Problems Linux itself has to overcome? Maybe two or three.

  • Hopefully I'm mistaken but apparently accessibility has been going down the last few years.
  • Settings that make sense to change should be exposed more adequately. No one should ever get a visual toggle to eg.: disable SELinux on their systray, but controls to adjust color profiles and screen "temperature" management should be more reachable and clear.

Problems that are mistakenly attributed to Linux but that are actually for manufacturers, sellers and provisioners to take responsibility for and overcome? A good lot.

  • Sellers have to sell machines with Linux preinstalled. Getting a machine Linux-ready from factory is easy, but it's only the commerces who can actually place them on a, ta know, selling point.
  • Sellers or manufacturers should actually advertise when their device works with Linux. If people have to guess whether their next buy even boots / plugs in, that's a hindrance to commerce.
  • Hardware manufacturers are not providing adequate Linux support (FizzyOrange mentions the eternal issue of laptop battery management; Naiboftabr mentions stuff like "audio stops working").
  • Developers have to get back to developing for Linux natively (rather than eg.: "develop for a trimmed down Windows version that runs on Steam").
  • Developers of Linux itself need to provide a better "rescue mode" for when things inevitably go wrong. Something that boots up to a "guaranteed working state" that still has workable UI but with most or all customizations disabled.

But that would imply that Python is faster than the one in this comic!

This can't be C++. Not enough stacks of unneeded template names, and the function names are not mangled beyond recognition.

Basically as the title says.

I'd like to know what is there on selfhosted solutions if people are using any, to keep tabs on stuff for managing projects. But - here's the thing, I want a thing to help take notes, not a thing that's gonna "make decisions" / "suggest a business plan".

So, basically I'm looking for something self-hosted that incorporates things like (manual!) man-hours tracking, gantt charts, kanban and other organizative diagrams, general (ie.: not "code-oriented") issue tracker.

Ideally to be deployed as an assiatnce to keep track of stuff on a small shop operating a force of 8~12 devs. Me and one other person want to help shield our devs from clients as the company is starying to grow more, enough that asking the devs for hard data on how they are managing themselves (to know if there's room for another project or if overtime is needed, for example) is starting to deprive them of actual devel time. We want to avoid reaching the stage of meetings that could have been emails.

Thanks in advance. Suggestions are welcome, we do have enough time to test a few alternatives before settling on one we just don't know what exists out there that is not "sign in on Github".

Uuuuuh that's not the way to fight an addiction, right? Who is this person working for, exactly?

Okay lemme understand it.

"Terrorism" is defined as using violent means to scare or suppress the population.

But what he did made the population happy.

So... shouldn't it be considered that he provided a public service?

Well, what’s stopping someone else from adopting TomHanks@Lemm.ee?

There's over 1400 people solely in the US named Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks The Celebrity does not get patent rights or trademarks or copyrights on the name.

Wanna know which is the Tom Hanks The Celebrity? Check if their profile is authenticated against their personal website, à-la-Mastodon.

Storm in a teacup, as tends to be the norm on the internet.

Not only this is nothing new and nothing unexpected to happen in Sid of all places, but it's also something that helps bring keepassxc more in line with packaging guidelines on Debian. They already have lots of packages, both of the mutually-exclusive kind and of the complementary kind, with "foo-full", "foo-minimal", "foo-data" etc naming. p7zip and nginx of all things are quite interesting examples.

Plus, the author of the post sensationalizes the title to brigade the issue.

All that said:

  • If the maintainer wishes to do this, "only" having two packages is a half-assed measure and that causes more issues in the long term. I'd expect three packages: keepassxc-minimal, keepassxc-full and the retained name keepassxc as a virtual package name.
  • Furthermore, a direct upgrade path should go from (previous) keepassxc to (proposed) keepassxc-full.
  • I don't know enough of KeePassXC to know if something like keepassxc-data would be needed. Are there potential cases where one would want to switch between "-full" and "-minimal" or viceversa without the system seeing a software uninstallation in the meantime?
  • The "crap" rationale is definitively something we all can do without, but given how people tend to brigade developers who try to do things, I can completely understand and support raising shields and looking defensive because some damage is already going to be done.
  • Most responses are right in that the right place to discuss this is in the opened Debian bug report. The entire point is to see Debian (not KeepassXC) handle this before things get to Next Stable.

Germany never really stopped being a nazi country, did it?

Hey everyone I was wondering how do you spice up your cursors, icons, themes, etc., In particular for desktop environments such as XFCE, Mate. Are there any good repositories to use?

I've taken a look at a number of apparently cloned sites like "xfce-look.org", "kde-look.org", "gnome-look.org", but while they seem to show a wide offering of themes, it seems downloading from them is blocked via uBO since it reports a "fp2" fingerprinting script without which apparently downloads are not enabled. Are those sites trustworthy? They seem to be associated to a "OpenDesktop" initiative of which the only reputation I can find is that they were added to EasyList Privacy blocklist.

If there are other alternative hubs or repos from which to theme a distro (as agnostically as posisble) that'd be welcome info.

Cheers. Thanks. Et cetera.

As much as Germany denies it, it has been proven in the last 10 or so years that they really loved their nazi days. France seems to also love having been under nazi occupation too, and they seem to have a similar anti-environmentalist attitude.
