@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org ⚠️GPT here means (GUID Partition Table) not the (Generative Pre-trained Transformer).
We've all been there, but the #NetBSD way is different. Get the architecture right the first time. Why spend years fixing technical debt when you can build a stable, portable foundation from the start?
Reject automated bloat. RTAM( Read The Awesome Manual). Write code yourself. Run NetBSD.

Btw #NetBSD what's plan if or when @E@floss.social start using AI/LLM for development? The future is forking all these projects into non LLMed versions? 😅

@vaporeon_@glaceon.social @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org can help you getting it setup. There's probably tech reason why it is not included by default

@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org it's an integrated keyboard that comes with ThinkPad. I will try to get dmesg using single user mode. Also keyboard works when the boot screen comes up.
NetBSD turns 33 this Sunday! 🚩
To celebrate 33 years of clean code, portability, and zero bloat, Challenging the rest of the fediverse to help hit this year's funding goals.
Also do drop a screenshot of your uptime, uname -a, or a pic of the weirdest hardware you've got running NetBSD right now. (RockPro64 NPF routers or Pi's hooked up to retro CRTs highly encouraged).
Throw some money at the developers keeping the real UNIX alive:

@rl_dane@polymaths.social @cienmilojos@infosec.exchange i don't think @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org policy allows AI code even with permission

@kemotep something like this ? Or physical machines
?

The #NetBSD 🚩community is amazing! 🔥
Let's come together to reach the foundation's $50,000 year-end goal. Your contribution directly drives the project's future and innovation. Every donation helps!

@anarchistquotes@todon.eu Alan Moore is an anarchist and an artist, not an academic historian. His quote is a poetic weapon aimed at conservative authoritarianism, not a factual blueprint of world history. Creativity and mathematics have historically thrived in deeply oppressive societies, just as they do in liberated ones.

@Kierkegaanks @netbsd agreed windows don't have graphical environment it is advertisement billboard..
Sending good vibes to everyone in the Debian community navigating the recent transitions. If you're using this moment to do a little distro-hopping, consider jumping over to the BSD side. NetBSD offers a completely independent codebase built on a classic, predictable philosophy. You might just find your new permanent home! 🚩💻

I wonder why they didn't check #NetBSD ! 🤔

@RussSharek@mastodon.art @alter_unicorn@masto.bike we should do that for enlightenment DE as well and many more softwares

@CursedSilicon@social.treehouse.systems you can build NetBSD on Linux, mac, windows or any major OSes out there. The beauty of its build system
Edit:

I used this video long ago to build it will work today also. The documentation guide is also very good. If you hit any problem let us know or report at the mailing list you will get a reply.
My installation screen hangs at this screen. ThinkPad E14 AMD what could be the reason for this ? No keys are working at this step. #netbsd should I disable drm before install ?
Replying to
@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org I think #NetBSD's stance is better it not just avoid AI LLM code but also any means of copy paste from other places or any means which can taint Base operating system.
Okay, folks, gather 'round, because you are not going to believe this one. My friend who is working at NASA told me this confidential news , but i can finally spill the beans: NASA is officially running NetBSD.
Yeah, you heard that right. Turns out, when you need an OS that can literally run on a potato *and* survive the vacuum of space without a hiccup, you do not mess around. They have been working under wraps with their deep space division on something they are calling "AstroBSD."
Apparently, the Perseverance rover on Mars? Yeah, it is not just taking pretty pictures; it is crunching data with a custom NetBSD kernel.
This just proves what foundation has been saying forever: "Of course it runs NetBSD!" From your ancient router to a rover on another planet.
