If you actively try to avoid software that is licensed under BSD or ISC, only Gnu's Marxist license, then that means you won't use OpenSSH or the security tools ported over from OpenBSD into both Linux and Android and will not use an operating system or programs that have been compiled with LLVM/Clang.

I prioritize system security, and for that I only care about open source and reject free/libre software due to all of its built-in political implications. But also defend the right for people to make proprietary software. I won't use it, but defend people's right to make it.

People must give up how they want the world to operate and deal with what is. For example, FSF is wholly incompatible with BSD and the 2 distinct cultures and views can never work together. They are both open source, but that's where the commonality ends.

It sounds like you have an idol worship for GNU with zero experience of UNIX/BSD culture in that they only care about code that works and not anybody's opinion.

That is where OpenBSD developerd sticks so hard to BSD and ISC licenses with a preference for ISC license because they don't care what other people do, they develop for themselves, and if people don't like the way it functons, don't use it, problem solved.

The problem with GNU/FSF people is they are excessively wrapper in what other people do through politicing and not enough time fixing their own code. Once GNU people develops an operating system in similar fashion to how each BSD are each their own complete operating system, then they can give their opinions. Until then, they should go away, stop with the software politics, and care a lot more about their own code.

Since you're asking, you're definitely not ready. Learn a projects formatting style for the code, work on open issue, submit patches, listen to all critiques and criticism.

Submit and the others will say when you're good. If you want to learn code correctness and proper security of code, study and go through OpenBSD's code. You could read the code for openNTPd and the code for OpenSSH, then move on to reading kernal code for OpenBSD.

The 4K Freesync isn't going to provide much because the evidence for pushing that says there wil not be an 8800 XT or 8900 XT. Maybe in 4 to 5 years there will be a 9900 XT 4K Freesync graphics card.

I'm going 4K but that will wait until after I buy 5080 or 5090 to push 4K everything. Right now, only 4090 can do it and nothing less than 4090.

Given the future of game engines, I would recommend 4080 over XTX to power future games. You will have to replace the XTX sooner based on the newest game you have at anytime. Watch the price of the 4080 in 2 to 3 months for a good sale.

For VMware, beng productive work, what do the benchmarks show for Intel vs AMD with VM?

Why do people seemingly post on here regarding new Intel drivers but I have never seen new posts for nVidia or Radeon drivers?

It's fine to post publicly and see what happens

Sniper Elite 3 would be good.

It seems like a very helpful service. I don't use cell data which means no GPS to contribute to it. I only use apps through wi-fi exclusively.

Congratulations, would you like a cookie?

The 7600 is already around $250 to replace 6650.

How does this matter and why should anybody care given the price to performance of the 7600?
