You have the perfect nickname for a BSD enthusiast. The whole reason I wound up running Linux was BSDickhead elitism. I had done multiple installs of various Unixes including SunOS on a sun3, which is not only BSD, it's weird and you have to do weird shit to install it. But since the BSD documentation was shit at the time that told you nothing you needed to know, I found myself a little stuck on stupid shit like how big my partitions should be. I even know some FreeBSD users and as it turned out, they were fucking worthless and treated me like an idiot for asking questions the documentation would have answered if it were any good.

So I installed slackware and that was that, the install was trivial, the community was orders of magnitude more helpful and welcoming, the documentation was actually useful. I've installed a lot of different BSDs over the years (including on some IBM model 135s for example) and literally all of them were better than FreeBSD was then, even the ones that are older than that!

BSDicks can only blame themselves for Linux eating their lunch.

"BSD today is bigger than Linux."

Hahhahahahahahbahahabbahaha

"That is a complete fluke, an accident."

Completely wrong.

"What the world wanted was Unix running on inexpensive commodity PC hardware. That's it."

Right, the average user does not give a shit about the license. But wrong, because how they got it was from people who do care. BSD already existed and they could already be contributing to it, but they chose not to. And they made that choice specifically based on the license, which we know because so many major contributors told us so. You are ignoring what they said because it suits your prejudice.

That was a thing, but it was resolved well before Linux became popular.

IME FreeBSD is realistically almost all drawbacks because development happens on Linux. OpenBSD has its selling point I guess, but my personal experiences with it taught me that if you aren't qualified to fix your own problems with e.g. the kernel, you should avoid it. NetBSD has some meaning as the last available OS for a lot of old hardware, so I guess there's that? In-kernel ZFS is cool but hardly worth the hassle unless what you are building is a pure filer, when the unbundled ZFS works well enough.

Weird that Haiku picked it up, what with actual BeOS having been chock-full of GNU utilities. I know because I did the first released port of GNU file for BeOS.

Oh, that explains why BSD which predates Linux is an also-ran, while Linux is the world's most popular operating system and many major contributors told us in so many words that they chose to contribute to Linux instead of BSD specifically because of the license.

In your world, Herpes makes you popular and desirable?

You mean being attacked by Israel, a country which is actually doing a genocide, with our money, from a nation which was founded on genocide? You're only a genocide apologist.

No, in actual fact it isn't.

Nice typo. In fact, malicious intent is worse than gross incompetence.

Of course they will claim they tried.

Naziyahoo says what for decades? Bullshit every time? Get fucked, Zionazi.

You mean the fictional starship which has screens everywhere with a UI whose name is known to nerds everywhere?

I should have added:

"In general, renaming things does not fix a problem."

Though heaven knows, lots of stupid people try it.

Why not just discard the whole idea of DST instead of putting it into permanent effect?

The whole concept is an attempt to redefine time as a way of addressing perceived social problems. Schedule activities around the clock, not the clock around activities.
