I’m talking about GNU Mach which afaik powered Hurd. FreeBSD came from 4.3 or 4.4BSD, you’re thinking of NeXTSTEP which used a combo of non-GNU Mach and 4.3BSD-Tahoe before (this might be wrong)Apple bumped it to 4.4BSD and then later FreeBSD.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.social/users/mrmasterkeyboard/statuses/116492272104586654</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.social/users/mrmasterkeyboard/statuses/116492272104586654</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 30 Apr 2026 06:36:47 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to @elebertus @nyc IIRC, didn’t GNU Mach and Hurd have some AI slop stuff happen? on Thu, 30 Apr 2026 06:34:17 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<span><a href="/user/mrmasterkeyboard%40mastodon.social" rel="ugc">@<span>mrmasterkeyboard</span></a></span> <span><a href="/user/nyc%40discuss.systems" rel="ugc">@<span>nyc</span></a></span> <span><a href="https://eigenmagic.net/@elebertus" rel="ugc">@<span>elebertus</span></a></span> Mach was FreeBSD iirc.

Beyond that, I've only recently been made to realise the issues with AI threatening open source in the past few weeks. If Hurd has suffered codebase pollution, this is the first I'm hearing of it.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://discuss.systems/users/nyc/statuses/116490645508800172</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://discuss.systems/users/nyc/statuses/116490645508800172</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[nyc@discuss.systems]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 23:43:07 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
