"We use debian, that should be age verification enough"
@eris2cats I create Icefun, a Debian variant tailored for kids.
@eris2cats There should be reminders in Debian about the need for prostate check-ups.
@rjk @eris2cats motivational motd to help you get through perimenopause
@rjk @eris2cats printf "\n\nHave you scheduled your colonoscopy yet?" >> /etc/issue.net
@eris2cats ...and we use floppy disks for boot ups.

@eris2cats

Debian? Pshaw! Try Slackware.

@eris2cats
We moved from #PoetteringOS to BSD. That's more than enough age verification.
@eris2cats 🫠 btw. /me happily running on Debian old-stable.

@eris2cats

My son (30 years old): "Dad ist using old man linux."

@Real_Tom Well he's not wrong ^^
@eris2cats We used to use Debian, that should be age verification enough.
@eris2cats Without GUI? With lynx as only browser? That would also help with the social media problem. *eg*
@eris2cats *hrumph* FreeBSD. And /bin/tcsh.
@eris2cats by the time debian updates to support it starmer will probably be out
@eris2cats Santa Cruz Operation (SCO)
@eris2cats Real #Debian oldfarts use #Devuan ...
@giggls @eris2cats I did my first Debian install in 2004, but I won’t go near Devuan, because they associate with Nazis.
@benjamineskola @eris2cats Never had a look at Devuan in the first place because I think the advantages of systemd outnumber its disadvantages.
This said I also think that the Debian Free Software Guidelines do not match right wing ideology at all.

@giggls @eris2cats Yes, I don't think the DFSG is right wing. (Though it could be more left-wing IMO.)

But Devuan has (AFAIK) intended to adopt Xlibre, a fascist project. They also link to suckless, who have some very questionable politics too (praise for free market ideology, allegations of Nazi sympathies in Germany).

@benjamineskola @eris2cats Hm Number 5 DFSG:
"No discrimination against persons or groups."
This is the opposite of right wing ideology.
@giggls @eris2cats Again, "I don't think the DFSG is right wing", so you don't have to explain to me that the DFSG is not right wing.
@benjamineskola @eris2cats Sorry, this was not meant as an explanation. I just don't understand people who think that they do match in any way.
@eris2cats @james I don't know. I first used Debian as a teen…

@eris2cats

"I have (and use) a Sun Microsystems mousepad. Do I get pensioneers' discount?"

@eris2cats I'm 2.0.32, but I still look like 2.4.0.
@eris2cats I could also store the first kernel version I ran in the GECOS field, is that sufficient?
@eris2cats I definitely did use Debian on servers way before I turned 18. How about one of those distros where the install image boots into a root shell where you have to do everything manually? :D
@eris2cats
make clean
make dep
make vmlinuz
@eris2cats @sassdawe Reminds me of when I bought a particularly piney IPA from a corner store in DC, was not carded, asked and was told nobody under 30 would drink that beer.
@eris2cats do you mean Slackware
