i last tried duo years before and it wasnt polished and i was using cell service on 3g maybe. so yeah, things are faster now. I had a meeting on google meet a few weeks ago and it looks a lot better than what duo was. back then i didnt even know duo was a google app.

i prefer zoom because i know how to fake the video feed.

Interesting - I haven't messed with Slackware since it was one of my first distros way back in the day. I've been on the Debian (and deb derivative) train for a long time now for all my servers, with arch for my personal desktops. How is the slack experience nowadays? Run into any compatibility issues? How hard is it to get support for newer software?

I've used Slack as my daily driver for 20+ years. Today's version
(15.0) is a modern and updated Linux distro. I use the XFCE desktop,
but it comes with KDE and some other minimalist DE's also. Have not had
any compatibility issues. For software which is not included with the
stock install, the main source is called "Slackbuilds", located at https://slackbuilds.org . That system gives you links to a software's
source code, and a build script (a Slackbuild), which you then just run
to create an installable package; and then you install that package.
Very simple and most all of it is the latest versions available.

I've played with a LOT of other distros over the years, and still do,
but my main stuff all runs on Slackware. Can't really imagine using
anything else, honestly.

Neat. Thanks for the writeup. I think I'll have to spin upa VM an play around with it...that's usually what I do when I want to experiment with a distro. Is it rolling release like arch?

No, it is not rolling. Major new releases are usually at least a couple
of years apart, but it is under continuous development, and "Security
fixes" are released often for whatever package needs one.

There is another "branch" of Slackware called "Current" which gets the
ongoing development new packages. There is also a "Debian apt-ish"
package available called SlackPackage, which allows you to keep up with
the Current branch with mostly-automated updates. Same idea as Debian "unstable". I haven't seriously kept up with Current, as it does tend
to have some breakage, and is more work than I'm interested in doing.

No one's spammed networks intentionally, as far as I know.
Misconfigurations or liberal configurations seem to be the culprit.

It used to be you could have some faith that things you posted on BBSes
stayed on the networks - but too many people have allowed access to
their message bases via the web and they've been crawled by Google and
other search indexes.

In all fairness, I've needed to look up a Synchronet issue that I know
was discussed, and I'll google it - even though there's a copy of the
very message I'm looking for on my system. There is some advantage.

I can confirm that most of what this bot says is true, although I am pretty sure that link is going to take you somewhere other than the local tourism bureau. :)

Also, Locust Grove is in the Louisville area, about an hour NW of
Frankfort, and I think the Mary Todd Lincoln House is actually in
Lexington, about 45 minutes SE.
