Official Apology: The Social Media Manager Incident

Dear Potabi Foundation Community,

    Recently, over on the @PotabiSystems Twitter, I tried applying a social media manager so I could focus my time on developing the operating system, and working on school. The social media manager I selected was a friend of mine, whom I have worked with before on projects like Discord bots, a website, Novuspax Technologies (an older startup project), among other things.

    Clearly, having trust he would be a good team member, and respectful to the community was a mistake. I take full responsibility for not doing my due diligence as the foundation president for whom would be running our social media accounts.

    Hostile comments were made, and even telling people to "fuck off" based on comments he disagreed with. At the time I had disabled notifications for the Twitter app. He sent me a link to an OMG! Ubuntu article relating to Firefox being installed as a Snap by default while saying "People are crazy hostile over this", and I brought the issue up wondering why that was. After a couple classes, someone did mention the comments being made on the @PotabiSystems Twitter, I went to check, and I confirmed it.

    This bad actor no longer has access to the Twitter, and I apologies for the comments he made. I should have done better making sure the community would have the best experience online, however, that hostility is unacceptable. We are not looking for a new social media manager at this time, as I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

    Thanks for your understanding
    - Kai Lyons, President of The Potabi Foundation

    Dancing Drums®, one of many hottest games on on line casino floors, is now out there in a thrilling stepper version! Dancing Drums 온라인카지노 Reels is the debut title on the gorgeous new TwinStar® 5RM cabinet, which boasts five dazzling reels with full RGB LED backlights, LED reel dividers, and bezel lighting. If a Fu Bat symbol appears on reels, gamers could also be} randomly awarded the function where gamers decide from 12 golden fortunate Coins to match three Fu Baby symbols that awards the corresponding jackpot. In the early days of slot machines, all of the games used mechanical reels. But now, most slot machines display reels on video screens, they usually often take and dispense cost by way of bills, vouchers, and tickets quite than coins or tokens.

Where BSD Fails, and Potabi Aims to Succeed: Websites

Image
Welcome to a new series of articles I will aim to support called "Were <thing> Fails, and Potabi Aims to Succeed", where I mention specific issues plaguing Linux, BSD, etc. With Potabi and CoreNGS being replacements to BSD and Linux, read Potabi's Biggest Misconception: It isn't BSD. if you haven't because it explains that we are not a BSD, just BSD-derived. When we say websites, I mean ALL websites. I will only be doing active-development BSD-branded operating system websites for most of the big name BSDs, meaning not HelloSystem, AiryxOS, TrueNAS, TrueOS, FuryBSD, etc. Specifically we will critique DragonFlyBSD, NomadBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, HardenedBSD, and GhostBSD. SoloBSD uses a blogspot for the main website, so I will ignore it. I want to explain why web-design is so important, and how it is often done wrong by the BSDs, and even many Linux distros. And what Potabi does to try and fix it. I am not trying to harass these operating systems, even...

Potabi 1.0 Dev Log: The Final Tasks

With the recent release of Beta-4 1.0A, Potabi is well on its way to being ready to release to the public. Beta-4 was a very difficult release to manage, especially with the concerns of our new ports system. What's in store for Potabi 1.0? What else is left to do? What are the last 3 betas? When are we dropping the A? What will be the final preparations for 1.0? What is Potabi 2.0 going to look like? Potabi 1.0 will essentially be very minimally different to our model: FuryBSD. I wanted to clarify something. No, Potabi is not "based on GhostBSD" as people like RoboNuggie in his 2-for-1 video you should 100% watch, even with this small mistake. That doesn't mean GhostBSD should gain no credit, since its builder is so similar to FuryBSD's, we actually did use some code and files from their project to fix certain issues we were having with FuryBSD's builder. Potabi 1.0's goal in release, as development continued, became less about "getting something per...

Potabi's Biggest Misconception: It isn't BSD.

As the lead developer of Potabi, I take full responsibility for fucking this one up. However, we are actually not a BSD system, it's supposed to be (long-term) a new UNIX branch all together, away from any BSD's. Potabi will later include bits and pieces from all sorts of operating systems, including (but not limited to) ReactOS, Illumos, Linux (clones of what they do at least, because of Linux's borderline-abusive license), HaikuOS, Minix, SerenityOS, and others. So Potabi plans to basically rework everything in FreeBSD long-term? Why? Instead of taking the SerenityOS route and doing it 100% from scratch, we are going to utilize open-source software that already exists to give us a short term boost.  But wait, isn't Potabi a "better FreeBSD for desktop and mobile"? Wasn't it a mobile OS? Yes, yes, but also, it's complicated. Potabi was originally just a way for me to get a better mobile OS , then it became bigger and bigger. It has long since not be...
