It absolutely gets used in English speaking companies. I’ve got one in my work calendar as a reoccurring event.

How obvious is it that it’s a bot?
You can use version numbers, but it’s on you to change them when new point releases drop.
I guess it’s a good thing the Debian releases all have version numbers then.
It’s good for bragging rights, but a u2955 Celeron Chromebook is better value for money.
I duct taped a RPi4 to the back of a Motorola Lapdock and used custom cables to make the combo into the worst laptop ever. If yours counts, mine does too. This is what the Lapdock looks like:
I’ve got a 500mhz Celeron from the P3 days, it runs OS/2 and has an ISA EPROM burner card in it.
Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.
My i5-4690 and i7-4770 machines remain competitive to this day, even with spectre patches in place. I saw no reason to ‘upgrade’ to 6/7/8th gen CPUs.
I’m looking for a new desktop now, but for the costs involved I might just end up parting together a HP Z6 G4 with server surplus cpu/ram. The costs of going to 11th+ desktop Intel don’t seem worth it.
I’m going to look at the more recent AMD offerings, but I’m not sure they’ll compete with surplus server kit.
I used to think so too, but I’ve got an Intel box where I have to turn hardware offload off in order to not have networking ‘crashes’ (complete with kernel dump data) that take out my networking for 5-15sec. Chip is i218-LM r05.
I’ve never had an issue with my i210 and x550 chips, but this 218 is super frustrating.
My last year of uni I was broke. The previous year the parking passes had red letters, that year purple. That was the only difference. The colour. I traced over all the letters of my previous parking pass with a blue sharpie and parked for free all year.
She did? Which wife?
I think it’s best to not defend kiddie porn, unless you have a republican senator in your pocket.
The last time my community found a PID.0 in our midst, he was beaten downtown in broad daylight by over a dozen assailants, no witnesses.
Sounds like they’ve stayed much the same.
There was a time when I enjoyed that kind of effort. Now I have a job in I.T. and a toddler that I want to spend my free time with. When I use my personal/private computer, I just want my software to work and I want to be able to keep it patched with minimal effort.
In a way I’m glad Slackware has kept to the original ideals. I enjoyed using it from the 3 series through 7 at least. I remember people getting their knickers in a twist when he jumped version numbers. In those days I had a custom kernel that I wove patches into. Big O scheduler, usb support, agpart support, some other stuff I can’t remember. I remember wanting low latency because MP3s skipped otherwise.
It was fun, but back then hacking on Linux kernel patches and building things from source was my hobby. I remember loading Linux into a powermac 4400 because I could, and I used it as my always-on IRC machine.
Ahhh Slackware.
Serious question - does Slackware offer any special features that make it more attractive?
I stopped using Slackware back when Corel Linux released, and when CL died I switched to Debian and never looked back.
As of January 2024, archive.org claims to have over 99 Petabytes of data stored.
I’ve run Minecraft: Bedrock on Linux/amd64 using a wrapper that repackaged the android distro. I was able to log in to my MS account and play on servers requiring the online authentication crap.
I speak a little bit of German, but no, the guy who created the series is a native English speaker with Afrikaans as his second language.
