| schestowitz | Among the non-systemDevil distros, I prefer one that is very much updated, agile, and easy: PCLinuxOS. But I have used and like many others like GALPon MiniNo, antiX, all the Slackware offspring (Salix, Slackel, Vector, Absolute, Austrumi…), SliTaz, TinyCore, … and Devuan ! | Nov 08 19:04 |

| schestowitz | tried tinycore when it was new, shingledecker told me about it in an email regarding dsl. i remixed it with mcorepup (a predecessor to distro-libre) though i think its mildly impractical. it almost proves that you dont want everything in its own sfs-- but i suspect it would be more likely to advance if the community attitude on remixes was a little closer to that of puppys. | Nov 08 19:04 |
| schestowitz | theres an atmosphere thats a bit stuffed-shirt over there-- of course remixes are technically allowed, at least shingledecker takes the gpl seriously, which is a plus. | Nov 08 19:04 |

| schestowitz | youre doing it wrong. | Nov 08 19:04 |
| schestowitz | i mean, most people would say the idea itself is wrong, you have to be pretty conservative when mixing two distros unless you want unreliable results. | Nov 08 19:04 |
| schestowitz | most of the time ive remixed distros, i was mixing two or more, hence the advice. also ubuntu and debian in particular are often at stages of development (version) that dont mix well. | Nov 08 19:04 |

| schestowitz | ive given up on counterpunch, i still sometimes click on truthdig and commondreams. i nearly gave up on cd (ive occasionally read them since 2003) but counterpunch had one too many really stupid articles, and one too many (in this context) is A LOT more than most people can tolerate. | Nov 08 19:24 |
| schestowitz | i gave on zdnet before roy did too. i doubt either of you give up on counterpunch any time soon, and thats fine. but roy gives them free clicks all day every day. his call, just like it was with zdnet. for what its worth, zdnet is a lot worse than counterpunch. but im going to go ahead and put them together in this theme. my favourite thing about common dreams is their licensing. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/11/07/taxing-bill-gates- | Nov 08 19:24 |

| schestowitz | from my point of view, it was the precursor to his ousting from the fsf: https://wwahammy.com/on-safety-at-libreplanet/ | Nov 08 19:45 |
| schestowitz | let me take you back a few years. ive dated people who wanted to attend libreplanet with me. i didnt want to go, i thought their code of conduct was too one-sided and likely to be unevenly applied. i didnt want to attend an event with such a hostile view of the people who pay to go there. i wouldnt buy coffee from a place with a code of conduct like that. | Nov 08 19:45 |
| schestowitz | but i never thought it would be used against the likes of torvalds and stallman. look at that link-- the code of conduct is the malleus hackerum. i feel the same way about libreplanet that detractors feel about freebsd adopting their code of conduct. but the fact that libreplanet was used to attack stallman simply clinches it. toxic event, i dont think anybody should go (of course it should be their choice, but i think it is better to boycott | Nov 08 19:45 |
| schestowitz | the event until stallman is fully welcome again. which probably means permanently.) fuck libreplanet, if thats not clear enough. | Nov 08 19:45 |

| schestowitz | of course those who were not involved, i have nothing against them. they might have something against me, although thats rather beside the point. | Nov 08 19:45 |
| schestowitz | if libreplanet is used to attack the very person who is the reason it exists, then it should take a stand and defend that person. if it doesnt, i find it toxic and useless and antagonistic. like i said, i considered it a problem for ages. they didnt prove it to be until recently. but ill still recommend the videos-- those are useful. | Nov 08 19:45 |
