@prahou i think i should be worried about snac. it's right in my apartment!
I have like zero respect left for developers who use LLMs to write or maintain their software.
I don't even care for the reasons why they use this unethical piece of... technology.
Technology trained on data they don't own. Technology owned and shaped by fascists. Technology that sends its crawlers around the globe to suck every bit they can find to dump their models into big f***ing corp data centers. Data centers that are polluting the air with their big ass gas plants.
But hey! "Leave ethics aside". "That's how software development works today!".
I'm so sick of this and about everyone supporting this industry.
If you feel targeted, you are welcome. I have zero respect for you or your software garbage. I just wish you the worst.
The internet loses one forever.

@j-g00da day late but happy birthday. heard you like lain
@tibi2 thanks! even mr mobilek is there!
@j-g00da mobilek took the most time out of this whole picture. a whole 10 min
@tibi2 woah it’s spinning counter-clockwise!
@j-g00da due to its demonic nature
@tibi2 speaking of mobileks, check out my mobilek with 3.5” floppy drive. It also doesn’t work because big ai ate all raspberry pis
@justine Just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to MangoWM!
I know you tooted about it ages ago, but now I had the time to try out Wayland on OpenBSD and I'm getting on so well with it 
If you run a matrix synapse instance, it's time to patch. 11 vulnerabilities just fixed.
@jerry Do you know of any good hosting services for Matrix? I'd like to not use Discord, but I haven't had luck finding a hosting service.
@infoseclogger the only one I know of is element.io, but I suspect that is not an inexpensive solution
@jerry @infoseclogger
Hello,
https://etke.cc/ could also be an option.
I haven't tried it personnaly... Let us know how it goes !

I really like your minimalist snac2 project, that makes me take look at your source code :)
So I come up with "Share-btn" idea 
the patch into html.c around 25 lines of code if include the spaces and all it shows 28 lines of code.
I almost done with quoting post, but I faced with handshake with author policy FEP-044f, there's no point of that feature if I won't follow that policy. That patch contained around 25 lines as well, since you already wrote the quote-post rendering "
", so it didn't took me that much time to design it;)Anyway, I didn't use the quote patch it is only the share-btn with 28 lines of code, I hope you like it, you may see the screen shot of prototype attached to this post
I appreciate any suggestion from you, If you think it is bullshit just say it, I respect snac's rules and philosophy

@hey I am staying with my trusty pixel 7a until it runs out of support. Then I will check out the motorola grapheneos status.
Just paid €399 on a cat themed limousine rental and found out the fee doesn't include a driver.
Spent all that money and have nothing to chauffeur it.

