Post #1921010

It always happens. I said I was switching to OpenBSD thanks to the nail in the coffin that is "AI" infecting the Linux kernel and systemd, the two anchors of nearly all Linux based OSes. Even though my distro of choice on the desktop, Void Linux, doesn't use systemd, it has no choice but to use the kernel as-is. So woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, telling me that OpenBSD is also tainted because tmux is now vibe-coded. Well, here's the thing. The OpenBSD kernel and core subsystem will never be vibe-coded. The project has a valiant history of kicking substandard code and implementations to the curb. Bluetooth used to be part of the base installation, but it was ripped out due to poor code quality and difficulty to maintain. OpenSSL was forked into LibreSSL to address the Heartbleed vulnerability and to improve and modernize the codebase. The overly complicated and insecure sudo utility was punted in favor of the simple, secure, and superior doas utility. I am confident that the OpenBSD project will address the issue of "AI" infected code in tmux and take action. And to everyone who tried to make me feel bad or conflicted about my decision, try harder next time. I'm cozy and content running OpenBSD, and if that bothers you, unfollow me or block me. I'm not here to make you happy.
