Really, I'm not out to suck ass as much as Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.
@davidgerard NetBSD is feeling really nice these days.
Yes, the Nouveau is too old to recognize my graphics card, and the audio doesn't work for reasons I'm yet to investigage. It's not a setup everyone could accept. But for my needs, it's a relief to have a computer in my house that isn't subject to all this.

@davidgerard Well. So much for the Year of the Linux Desktop.

It's not just the year of linux on the desktop — it's the year of slop on the desktop. Deskslop even. Let's delve in to see how much it's been compromi- uhh I mean beep boop improved

@davidgerard "the community should stop trying to make contribution easy." is an incredible statement. Yes, everyone was spoiled by the extremely friendly and welcoming kernel submission experience, jumping through 900 flaming hoops on the LKML to get screamed at.

@davidgerard Middle-aged men, on very comfortable salaries. This is what happens.

@davidgerard wow, I thought I had more time to get rid of Linux completely. It is a much more pressing issue it seems.

Gonna format a storage device that can hold partitions for both Chimera Linux and NetBSD.
That way if I have to slink to linux land for compatibility issues i have a backup

@moralrecordings @davidgerard real strong “old men yell at those goddamn kids to get off their lawn” vibes from that whole thing.
Open source projects do definitely need to think about succession and passing projects on to the next generation, but I’m pretty sure “fuck you all, piss off” isn’t going to go down in history as one of the better plans for this.

@kawa @davidgerard Thank God Linux is rarely used on servers or embedded devices.
-
@jookia@social.tchncs.de @davidgerard@circumstances.run a further question is, what about git? will that also slopify?
-
@jookia@social.tchncs.de @davidgerard@circumstances.run yeah. I suppose. Time to see if I can restore the Commodores I had as a child.

@davidgerard@circumstances.run killing a project any percent

@jookia@social.tchncs.de @davidgerard Maybe I just haven't had the right Bad Experience, but it actually seems like the NetBSD folks are very open to contribution, and I've never felt so little friction to making the package universe or the drivers better. When I'm less loaded down with other tasks, both the graphical and audio drivers are things I'd like to help fix, although the audio will probably be the easier starting point.
I also have a wholesome ulterior motive. I am repeatedly on record with my belief that drivers should not be managed as part of a kernel - they should be independent projects reusable across multiple kernels. NetBSD is the only OS doing anything even in the ballpark - their kernels are designed to be usable in userspace for development purposes, but also with the benefit that other operating systems can use them. So any work I contribute, I can take with me for my microkernel project someday, too.
