    I need to get around and upgrade an old mini-tower with an AMD-586 w/512MB memory from 9.3 to 11.0, I may wait for 11.1.

    NetBSD is very interesting again due to its no-slop policy. Linux has sold out, so BSD is the future.

      If you think you can identify frontier model-generated planned and reviewed c/c++ from human-generated planned and reviewed c/c++, I've got some bad news for you.

      The "no slop" policy is the same as it ever was: garbage has to make it through patch code review. If an LLM wrote it rather than a human and it passes patch review, it's fine. Rejecting features or fixes because a probabilistic algorithm said "should like like this" feels a lot like rejecting c/c++ because you read Intel's docs and have a hex editor.
