due to a race condition, most of our linus torvalds have been knocked offline and now we’re only left with one linu torvald and boy does he fucking suck at programming

We are more in agreement than you realize:

I guess now is a good as time as any to “come out”: I'm using #Anthropic's #Claude on a regular basis to help me figure out what types of policies we should set for reasonable & ethical use of #LLMGenAI in #FOSS, & also to actually improve FOSS codebases.

I believe it is reasonable to use proprietary technologies as long as our eyes remain on the prize of defeating those technologies.

@cwebber, I suspect, doesn't agree.

@zzt Copyright means it doesn't have to be reasonable invoices for labor. All of us with code in the kernel should be slapping them with infringement suits for their violating the terms of the GPL under which they're using our code.

and again if you need stability and netbsd is thiiis close to being perfect on your hardware, please don’t let me stop you from tinkering with it and contributing and making it work do let me stop you from pretending it’s a solution to anything but your problems on your hardware, though

you think I’m a psyop? I fucking love BSD and I’d love to close my eyes and go back to tinkering with my system, on old hardware I purchased specifically to work with a specific kernel, doing nothing of value for anyone but myself but doing that wouldn’t fix anything, would it?

the big men of FOSS told you that you were no good at organizing, at the messy legal bits, at licensing, at the social bits. they demanded fealty and money because they were the organizers. how could you hope to come up with a (laughably weak) document like the GPL? with 1000 variants of the BSD […]

you know, I was hoping I already made this clear netbsd taking money from a relatively unknown fascist group doesn’t damn them. they likely didn’t know who FUTO was. most people don’t. if it runs ok on your hardware (and that’s a big “if”), netbsd is likely a more stable choice than any Linux […]

the FOSS we imagined was real. otherwise we wouldn’t have all imagined it. but the people who promised it to us have all failed to protect it. all of the systems and all of the protections we were told about were worthless. all of them are currently trying to accomplish the switch portion of a […]

netbsd isn’t necessarily compromised, but they absolutely aren’t your friends. you don’t know them. if we want the FOSS we all imagined, where the marginalized come together to share and contribute to a software ecosystem that can benefit humanity for many generations, it’ll involve rather more […]

anyone wondering what’s bad about FUTO funding netbsd and netbsd not turning down the money is welcome to explore FUTO’s YouTube channel, which platforms right-wing cranks and spreads disinformation, FUTO’s site, which is full of fascist dogwhistles and references to other fascist disinformation […]

It will never stop being ironic to me that the one place I am certain never to stumble on LLM slop is piracy websites. I use piracy websites like the best catalog ever and then I go check out media from my local library. I am sure people have tried to upload LLM slop to piracy websites, but the […]

I’m serious about this too, by the way Linux as a project and as an ecosystem asked for our labor under false pretenses why hasn’t its organizing foundation been flooded with itemized invoices for that labor? and if you do this, include the hours you burned doing advocacy, too. that shit […]

“huh huh huh if you’re so unhappy with how linus is leading the kernel, you can always ask for a refund” bet. where do we send the invoices for all the labor we donated to the Linux ecosystem under a promise that’s now repeatedly been broken? the Foundation can cover it at standard consultants’ […]

your server will probably do quite well on netbsd! hopefully moving to another system as a single point of failure won’t bite us in case the netbsd maintainers have a price too that isn’t at all sarcasm by the way, I am literally hoping they can’t be bought because structurally, moving to […]

I really like the BSD userland compared with the tower of awful hacks (with a weird fandom) that the Linux one is I don’t relish the lack of hardware support and associated extreme frustration and packing up your shit and moving really feels more polite and more fragile than the dickheads […]

on the one hand, a much younger me really loved hacking on a BSD and learning internals up close on the other hand, a current day me really liked building on top of a unix-like kernel that worked on a broad modern hardware base and could run every application I wanted it to, until the slop got […]
