    Those people were idiots who didn't understand the concept of neutral.

    Thats like one specific model of car jerking the wheel into oncoming traffic for no reason. Completely unacceptable.

    Thanks for the info. I was wondering why you needed to be root to run traceroute now. I started using Slackware in 1996 and got away from Linux in the early 00s. My personal server runs OpenBSD so I missed the recent shit show that Linux has turned into. Now I use Ubuntu at my job and its the Windows 10 of Linux.

    Yeah I really need my init system to worry about DNS caching. Also why is traceroute considered legacy now? It did one thing well for decades but had to be scrapped for showpath? What was the point? Was the effort worth it? Was anything gained? Thank god Slackware is still sane and usable.

    From the same dipshit group that voted for systemd by default.

    I bought glasses from them once and the coating was flaking off the lenses after a year or so. Never had that problem with anyone else.

    Snap doesn't fucking work if your home directory is in a non standard location. Say /home/blah.corp/mylogin. I couldn't even get gnome calculator to run because of snap. Oh and the program itself is nearly two megabytes in size. Xcalc does the exact same functions and its not even 40 kilobytes!

  15. There are thousands of packages that do not require changes other than fixes when bugs are found. Your software does the job it was designed to do without issue. STOP. Your work is done. You have reached the pinnacle. Everywhere else you go will be down hill.

    Dependencies and obscure libraries are such a problem now they had to be made into containers because no one else can even begin to compile your shitty code.

    If you have problems with these old fogies then start your own branch and quit your bitching.
