This article immediately reminded me of the classic "BSD is dying" meme. For those who haven't seen it yet, https://everything2.com/title/BSD+is+dying https://everything2.com/title/BSD+is+dying explains it, and several of the points listed there might also apply to this article: "[...] there is always someone who is more than willing to defend it", "easily knocked down facts", etc.
- jumpingmice 7y agoI immediately mentally inserted “Netcraft confirms” before the title of this submission. Glad I’m not the only one afflicted with this meme.
- user5994461 7y agoIgnoring the trolling aspect for a minute. There is actually a real discussion to be had on how BSD (or any software) continues to be developed and maintained, with support for current hardware It takes a lot of work to keep software going, both developers and time. Wondering where it comes from. If it's free it's not getting money from users to finance that; if the user base is dwindling it also means there are few developers or other-company employees to work on it.
