    Does Lemmy have a "Stallman was right" community? Or is that just all of Lemmy.

    If you replace the c/ with ! it will become a clickable link that will take the visitor to their local instance's copy of that community.

    It's not fear, it's laziness and just general fed-upness of dealing with computers and the overwhelming complexity of everything nowadays. There's nothing fun or thrilling about computers anymore, it's a black box to me now.

    FreeBSD has been on a bit of a glowup arc too though, at least for general desktop use. No, but really, there needs to be a viable third option other than Windows and Linux in the desktop PC space.

    I'm so glad that they're clinging on! FreeBSD is great and they've made some serious moves these past years.

    NetBSD even explicitly banned AI from their codebase to boot, as quoted from their Commit Guidelines:

    Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as GitHub/Microsoft's Copilot, OpenAI's ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta's Code Llama, is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core.

    Unlike Linux, whose recent embrace of AI in the codebase is worrying to say the least, you flat-out cannot submit AI-generated code to NetBSD unless it's approved in writing*.

    It’s fine. Not sure where you heard it’s terrible.

    If by disparity you mean sometimes Windows is better and sometimes Linux is better. I have one of those GPUs. Give it a try before you slam it. Valve has thrown so much money into Proton that support is amazing compared to when I tried a decade ago.
