IIRC this was DR16 as 17 was too unstable still. Enlightenment was absolutely the most gorgeous WM at the time, no contest.

Cheers to Patrick Volkerding for dedicating his life to maintaining Slackware.
I’ve been using Slackware since 1995. Here’s my 1999 system running Slackware 98 with Enlightenment Window Manager running Loki Civilization Call to Power

comador @lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•What are the most in-demand Tech Skills? (besides AI)English7·7 days agoIT Manager here. You’ll probably get a hundred different answers to this as it sincerely depends on the industry.
I currently see a lot of need for the following in SLED (State, Local, Education), but again, this is just one of many industries:
Python, SQL, PL/SQL, RUST, automation (ansible/chef/puppet), powershell, cyber security related and cloud related stuff.

Anything that can aide in the diagnosis and treatment of patients is a good thing, even if it’s AI.
Source: I am in IT and my wife’s two siblings are a general practitioner doctor and an otolaryngologist (Ear Nose Throat Specialist). There’s not much difference between being a systems administrator and a doctor in many ways.

I worked for a VAR with NASA and DHS contracts. Bad hard drives were bashed with a sledge like this before the top plate was sent to the manufacturer for RMA.

Yes, some multi monitor configurations work, yes, yours might work just fine, but there’s plenty of recent posts on kde.org forums showing the issue is far from isolated.
comador @lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup)English710·2 months agoBecause it is bullshit lol.
Wireless efficiency is around 70%-75% max with something like that; EMF and RMF issues abound in any configuration without shielding, which this one has none of. I am surprised anything works.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m not willing to pay a 30% higher electrical bill for something like this.
The ink costs for the E1 are already outrageously priced at $299 for a 600ml pack.
Not sure if tariffs on Chinese goods apply, but it can only go up from there.
Hard pass.

I was just trying to offer a solution, damn, ease up
comador @lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own appEnglish48·2 months agoMy solution: vmware fusion or virtualbox with windows installed on a vm and running winamp with passthrough audio.
comador @lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture warsEnglish1·3 months agoI always get downvoted for saying it, but I don’t care because the real water savings never came from stupid showers: It comes from not growing crops in the damned desert; it comes from not growing grass on lawns in arid environments; it comes from not raising so many cattle.
Most low flow shower heads have a plastic insert in them called a restrictor that can be removed to make it work like the high flow ones.
It’s nothing more than a small cylinder that can be pushed or pulled out from the shower line and manufacturers use these restrictors because it allows them to sell the same unit in multiple markets.
EDIT: Forgot to add water savings reasons.
Welp, it was fun while it lasted…
Now all international travelers will have to go back to the early 00s method of buying burner phones and calling cards to be able to make a call.
