The FreeBSD desktop exists, it is called “Mac OS”.

Linus Torvalds used the GPL for his kernel, forcing companies to release the source code if they improve it and distribute it. The main userland was a lot of GPL licensed GNU software for a very long time, with a similar effect.

The BSD folks, on the other hand, decided to give everything away, by using much more “liberal” licenses. Apple took the BSD base, bolted their UI on top of it and gave almost nothing back. That would not have happened if BSD was GPL licensed.

Has AI really atrophied their tech skills that much?

These people never had any skill to begin with. They only have a codebase now because of AI.

Thank you!

A quality disc can last 10 years or more. At a company I used to work at the backups were burned to discs coated with gold. They had 15 year old discs that still worked.

I don’t get it.

the guy who designed it is stuck somewhere 10-20 years in the past.

Well, using containerization for everything is very 2015-ish.

that it’s very common for kids to explore their bodies and each other’s at sleep overs.

Yeah I don’t think so. I am way over 30 years old and never heard of that.
