While we're at it, please hassle employers to donate to OpenBSD so we don't get another heartbleed

Idk, but apparently they still do webhosting

Fossil is the best. Sqlite uses it

They made 6502 and Z80 clones as well, nintendo used them iirc

Powers not dead yet! IBM is still clinging to it and I can't blame them, it's a pretty good ISA

I was hoping risc-v. One of these days

Even then, English has become the defacto language of computing. Some amount of knowledge of its basic vocab is expected, and many computer related words in other languages are english loanwords.

Even back in the day they were bad. Things generally worked but were rarely pleasant

and, as is being increasingly forgotten, SOUND QUES. Seriously, I get they can be annoying but they make navigating and interacting with things so much easier if you can't see them. Sure, TTS exists but is far more inefficient and objectively less helpful in these kinds of circumstances

Funny how that works. It's almost as if the web was designed to be a tool for semi-interactive documents instead JVM-esque WODE environment

I know some minimalists who use one as their mobile phone exclusively

I miss itanium. I feel like a madman for saying it, but I do. Something about it is just alluring to me. Alas, the problems were too hard to solve or weren't worth solving anymore

Ironically, it died around the time LLMs/AI started becoming good. I feel like the compiler problems with vliw could be solved to a degree with a purpose built ai

OpenBSD is the most security hardened OS out there, and the project maintains many pieces of software people take for granted, like pf, openssh, and libressl. FreeBSD is definitely the most robust, and is a very good server OS. NetBSDs niche is how many platforms can run it. If it's supported by GCC, theres a decent chance NetBSD will run on it

Specifically, their old bluetooth code was crap so they chose to get rid of it. If someone wants to have OpenBSD bluetooth, they'll gladly accept patches if the code meets their very strict standards

They don't like GPLv3. The other BSDs used similarly old versions until they moved to clang, but netbsd is pretty tied to the gnu toolchain and aims to be as portable as possible, so they kinda have to stick to gcc
