What #unixlike operating systems do you know which are easy to port? Something like #NetBSD. I wonder if there is anything written in #commonlisp or #rust
There are some options but I'm not sure how much easy are they to port. I've heard many positive comments about bare metal development using Rust. I wonder how is common lisp in this regard.
I have extensive programming experience but not on bare metal or kernel programming.
Boosts for wider participation in the discussion are welcome.
I've been running #GnomeTerminal for years, but now it may bet time for a change. What #Terminal emulators are you using on your #Linux systems and why?

Kdenlive 25.04 released with AI-powered background removal plugin, OpenTimelineIO import/export, refactored audio thumbnail system, ability to change the duration of multiple adjacent clips in a single action and more:
https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/4/kdenlive-25-04-is-out-with-background-removal-opentimelineio-import-export-and-much-more/
(That background removal tool is actually a pretty good use of AI, and it runs locally, so no need to give Kdenlive Internet access.)
(The ability to change duration of multiple clips at once is also pretty useful, I might attempt to update Kdenlive to get that feature, and hope it doesn't break lol.)

BetaNews · Brave open sources Cookiecrumbler to make cookie consent blocking smarterBrave just made a move that should make privacy enthusiasts pretty happy. The company has officially open sourced Cookiecrumbler, a tool designed to automatically detect and help block those obnoxious cookie consent banners you see across the Web. These pop-ups are not only annoying but, according to research, often track users even when they click reject. Cookiecrumbler aims to stop that nonsense while avoiding the headaches that can come with sloppy blocking rules.

@BernieDoesIt @Catvalente there is:
- REFUSE TO RELEASE ON #iOS UNTIL THE TERMS ARE CHANGED!
As with every #Platform, #Software makes #OperatingSystems and the #OperatingSystem makes #Hardware.
- This worked with #WindowsPhone and #UWP: everyone refused to build #Apps for it and thus it died pretty quickly.
And if you want to say that's not an option, take a look at #AltStore which automates all the necessary work to perpetually #sideload any #App on iOS in a noob-friendly way.
Remember: "Everyone else does it" never was and never will be a valid excuse for any shit system!
- Also you could just refuse to offer the sales on Apple's platform and add any "#Premium Features" post-launch with your own payment & licensing infrastructure. If you're big enough or small enough you may get away with it. #NotLegalAdvice
Otherwise band together with other #developers and coordinate.
And if you allow Apple to exploit you harder than #Valve, then you normalize that shit!
