It's been like this for a while.

I must be too stupid to get NetBSD running. I have OpenBSD installed just fine but for the life of me I just can't wrap my head around getting the amdgpu stuff working. I don't know why.

Can someone please tell the owner of https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/open-slopware that NetBSD does not in fact have a "Permissive AI Policy."

Too bad permissive licensing instead of copyleft (even as flawed as GPLv2 is) is a deal-breaker.

If people are gonna try NetBSD, please be aware of the "sysinst" command, it makes starting out a lot easier.

NetBSD, the only OS where typing ldconfig instantly bricks your system without warning.

Don't they still do development on mailing lists? That will keep contributors out for sure 👍

I’m going to try it on my ThinkPad X250 this weekend. I managed to install Gentoo with a handbook printout 25 years ago. This can’t be that much harder or am I in for a rough surprise?

I guess that's probably the push I need to but it on my dc5700s. That thing's been sitting on the shelf undeployed for too long.

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:

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

It's extraordinarily naive to believe NetBSD is Ai-free & especially that it will remain so. No project with multiple contributors is, some do make an effort to hide it well enough though.

BSDs will never catch up to linux because of their cuck licensing
