The Free Software advocates back then, especially the GNOME group, were more aligned with my values. FreeBSD was what we used at work, and it was great, but it wasn&#39;t the focal point of principles in software. <br/><br/>It&#39;s absolutely mind boggling how things have changed. Today, I&#39;m worried my Linux distro of choice is going to collaborate with censorious government and corporate initiatives, and as a parent I&#39;m worried about my children&#39;s privacy using Linux in future.<br/><br/>NetBSD may not be able to resume from suspend on my thinkpad, but it I have no such worry about privacy and civil liberties using it.<br/><br/><a href="https://functional.cafe/@tfb/116277547823206181">https://functional.cafe/@tfb/116277547823206181</a> 2026-03-23T08:43:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstjx657rzz52w0mveujymk7wtw5l5kvjcqxpypfezrq2w2rqe77jczyrte8gw8ty3rujarvjjaaack6zwmdaqres3ffufje0swan5l8vrqxrakkkx Stolen and fixed (-;<br/><br/><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/@robpumphrey/115428048647790468">https://mastodonapp.uk/@robpumphrey/115428048647790468</a><br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1klxg9d3a4u0uwau6udnhtaj3afh76uj4u5zerc3l24z02e7s83sqvs3ghz" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Rob Pumphrey</span> (<span class="italic">npub1klx…3ghz</span>)</a></span><br/> <img src="https://media.bsd.cafe/bsdmmedia01/media_attachments/files/115/433/597/035/837/675/original/5f0d5b193af2f610.jpg"> <br/> 2025-10-25T07:22:39Z
