       In the late 90'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't the focal point of principles in software. It's absolutely mind boggling how things have changed. Today, I'm worried my Linux distro of choice is going to collaborate with censorious government and corporate initiatives, and as a parent I'm worried about my children's privacy using Linux in future.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.https://functional.cafe/@tfb/116277547823206181

       FuuuuuuuuuuckSo they're just about to drop X11 support. Sounds not great for NetBSD users in 5-10 years from now.https://floss.social/@gnome/116465233347697367

       Oh, the more I look at this GTK 5 change, the more upset I am. They're keeping support for MICROSOFT WINDOWS. They're keeping support for macOS. They're dropping X11.Clearly the people who valued software freedom are no longer running things over there

       I'm not an anti-Wayland absolutist. I use it roughly daily. But it's still half-baked, and I appreciate coming back to X11 when I use NetBSD.
