    Maybe instead of writing own kernel, could just fork one. ... Maybe Ironclad... or even Hurd.

    Don't mind that it's fishy.

  • For sure gonna catch a lot of that small-dick try-hard over-compensating energy.

  • Well, first of all, seems like someone else's goal posts have been moved, trying to slip in a conflation of intrinsic and inherent. These are not the same thing. Leaving the "It's natural" appeal to nature fallacy aside, if it's inherent, then that in no way contradicts what I've offered.

    "Micro border"... likewise, seems to be shifting language to contrive reality to fit an already held belief.

    • Like psychological boundaries of principle where one intently shall not bring themselves to cross regardless of provocation?
    • And shared among like-minded with similar experiences?
    • That kind of safe space?
    • Is that for which you've coined the term "micro border"?

    Sounds like conjuring micronations from like-minds and shared-experiences, and even, I dare say, groupthink [(precursor to mass formation, and totalitarianising psyche, in which no one is safe, from each other, in the hyper-rational (irrational) desperate social dominance demand for social conformity more equal than others, where any and all atrocities are seen as necessary virtues, ever worsening as each try to prove themselves more devout to the group, to save themselves from the group)]. Yeah, that could become problematic, and a self fulfilling prophecy succumbing to the classic first failure of game theory, the tragedy of the commons, where having it aggravates the reason for having it, causing a feedback loop. It's kinda like outsourcing your circular reasoning, cajoling others to be complicit in it, and then likely even blaming them, othering them. Those dirty outsiders, look at them, disrespecting our micro-bordered safe space. Hehe.

    In some sense, this can be seen as an energy control drama1, perhaps starting with some "aloof" mixed in with the (at least) "poor-me", perhaps even escalating through "interrogator" to "intimidator", to preserve what, initially, may have had good intentions, but becomes a separation that leads to destruction.

    ... I forget who that's attributed to ~ "separation is the path to destruction"... Siddhartha Gautama? J Krishnamurti? Gandhi? A handy concept to have around to consider and measure against. Always more, in "the longer now"2.

    Should they be allowed to do so and does that have any relevance to the larger discussion about borders?

    First, tackling:

    Should they be allowed to do so

    Like needing permission? Like a binary, allow or disallow? Not sure that's a healthy way to tackle it. Sounds like the one tool in the toolbox is the ban-hammer, and every situation, to strike the situational nail, or to not strike the situational nail. Much more nuance, much more richness of growing cognisance and comprehension available in learning about things, rather than first reaching for allow/disallow.

    and does that have any relevance to the larger discussion about borders?

    For socio-societal-psychological explorations, sure, why not. Some relevance, in exploration, sure. But to wield that like it's the core root and same-same, nuh-uh.

    I think it does.

    I can see that it can. But not all. Leans more to mere academic exploration, than the direct substance itself. More side garnish tributaries than the core crux. May be helpful for broader [foundational and supporting] understanding, or may be used to contrive felling the main trunk.

    I think people instinctively want borders to protect themselves from others who might mean them harm.

    And what compels and propels activation of this instinct?

    It’s natural and inherent to humans.

    Yes... which sorts of circumstances inherit such?

    • Inherent, from Latin inhaerere[/Inherens] ("to stick in"), e.g. like something imbued within from something prior.
    • Intrinsic, from Latin intrinsecus ("on the inside"), emphasizing internal essence. Does not imply receipt. At least not intrinsically. ;)

    (And yeah, I did poke a LLM [& Deepl] to help provide the etymology clarification there... I don't know Latin off the top of my head. Felt that needed done, since this is a very commonly shared conflation to false synonym, depriving us of an important distinction between intrinsic and inherent. Defy the Orwellian newspeak truncation of language! Harr!).

    So beyond the appeal to nature fallacy, what's cooking us? n_n What's trying to bake-in these divide-and-conquer abusable traits? Because we can see situationally, it's not always so, and thus not ubiquitously appearing intrinsic. So what situations evoke it? Who's causing such? Who benefits?

    1 2 Heh, that's two references to The Celestine Philosophy there, I did not expect to make when I started writing this reply.

  • Try a dash of voidlinux too.

    You might like it.

  • 's where I started, in 2003.

    SuSe.

    Very cushy.

    Big love to YaST.

  • Yep.

    Many touted as hard, merely require a little reading and patience and following instructions.

    Gentoo, GuixSD, CRUX, OpenBSD, KISS/Carbs, Joborun, DecibelLinux, Dragora, etc, aint so hard.

    Exherbo though... Many times I've tried make it my daily driver, and failed.

    LFS... It's hard getting through the tedium.

  • Part 1

    OH!!!

    So that is why I suck at programming.

    All these years struggling,

    Because I skipped the first step.

  • An old computer trick / prank / “fun” thing to do was piping random things to /dev/audio,

    Oh man... I've not done this for so long. Fun nostalgia bump. :) I think I even did that for a few samples in tracks I released... yonks ago.

    Tenacity

    Good call. :)

  • I hear there's 80% unemployment for we Autistics.

    So much for the idea that the Nazis tried to make more autistic people because we're better workers.

    Maybe in a different world, accepting of our different ways outside a very narrow conformity, it could be so. Irony. Heh.

    So far, since self diagnosis, and formal diagnosis, I've mostly had abuse, rather than support. This functioning country stuff sounds very appealing.

  • As we go back to the future, may I paraphrase Doc Emmett Brown:

    Roles?!

    Where we're going,

    we don't need...

    "roles".

  • And worse, beneath wage slavery, the "benefits" "welfare" system, that blackmails you into not doing anything, nor appearing like you're doing anything, lest suffering imposed destitution, starvation, freezing, and death by denial of medicine access; and sometimes they'll cull you in an hour of hate anyway even if you were conforming. The worst "bullshit job".

    So much lost potential.

    Does rather evoke the notion of a genuine UBI & social dividend as superior. ... But can we get that arranged in a mutual decentralised way, not dependent upon those who promote and enact dehumanising culls and countless other abuses upon us?

  • From my many distro-hoppings and distro-surfings, I thought I knew some great options for my uncle... Scientific Linux, top among them. ... Had spoke of dozens of others. Had not imagined he'd pick Puppy. XD Well over a decade now with Puppy as his daily-driver.

  • Yup.

    • Stopped using M$ Windoze late 2003.
    • Stopped using Amazon months later, after my first use.
    • Stopped using Github to host my code the day M$ bought it.
    • Many other examples besides these 3 highlights

    Still waiting for others to catch up.

    Newt was right:

    • Mummy always said, there are
    • no monsters
    • no real monsters
    • but there are.
  • Curious.

    I don't understand why this is getting such a heavy downvote.

    Can any downvoters kindly explain why they're chosing to downvote this?

    Thanks.

  • So hawt.
