Discovered this evening: a FreeBSD committer badmouthing me in an early January response to a survey.
I wish I had known about that, before I quit FreeBSD Discord a few days later: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/113884929411349951
Rewind to November 2024: the same committer abused someone else. A few days later, his mentor wrote: "… Do not make me into a baby-sitter; I will not accept this role. …"; around an hour later, he apologised for use of a diminutive term.
Frankly:
― the offender does need a baby-sitter.
I have screenshots of the offender ranting in Discord, and so on. This is why I have largely withdrawn from contributing to the FreeBSD Project.
@emaste sorry, I'll not participate in tomorrow's meeting of the Laptop and Desktop Workgroup.

FreeBSD Project-provided repositories for kernel modules in the ports collection: usage

14.1-RELEASE to 14.2-RELEASE

VirtualBox 7 on FreeBSD:
― not yet in the ports collection
― significant progress in recent weeks.The first LDWG meeting, in December 2024, drew attention to <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=271146>.

@lproven good news,
Donation of the working iwx driver — <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-desktop/2024-December/005173.html>
In addition, I learnt in FreeBSD Discord that <https://github.com/orgs/FreeBSDFoundation/projects/1/?pane=issue&itemId=84366575&issue=FreeBSDFoundation%7Cproj-laptop%7C5> is iwx – but not yet marked as such.
The Tom mentioned in <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-desktop/2024-December/005182.html> is Tom Jones, whose FreeBSD Network Status reports I highly recommend:

@duncan_bayne maybe of interest, in the board for the Foundation's Laptop Project:
― Put a specific laptop model into S4 hibernation <https://github.com/orgs/FreeBSDFoundation/projects/1/views/4?pane=issue&itemId=88118534&issue=FreeBSDFoundation%7Cproj-laptop%7C29>
― Implement s2idle low power state <https://github.com/orgs/FreeBSDFoundation/projects/1/views/4?pane=issue&itemId=88143979&issue=FreeBSDFoundation%7Cproj-laptop%7C35>
― Implement S0ix low power states — <https://github.com/orgs/FreeBSDFoundation/projects/1/views/4?pane=issue&itemId=88119601&issue=FreeBSDFoundation%7Cproj-laptop%7C32>.

The reason for me very rarely listening, to things that do interest me, is simple. It is entirely unrelated to content:
― Bluetooth.
A consequence of difficulty with, or the absence of, Bluetooth:
― I very rarely watch videos about BSD.
We have two FreeBSD Foundation Laptop Project contexts:
― Ensure Bluetooth drivers work <https://github.com/orgs/FreeBSDFoundation/projects/1/views/4?pane=issue&itemId=90563442&issue=FreeBSDFoundation%7Cproj-laptop%7C43>
― Improve Bluetooth management/usability <https://github.com/orgs/FreeBSDFoundation/projects/1/views/4?pane=issue&itemId=90563966&issue=FreeBSDFoundation%7Cproj-laptop%7C44>
The current milestone for both: 2025, third quarter.
Background, thanks to Joe Mingrone (Project Manager at the Foundation): <https://mail-archive.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?86y10enucl.fsf> or (without links) <https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-desktop/2024-December/005126.html>.

@mwl sounds great. I look forward to your preview of the comparison at the first meeting of the Laptop and Desktop Workgroup on Monday 16th.
Seeking time-fillers only because, of course, there'll be nothing for laptop or desktop users to discuss.
Loosely translated: expect heated discussion of installers, despite the absence of the word "installer" at <https://wiki.freebsd.org/LaptopDesktopWorkingGroup>.

@garyhtech also:
<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/pull/442>
― 14.2R/errata: news: inclusion of Wi-Fi firmware · Pull Request #442 · freebsd/freebsd-doc
「… chicken-and-egg … hard to download and install firmware if you don't already have the firmware you need to connect to the Internet. …」
In plain English: with the installer for FreeBSD 14.2, there's not only the pictured ability – automatically detecting, downloading, and installing hardware-specific packages from a mainstream Project-provided repo.
There's also – within the image that provides the installer:
― additional firmware, to greatly increase the likelihood of people gaining an Internet connection during installation.
For this reason, and others, 14.2 is a greater milestone than many people have realised. Foundational changes in 14.2 make various things – some of which are obscure, but game-changing – easier to achieve. I'll drop a hint to you, privately …

I'm a shocking liar.
"In no particular order" was a blatant lie.
Eric came first because I have, more than once, used a GhostBSD-provided repository to complement my use of FreeBSD.

@jbaggs … all of that, yes, the entire FreeBSD ports collection, plus:
― installation of online packages before exiting the installer for FreeBSD.
<https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1h1l4s4/installing_packages_with_the_installer_for/>
The given examples – neo-cowsay and cowsay – are simple and non-contentious.
If neither the old cow, nor the new, is to a person's liking:
― desktop environments are in the dairy.
Dear Ports Pie Shop, say hello to Product Package Peddler Emporium. Let's all sit down and have a nice cup of tea.

Pictured: Skrolli 2024.1, page 26.
Eight months ago:
「… The whole thing will be available for free with a 9 month delay, at which point I'll provide a translation of the whole thing, but here's a picture of the fist page in Finnish. The article spans two spreads, so 4 pages of FreeBSD evangelism.」
I guess, we'll get to enjoy the translation around Christmas time.

@abstractcode very amusing, however:
