The DEC vt100 wasn't the first terminal, but it was one of the most successful early ones. And the System/36 was an early and influential IBM mainframe. #vcfmw #vcfmw19

Wow! Vintage Computer Festival Midwest is the largest vintage computer festival ever, anywhere. I've seen: old IBM System/36 mainframe (running its disk pack!), an entire analog telephone network for the show (complete with DSL), AT&T Unix workstations, CP/M, a DEC vt100, and just about every PC type you can imagine. And it was fun to fly myself to Chicago! #vcfmw #vcfmw19 1/

OK folks, #Debian developer -- and author of non-Debian FLOSS here.
All this dogpiling on volunteer developers that produce a quality distribution is unkind. And wrong.
Just because YOU don't find a use case compelling, doesn't mean NOBODY does.
Because #Debian is #stable in the sense of "remains the same from day to day", this is tremendously useful in a lot of use cases. I'm going to lay some out here. 1/
