Jeg skal være helt ærlig og indrømme at jeg går rundt og er i lidt dårligt humør i disse dage, alt for meget #Enshitification uanset hvad jeg roder med.

Humøret bliver på ingen måde bedre af nyheder som denne:

Hvordan i den hede hule helvede kan det først være i 2026 Folketinget får sikre faciliteter til videomøder ?

Og hånden på hjærtet, hvor overbeviste er vi lige om, at den løsning de har lånt af forsvaret og den de senere selv vil anskaffe, ikke er fyldt med kinesiske og usanske bagdøre og spyware ?

you are about to be subject to a rant...

I have been using #Unix *compatible* operating systems since 1993, when I first got the chance. That was the sole reason why I went back to get another engineering degree, for internet access and Unix, which was very difficult for a normal person to get back then. Very selfish of me, but I met awesome people and early architects of the internet as we know it today, It was about free unrestricted access to the greatest engineering information and communication in the world. There was a massive satellite dish at the university library that went into the telecommunications room that supplied #dialup connections to the offices and home computer use. In the faculty offices, 19200 baud, at home the mighty 1200 baud modem and a telephone line.

All I needed was an 80x25 VT102 compatible terminal. Back then, thousands of dollars could easily afford a computer to run a terminal emulator. The IBM PC/AT 386 that could double as a boat anchor did the job, but only had just over a megabyte of memory, which was a lot in those days. All I still need is a 80x25 terminal, but 80x50 is nice. 120x50, even better, sweet!

Fast forward through the 2000's, after the historically amazing RedHat IPO that helped unseat the absolutely brutal Microsoft monopoly. Yes, I was a diehard Redhat advocate. But then their fucking #systemD and their cringe provocative claim "Unix is dead" and deliberate #enshitification of things they don't understand. Fuck that shit. I still run embedded #minimalist operating systems that are perfectly compatible with many decades also as my full desktop to this day.
