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.


There's nothing named "systemd" in the FILE_LIST [1] for Slack64-current (which is what eventually becomes "the next release" at the appropriate time.

So it would seem the GP has been taken in by some rumor somewhere.

I thought I saw in the last release a note that the next one would come with systemd. It could be I hallucinated it. Maybe I'm becoming a real LLM!


RELEASE_NOTES [1] contains no mention of systemd (or at least does not contain that string).

README.TXT [2] also does not contain the string "systemd"

ANNOUNCE.15.0 [3] also does not contain the string "systemd"

If such a 'note' were included in the last release (15.0) it should have been in one of the above three files. So there is nothing in the release that appears to indicate a shift to systemd.

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


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.


What business model would you propose for a service like Kagi that is not a subscription?


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.

We're now in the magic smoke age


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.

Sorry for hijacking your comment :)


this seems like a reasonable comment on its face, but then it reads selfishly. why should a developer donate time when a house isn’t donated to that programmer?


Economy is shit, what do you expect. Very few humans have the financial luxury to release free software and not try to monetize it at all.
