>>1827 Is it time to just switch to BSD?

>>1842 Half of BSD is pozzed, too, with some CoCs originating there. The other half is fine in terms of management, and more-or-less kicked SJWs to the curb and let them run to the other BSDs. BSD has two big issues, though, and several smaller ones. First and foremost, BSD license is a cuck license. GPL actively prevents corporations from co-opting open source and supplanting it. They can develop their own alternatives, but not build on what exists as a starting point. OSX is a great example of why the BSD license dooms your project to failure. If your distribution ever catches on, a company can just repackage it with extra features and you become the underdog in your own ecosystem. For all of the problems with Linux making changes for corporate interests, these companies can only use tweaked kernels internally. If a phone OEM uses Android you can request their kernel changes and they must release them. Besides that, driver support is a concern, as is the general ecosystem. POSIX is on life support and you can't run most Linux-based software on a BSD without serious modifications even though their interface is nearly identical. And you'll be writing your own drivers. Realistically, BSD is going to die soon unless something radical happens. It's useful as a server OS where sysadmins know the ins and outs but Linux has spent 20 years trying (and failing) to capture the home desktop market. It's only making inroads now because it's dead simple on most DEs and Proton exists for gamers. Even then, it's like 1% market share and some people just can't grok a Unix workflow. So the answer is "yes" with the caveat of "if you like writing your own drivers for a dying ecosystem where nothing will work out of the box". Maybe in a world where Windows is dead and Linux is king the BSDs would see an uptick as well from people seeking alternatives, and intercompatibility and a new POSIX standard would be desirable. For now, Linux is leeching desktop users from both directions, though. When the current round of greybears retires or dies, BSD will probably die with it. I think Stallman is still handling GNU despite leaving his post at the FSF. Maybe Hurd will exist in usable form someday, but I think Stallman will die before it comes to fruition. It actually has a lot of neat features that enterprises might find useful, but they've never been demonstrated to work reliably outside of academic environments.

How pozzed are all these OSes? >9front: http://9front.org/ >AROS: http://aros.sourceforge.net/ >BSD <Net: https://www.netbsd.org/ <Open: https://www.openbsd.org/ <DragonFly: https://www.dragonflybsd.org/ >EndeavourOS: https://endeavouros.com/ >Oracle Solaris: http://www.oracle.com/solaris

>>1845 Net-, Open- and DragonFlyBSD are quite AIDS-free.

>>1843 OpenBSD is the most user friendly operating system I've used. (Not idiot friendly though, which is a good thing.) - It's easy to install. (Just boot the usb and press yes everywhere. You're done within like 3 minutes. It's really that fast.) - It's the most minimalist OS I've seen. The default install has like 40 packages? I've installed a bunch of compilation tools and gtk-stuff, tor-browser (which is actually a native package) and I'm only at 242 installed packages. It's impossible to bloat that system. - I can understand the filesystem. It's incredibly clean and there aren't too many files. -OpenBSD is "secure by default". I've had a hacker crack every Linux Box I've installed, but he didn't manage to crack OpenBSD. (This was actually the reason I've switched. pf (packet filter) is an easy to learn firewall. Also the software on OpenBSD is ofter times hardened through pledges and explicit unveiling, as well as other security mechanisms.) I could seriously list a lot of things. Just say if you want me to continue. XD haha I've switched to it as my main general purpose operating system after using it for a week or two. It's has a wonderful FAQ and good man pages, which explains everything you might want to know as a new user. It's actually a complete operating system, instead of just a kernel with some completely heterogeneously developed software but on top and fixed and kept in place with a bunch of glue and tape. But this also means it's not Linux and you will have to get used to it over a span of a few weeks. I agree that the BSD license is cuck license though. AGPL is the ultimate license. That's why Google is spreading fud about it. They are fucking scared of people adopting the AGPL. We have like two threads on OpenBSD over at: http://nanochanqzaytwlydykbg5nxkgyjxk3zsrctxuoxdmbx5jbh2ydyprid.onion/g

>>1845 out of all those dragonfly seems to most interesting. How good is it's native hardware support? only really care about amd which has a "opensource" driver for linux. Driver support for other operating systems that aren't linux has always been something i'm wery about. as an example, tried openbsd once. didn't work. only actually worked on my thinkpad which is kinda obvious cause every scruffy hacker owns a thinkpad for some reason.

>>1633 based desu. /g/ always seems to attract the most petulant of single-mother-raised-manchildren. >>1631 >It's become commonplace for tech startups to virtue signal, and for large open source projects to attract users who contribute little in terms of code but demand favorable treatment Most people in the tech industry are pozzed, courtesy of our degenerative society. It was only a matter of time, especially after one of the most ardent supporters of free speech in the tech sphere, Linus, began to back down. On the bright side, having a deeper knowledge of hardware and software allows for us to not be beholden to these faggots--due to the nature of technology. We should specify, use, and create non-pozzed software. I don't believe its possible for us to have the industry separate tech from politics anymore, regardless, the battle shouldn't be fought there. Technology and sciences should be places such that our genius is allowed to flourish unfettered by worldly qualms. Arguing about politics in this area is just unneeded baggage and detrimental to our craft.

