THE MYTH OF "CONSENSUAL" I CONSENT [ ●◀ ] systemd-resolved DNS per domain, DNS over TCP, DNS over HTTPS I CONSENT [ ●◀ ] systemd-networkd routing, VLANs, bridges, configuration, DNS per interface I DON'T! distribution-mandated NetworkManager *breaks your network* ISN'T THERE SOMEBODY YOU FORGOT TO ASK? New to FreeBSD? Download FreeBSD Supported Releases Production: 14.2 Legacy: 13.3, 14.1 Upcoming: 14.3 Support: Lifecycle freebsd.org

The meme presents systemd-resolved and systemd-networkd as components that supposedly consent to being used, while NetworkManager is labeled as distribution-mandated and "breaks your network." The punchline is that FreeBSD is personified as the overlooked alternative, asking whether anyone forgot to ask it; the joke targets Linux networking frustrations and promotes FreeBSD as a different choice.
