Happy International Day for Biological Diversity! 🌱
A diverse ecosystem is a strong ecosystem. In the tech world, NetBSD brings vital diversity by proving that clean, portable, and secure code can run on virtually any architecture. This adaptability keeps computing open and accessible to everyone.
Let's keep the digital ecosystem diverse. Consider supporting the NetBSD Foundation today by contributing code, writing documentation, or making a donation! 💻🚩

The UNIX shell is still one of the best IDEs ever created.
grep/find/sed/awk/make/ssh/git/nvi often compose better than many modern “integrated” environments.
Small programs connected together still scale surprisingly well.

Two new font families landed in Slackware-current: UW ttyp0 and Spleen!
Both are also available in the installer, which now uses the updated rc.font for
automatic console font sizing. Spleen is the new default console font.
UW ttyp0 is my personal favorite. I use WET-Ttyp0Regular22x11 on my laptop’s console.
Thanks, Patrick!

Besides tiling window managers (bspwm and i3wm), I have mostly used the Cinnamon desktop environment for the past five years.
I am exploring MATE and XFCE more now. I used to use Ubuntu MATE, but haven't really "daily driven" XFCE.
If you had to choose between the two, what would you prefer for a Linux or BSD desktop environment:
#Linux #BSD #MATE #XFCE

Note: this is a very off-the-cuff tier list, using speed as the main qualifier, but the article explains exceptions to that as it goes on.

Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux FLOSS Drivers
After investigation; Gaomon, XpPen, and Huion won't collaborate on open-source drivers because of outdated naming conventions. Here's what I learned from direct contact with their technical teams, and what I plan to do to move forward.