In light of this debacle. It is possible that Github could possibly look into changing it's Company Policy and thus code of conduct >GitHub regrets firing Jewish employee who called Trump-incited mob “Nazis” >GitHub Inc. yesterday apologized for firing a Jewish employee who had urged colleagues to "stay safe" and avoid "Nazis" on the day a mob incited by President Trump stormed the US Capitol. GitHub said it "reversed the decision" and indicated it is trying to hire the employee back. >"Stay safe homies, Nazis are about," the employee, whose identity hasn't been revealed publicly, wrote in an internal Slack chat room on January 6. He was fired two days later, after one "coworker was quick to criticize the employee for using divisive rhetoric" >"I did not know that, as a Jew, it would be so polarizing to say this word," the former employee wrote in a Slack group for Jewish employees shortly "before his corporate accounts got deactivated. The former employee is Jewish and had family who died in the Holocaust >The sacking was reportedly explained by the human relations representative who did the deed, with a “pattern of behavior that is not conducive to company policy.” >The fired employee spoke with TechCrunch last week before GitHub announced its decision to reverse the firing. The man "says he is (((currently seeking counsel to ensure his family is protected, as well as figure out if he can receive damages or some other form of reconciliation"))) and that he ((("is waiting to engage with the company until he has legal representation in place,"))) >The fired employee said he was also threatened with being fired in October when he complained about a lack of (((diversity))) in GitHub leadership. ((("I feel like this could be an opportunity for GitHub to really do a purge and say, 'Do we want white supremacists at this company and how do we get Black leaders into executive management?")))

Incredibly enough, Leah Rowe of all people has come to the defense of RMS. https://libreboot.org/news/rms.html Shocking news. I had written off the entire Libreboot project after the nonsense, but I might reconsider now. This was a very level-headed take, and aside from some minor bitching about RMS' distaste for plural pronouns being used for singular people I agree with it entirely. It's good to see some people have his back still, even those he's had disagreements with. There's also a huge chunk at the end shitting on projects with a code of conduct. Truly magnificent.

>>3289 It's no surprise that there's much more signatures in support compared to the ones that want to cancel him again. https://rms-support-letter.github.io/

>>3289 Thanks for the link there anon, bit of heartening news

>>3289 Site is down atm. What relevance does the GCC Steering Committee that removed Stallmann have? How much power do they have over gcc's developement?

>>3289 " RMS is NOT transphobic I’ve been good friends with Richard for many years. I did have a falling out with him (publicly so) a few years ago, but we made up. He has always respected me. When my project, Libreboot, was in the process of joining GNU, I wasn’t out as trans. I came out as trans not long before Libreboot became GNU Libreboot. RMS switched to she/her with me on the spot. No problems. Some people have linked to the following article and suggested that he is transphobic: https://stallman.org/articles/genderless-pronouns.html Specifically, people believe that RMS refuses to use correct pronouns with people. People believe that RMS is transphobic for saying per/perse instead of accepting they/them. Let me tell you something: Richard sent me and several other people a copy of that article when he was drafting it. I repeatedly urged RMS not to do per/perse when he suggested it. I strongly suggested that he use they/them when referring to someone generically. When he decided to use per/perse, I was annoyed but not offended; you see, I regard it as idiotic. Clearly, they/them is commonly understood and will cause the least amount of misunderstanding. Being foolish is not the same thing as being transphobic. If you actually tell Richard your preferred pronouns, he’ll use them with you without hesitation. Several of my friends are trans and also speak to Richard, mostly via email. He respects their pronouns also. Funnily enough, the GNU project has these guidelines about pronouns: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.en.html - see: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.en.html#f1 Not transphobic. At all. Same per/pers bullshit. Not transphobic, just stupid. I wasn’t misgendered by other GNU developers when my project, Libreboot, was in GNU. Calling RMS a transphobe is an insult to people who suffer from real transphobia." He would have been better off being anti-trans and telling people to go fuck themselves.

>>1827 >made him out to be a pedo Being a pedo is perfectly reasonable: little girls are cute. YHWH explicitly allows child brides. RMS is a Jew.

>>1843 >GPL actively prevents corporations from co-opting open source and supplanting it Grsecurity would like a word with you. These licenses aren't worth shit if everyone KNOWS you will NEVER sue over them.

>>3428 There is no reason to sue random people over it as it wouldn't be worth the time, but if a big corporation infringes on the license you stand to win millions of dollars and it becomes worth it.

>>3429 >There is no reason to sue random people over it as it wouldn't be worth the time, but if a big corporation infringes on the license you stand to win millions of dollars and it becomes worth it. Grsecurity isn't a random person. They're a corporation (now) and say they're "doing well". They have govt contracts. And have done the most blatant copyright violation against linux copyright holders in history.

go back to pol you stupid fajak

>>1619 I don't think he really knows what specfically he's mad about

>>14012 You are retarded.

>>1826 He became woke.

>>15395 True, indeed. However, Linus used to be better and not a woke cucklord. He's gotten his brain fried substantially by his daughter's influence and clownery. However, As much of a fool he has become, he's no resetera retard levels of hypocrisy. Also, so what if he's an atheist, how is that wokeness in and of itself? The part women's right to "choose" aka an abortion is best left to the states, not the federal government. Has he forgotten how many people died in countries that got under (((communist))) rule!?

NixOS has purged "nazis" who disagreed with allowing an lgbt permanent leader seat from the project and forced the former project lead to abdicate.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsDYul3J3Dc Why are there so many trannies in Linux dev?

>>15579 Yeah, I saw that. What the fuck is going on with Nix? Seems like they had a decent thing going, but now the troons are fucking it up.

>>15587 It seems they saw a chance to take over when the same leader was basically partnering with some military drone company that used nix a lot, and the usual software pacifism drums started beating and had to keep beating.

>>15592 So basically the troons took over the project because the founder is too weak willed to defend himself.

>>15586 The F in FOSS makes it the home of anarchists. Digital infrastructure enables an essentially post-scarce world-wide economy, it's practically made for commies.
