perhaps worth pointing out the "some unique features" instead of being so vague about it ;)

it's a very subjective question, depending on stuff like how much you care to update the system, but I'd say: you might like https://mxlinux.org/ which has seen growing popularity,…

"crazy old" likely has years and years of people documenting all the workarounds and hacks that need to be done to achieve X while "crazy new" might not have that much cruft, but y…

I'd think it probably just splits to two groups: 1) IT is critical, therefore we'll use modern tech that makes it more reliable or better, VS 2) Meh, It Works™, so why change it? W…

I will say, I WOULD absolutely love it, if it weren't for the little problem...that...I can't "just add to the zip"...because for whatever reason, it ruins the special setup... on …

I mean, it's not hard to test that ;) firefox has a builtin offline mode, for example

seems to be fine on my end?

I'd upvote thrice if I could ;) there's so many ways to utilize ternary, on different levels, you could use this kind of ternary hardware serialisation as an addon to normal binary…

more the fault of the site devs for not using css media queries, or svg ;p

I imagine it should be pretty easy with javascript to set up dummy images, and replace them... probably also doable in pure css, just make them a block element or something, with a…

I especially hate the way gnu utils treat character groups like [:alnum:] which, if you have utf8 version of a locale, matches characters in ANY unicode language set... so if you, …

well, gnome creates folders in whatever language you installed with, tho it can translate the file manager's sidebar items, I think... so a change of locale means you'd still have …

I've never had any such problems in my life with FF... not even when opening over a thousand tabs (of course not all active at the same time, lol)... sux they removed actually usef…

I'm preeettty sure that's just because it's relying on the separate WebView app, using WebView is also how it's possible for people to make sub-megabyte android browsers, such as […

it IS trivial to port forward though, lol

what happened to the simple invocation of `which "$(echo $0)"` ?

which "$(echo $0)" should work no matter the invokation ;p if full path, it still returns full path, if just "bash" or such it finds it from $PATH, badoom!
