Marshall Kirk McKusick, mentioned in this comic, was still committing changes to FreeBSD as of last August:

Looks nice, too bad though it doesn't expose any sort of RSS/Atom feed, if I can't add it to my feed reader I'll soon forget about it.

Love this. The human touch of illustration, and classic stories from computer history. I'm going through the entire series up to now, it's great.

My favorite panel so far: What is a real programmer? https://fosscomics.com/posts/6.%20The%20Origin%20of%20the%20...

Neat. Found an issue in chapter 3, first sentence says electronic computers were during WWII, but they were electro-mechanical… they used relays. Vac tubes came later, ENIAC was finished after the war finished, for example.

It absolutely needs like 52 panels. I hope they integrate some politics by panel 1025.
