Which operating systems don't allow AI-generated code contributions?

The BSDs?

Any Linux distributions?

The news that systemd may have AI code in it prompted this question.

#RISC_OS ShareFSServer testers: changes for this weekend build here:

Build should be available tomorrow morning.

A smiling astronaut toy pointing to the sky with their hand on the shoulder of a cowboy toy with a look of despair. The words say My Wife over the cowboy toy and the words on the bottom say Me Talking About BSD. Again.

Why the rush to comply?

Maybe resist... just a little bit.

MidnightBSD developers are building system tools like aged and agectl to comply with age-verification laws including Digital Age Assurance Act.

More details here: https://ostechnix.com/midnightbsd-age-verification-tools/

I know this is from reddit, but this person put together detail on who is pushing these age verification laws. It is an interesting read and could cost #bsd and #linux distros thousands of USD per year to maintain. With my #tinfoil hat on, looks like a method to destroy Free Operating Systems.

It never ceases to tickle my fancy at being able to console into my own server (In this case a thin client running OpenBSD).

I know it is mundane, and that the capability has been there since the very beginning of computing, but when I started out doing computers stuff the serial console was the mysterious domain of network equipment and special operating systems!

I am glad that understanding it a bit better has not stolen the wonder and joy from the thing.

This second week of BSD Month, I've taken a look at OpenBSD on You Can Linux! It turned out better than FreeBSD, at least. #linux #bsd #openbsd https://youtu.be/ROnYIY66Y8s

It seems to me the the bit about #Plasma #KDE in the #FreeBSD #Handbook Chapter 8. Desktop Environments could use some better phrasing:

To install the Plasma desktop with a basic set of KDE Applications, execute: pkg install kde
Additional KDE Applications are tagged with the kde-applications category. 
To install a minimal Plasma desktop, execute: pkg install plasma6-plasma.
This installation is really minimal. The Konsole terminal emulator must be installed separately executing: pkg install konsole.

One would suspect that the plasma6-plasma option should be the minimal desktop session for the desktop environment. However, when I try it in a VM running 15.0-RELEASE-p4 with base #Xorg and #CWM installed, the pkg instak kde reported 541 new packages were to be downloaded and installed, while pkg install plasma6-plasma reported 572.

So far only fringe linux distros and BSDs have made definitive public announcements on how their, interpreting and coping with regional age verification laws, that are slapening OS vendors. I am increasingly eager for one of the big three BSDs or say Redhat or Cannonical or SUSE's legal departments to say something public on the situation. #linux #bsd #freebsd #floss.
