Some companies made money from some clueless managers and CEOs.

I worked at a big power and light company, some big boss at the headquarters hired a company to certify our pcs where y2k compliant (we already knew they were ok!).

A guy around 50 with suit and two younger technicians, around their twentys. I was behind them when when they sat down at every pc in our office, inserted a floppy disk, and ran a freeware software! A freeware that anyone could download from internet.

Of course the software printed on the screen that those pc where y2k compliant.

That company charged a fee for every certified pc, and we had lots of pcs.

I have been a Linux user since 2000.

All your chat is about technical issues, and both sides allways talk about the technical pros and cons of each system.

But i remember reading when debian team changed to systemd the arguments included these: 1- now Linux works like Windows and we do not like it. 2- now all depends on the systemd team, while init gives more freedom, so started devuan. 3- init and systemd can do the same but...here all the technical blah blah. By the way, if devuan exists and works well... 4- last and not least, systemd lets lock out the system (distro).

I am not an IT guy, just an user...so an ignorant. My questions: are those statements still valid or wrong? Even today the number 4 gets mi confused, it is, or was, a real reason?

Sorry my wording, my first language is not English.

I use the same since, at least, version 6. It helps with lots of problems.

Is this sarcasm?

Guess they deserved it because were too subtle in naming.

I did not know that. Well, in that case there are few distros supported bye gov's.

Was not Ubuntu the south África flavor?

Too many reasons, and most of them wrong.

The background tree is weird...i vote AI generated, and war propaganda, do not like it.

At least three...¯(ツ)/¯

There was a time when Hewlet Packard products were the best, them it became HP and...

What about evaluations on those nuts already INSIDE?

Actual news of current affairs are not like history, i mean, "Riefenstahl films" is too much.

Nobody can be impartial, just more or less honest. News outlets represent different interests and you should think of this while getting information, that is all. They try to drag you in what they want you to believe in.

Any person can follow an issue from two or three opposite sides and track the development of the subject and take a more or less rational position. Refusing even hear arguments from one side could be a mistake.

I did not say impartial, just rational.

Ok, It is your bot...

It is your bot, your time and your effort, it is yo to you.

And the others (AP, AFP, BBC, etc) are not propaganda?

Everybody ought to read, watch and listen all sides and THINK and take his/her position.

Something that www.others-news.info does very well, they post all sides. Mainly those articles hidden by the Big ones.

That was just luck, usually it is not so clean.

Cartagena has old buildings like these houses and it is too a caribean city, like this in Venezuela.

Maybe the windows, those are old houses.