Underrated #vim advantage: when using vim mode in every other editor, you don't have to learn new keybindings all the time. Shortcuts are always the same. Weird and counterintuitive, but consistent
🎤 I washed my ass with menthol soap again 🧼
@catsalad I think it is a quite common ingredient for many "refreshing" intimate soaps here in Italy. Maybe we're biased by the fact that the "bidet" lavatory here is in almost any house, at least in one bathroom.
IDK who needs to hear this, but...
@catsalad Me, I sent the BT this sweet text 🔽 and immediately followed it up with the clip of the little cat screaming… It was perfect. 🤣 🤣 🤣
@catsalad thanks for sharing with us.
Meanwhile,I am also the Director of #GreenYouthaMovement an organisation operating to improve food security and promote environmental conservation in central Uganda.
Would you help us in marketing our work such that we can be able to raise more awareness to different people who can even help in expanding our programs through feeding more vulnerable families,training more young people and establishing a large tree nursery and food forest?
@catsalad My big boy cat came running once he heard the Big Meow. He is very concerned. He's still circling my chair, trying to determine where the Big Meow originated!
@catsalad The really funny thing is that I have zero visuals to rely on, and the cat is just purring away while approaching, so the vocalization was still very much a surprise despite reading the description beforehand. Bravo.
Remember to take care of the important stuff.
I did a search for Linux distributions that are not actively using AI and DuckDuckGo gave me only links to articles and Linux distributions that are using AI or are built for use with AI. Zero results for what I was asking for. Search is absolutely dead.
@cmccullough Debian is currently voting on this issue, with the leadership seemingly against "AI" contributions for the usual reasons (code quality, questionable license, contributors actually understanding the code they commit).
I don't think the Void maintainers have said one way or the other, but I'd imagine they would be opposed for the same reasons.
Beyond Linux, NetBSD and Haiku have officially said they will not accept "AI" contributions.
As for OpenBSD, Theo has said that he's against slop in the project, but so far nothing has been done about the tmux situation, so it's on shaky ground with me.
That's about all DuckDuckMorgan can report on the situation 
@kaidenshi Yeah, I'm a Debian user and have been for many, many years. I hope they vote against the use of AI. Also, looking at the BSDs as an option for my daily OS. I've been running FreeBSD for a few months on an extra desktop. I really should look at NetBSD.
@cmccullough I don't know your needs for a daily driver, but NetBSD isn't quite there for my uses. Ditto Haiku, it's *so close* but I feel like it's still years away in reality.
I'm back on Void for the time being, and my spare workstation is still on OpenBSD, both of which do everything I need from a daily OS. I also have Tribblix on a third PC, and it's in between NetBSD and OpenBSD as far as meeting my daily needs.
I feel like the room is getting much smaller though, given the state of things. I really hope Debian votes on the side of sanity.
@kaidenshi Thanks for the reply. I've been running Debian for years and do love it, but I've been testing FreeBSD for the past few months on an extra desktop. It's been years since trying OpenBSD and NetBSD but I really should change that.
@cmccullough I do feel FreeBSD is the best overall for most people for desktop use, especially since their recent initiative to improve the OS in that space. It's certainly the most performant and has the largest ports catalog. They have stated they are against LLM contributions.
I personally don't use that OS for my own reasons and I don't want to get political in your post. Suffice to say it's not for me anymore, though I certainly enjoyed using it in the past, and even wrote about it on my site.
@kaidenshi I would be very interested in your reasons for not using it as a daily driver. I'm working through a few decisions on making the move after Torvalds made some shitty comments about the Linux kernel and AI the other day. You can DM me if you'd like. Also, completely understand if you would rather not talk about the reasons.
@cmccullough I don't mind sharing here if you don't mind it.
Basically, FreeBSD embraced XLibre as an alternative to Xorg and Wayland, and I am diametrically opposed to that project due to its maintainers loudly broadcasting their genocidal, racist, and fascist beliefs. They even say shit like they are "deliberately misgendering" Debian by maintaining their own package for that distro. Fuck those guys.
And so, I won't run FreeBSD even though I don't have to run XLibre, because they won't kick the Nazis out of their tent.
I guess it really is time to throw in the towel, chuck out all tech and live a free life without computers.
CC: @cmccullough@polymaths.social @kaidenshi@exquisite.social
@gmc @cmccullough I wish I could say it's just a case of a port flying under the radar, but:
1. A full-on replacement for Xorg and Wayland is not just some random port, it's a major part of using FreeBSD as a desktop OS, and in my opinion, regardless of ideology, it should have undergone much more testing and scrutiny from a purely technological standpoint
2. In several different threads about XLibre on the FreeBSD forums, people tried to bring up the issues surrounding the project's maintainers being outwardly racist and homophobic. The forum admins would belittle them, harass them, and even ban them. All of that clearly goes against the FreeBSD CoC, as does welcoming such a project in the first place
All of that makes FreeBSD a poisoned well for my uses, so I won't run it anymore, even for servers where XLibre doesn't come into play. It's the principle.
I was looking into NetBSD anyway, been wanting to get into that for years. I'd really want some kind of isolation (ie, freebsd jails, linux containers), and I see NetBSD has something called 'cells' which does that.
Anyway, on the desktop (ie, my laptop), the only thing that supports what I want (basically suspend/resume and wifi) is Linux. I was hoping for FreeBSD to get there with suspend/resume in 15.2, but that hope is now futile knowing that they're fascist-apologists.
Sigh.

@cmccullough @gmc NetBSD has committed to no LLM contributions, but nothing official out of OpenBSD and the last tmux commit, which is in base, is slopcoded.
CC: @cmccullough@polymaths.social @kaidenshi@exquisite.social
@gmc @cmccullough as far as I'm aware, NetBSD doesn't have a CoC or similar guidelines. Do with that what you will. I know some folks don't worry about that kind of thing until a conflict arises, then they see which way the project goes. For others, a CoC is mandatory for them to use or participate in a project at all.
Circling back to FreeBSD, they do have a CoC that would appear to block something like XLibre from becoming a part of the OS, but it seems like it's being ignored. Again, do with that what you will. I choose to not use FreeBSD for that reason.
It's dumb, but FreeBSD is a very corporate endeavour, and a USA based onebat that, so yeah...
CC: @cmccullough@polymaths.social @kaidenshi@exquisite.social
@gmc I was referring to the following part of the CoC:
"The FreeBSD community has always worked to be a welcoming and respectful community, and we want to ensure that doesn’t change as we grow and evolve. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to:
be friendly and patient,
be welcoming,
be considerate,
be respectful,
be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others,
when we disagree, try to understand why.
This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can’t do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it’s intended - a guide to make it easier to communicate and participate in the community.
This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the FreeBSD project. This includes online chat, mailing lists, bug trackers, FreeBSD events such as the developer meetings and socials, and any other forums created by the project that the community uses for communication. It applies to all of your communication and conduct in these spaces, including emails, chats, things you say, slides, videos, posters, signs, or even t-shirts you display in these spaces. In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may, in rare cases, affect a person’s ability to participate within them, when the conduct amounts to an egregious violation of this code."
The FreeBSD forum moderators' attacks against anyone who questioned the addition of XLibre to ports clearly violates those rules. In addition, XLibre maintainers' public attacks on people of any race other than white and any orientation or gender other than cishet male, along with their cheering on of the ongoing genocides against Palestinians and Ukrainians, means the project should never have been associated with the OS in the first place.
And yes, there is definitely that corporate stink all over FreeBSD, something I ignored in the past but no longer in light of these events.
Fact is, I think the same goes for NetBSD. Sure, they might have a 'we only allow slop with written consent from core' policy now (and note that that doesn't say 'no slop'), but that's not a principled stand but more of a practical one about copyright concerns. If the practical objection goes away, they'll probably allow slop just like any other project eventually does.

