@kirby @kirby @p > the new code

I wasn't aware there was a new code, like I don't think there's been a new ANSI terminal spec in the past 40 years and emulating a VT100 isn't very hard and xterm does it fine for my purposes.

Debian and Ubuntu and Arch the like do that a lot and it's the reason a ton of shit either only works on debian or doesn't work at all on debian because they fuck around with the source in a way that shit becomes unreproducible. Slackware doesn't change the source of anything at all, not even the kernel; so you get this strange grey zone where if something works at all like the way it's supposed to it will at least work on Slackware. All my stuff works on Slackware, and the brief periods of time where I used debian deriviatives the only memories that stick out was shit not working ever.
