A reminder how AI can be trash.

There is no such thing as Hurd Linux. The Hurd/Mach and Linux are both entirely different kernels. I wonder how someone could allow this to be published, knowing that there is no such thing as Hurd Linux.

Asides from the article, I do think it is possible to create a Hurd Linux. The Hurd in reality is just a collection of translators that make the GNU Mach useful, like the ext2fs. If someone were to create a Linux based microkernel, it would be possible to port the Hurd to it. Now that would be a tremendous amount of rewriting to make a Hurd Linux kernel, but in theory it is possible.

[Unrelated]. Ten stories from around the world: LibreLocal 2026, part one — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/51740720

The most interesting part I found in this read was:

The updated entry, by another free software supporter in Iran, reads: "This year, one of our dedicated activists organized a LibrePlanet event from within prison in Iran. Currently serving a sentence for "cyber-crimes" related to his promotion of free software, he continues to introduce the principles of software freedom to his fellow inmates. We have placed this banner to honor his resilience and the community of individuals in prison who continue to stand for technological freedom. His identity will be revealed when it is safe to do so."

Tags have arrived to the community. Feedback needed!

I figured that posts should be organized by their tags. This will help because one could use tags to filter certain posts. In addition, it allows for you to see what the post is about without reading its contents. Check the sidebar to see which tags can be used. If there is a tag that is not there that you want, or maybe some confusion between the tags, please let me know. If there is something you would want to be implemented or changed in this community, give your criticism.
