Hello guys! This is my first topic in this forum! My focused interest in old and classic Linux began in 2021 when the kernel turned 30 years old and I’m looking for the KDE spin of the 0.6.2 version of Shift Linux because it came with the initial release of KDE 4.0 which is 4.0.0 although I haven’t used Shift Linux in my entire life! The reasons I was doing this topic are because it was the Linux distribution created by the Neowin community and because I’m looking for alpha, beta and/or final releases of Linux distributions that came with the initial versions of major releases of either GNOME or KDE! If you still have a download link of what I said, thank you!

Dude, don't live in the past. There's a lot of security patches that they fix daily.. Get with Arch, and get the coolest new stuff. Manjaro might be a good start for you.

Hi,

 

As the project manager of Shift Linux, I am not sure that we still have this on our servers, @DaveLegg hosted it for us, as I remember. Hopefully he will let us know. The Shift team loved working to put out these distros. Thanks for asking!

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
