you know, I was hoping I already made this clear
netbsd taking money from a relatively unknown fascist group doesn’t damn them. they likely didn’t know who FUTO was. most people don’t.
if it runs ok on your hardware (and that’s a big “if”), netbsd is likely a more stable choice than any Linux 7.x+ kernel will ever be, and you should switch over if you can.
switching to netbsd isn’t resistance. please be real.
you already crawled up onto your cross and nailed your hands to an OS that was 10-20 years behind the curve on hardware back when you were the only linux user you knew, remember? muddling through broken shit is the easy way out, you’ve done it before. how did it end? a bunch of assholes took over. why would it end any different this time?
resistance isn’t politely choosing another OS. resistance isn’t a technical solution to a social problem.
the netbsd team aren’t your friends. there’s perhaps a future where they could be, but right now the ending will be no different.
the big men of FOSS told you that you were no good at organizing, at the messy legal bits, at licensing, at the social bits. they demanded fealty and money because they were the organizers. how could you hope to come up with a (laughably weak) document like the GPL? with 1000 variants of the BSD license? how could you get money and housing for giving (frankly universally terrible) talks for your knowledge? you were told that the only thing you were good for was your technical skill, and someone else would worry about the rest.
none of those big men are special. all of us are organizers. all of us can do what we will with our labor. all of us have proven to be better at both organizing and technical labor than any of the big men. they keep proving it every day.
why do we have to follow their marching orders? why do we have to act like switching operating systems is resistance?
be impolite. be a fucking nightmare. they owe us for everything they are now.
