  • It’s interesting you bring that up i think the star trek instance are one of the fewer instances that get federation right. They carved out their niche and stuck to it. I kind of wished we would have gotten more of them like that.

    Like the comics instance or the retro tech instance. Like you would go to the retro tech instance to the C64 community. So it would be logical how everything is broken out. Like old school forms for different subjects but they can also blend by talking to one another.

    So many just want to be generic catch all’s and it could be so much more.

    Debian since 1998 checking in

    I use it because it’s just always been there it’s the foundation for so many other distros and can be customized the way I want it to be. All the packages are for the most part vanilla other than fixing them to follow the Debian rules. The Debian rules are great since once you learn them. You knows where to find anything on a Debian system.

    Doesn’t a company have more guarantee to be lawful, because they will be under the magnifier glass compared to a bunch of anonymous individuals?>

    As we see every day companies are not held accountable. As for a bunch of individuals the rest of the servers can shun people (deFederate) that are doing unacceptable behavior just like in real life when living in a society.



  • Stuff needed tweaking more wine worked almost never even for basically window’s programs. Configuring Xfree86 was black magic. Running Startx at the terminal prompt was like rolling the dice. Distro choice was smaller and it was really a choice. Since the child distros were less of a thing. You had Debian , Redhat, Slackware, and SUSE. All were very different at a fundamental level with packaging and philosophy. Also it was way more common to buy boxed copies of Linux distros with big thick manuals that helped you get it installed and take your first steps with Linux. It reminded me of when I first got my TI 83 calculator an it had that massive manual with it.

    Also Lugs and spending a lot of time on IRC getting and helping people on freenode (don’t go there now) was a must.
