      It's specifically designed to be for the developers to continue development, if you intend to do serious C development and not much else then yeah.
      I went through a couple months on my laptop and it ran fine, it had the same battery life as a heavy-set linux distro though.

          The absolute state.
          The OpenBSD project is by and for it's developers, this technical axiom is beyond your word frickery to try and get the GPL to pozz projects on ideological ground.
          The GPL is the cuck license as you need to sit in the corner and watch your code take the railings under a democracy, Theo is in charge of OpenBSD's direction till he dies.

            Again, you're imposing your ideology on the goals and desires of a BSD/MIT license to come to this conclusion.
            Sony upheld their license agreement and thanked the FreeBSD project.
            Why the frick do you want to attach your perversions and projections to an agreement that was upheld.
            What's more is while you mention Sony, they're 4 or so releases behind with the technical debt of either bringing their tree up to speed or rebasing their modifications in a current release.
            Netflix has donated a great deal of time and effort to FreeBSD, and in return they track essentially Head branch as an extremely cheap rolling release distro in production.

    Hilariously, even though corrected in the literature by Pike and Kernighan 40 years ago, GNU and OpenBSD utils packages both have cat -v. (and tons of other shit. Like ls being shit in multiple ways (try ls | cat. Notice anything)

          If we just had one program for every specific purpose we would have a hundred thousand different binaries on a single machine to fill the same use cases that a few hundred currently serve
          For example, the code below would have to be used to find lines containing gay, but not 'me', color the word gay, and tell you the line number
          rownumbers some_file | colorwords gay | grep gay | reversegrep me

            You are a dumbass Black person, programs can have options, WHEN THEY MAKE SENSE.
            ls doesn't need to format, pr can do that. ls | pr -5 (or 4 3 6 7 whatever) in a script names lc if the user wants that
            For your moronic command, it would actually be
            grep gay | grep -v me | colorwords
            Because grep -v makes sense, and 99.9% of people wouldn't need or want colored words in this case.

          I can see the point, but I'm not nearly purist enough to be bothered by added cat features. Fact is, people use cat to list files. So what? It's not the 80's any more.
          I agree ls behaviour is stupid. Though as previously mentioned, digesting piped ls output is also stupid.

            Frick you butthole. I can't pipe ls on my own system because some Black person might use a fricking newline in a filename, might as well never use ls? But cat -v and other option bloat poisoning the ecosystem, preventing new utilities from being created which may advance the entire environment with an unintended use (like cat file), is a-ok?

    One of the funniest and saddest horror stories of Cuck Licenses I can think of is Andrew Tanenbaum, who released MINIX, an operating system, under a BSD license. Intel silently took this software (thanks to its license) and unbeknownst to him, used it for their Intel Management Engine, making it the OS of the spyware microprocessor/backdoor now running in all Intel CPUs. We all have a permanent NSA backdoor because of the Intel Management Engine—all made possibly by Cuck License cuckery.

        If you understand the most basic facts of how storage devices work, It's not possible. The ftl would have to understand the file system to know what blocks can be erased for future use.
        It might be able to understand FAT but it sure as hell isn't going to understand FFS.

    Although the operating system and its portable components are used in commercial products, De Raadt says that little of the funding for the project comes from the industry: "traditionally all our funding has come from user donations and users buying our CDs (our other products don't really make us much money). Obviously, that has not been a lot of money."[86]

    For a two-year period in the early 2000s, the project received funding from DARPA, which "paid the salaries of 5 people to work completely full-time, bought about $30k in hardware, and paid for 3 hackathons", from the POSSE project.[86]

    In 2006, the OpenBSD project experienced financial difficulties.[112] The Mozilla Foundation[113] and GoDaddy[114] are among the organizations that helped OpenBSD to survive. However, De Raadt expressed concern about the asymmetry of funding: "I think that contributions should have come first from the vendors, secondly from the corporate users, and thirdly from individual users. But the response has been almost entirely the opposite, with almost a 15-to-1 dollar ratio in favor of the little people. Thanks a lot, little people!"[86]

    On 14 January 2014, Bob Beck issued a request for funding to cover electrical costs. If sustainable funding was not found, Beck suggested the OpenBSD project would shut down.[115] The project soon received a US$20,000 donation from Mircea Popescu, the Romanian creator of the MPEx bitcoin stock exchange, paid in bitcoins.[116] The project raised US$150,000[117] in response to the appeal, enabling it to pay its bills and securing its short-term future.[116]

            I already installed, it's too late. I need the hipster cred of running a BSD. The only other option is NetBSD which honestly might even be even more highly regarded in the hacker circles.

            Are you fricking kidding me? I am not the package maintainer. If Firefox needs to make a syscall to be able to fricking save files then that shit needs to be patched in.
            How can I solve this as a user without having to recompile Firefox?

            Also how do you even port standard ANSI C program to OpenBSD if it needs a snowflake syscall to work? Is that done by the standard library every time you launch a program or something?

    The openbsd developers are clearly strapped for cash and the desktop is last on their list of priorities. I woukdnt be surprised if openbsd becomes depreciated in the near future.
