Attention 4chan extension/user script/archive developers: Some time in the next few days, we'll be rolling out a complete HTML rewrite of the imageboards.
The design will remain the same, but the underlying HTML/CSS is completely new, and validates HTML5/CSS3 (with some tweaks to account for cross-browser compatibility).

Please visit this thread to read more about the changes, and here to preview the code.

As a regular user, these changes should not affect you. You will need to update your 4chan browser extensions/user scripts when their maintainer updates them to be compatible with the changes.
The official 4chan Chrome extension will be ready to go when the updates happen, and 4chan X should be ready soon. We'll post more details on the day of the migration!

It's rolling release. You know the consequences. That said, it practice I have not found it more unstable than any other distro though.

How so? I think they are mostly great.

Like to give an example?

Again, it's rolling release.

>>24568860
I used Debian for 10 years then switched to Slackware. I got really tired of goofy dependencies, and basically the distro maintainers deciding shit for me. Dependency-based package management eventually sinks under it's own weight IMO.
Slackware knew this at the beginning.

>>24569071
Gentoo has normal (stable), masked (unstable), and old releases of software.

For instance right now I'm going to locally mask gthumb 3.0 because it uses GTK3, which my rice doesn't support. This will allow me to roll back to gthumb 2.x. Arch cannot do this.

>>	Anonymous 04/30/12(Mon)21:43 No.24569121 So you don't use any programs in your terminal? What's the point? You basically can't do anything but run bash over and over again.

>Not using *BSD

No wonder why you Linuxfags get fucking shit on so badly. The only shitty arguments you come up for supporting Linux are better done in *BSD yet you're too busy being hipsters to even realize it.

Just admit that people don't give a flying fuck about your shitty backwards OS and that it fails in any aspect you can think of other than reminding others where not to fuck up.
