I've read only today about a woman being kicked off a flight kicked out of a flight because she misgendered a flight attendant a couple of months ago. I won't enter into specifics of the story, nor comment on it as a pilot/captain.

But I will say some words as a human being because it's happened to me so much lately.

Please, do not misgender or deadname someone. Don't make fun of somebody's body or dressing, even if it might seem to you as an innocent joke.

It's humiliating and destabilizing. We are already fighting a big battle inside our brains, more than you can imagine and perhaps more than it appears from the outside. Not everybody is so strong.

Your words or attitude can change our day from a bright one to the day we might do something stupid.

It doesn't take much to be kind. In doubt, it's ok to ask.

On behalf of the @FreeBSDFoundation and the Enterprise WG, we're pleased to announce the "Podman test project".

From September 2 to October 11, 2024, the FreeBSD Open Container Initiative Runtime Extension Working Group is hosting a time-boxed testing project for its experimental implementation of Podman. If you’re comfortable with experimental software and have experience with Docker or Podman, we want you on board. You only need a machine running FreeBSD 13.2 or later (possibly with the latest) with ZFS storage.

More information on:
https://github.com/oci-playground/freebsd-podman-testing

We want this test to be successful. This is IMHO a significant step toward a wider acceptance of FreeBSD as a viable enterprise platform to a broader audience.

I'm glad to have contributed to this project. I need to thank Alice from the @FreeBSDFoundation and Doug (@dfr) for having worked on this so much.

Also, the base FreeBSD OCI images are kindly provided by your trusted @tara and @winterschon 🤗
