Oops, I dropped a "plausibly" there; "but now plausibly seems to be literally the case".

"The assassination was a false flag" was always far-fetched, but still plausible, y'know? Trump tried to stay up for the photo-op right after the bullets hit. Is that because it was planned? He's a pretty renown liar.

"The Secret Service is incompetent" is the most likely explanation, because armed security is all theatre. But this is the same Secret Service which erased all their text messages from January 5th and January 6th 2021. I don't think _that's a coincidence, and I don't trust them either.

And now we see his ear and the claimed "2 cm hole" is nowhere to be found. His ear is just fine. Trump won't release medical paperwork. What gives?

Of all the conspiracy theories out there, this is the most plausible one. But "plausible" is a super generous term for something unlikely. I'd still place 99-to-1 odds that

  • The Secret Service was too racist and incompetent to identify the threat,

  • Trump was barely grazed by bullets from a real assassination attempt,

  • He was too stupid and photoshoot-horny to keep his head down when bullets were flying, and

  • Lied about the damage to garner support and foment anger.

... But there's still that 1% chance that new evidence will come out in a year or two, and we'll feel kind of dumb, and conspiracy theorists will rejoice about being right for once for the rest of our lives.

This is the big thing blocking me from trying it even in passing curiosity.

That, and AFAIK the only feature I'm sold on (jails) doesn't have nearly the same support as Docker.

With jails I could probably become a BSD VPS provider in a few weeks of work, but I couldn't do any of the things that I'm liking about Docker.

Oh yeah, I've been convinced on the "BSD > Linux" debate ever since the most beautiful woman I've ever known waxed poetic on the elegance and power of BSD jails in comparison to Docker / LXC.

I have no compelling reason to use BSD desktop, my VPS provider doesn't support any BSD, I don't want to build my own router, etc.

It must be pretty arcane, it's used on... Checks the wikipedia article for FreeBSD Oh

i'm making fun of the linux community who happily adopts an underdog mindset by mental gymnastics

haiku and BSD are considered "linuxier" than androids and chromebooks, and only the most annoying linux nerds know what haiku and bsd are
