There's like a trillion alternatives for that including Hackintosh (I assume you're not dumb enough to pay for anything from Apple) and things from outside of the Linux sphere entirely.

Its not revenge, they just want to infect place that pay well because that flashy Gender studies degree they have only serves to look cool in a wall, they dont care about equality they just want fancy things in their CV even if that means burning the place to the ground and be labeled as a moron in the process
Never thought to see a rational and logic discussion in that forum, the guy is right, this is just a tool to pursue heretics against the cock cutters

It's closed source, which seems to be half of the issue that he's having.
The other half is just "muh *nix" though.

The Darwin kernel, which is what macOS is based on, is FOSS. Almost all of the higher level stuff above that though is closed.

There are some forks of it like OpenDarwin but it's fringe stuff nobody uses.

What windows used to be for normies, linux is for developers today.
All development tools (aside from niche, platform specific stuff, like targeting windows or iOS) are better maintained on Linux.
Bad developers make lots of dumb assumptions that Linux == POSIX.
And even intentionally, there's software that uses linux specific kernel APIs. Like, there still isn't a native version of docker for OS X. Which blows my mind.

Yeah I didn't realize who it was until after I posted and didn't even know it was a troon. Thanks for the link.

More of the kernel will be written by Chinese devs, Intel, and Google.

I wish "POSIX compliaint" meant software would be cross-compatible, but it doesn't mean too much in the end. The state of software and driver support on Linux is better than before, but still iffy. For stuff like the GNU Hurd and OpenBSD you can kiss the possibility using them with new hardware and software goodbye.
Then again, I'm trying to use my Linux system with Nvidia so I'm flat out retarded to begin with, but I think losing Linux-based desktops to a shitty CoC could still a big ding to FOSS desktops in general. I think that's because championing Linux lead to the community putting all their eggs in one basket. If only the Hurd was more complete...

Both MacOS and Solaris are ostensibly POSIX-compliant. Other than being nix-based it's hard to imagine two more different OSes. I honestly don't even really know what POSIX means at this point.

Not much. With stuff like Cygwin even Windows is "POSIX compliant".
inb4 but that's just emulation: OS X didn't even use a POSIX file system until recently and had to rely on the VFS layer to emulate the necessary POSIX functions.

Every time I see the name Coraline next to that dude, it's a contradiction.

Code of Conduct more like Contradictions of """Coraline"""
Because there is no guideline for uniform enforcement of the girlCoC and tribalism reigns supreme, you couldn't even open an issue over this and expect to see the CoC actually followed. It's only meant to be used on those "on the outside." Pretty sure it was already tried on a project Coraline contributes to and it got closed faster than your browser full of porn when your mom walks in without knocking.

I love how she brings up that Ruby issue at the end. Matz was nothing but nice in that thread.

Matz was a saint.
His only "sin" was taking the CoC proposed by Ada and stripping it of any power to screw people over for reasons of ideology.

The Ruby CoC is the best one out there. There's no selective bullying and it demands tolerance, not bootlicking. It doesn't even have an enforcement council because if something is that bad, let the community of devs or leader hash it out.

The claim that the contributor covenant is the most popular CoC is pretty headass. Most controversial, sure, but it's not popular.

none. only because it's hard to pick anything out from most autistic flailing rants like those through all the screeching and swearing. feels like i'm trying to look through a brick wall "spotting" anything.

Trannies gonna tranny. A well-adjusted tranny is an oxymoron. You also have to consider that these already mentally ill guys have a hormon imbalance through taking estrogens, it's like giving an unstable person crazy pills. Then sometimes they hack off their junk. This is good and progressive for some reason and as you can see doesn't cause problems for anyone.
I also looked a bit into OpenBSD. My first impressions so far are that I am not that impressed. The base system is very clean, and the documentation really is good, but so is the documentation of most non-shit software. One problem I have with both the documentation and online resources is that they kind of often say things like "but this is only for advanced users" but don't really give you information to get into that inner circle of "advanced users". They just kinda assume you have followed OpenBSD for years and are also up to date with current developments. Base functionality is implemented clean and very sane, there's also not a lot of choice regarding some of that base functionality which actually can be good sometimes. It feels all very coherent and simple, but coming from highly customized gentoo setups, this is nothing you can't do on your own in linux. Hardware support, if stuff is supported, just works. There don't seem to be these perpetually "under cunstruction" areas Linux has. Even on an old Atom netbook terminal emulators in X11 and on the console itself are very quick and not slow as molasses like in Linux. Basic functionality is easy to set. For a console-oriented setup that mostly remotely connects, it is a nice and low-maintenance system with very sane defaults.
Sadly, lots of advanced functionality you get used to as advanced linux user is just plain missing. chroot and DAC is pretty much it regarding security features. No sandboxes, very limited VM support. (there's vmm for native, hardware-accelerated virtualization but is has no graphic support nor any other advanced features like pci passthrough) qemu is also available but not hardware-accelerated. No namespaces, no MAC, none of that stuff. pf seems better than iptables. They did away with /proc for some insane reason and you can't even compile it into a custom kernel anymore. This breaks quite a few programs. Security is good as long as you stick with the base set of software that's directly offered and has OS support (like the pledge stuff) and compatible because of a lot in-the-background security which is well thought out, if you want to branch out into 3rd party software though you are on your own and lose all those advantages. OpenBSD simply is not a lot about choice.
So some good and some bad, overall it's nice but it doesn't give you all the stuff Linux does if you are a power user and is far away from doing so. If you are just a normal user with simple demands and prefer minimalistic stuff to heavy-handed bloated crapware like SystemD then OpenBSD could be interesting.
