As a long time FreeBSD user, the Foundation has really failed to impress me in recent years. I lost faith in them back in 2018 during the "code of conduct" fiasco, when they wasted Foundation funds on a consultant for a code of conduct that nobody really asked for. Haven't donated since -- instead I redirected my donations to the OpenBSD project, which while less practical in many scenarios, is a technically superior product in my eyes. That said, I am glad to see them focusing their efforts on something useful, like laptop compatibility. Regardless, this is a really dumb post. 10 minutes a day is not "daily driving."

According to [0] (I couldn't verify it to be clear) > Loren Gurkowski is the daughter of Deb Goodkin. > Her brother Drew Gurkowski started working for the FreeBSD Foundation as an intern in 2015 and continued as a consultant starting in 2018, until December 2024. If you founded a company I have no problem hiring yours kids. If you are elected or running a non profit relying on donations, you really have to be shameless to do that. - [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1rq0ucy/comment/o9v90j5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1rq0ucy/comment/o9...
