To clear up some misunderstandings. I was stating how I might respond, before thinking it over, to a personal attack, not anti-Slackware trolling.

Although I concur that reddit has too much of a commercial media outlet vibe, what with its reddit coins and reddit gifts and that kind of crud that completely detracts from any valuable content; I will confess that I found helpful assistance on my quest to master common lisp by writing a tool to help maintain slackware.

Another thing certainly terrible abou it, is that I can search for all kinds of words that I used in that blog, and the blog will not be found by its search engine, unless the words were used in the title; so I deduce that its search engine indexes titles only and skips indexing the content of its blogs: that's not just ludicrous; that's downright ineptitude.

Oh crud: I just realized I made this thread even longer...

and now that igadoter is gone, I don't get to answer his other thread with: No, Slackware does not need to be a trolling release...

Yeah I didn't say there's no useful info there, just that I only liked the rss part of the site.
The "bury" feature they copied from digg, that's my main problem with the site and my reason to avoid it.

Probably still lurking here somewhere, out of habit.

I'm gonna tell you to my mummy!

Certainly You meant troll feast?

I concur: the lad seemed more stressed than usual as of late

The Mummy

What about Egyptian daddies? Were all the ancient Egyptian pharaohs the result of parthenogenesis? No, more likely incest.

What's the next topic for discussion?
BTW, I never told my parents or anyone about the bullying. I settled for fantasising about gruesome revenge on the perpetrators.

Ahh... had to look it up: both digg, and the bury feature (I don't get out much)--and I concur on that as well: it oppresses freedom of speech and should be resisted. Thanks for pointing it out.

It does no such thing. Freedom of speech means that you can say what you like... It doesn't mean that people are required to listen.

Exactly. Also with freedom comes responsibility. That is, we're free to say what we want, but, we're also responsible for what we say. Specifically, if we say something insulting or hurtful we must live with the consequences of our actions. Enough said about this.
I'm excited about the release of 15.

As of recent i'm a on and off loosely following an Linux gaming discord server:

Some of the more vocal people there (most of whom are distro hopping around Debian and Arch (big surprise, right?)) are enjoying a so called "speedrun" install:

People get an system up and running in about an hour (record at 45 mins) and that's for Arch for instance.

What gets me is two things:

1. They manage to get their "ricing" right in that time.

2. I am over and done with my install and "ricing" of Slackware usually in about two weeks - if all goes normal?!

P.S.
"ricing" - making an install look custom fit to your own taste and feel.

Sorry cannot resist a comment. Agree 100%. There is one problem. These days there are folks who take anything said (or unsaid) as insulting or hurtful, including stating anything they disagree with. The old saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." sadly no longer applies today.

I really do wish the mods would shut this thread down.

It means the ad company is in a position to hire voters, in order to shift public opinion on their products?
How else did you think it worked? The bury feature, that is. I always thought it's obviously sweeping bad reviews under the carpet.

I've never timed it, but I would guesstimate I can to it in 45 minutes to an hour with Slackware64-current.
All the addition "third party" packages and tweaks are kept (and kept up-to-date) in my backup, so it is just a matter of installing them or copying them over after the initial install.
