    I am not on board with the graphic, whatever the heck it is.

      Forget the artwork and check out the accompanying song and lyrics for the new release. I think it's one of the funnier ones so far. https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#80

      And so it begins.

      SlopenBSD.

      Disappointing OpenBSD is and all of software is descending into slop.

      As with pretty much all software and now artwork.

      I suspect it is social commentary on the dangers of letting the machine do all your thinking for you.

      I really like OpenBSD. I have used it for years. I feel the folks there are very helpful and awesome but I also do not like that graphic.

        You are not supposed to, it is intended to represent(and probably is) a machine generated image.

        I have not really formalized my thoughts on the matter, but it boils down to. It feels great to get the machine to generate a thing for you but it feels terrible to receive a thing from somebody that is machine generated.

        The worse part is the paranoia, Now I am seeing "tells" of machine generated content, and it may or may not be. But I have already lost interest.

        The real irony would be that it is a hand drawn image carefully animated to feel machine generated.

        To be fair, I'm reading it as satire of AI. So not liking it is kind of the point.

    In recent past releases there was a noticeable improvement to SMP related networking bits.

    Does anyone have benchmarks between 8.0 and previous releases in that department?
