   #TIL Some people use Gentoo with USE="*" :blobcatterrified: Or how to break your system before you even installed it.

     @niconiconi USE="-*" is probably a more fun way to break everything.

     @kirby Please reconsider, considering that if you look inside "Free"BSD, you'll find proprietary software.

     It came to me in a dream.
     
     Using the knowledge from the dream (and grep firmware -r), I found lots of proprietary software in the "Free"BSD source tree, with a few examples being:
     https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/contrib/dev
     https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/contrib/dev/iwi
     https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/contrib/dev/nvidia
     
     Although the proprietary software is encoded in a strange way, "Free"BSD is still distributing proprietary software and "Free"BSD is therefore proprietary software.
     
     I also see a bunch of files that are unrelated to peripheral software with questionable licensing.
