Sorry guys, *correct link about my personal journey with UNIX-like
systems : https://www.saboua.xyz/BSD.html
That's what it is to be compulsive.

I've heard of it but there's few chances I'd ever come back from
(Open)BSD to Linux.
See the playlist referenced in my blogpost as per one of the reasons
why:

Oh ! I think I get you. I had the impression that you were sympathetic
to
antipsychiatry, especially given the related posts on your blog. I'm
still
not very sure but ... I've never been charged for anything criminal or
against
the law, you're making quite a broad generalization here.
When talking about mental illness and the aforementioned soothing I get
from
obsd and suckless, I was alluding to the relative cognitive overload
undeliberately enforced by other projects which seems mostly absent from
these
two – as hinted at in the title of my page UNIX.html @saboua.xyz

That's right. A lot of diagnoses are abusive, esp. when considering the
prevalent
traumatic liminal state that pervades among our relatives within
society. But as
for me I attribute this to Big Pharma's lucrative motive, not legal
summons which
I've seen cases of while at the ward.

Precisely. Legal is not necessarily moral.

Oh, I see ! You're from the “Common Law v Maritime Law,” “Free Man on
the Land” [1] bunch. I've enjoyed this conspiracy theory a lot, in
France we had the “je ne contracte pas” [2] stemming from it just last
year. But French law stems from Napoleonic Civil Code, i.e. continental
law, which is ; little to do with Common Law... Anyways.

[2] https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxWnBY9qjby4Uw71PwEZ3EvFhlKiWRqkB9

In the end, I believe this all stems from the misplaced free association
thought (or misplaced “right brain” more or less). As somebody else
says, “I stopped nurturing any interest in Ancap/Libertarianism when I
realized it is but yet another neuroatypy.”

Enjoy
