Why am I in this photo?

This is FreeBSD.

But I guess I’m also a debian, arch, and nixos user so it cancels out

Rich or dumpster diver? Taking all bets! I also offer videoooo pokeeeeeer!

I feel like if you’re at that point you’re developing your own kernel (just a hobby project, won’t be anything big)

Lol

They just look ironed to me

Nah, it's both of them. The difference is, Gentoo gives you a cotton gin and a loom.

Same as compression socks, but you get to brag about how it took 2 hours to get them on.

Armor, some PCBs can get pointy.

For some reason this made me think of spaghetti, which is straight until it gets hot and wet, and actually, SpaghettiOS would not be a bad name for a distro. Except for trademark issues etc, but still.

Although obviously, straight people can make things for lesbians/lesbians can use things made by straight people (and they often do!)

Also technically, gay people can marry someone of the opposite gender and have kids with them (and they sometimes do!)

Didn't he kill himself?

Edit: I read the article. Yes he did.

Why the downvotes? I had the same question. It's hard to keep track.

RFC 98 was co-created and championed mostly by a person who has a history of within-organization agitation, first within Google, and now within Nix. They have a history of social activism and labor organization, and as far as I can tell, they are employed or contracted in various capacities that allow them to pursue these goals. By any reading, they are extremely polite and accommodating in the absolutely mind-endingly long RFC 98 doom-shedding.

I'm very confused about where those is going. the way it was prefaced made it seem like they were about to blame said co-creator from a right-wing perspective, but then the end of the paragraph affirmed their cordial collaboration and politeness.

as far as I was aware, the drama was largely Determinate Systems making a lot of QoL improvements gated behind their products + flakes eternally in beta and then the contract with Anduril

Ah, I know what you mean. That taste is truly unique.
