Troubleshooting on #Linux:
You try something new, and it probably works without having to do anything.
If it doesn't work, you enter into an eldritch horror of complexity and incomplete/conflicting documentation. You give up and just hope that the next version of Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora handles "X" automatically, because you just can't be arsed anymore.
Troubleshooting on #FreeBSD:
You try something new, and it probably doesn't work out of the box.
You fire up the handbook PDF, read through the two pages of pertinent documentation, install a pkg or two, tweak a config file, and bob's your uncle.
Linux bretheren, it need not be like this. It didn't use to be like this. We used to have documentation. HOWTOs. Now they're all obsolete because of needless drastic changes, politics, and empire-building.
*sigh*
someone was describing openBSD to me as software where incomplete documentation was a critical bug. If the docs arenโt complete and comprehensible, you donโt ship it.
Documentation feels like the difference between โcomputer magicโ and โcomputer scienceโ. If the docs arenโt complete, you are chanting spells and appeasing spirits and hoping that your supplications to the machine spirit will be favorable and acceptable.

Of note is that this is a response to the AI backlash, and a baby step. Mozilla is trying to have their cake and eat it too: adding AI, then giving customers a way to shut it off which Microsoft and Google won't do. It's too cute by half.

The saddest thing about this time of year is the lack of ants. ๐
I have my pet colony, (carpenters) and the ants at the museum. (honeypots and leafcutters) ... but I never see any ants in the park, or on the sidewalk or trees.
It's so lonely.
Have you wondered where all the ants go?
In winter ants like my carpenters enter "diapause" which is similar to hibernation in mammals. They prepare their bodies for cold and move slowly. Deep in the earth and in the trees they rest in a big pile.
I wonder if there have ever been migrating army ants?
Ants that don't build a nest and live in the south in the winter then make their way north as the weather warms eating everything in their path?
Maybe army ants just can't make enough progress in a day to get that far.
... but what if they brought back their wings? ๐ค ๐ ๐ฆ
But why would they need to migrate?
Once they reach the warm region around the equator, there would no longer be a need to keep migrating.
Well army ants need to keep moving since they eat all of the insects in one area so they need to leave and hunt somewhere else for a bit so they don't destroy the ecosystem.

It's now too easy to just churn out nonsense and you don't even need to read it before you print it. No one needs to read it. It's just a book as a symbolic object.
