If I am reading this right, Slackware 15.0 is already fixed:

     % uname -a
     Linux XXXX 5.15.223 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Oct 22 00:03:07 CDT 2026
     x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4810MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Too little, too late.

There are aspects of many political parties I agree with, but to me, being against Nuclear Power is the largest short sighted items this and a couple of other parties are/were against.

If many countries took the same road as France, the world would be in a much better place. Imagine the energy advances that could have happened if nuclear was supported for the past 50 years.

per the link, atto(1) is 48 kilobytes.

>making it suitable for inclusion in the rescue system

People seem to be missing the point. Also NetBSD has what I call a "real single user mode". Last time I had to boot single user, ed(1) was the only editor available without some work. My guess is this new editor will be useful for people who do not want to deal with ed(1).

I have not seen it yet, but I guess it will be included in 11.1.

I doubt tech right now can be equated with tobacco, its use does not kill.

Now AI ? The day will probably come when AI will kill on purpose without a real person's involvement. I know about the Iran School, but at that time I thought I heard the final decision was made by a person as opposed to AI.

So we really need to learn to push back should AI starts heading down that path, even if it costs you your job.

Interesting.

At one tine, Slackware Linux would not recompile binaries unless the program was patched. So there was a time you could find rather old binaries on Slackware, and maybe still on other distros.

I wonder what the oldest unchanged source/program running on Linux or BSD ? My vote goes to cat(1) :)

I learned to live with my mistakes :)

I remember the old USENET Days, back them people were noto concerned with spelling, at least in the groups I read.

I hope so, I still listen to the radio.

The AM Station in the city I grew up I would play the old radio serials from before TV on Sunday Evenings. I had to move away so I cannot get that station, but I will have to check if I can stream it.

Why ? It is not owned and controlled by billionaires. Plus no AI slop being spammed to gopher sites.

FWIW, the same applies to gemini protocol.

Should be "Elon Musk Just Gave Europe yet another Reason to Replace American Technology"

very nice, saved!

>In a way, Torvalds is more true to liberty than Stallman: Do what you want with the code.

To be fair, RMS is not about that kind of liberty. IIRC, FSF/GNU was a reaction to a piece of hardware that the lab had that was orphaned. So he reversed engineered it and GNU took off from there.

I believe his intent was to protect the user to be able to use their hardware as they saw fit.

Corporations want to extort us to use items their way, not our way and to spy on how we use the product.
