Interesting.

In the image you linked (PinkPuffy.png), the cat's hat says "security." In the OpenBSD store, the cat's hat reads "POLICE" on several of the shirts.

The artwork on the store may have been an earlier (non-final) version, or there's just simply multiple variations, which is usually the case for the t-shirt art.

Job Snijders works closely with the artists each release, and runs the store.

The images for the last two shirts appear to have gibberish on the hat indicating AI was somehow involved. https://openbsd.creator-spring.com/listing/openbsd-7-9?produ...

Edit: oops, bad eyesight led my brain to believe "no way this is legible text" when in fact it is. Needed a screen magnifier to read it clearly. Though the other items have police in place of security.

I don't see any "gibberish".

My bad. I have poor eye sight and on my first look the fonts appeared jumbled. On second look with a screen magnifier I can see it reads security while the others read police.

Interesting to see OpenBSD continuing to gain hardware support. I've been running it on a small home server for DNS/DHCP and the stability is remarkable. The man years of auditing really show.

Pretty much any OS would be just as stable if it's just serving DNS/DHCP.

"Interesting"

Is this an AI-generated comment

It was originally [flagged] and [dead]

It's a new account, and by default new accounts have their posts flagged/dead I think?

FWIW my guess is you're right - this user looks like a bot based on this comment and their other one; I've noticed that somewhat-vacuous praise for a post is a bot tendency. Although it's also a human tendency, so maybe too soon to tell. What a world.

Will be interesting to see if Theo leans into AI ... and starts having AI generate the release artwork & songs.
