Cursed Silicon
CursedSilicon@restless.systems@shroomie It's something that a couple folks do drive-by commits every few years
But it's never amounted to anything "useful"

@shroomie @CursedSilicon It's a microkernel operating system by the GNU project which is older than Linux and yet still is unfinished (presumably because there aren't a lot of developers)
I vaguely remember it not having support for WiFi or modern hard drives back when I was considering it in 2016 or so, but it might've changed...
If you want to actually install GNU/Hurd, you'd use a distribution like Debian GNU/Hurd... It's cool that now Gentoo is an option, too, maybe I should put it onto one of my boxes just for fun.

@shroomie @CursedSilicon I was going to link you their official web page https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/index.html
And why is this the first thing I see:
Brent W. Baccala debugged some x86_64 SMP issues with a Claude AI bot. The bot did not contribute any code. It just found some incorrect code that Damien then fixed. It did get some things wrong, but it was incredibly helpful pointing out several problems. You can read its report here.
Can people just stop already?
NetBSD has a better policy towards that sort of thing, which is not allowing it, so I think NetBSD will stay the OS that I put onto old hardware for fun (it's a good OS, I just wish they had binary packages for SPARC)

CursedSilicon@restless.systems@vaporeon_ @shroomie Surprised they're *allowed* to use the slop machine
You'd think the FSF would be apoplectic over an opaque blob of proprietary code smashing programming code together with no concept of copyleft licenses
