Gentoo is losing sponsors while a certain other distro keeps raking them in.

We truly are in hell

Modern bitches too dumb to stage1 without AI.

Linux accepts LLM code so I swapped to OpenBSD. It’s a shame but I really love the community and humanity that comes from people, human beings, working together towards a goal.

I used Gentoo for a while before that and loved it but, alas, the community and Linux as a whole just doesn’t share my values.

I would say, for anyone using Linux and looking for a change of pace, OpenBSD is awesome and is still in that space of “respecting the user”

Afaik Gentoo is anti AI. As much as they can while still using the kernel I guess.

They are which is encouraging but I find culture tends to “floe from the top”.

I fear its only a matter of time.

OpenBSD has it’s strong suit and niche of Agency and Department usage across the world and does not give one snap, crackle, or pop about “users”. Thems the beans.

Ironically I rather like the fact that OoenBSD’s culture is a bit anti-user.

In my older age I’m discovering that being regarded with derision is another type of respect. Linux, like Windows before it, caters to its users. The BSD’s respect you enough to assume you’re smart enough to cater to it.

It helps that kernel code base is orders of magnitude smaller than the Linux kernel.
