Hello Tux2BSD, I hope this adds to the discussion and doesn’t derail it:
I am wondering about OpenBSD and Harry Potter: would these be complimentary or non-offending (to each other, probably very offensive generally) “perceived cults”? I find it interesting that people that discuss cults tend to have no formal training in the humanities. Anyway, I ask because I was thinking of wearing my Ravenclaw robe to an OpenBSD event and don’t want to seem like I’m representing the wrong community/ideology.

Most BSD/GNU people are hard-line leftists, my response won't be typical. The ideology that has a hold over you demands the denial of reality. It strongly encourages the chemical and physical mutilation of children, young adults, and adults. Your logo is well done. However, your logo sends the message that OpenBSD positively endorses that child harming ideology. My opinion is that operating systems should refrain from religious or ideological alignment which isn't specifically software related (e.g. BSD/GNU...). Kind of related. The guy called "Solene", another they/them, was quite a fan of OpenBSD but felt it necessary to broadcast why he moved on: https://www.osnews.com/story/141170/ I hope you make it out of that train-wreck of a cult one day. tux2bsd On Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024 at 2:06 PM, Gwen Nelson <g...@gwennelson.co.uk> wrote: Hi I'm setting up a pubnix server for LGBT people running the best OS (OpenBSD of course) and was wondering if it'd be acceptable to display puffy holding a pride flag on the project's website as a logo. See attached - I'm not sure if the puffy artwork is licensed to allow this kind of modification. I promise it's for a good cause and in good taste, the server has rules against people doing illegal stuff and being abusive etc, it's also invite-only and I'll ban anyone who's an asshole. The main purpose of the project is to build a community, similar to services such as sdf.org<http://sdf.org> or the tildeverse - I've found most people tend to default to Linux or NetBSD and felt OpenBSD is the superior option for my project. Naturally I'll give appropriate attribution too. I'm not subscribed to the list and looking for an official response, so also sending this to Theo. You guys have my utmost respect for creating such a beautiful clean yet functional and secure OS. Should there be any issues with this, please advise - as I said, the project and all involved have my utmost respect. Best regards
