Linux@programming.dev•Linus Torvalds shares his thoughts on Anti-AI coding rulesEnglish
2·3 days agoI plan to put Haiku on my old ThinkPad; but the lack of even a lock screen in the OS sadly makes it unsuitable for my main machine.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux kernel devs drop obligatory confession of AI tool usageEnglish
0·4 days agoOpenBSD only has a handful of slop commits, NetBSD only had one and apparenty has since removed the code, and both MirBSD and HyperbolaBSD are firmly anti-AI (though not ready for release yet).
Besides, this new policy of not having to declare AI-generated code doesn’t apply to BSD.

Ah, yes. The OS with an innit system, UKUI (United Kingdom User Interface) or MATE (you wot m8‽), and british (bloody ridiculous interactive terminal input shell).




















NetBSD has one slop commit, and they have apparently since removed the code it brought in. Besides, I need some level of mainstream software support for uni, and pkgsrc is half-decent for that.
GNU Mach (a component of Hurd), meanwhile, have been using Claude for code reviews (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2026-03/msg00100.html, https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2026-02/pdffAOvuZusjj.pdf); and the GNU Project itself is still on the fence (GCC, for example, has 57 slop commits and counting).
