And this cartoon that includes a bit about Daemonarchy has stirred a mod of r/FreeBSD into putting pressure on its artist

Artist's response:

Please don't scroll past. This is important.

I am being pressured by FreeBSD's reddit moderation team to censor the Omarchy #content_review or to remove it completely. They have began a harrasment campaign with the goal of removing me from this world.

the review: https://
merveilles.town/@prahou/117501303459299869

The issue at hand is that a picture of a partial swastika appears in close proximity to the word FreeBSD, this they perceive as an attack on the FreeBSD project - if you've seen a newspaper before, you might understand the principle of two separate unrelated articles appearing next to each other. You might also understand that I am reporting on common associations with the Topic of the review. These are not my inventions, and I am not calling anyone anything. I am reporting on the news. Nevertheless, as much as I am a journalist, I am an artistè, and if my audience sees in my work something I didn't put there, I am not going to take that experience away from them. This probably says more about them than it does about me.

While I am a man of principle, there is one thing I like more - money.

I will delete it for $2,000. For $5,000 I will apologize. For $10,000 I will use daemonarchy exclusively for 6 months on all my computers. For $25,000 I will not do anything. For $75,000 I will not post anything for a month.

To everyone who likes my work, this message is for you (from said freebsd moderator) [cw ableist slur]: https://beige.party/@fuzzy/117510032933612034

To everyone else who feels personally attacked by my art: send money, you can end this here and now.

Thank you for your attention.

ps: i did not post anything on reddit, i just know the same person who has been cyberbullying me on the fediverse is a moderator of the freebsd subreddit

pls boost

Another article, from The Reg:

Ah yes. The power to serve fascism.

This is amazing, I've been wanting to try NetBSD for a long time.

This was written by a robot, right?

MenuetOS

One day

This is really cool, thanks for sharing. It's been a while since I played with BSDs but Asterina / Redox sound extremely interesting

I'd love to be able to use 9front as a daily driver.

I believe Redox is going the Microkernel route.

This makes me wonder whether Linux will ever really die, or at least stop being the de facto kernel for serious people. Perhaps HURD will previal in the very end.

In all seriousness, I wonder what's next, if there's a next. Probably just something UNIX-like again. I would like to see a microkernel, though.

Awwwwwww

Yeah, you might say I'm into alternative alternative computing

No 9front.

AROS

Redox OS, Haiku, and NetBSD are the major alternatives that are taking a stand against AI contributions. If the Linux kernel isn't forked at some point, I could see those alternatives getting more attention in the future.

I would also add:

• OpenBSD
• NetBSD
• DragonFly BSD
• FreeDOS
• Illumos (OpenSolaris fork)

no 9front?

True believers already know about TempleOS. Anyone who doesn't is an infidel.

No TempleOS?

Okay found it https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/f3b327fa6f8b4ff6f758a8b9e8190aa20109e222

It is BIND9 import but as far as I remember NetBSD devs deleted claude commits from import. Claude name is from commit message scanned by AI scanners but you can ask more about it on NetBSD mailing list

Well, it din't exactly ban it, but it did set some strict and sensible restrictions. As a result, there is only a single AI-generated commit in the OS:

It is a fairly large commit. However, it is dwarfed by the Linux kernel, which has thousands of slop commits.
