if someone is interested in contributing to #FreeBSD but do not have ideas, here is one: "fix API compatibility between our libusb and linux's one without breaking ABI", don't hesitate to ask me for more detail
Alas, I have to consider some other hardware that is more BSD friendly than what I currently have for my main laptop. Wifi worked great on NetBSD, whereas it was flaky on FreeBSD, but the audio input was the flaky one.
A ThinkPad, maybe? I'll gladly accept hardware recommendations for BSD-friendly models from at least a decade ago (read: cheap).

Do you live in Guernsey?
Do you use FreeBSD?
Do you want to financially support its continued development?
If you answered 'yes' to all of these questions, then I have good news for you - the FreeBSD Foundation's payment provider have made some fixes so you can now donate from Guernsey!
You should also get in touch with me so that we can start a user group :-)
Any #FreeBSD wifi people have some time? I'm using an ancient bwn card and this threahd (last post) is making me think there's a reversion to something because it's the only mention I can find using 14.0 forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.…
I've already built a kernel accepting the GPL so I'm not super afraid of getting my hands dirty
(I can provide better info in a bit, but the linked forum thread is my exact steps, which, once it was crashing the same way, lead me to that thread)
Seems that to this day a package for #chromium is still not built for the raspberrypi in 14-RELEASE. Without it, Office365 isn't 100% usable in it, and I'm forced to choose Debian at work despite the huge performance gap.
Just a thought… Wouldn’t it be nice if capsicum in #FreeBSD could be used in such way that you didn’t need to alter binaries, but from e.g. daemon(8) which would jail your binaries with the restricted capabilities
