#openBSD runs servers and computers at #banks and other high-reliability-requirement institutions.

It gave rise to #openSSH and #libreSSL which I believe windows 10 uses to improve your parents' security online.

#ada was #DOD developed for defence application and now runs everything from #missiles to #railway signalling networks to #autopilots

The same is also true for #freeRTOS and #RTEMS which drive rockets into space. There are many #openSource programs involved in rocketry at the highest levels, both civil and martial.

Perhaps most importantly to parents, these are things you can exploit freely, a torch passed to you by others, free as in speech, a tool to better command whatever hardware you elect to use.

I hope you succeed in providing some food for thought about different ways to achieve success ;)

@koherecoWatchdog @snowdrift @utopify_org @JoYo @thegibson @socketwench @Tay0 @strypey @batalanto let's be honest - most users don't know what the lock mean or is supposed to mean or doesn't mean or that it is even there at all.

Most users don't even know what all the bells and whistles of their cars mean. If they don't bother to take the time to learn the ins and outs of the tech they use, they get what they deserve!

When a couple dies because they are fucking in the back seat while their #tesla #autopilots the dipshits off a cliff, that's one less car clogging up the roads; I feel zero sympathy for them. That's what they get for assuming that someone or some tech gives two shits about a the morons of the world. A solid life lesson, IMO.
