    Reasons why BSDs especially NetBSD getting more users or first time trying users.

      I use Trisquel, one of the FSF approved distros. So far it seems to have held up well against a lot of the less inviting changes in the Linux space, but it is based on Ubuntu. I do wonder how much longer it will hold up until I end up making the jump to a BSD system. Not the fault of the developers, just that the flow of the base system is too strong to fight against forever.

      There are folks in the occult space that think LLM’s are possessed by evil spirits. Yeah, I know, make of that what you will.

      BUT, when I see folks at the top and the way they talk about this stuff, my rational mind kind of wavers and you see people who are just completely and totally absorbed with these things. Maybe them occult folks are on to something. 🙃

      Scary to see, it is like alzheimer’s disease in how it eats away at the persons autonomy below but unlike that disease, it still maintains enough cognition for them to be functional in society. For better or worse.

    Are there any good news even lately. Every day I wake up to a new CVE, the list of things in the post title isn’t encouraging either.

      CVEs mean the issues are getting found and fixed instead of sitting on a three letter agency’s arsenal.

      and all the end-user has to do is update.

        I agree, but it does not make my job any easier trying to keep up with fixing systems that management refused to update before.

          well, it’s our job. (and management can have the broken systems they wanted to, see if i care)

      There are good news too, but those doesn’t NEED to be told to everyone. A CVE is very important to get it out as fast and to many possible. But if something good happens, it doesn’t have the urgency and need to reach everyone in short possible time. Plus bad news are for most people more interesting and get you clicks too, just to add to the fuel. And Ai doesn’t help with that either.

      Therefore its only natural that we see more bad news than good news.
