dear fellow dng'ers

let me bring your attention to this recent and sad message by Patrick
Volkerding, founder and maker of Slackware, a distribution we all owe
much in many different ways: knowledge, spirit, honesty and minimalism
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/donating-to-slackware-4175634729/#post5882751

it is a sad story and I encourage everyone to donate to Slackware. He
has now published this account of his https://www.paypal.me/volkerdi

the last thing we need is a systemd-free distro to disappear and
especially in this case, being Slackware. At Dyne.org we will also
consider a donation. Thanks to VUAs for bringing this to my attention.

in solidarity,

ciao
