Well, it’s easy… just be born in the early 80s and grow up with home micros!

I am still more inclined to follow the “old Linux nerds rulebook” and keep recommending to learn LaTex ;-)

At age ten I was coding in Assembly on my C64 and build radio controlled model airplanes without assistance from an adult… so I guess in this case the ten year old should have a pretty clear understanding of his action and the consequences. And to be honest: What did happen? He got wet. Booo-hoo what a tragedy! Would he have gotten a good spanking (would perhaps have happened when I was this age in the 80s), then perhaps I could slightly understand the outrage from his dad.

What about a trip into the smol-web? Perhaps a Gopher or Gemini Server? A IRC Bouncer? Or enter the fascinating world of telnet BBS systems!

Yeah, we should have ended our ties to the US and our infrastructural dependency back then.

Back then was one of the few moments I was proud about a german politician, when Schröder said “No”.

So, let us part with this few last words from me i write without wanting to anger you, just to with the hope you may contemplate about: “In todays age there is nothing apolitical. You are either a part of the solution… or of the problem”.

Dead broke son of a low middle class family. …in a western country, especially in the US.

Yeah, that IS inherited privilege. You realize, that a low middle class american family is still in the uper ~ 10 % of currently living humans?

Well, Brave is -regardless of the companies decisions- still a damn good browser with many build in essentials (TOR, IPFS, Bittorrent…), so, while I PERSONALLY don’t use this anymore (currently I use an heavily patched suckless surf and Dillo) I don’t see much wrong in including this in a distribution especially catering to users switching from windows.

Well, for me it would be the setup i am now using since about 15 years:

WM: flwm Filemanager: ROX-Filer Background: feh

… and a ton of tools i accumulated over the yesrs

Well, you would be surprised how much really good software from back in the day (especially games) can run on quiet modern hardware. I have an old Thinkpad with a Core2Duo running FreeDOS that I mostly use for gaming and most of the DOS titles of the late 80s to mid 90 are running quiet well.
