A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON

Cool to see.

I am curious though, does Slackware do anything that other Distros can't?

Is there a reason to choose it over say Debian or Fedora aside from it being around for so long and the nostalgia factor

Access to open source, end to end encrypted technology. Particularly for messaging/ communication.

Vanity, marketing and buying shit unnecessarily.

I have a Fairphone 3 that I got in January 2020. Its a great device. I want to using it daily for between 5 to 10 years. And I have no doubt it will do that.

Meanwhile my brother has bought 3 Samsung devices in that time. And each one still works fine. He doesn't need a new phone each time but he will still insist on it.

Boy do I have a phone for you!

You can use adb to uninstall those kinds of baked in apps. Its completely fucked up that you need to though.

God I remember reading about Reddit's warrant canary being taken down.

I remember thinking that it was no big deal and it will always be the same.

How wrong and naive I was lol
