One of the several times I was asked to do a talk about why I'm an #opensource enthusiast with a particular fondness for #OpenBSD, I wrote "Recent and not so recent changes in OpenBSD that make life better (and may turn up elsewhere too)" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/recent-and-not-so-recent_changes_in_openbsd_that_make_life_better.html in 2021.

Things have happened since, of course, but those things are still developments I remember fondly.

What codebase is the Vivaldi browser based upon?

Thunderbird next?

Based upon the track record of Mozilla it's just a question of time before the programmers find a way of integrating large language model slop into the beautiful and elegant Thunderbird

Look closely; every time Mozilla is begging for money when you start up Thunderbird after 2 or 3 days of not having used it. It's annoying I haven't looked for a way to turn it off I stopped being annoyed about it after having faced it for sixteen times

This happens cross platform which means it is baked and hard coded into Thunderbird

Up to now, with all LLM things that Mozilla has done, you can just turn them off. I just shrug and turn them off

How is it in this case?

Can you turn this feature off, if so where?

You do realize that because Google literally funds Mozilla, they will keep doing these bad things, opting in users without permission
Maybe you should not use anything that the Mozilla makes anymore, otherwise you will just be annoyed and disappointed Time after Time. The Mozilla team is literally choked by Google, financially choked.

Wishing for their destruction is deeply emotional

These annoyances disappointments & irritations are not good for your health, my internet friend.

IMHO you should leave all Mozilla products behind, then be in Peace again.

Sending you

Y'know what? As an #opensource #advocate and #tech enthusiast, it's genuinely awesome to see increased mainstream coverage of #Linux and #FreeBSD. Unfortunately, a lot of these articles are riddled with mistakes, misinformation, clickbait, and overall low quality. A few minutes ago, while catching up on tech news I came across one #ZDNet author's frequent posts on Linux and FreeBSD.

To emphasize my point, I am only going to focus on one article titled, "After decades on Linux, FreeBSD finally gave me a reason to switch operating systems."

The following passages stuck out like sore thumb:

1.) "FreeBSD is more challenging than Linux."

-But is it really? Subjective, particularly if coming from a GUI-driven Linux distribution. Frankly I find FreeBSD easier because of the excellent documentation and coherent design.

2.) "FreeBSD is Unix-like" but further down he states, "Essentially, FreeBSD is Unix, where Linux is based on Unix."

-Contradictory, incorrect, and confusing for newcomers. FreeBSD is Unix. Linux (neither the kernel nor OS) is based on Unix.

3.) "Think of FreeBSD as a more challenging version of Linux. This operating system doesn't hold your hand, so you might learn a thing or two as you install it and the software you require. Even for a seasoned Linux veteran like me, FreeBSD can often be a head-scratcher."

-Challenging because it's *different than Linux*? FreeBSD doesn't hold your hand? What about #Debian, #Gentoo, #Arch, heck even #RHEL? Since the author didn't mention it, I'm going to assume he did not check the FreeBSD Handbook and his "seasoned Linux" experience has been using a Linux desktop for a couple years. Also, head-scratcher?! Being an experienced Debian user, I'd be scratching my head too if I just decided to use Gentoo on a whim. The trauma of hand-configuring the xorg.conf file was real.

Finally, contrary to the article's title, the author ended up not switching to FreeBSD.

-Clickbait.

I am all for more people exploring FreeBSD and Linux. They are great OSes but it is critical the information being reported is both accurate and consistent. For reference the article is linked below.

We’re excited to share that the FreeBSD Project has been accepted again as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2026.

This marks another year of supporting contributors who want to work on meaningful open source projects while learning from experienced FreeBSD developers.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.90 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31230

1 of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks completed successfully.

Fingers crossed the other two go off without a hitch. If so, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

This actually looks somewhat intriguing.

I wish I had resources/time to dedicate to this, but at least I can follow along.

For #opensource software, #AI is very much a mixed blessing, in his view.
