    It’s extraordinarily naive to believe NetBSD is Ai-free & especially that it will remain so. No project with multiple contributors is, some do make an effort to hide it well enough though.

      Maybe not in popularity, but they’re perfectly fine OSs. Probably close to ten years ago now, I ran FreeBSD on my desktop, and I was gaming and everything. It was just as functional as Linux was at the time. Things may have changed since then, but from my experience, I doubt for the worse.

    cross-commented from https://slrpnk.net/comment/24863179:

    Well, it din’t exactly ban it, but it did set some strict and sensible restrictions. As a result, there is only a single AI-generated commit in the OS:

    IlIt is a fairly large commit. However, it is dwarfed by the Linux kernel, which has thousands of slop commits.

              Look at my handle… I am not on piefed so i dont see that what you see there.

              Besides even on your screenshot its clear to see that this remark isn’t related to the post.

              That message about Beehaw was added by Rimu, the creator of Piefed, not Beehaw. He just wanted people to act nice when commenting there, in respect for the pleasant culture they have cultivated.

      Yeah, they are federated with tankies and feature some problematic users too.

        Beehaw has problematic users? Like on average? I haven’t seen that myself.

        Beehaw is defederated with Hexbear and Lemmygrad.

        Most instances are federated with Lemmy.ml (including yours), the only one I know of that isn’t is Lemmy.cafe.

          Seems like I am wrong. Why are we defeated again?

            The only instance I know of that defederated feddit.org is dbzer0, is that the instance you were thinking of?

                According to Beehaw’s instances page, it is currently federated with feddit.org. Your comments showing up on beehaw itself, and the beehaw user responding to them with you able to see them, demonstrates that both instances are federated.

                That other user appears to be misinformed.

                  Probably got themselves banned.
