If #AI keeps corrupting almost every software project, I'll migrate fully to #hyperbola #GNU (soon #BSD, but keeping the license compatible with the GPLv2) and toss every modern crap. 9front too because the system it's small enough and you need AI for that simple C and design you should drop CS/IT altogether and go back to High School or maybe Elementary school. The system it's made to be understood for humans, not to be lost with 100 millions of code for a browser, a kernel and some really complex desktop providing userland techonologies as it happen with current OSes. I will just watch ripped DVD's under a netbook with old releases of mpv/mplayer and pretty much OPUS/mp3 and ogg libre media, even libre comics under CBZ and stuff from Gutenberg. No needs for DRM's, no need for LLM slopware. I will just use Eforth+Subleq/muxleq, rc+awk. And s9 for Lisp to try 'exotic' computing environments. UXN maybe for 'retrogaming'. Protocols? Plain IRC, NNTP, Jabber, Email and few more. No need to vibecode crap there, you fools, the standards are almost set in stone. Use LibreSSL and that's it. Keep backup from old systems, you will need them. Create replicas of Hyperbola's mirrors. Subleq+Eforth looks insane *but* it's a granted environment under PD *and* from now you can use it on almost every system where an ANSI C compiler exists. It's almost useless for anything modern but again it might even work as a modern bootstrap tool if things needs to be 'restarted' if a huge #LLM cross-suiing between companies happens. https://github.com/howej/muxleq https://hyperbola.info The versions are old enough to be trusted to be #AI free. And the repo it's small enough to be handled with modern external media with TB sized disks. Again, this is not madness, but a way to be inmune to future cross-company suing because of copyrighted code. And not just code. For sure META will be damned because of the Copyright steal.

  • @anthk One small correction: #hyperbolaBSD will be covered by GNU GPLv3 and LGPLv3. See https://www.hyperbola.info/news/announcing-hyperbolabsd-roadmap/ This will be the first BSD system covered by (L)GPLv3 that I know of. And Linux (kernel) is still GPLv2 only...SO SAD! (I just wanna razz Linus a bit 😜 )
