9front also uses OpenBSD drivers for Intel cards, so it might also be one
Of those I think the only one that he uses/likes is Go — although I don't know what "American Fuzzy Lop" is and I'm uncertain about LSP. He uses old hardware, intentionally unsafe languages, probably basic terminal editing, and dislikes modern web such that standardizing it is only standardizing nonsense. He even has or is deeply involved in more 'traditionsl' alternatives to many of these — namely Hare (rust/go/etc), Sourcehut (Gitlab), and Gopher (web).
From his perspective, the changes to software that have occured are merely incremental changes to an existing pile of garbage
In psychology it's often defined as any behavioral method used to decrease an undesired behavior - split into positive and negative punishment. Positive punishment is adding stimuli that they don't like (physical punishment is included here, but lecturing can be too), and negative punishment is removing things that they like. If a child asks rudely for ice cream and you don't give it to them because of the way they asked, that's a form of (negative) punishment.
Your countertop example is too - from a behavioral perspective, that's just a form of (positive) punishment - you're making them do something they don't like in response to unwanted behavior. You might have an added rationale to connect things, but that's still what the behavioral effect is.
