I failed to work with it, but did succeed in defeating it and getting what I wanted to work via plain shell scripts.<br/><br/>Somehow I feel inspired to work on porting my preferred Lisps to NetBSD tonight, can&#39;t possibly imagine why 2026-05-19T17:11:52Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqspw52nctttxxc3vczw7tnv8e4ev0efy9qmg9aq3zgup69rg4p00gczyrte8gw8ty3rujarvjjaaack6zwmdaqres3ffufje0swan5l8vrqxwppzuc <img src="https://media.bsd.cafe/bsdmmedia01/media_attachments/files/116/562/224/419/530/415/original/eb599d43cacef920.webp"> <br/> 2026-05-12T15:06:48Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswqtvpyh53gaztc6xsah7uhjcfgvmxrjakf3vj8dfyy9fum5c5elczyrte8gw8ty3rujarvjjaaack6zwmdaqres3ffufje0swan5l8vrqx28fmlj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9wwr0p2z83kn5qvhu968x9f3zpap2p50t99s9rxztzuj8zwg3d2slzqua0'>nevent1q…qua0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m going to assume this means it prints &#34;SYSTEM&#34; on startup, pauses a second or three, then prints D 2026-05-03T06:05:40Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsq6ka7hxcrqzuu5mr0gryr8qp265v5hhl0yytvrcawst3nnvu5tzgzyrte8gw8ty3rujarvjjaaack6zwmdaqres3ffufje0swan5l8vrqx69l9u4 Oh, the more I look at this GTK 5 change, the more upset I am. They&#39;re keeping support for MICROSOFT WINDOWS. They&#39;re keeping support for macOS. They&#39;re dropping X11.<br/><br/>Clearly the people who valued software freedom are no longer running things over there 2026-04-26T08:27:48Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsx7y3xe9gdk4mqlgdr0njfrmlcfy5q7r8y82detpxnljyuyry2lqczyrte8gw8ty3rujarvjjaaack6zwmdaqres3ffufje0swan5l8vrqx9yrmyl In the late 90&#39;s, I chose to focus my home usage on Linux, as opposed to FreeBSD, because of the politics. The Free Software advocates back then, especially the GNOME group, were more aligned with my values. FreeBSD was what we used at work, and it was great, but it wasn&#39;t the focal point of principles in software. <br/><br/>It&#39;s absolutely mind boggling how things have changed. Today, I&#39;m worried my Linux distro of choice is going to collaborate with censorious government and corporate initiatives, and as a parent I&#39;m worried about my children&#39;s privacy using Linux in future.<br/><br/>NetBSD may not be able to resume from suspend on my thinkpad, but it I have no such worry about privacy and civil liberties using it.<br/><br/><a href="https://functional.cafe/@tfb/116277547823206181">https://functional.cafe/@tfb/116277547823206181</a> 2026-03-23T08:43:57Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstjx657rzz52w0mveujymk7wtw5l5kvjcqxpypfezrq2w2rqe77jczyrte8gw8ty3rujarvjjaaack6zwmdaqres3ffufje0swan5l8vrqxrakkkx Stolen and fixed (-;<br/><br/><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/@robpumphrey/115428048647790468">https://mastodonapp.uk/@robpumphrey/115428048647790468</a><br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1klxg9d3a4u0uwau6udnhtaj3afh76uj4u5zerc3l24z02e7s83sqvs3ghz" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Rob Pumphrey</span> (<span class="italic">npub1klx…3ghz</span>)</a></span><br/> <img src="https://media.bsd.cafe/bsdmmedia01/media_attachments/files/115/433/597/035/837/675/original/5f0d5b193af2f610.jpg"> <br/> 2025-10-25T07:22:39Z
