I bailed on Linux after a quarter century of use (I started jumping ship before botshit was a thing, so I have a 3 year head start on this process). OpenBSD doesn&#39;t have a policy but is unlikely to allow AI generated code in the core OS (yes, yes, there&#39;s the tmux commit). NetBSD has an explicit policy which amounts to a defacto ban. OpenBSD has better graphics hardware support unless you run nvidia. 2026-09-15T21:45:01Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswmupv3z2jk27rs4pvkjur2exsaufzndzgtn86a03nf59uw8w7pgqzyqdvusvrqgaaeda45hxav67yvmsn9ep54k6ezukvlwzxvsnkp64ccmdd7eh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9ur3ctrx40gd78yq6zjfcxpndy5l7v9wg0jr7ad2hm8vxarw26dcs54jj8'>nevent1q…4jj8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Existential Comics knocked it out of the park this time.

Intel&#39;s endianness comes from the Datapoint 2200, which was bit serial, and the carry circuitry is simpler if you do things little-endian.<br/><br/>Honestly, I think the real answer is that big endian is easier to diagram if you come from a culture with a left-to-right writing system and a habit of putting zero on the left on graph axis.<br/><br/>(I like little endian systems) 2025-07-23T02:39:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8hzr0s4wc8wdluvqeyqlyhrt405a3w42e5jp0f4hxl66z94m45mczyqdvusvrqgaaeda45hxav67yvmsn9ep54k6ezukvlwzxvsnkp64cce5dejv ... I got my compositor to run on #NetBSD. I fixed the kernel panic I was running into by deciding the change I had made to ioctl permissions constituted putting beans in my nose.<br/><br/>I then went back and added a GET_PCIINFO ioctl like what OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD use (but slightly different) and modded libdrm to match.<br/><br/>And it worked. It even let me fire up a terminal emulator window, which is further than I got last time.