Wwhich is, of course, not the base system, which is where tmux is in openbsd, but still.
CC: @cmccullough@polymaths.social @kaidenshi@exquisite.social
@gmc @cmccullough Yeah I am more concerned about tmux slop in OpenBSD base than in NetBSD ports. It sets a precedent that so far has not been addressed.

@gmc Thanks, I wasn't aware tmux was in NetBSD base, I thought it was a port.
I think in general NetBSD tends to stay several versions behind the other BSDs with the software that make up its base so I wonder if the version it ships actually has the first (disclosed) use of Claude, which from what I can tell was committed to the OpenBSD source tree on December 17th 2025 (see below). I don't have time this morning to dive deep into this but I will definitely do so when I do have time.

@rl_dane 💯
Aarrgg!
There's not a lot of options, sadly.
I'm experimenting with #NetBSD, as they have a strong anti-slop stance, but the second you start installing packages, you're getting slop. They can't police everything.
@rl_dane @corvus @cmccullough still people can use @E as DE and develop new apps using E utils
@jaypatelani @corvus @cmccullough @E
I haven't messed with Enlightenment in a quarter century. Do they have a strong anti-AI stance?
@rl_dane @corvus @cmccullough @E currently they don't have any AI policies on website. We should ask on their mailing list.

Well, that's kind of damning: https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/f3b327fa6f8b4ff6f758a8b9e8190aa20109e222
@netbsd ? 🥺
Re: tmux in OpenBSD, false positives are possible, because the tool is just looking at filenames and metadata, not actual file contents. If they're copying source code from a slop project, but not the metadata/commits, then it will give you a false negative.
Not as damning as one might think.
That's a commit to external/ where Christos Zoulas is importing into NetBSD's mirror all of the changes made to the original ISC BIND in version 9.20.24, en bloc. M. Zoulas didn't use the LLM, and the LLM-generated code is only one of a whole slew of changes made to the BIND source tree in that version.
The person who uses the LLMs is Michal Nowak who works for ISC in QA.
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/commit/e13302a6bc9b196564b5e7afe703fae24311ceeb
#ISC has an explicitly pro-LLM stance on #BIND, and I wouldn't be surprised if #Kea and DHCP follow suit.
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/merge_requests/12363
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#contributing-code
There have been good reasons not to use ISC BIND for over a quarter of a century (monolithic software, runs with superuser privileges, multiple hats, lots of parsing). Alas, it is an expenditure of time and effort on the #NetBSD people's parts to switch to a non-LLM-generated DNS server software. But it is well past due.
It is In Progress.

Would it be an interest to anyone if I started a youtube channel around creating sensory safe spaces for autistic people using free opensource software?
I have spent a decade with home assisant building automations and scenes to suite my sensory needs. Wonder if anyone else would benefit.

@justine Although not the same thing, “tiling” can be achieved manually via the window-expand command, or more automatically via cowrearrange.
cowrearrange tile but there are very similar issues with window sizing that we had earlier. I have posted another bug report. Sorry. 😉@justine Great! Thanks. I’ll take a look in a few hours! It’ll be because cowrearrange has separate logic. Should be easy enough to fix. 🙂
I’m loving the bug reports, thank you. 🙂
@justine I used i3 for over 13 years and then went back to stacking WMs. Manipulating its layout tree requires too much thought for my taste.
With stacking WMs I can simply resize and move the window to the edge where I want it to be, with the keyboard, without interfering with other windows.
And fvwm is quite versatile, allowing you to modify it to your needs.

The situation with storage prices is wild. As someone who takes lots of pics and video, it's getting pretty bad. I've noticed the reemergence of v10 sd cards on online shops. I sincerely hope costs start to subside soon.
@jerry I am glad I pulled the trigger on hard drives for my NAS when I did. managed to get 4 x 16tb datacenter pull Hitachi drives for $175/per
@jerry yeah, I remember when I was selling 64gb cards for 5€ and now it's 15€
These days is way worse for someone that his 32gb ram breaks and has to replace, than a new motherboard.
@jerry I had to disassemble my NAS and took a shot of the SSDs I removed. That got people asking why I posted my retirement fund 😏.
I do think I am going to have to increase the price of Mastodon Gold by 25% to offset increase costs
@jerry
Easy.
