Slackware will never implement systemd. Father would not allow it.

Where have you heard that Slackware will be using systemd next release? I have been using slackware for years, and this is news to me.

This will probably be extremely radical and controversial in this contemporary world.

We need to stop adopting this subscription model society mentality and retake _our_ internet. Internet culture was at one point about sharing and creating, simply for the sake of it. We tinker'd and created in our free time, because we liked it and wanted to share with the world. There was something novel to this.

We are hackers, we only care about learning and exploring. If you want to fix a broken system, look to the generations of old, they didn't create and share simply to make money, they did it because they loved the idea of a open and free information super highway, a place where we could share thoughts, ideas and information at the touch of a few keystrokes. We _have_ to hold on to this ethos, or we will lose what ever little is left of this idea.

I see things like kagi and is instantly met with some new service, locked behind a paywall, promising lush green fields of bliss. This is part of the problem. (not saying kagi is a bad service) I see a normalized stigma around people who value privacy, and as a result is being locked out, behind the excuse of "mAliCiOuS" activity. I see monstrous giants getting away with undermining net neutrality and well established protocols for their own benefit.

I implore you all, young and old, re(connect) to the hacker ethos, and fight for a free and open internet. Make your very existence a act of rebellion.

Thank you for reading my delirium.

It's almost as if human creativity thrives when you create a low stress environment that caters to the individuals needs. I'm thinking some thing like like Jacque Fresco's - The Venus Project, but instead of radically changing how we interact with the environment through architecture. We create creative environments where humans can freely tinker, create and experiment... Some thing worth exploring further.

It's all just human arrogance in a centralized neural network. We are, despite all our glorious technology, just space monkeys who recently discovered fire.

It's funny how we keep moving the goal post in terms of environmentally friendly energy production as technology leaps forward, with a ever increasing energy demand. We humans tend to chase dragons of futility.

I think this is a highly underrated comment. It seems today, people wont create for free any more, just for the joy of creating and distributing some thing you care about. It's always please donate x to y. Or subscribe to get access to premium content.
