I don't want AI, at all, and especially not on my operating system. I am leaving my Macbook Pro at version 26 and will not update to 27 until there is some kind of master off switch. If that is not provided by Apple by the time I am ready to replace my computer than I will be going the open source route.

I am personally tired of Apple and Microsoft fattening up operating systems.

I know that Alpine has a package manager but I haven't tried it because I worry that Musl might present problems compiling software (I sometimes like to compile things myself, like Vim or Emacs). Is this worry valid?

Also are there any issues compiling Go and Rust programs on Alpine?

I only recently realized that xsv is now unmaintained. The author now suggests using qsv or xan.

I worked at a business that managed its inventory with dBase IV For DOS. I used it from 1997 to 2012, when the business closed. I personally liked it.

Speaking of OpenZFS encryption, has there ever been any third party review of the source code? Or any testing of any kind of its effectiveness?

I don't know why but having a minimal system that only contains what is needed really scratches an itch for me.

I have to admit to still having some philosophical discomfort over SystemD as I feel that it encompasses too much functionality. That said, it does work and that is probably the most important thing.

Doesn't Gentoo itself offer binary installation now?
