Whenever I see someone write a mean-minded thing to a stranger, I ask myself a simple question. Does the writer want to make the stranger's day better, or worse? @lispi314@udongein.xyz that's human nature, not particularly strange.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@FreeBSDFoundation/115583802055432643 @lispi314@udongein.xyz IMHO the (very) long list of gross proprietary platforms includes X, and YouTube. I could have written something mean-minded about YouTube, or some other aspect of the production, in response to the FreeBSD Project's . Instead of being mean, I did something nice: . gained a paid award: ＂Something to bear in mind — when a community is welcoming, it grows and flourishes. When a community is closed and unwelcoming, the people in it literally age the product out of relevance. If we want the products we love to survive, the communities around them need new users. FreeBSD is a great product, we should welcome anybody who wants to love it as much as we all do today 😊＂

@lispi314@udongein.xyz many people would say that X is a gross proprietary platform. (I deleted my Twitter account long ago.) Yet, we have people ridiculing the FreeBSD Foundation @FreeBSDFoundation@mastodon.social for not posting to X: | . (No disrespect to John Young. Elsewhere, people have been unreasonably rude in response to something that he posted (and as a result of their unreasonable rudeness to a stranger, some of the offenders are blocked by me).) On the plus side, the FreeBSD Project has not used its @freebsd@mastodon.bsd.cafe account on X since August 2004: . Also on the plus side, these two: ― | (2026-03-20) ― | (2026-04-14) The March 2026 series of tweets began: ＂I'm going to plant a flag here: 2026 is going to go down in computer security history as the year of a million CVEs. (Maybe literally, but definitely figuratively.) LLMs are producing lots of slop, but they're also finding a heck of a lot of real vulnerabilities.＂
