#Enlightenment reaches 0.27, continuing its quiet but persistent journey
An elder returns, for those still seeking it
Enlightenment is one of the granddaddies of #Linux #desktops, and after a couple of years, has a shiny new release.
First release was way back in 1997, Development Release 16 appeared in 1999, followed by a 13yr hiatus. That version, known as 0.16 or #DR16, is still maintained: it's now called #E16, and version 1.0.30 was released on August 10, 2024.

The Register · Enlightenment reaches 0.27, continuing its quiet but persistent journeyBy Liam Proven

Compilation of tales, anecdotes, koan, and principles of Zen across China and other regions. Handy for reflection, without much exposition or teaching.

It’s not lately, and the colonial era is cute.

The label “Dark Enlightenment” is itself an act of #trollsmanship (i.e. “dark” and “light”).

The neofeudalist reactionaries have recruited 1,000 oligarchs to fund a project that rolls back both the #Enlightenment and the #Renaissance.

Their idea of a good time is the sociopolitical economy of 850.

Again, the problem is not that I’m right.

The problem is normies think I’m exaggerating.

When you entered Mr. Fedell’s room, before you saw the man, you saw the swarm of books. But then, you’d find his eye contact with deep intent. A man of a thousand words, but his stare said it all. During my time with him, I read over 60 pieces of literature. But the quantities is not what’s important, it’s the thoughtfulness behind what you are reading. How it connects to both our inner workings and our outer world history.

The Creepy Weirdos™ unironically called themselves the “Dark Enlightenment” of the “Intellectual Dark Web”, and now they control the United States Federal Government.

Endarkening the #Enlightenment wasn’t an accident, or a by-product, or happenstance.

It was the strategic objective of playing a very long game.

Be serious, people.
