@icedquinn @p @sjw@neckbeard.xyz @bagofshit @pernia Not entirely true. Apple and even Sony have contributed back to the FreeBSD project, even though they weren't obligated to do so. This is because if they didn't contribute back, their codebases would have become obsolete by the time FreeBSD updates their codebase.

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz @icedquinn @p @bagofshit @pernia It doesn't have a non-warranty disclaimer though. It's why the FSF doesn't recommend it.

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz @icedquinn @p @bagofshit @pernia The whole license compatibility issue is why I just go public domain.

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz It's actually easy to start your own OS if you know C#.

@icedquinn @p @sjw@neckbeard.xyz @bagofshit @pernia Linux has so many GPL violations in it, that it makes one wonder why Linus didn't use the LGPL or MPL instead.

@a7 @sjw@neckbeard.xyz Well Hyperbola is based on Gentoo which is compatible with the BSD kernel. I don't know if the same can be said with other distros (besides Debian).

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz How about we just fucking fork the kernel already? There has to be some distro that is pissed off enough to start forking Linux. I know the Linux Mint devs are pretty anti-SJW maybe they would fork it.

>the haiku devs sometimes wish they just made it a DE over linux, because the custom kernel hasn't done them any favors.
Haiku is supposed to be a clone and spiritual successor of BeOS. It wouldn't make sense for them to use the Linux kernel since it's nothing like the kernel that BeOS ran on.

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz @p @bagofshit @pernia It would be cool if someone were to write a network stack then write a Fediverse compatible server for it. I remembered someone trying to make an imageboard running on TempleOS.

@icedquinn @p @sjw@neckbeard.xyz @bagofshit @pernia I really do like Haiku and think it has better potential as a desktop OS than Linux. I just wish there were more software for it.

@ChristianAnarchist@liberdon.com The only good thing that comes out of face masks is that it's harder for facial recognition algorithms to detect you.
