The Importance of the BSD Operating Systems
Introduction NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD represent more than just operating systems in many cases--in some popular accounts, the three operating systems are associated with legacies and tradition, with open-source software representing the core of the systems. Regardless of the specific operating system, common features include a tty interface and the use of the BSD kernel, with many UNIX-like commands such as cd, ls, cp, rm, mv, echo, and rmdir commonplace in each system. Testing […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/the-importance-of-the-bsd-operating-systems/

Developer uses Claude to vibe code a Windows 3.1 shell in an hour — reanimated 12MB retro launcher runs on both Windows 11 and Apple Silicon

i now live in a world where i have to accept that if i want an operating system that i can actually use, it WILL have been developed with some amount of AI usage
do i like that? no, of course not
but is it true? yes, and to say otherwise is to be wilfully ignorant

Spotted in my RSS feeds: Defrag98, a Windows 98 defrag simulation. I would be very concerned if my hard drive had ever sounded like this simulation, but I like the defrag part.

MakeUseOf: I stopped memorizing Linux commands and started playing this instead. “There are plenty of Linux terminal commands that can make the shell feel less intimidating, but memorizing them from a list has never worked especially well for me. GameShell gives all of that syntax a place to stick. Instead of memorizing commands in a vacuum, I was climbing a castle tower, building a hut, […]

Officially Linux or other strictly open source licensed #operatingsystems are except from os verification laws the u.s. At least in California.
So as a User of tech you can just use that and never have to age verify at the os level.
However this doesn't yet get a clear answer for federated mastodon or other #activitypub services. There's still uncertainty.
But due to the decentralized nature you can as a user can just pick a specific hosted location whether a specific u.s state or a country that might not legally require an age verification.
-
When you realize a lot of the #ageverification has to do with #operatingsystems, social media and adult content. (And even AI chat bots)
What does all this have in common? Being connected to the Internet or cellular. What doesn't it effect.
Offline tech with zero app stores and zero downloadable content in an 'official' means for said hardware.
By using software on an offline device think DVD players or long pass discontinued devices like the Xbox 360 ps3 or Wii consoles with no official manufacture support or updates.
You as the user are legally in the clear you aren't responsible for not age verifying if said device is officially offline and unable to have any downloads officially not even let's say Nintendo would be in legal trouble if you were to put any type of app on it via homebrew you as the user wouldn't be either.
Modding an unsupported device is safer then using a device like a new Android phone if your trying to avoid age verification checks long term.
Any services you use that are online at at risk at the daily to force users to age verify. Duckduckgo? It's a matter of time.
Where you might have more leeway with this however is the complexity of Mastodon servers, Misskey servers, not all being centralized. Which can make it harder for the law to keep up with each individual server.
Android as a platform is liable, iPhone is liable, but if you're modding say an older psp that is better protected from age verification laws just because it's officially discontinued by Sony. Official online services and all.

California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law — software distributed under the GPL, MIT, BSD, and Apache licenses are exempt

We've all been there, but the #NetBSD way is different. Get the architecture right the first time. Why spend years fixing technical debt when you can build a stable, portable foundation from the start?
Reject automated bloat. RTAM( Read The Awesome Manual). Write code yourself. Run NetBSD.

ZDNet: How I turned my ancient Windows PC into a Chromebook for free – with FydeOS. “FydeOS is a Linux-based OS that looks and feels just like ChromeOS, down to the Material Me design.

#TodaYInHistory 1996 - #Microsoft releases #Windows NT 4.0, with a graphical user interface similar to that of Windows 95. The software comprises 16.5 million lines of code. Code-name during development was Cairo.
It was the last NT release to support the Alpha, MIPS or PowerPC CPU architectures as Windows 2000 runs solely on x86, and the last to use the "NT" name in its product line.

Spotted in my RSS feeds: GE-97 Terminal. “A browser-based Windows 98 that boots, dials up, and browses what remains of the 1990s web with everything switched back on — built so a modern audience can feel what that screen felt like, not just look at a screenshot of it.” If you spent any time on GeoCities this web design will evoke nostalgia.
