I miss KDE Telepathy, and the Empathy framework, and that dream that we could have had IM fully and seamlessly integrated in our desktop environments.
Fuck Whatsapp. Fuck Microsoft. Fuck Zuckerberg. Mainstream IM of today is complete shit.
"A Windows themed Linux distribution" can't really be "Windows themed" without some closed-source blobs and maybe even some backdoors sparkled here and there
Sounds like it's time to get an IDE adaptor and try to recover something from my old drives
This made me remember that one time several years ago when I was wondering if there was any way to change that font and learned there was some sort of service that allowed you to do that in boot time, but the downside was that there was some sort of what it's known at frontend web development as "FOUT" (flash of unstyled text) and you could avoid that by converting your .pcf font to C code and patch it into the kernel code, but at that point I gave up.
Pretty sure there should be some nonprofit that will gladly get and assemble them so i.e. children on remote places can have a computer.
Uhm, what?
Wayland has been in the works for more than a decade. Granted, there's some people having issues with it, with propietary hardware (nVidia) and not-so-common setups like two monitors, but it happens that they are the most noisy. For the rest of us it's been great, stable, and feels snappier than X.
If you want to talk about shoehorning stuff into Debian, talk about systemd.
Slim, stripped of unneeded documentation and files (including National Language Support; CRUX only supports the native language the programs were written in, which is english in most cases)
I'm positive about cutting unnecessary stuff, but imho that's a bit too much (I mean for us non native english speakers, or at least those not learning english)
Settings -> View -> Details -> Uncheck "expansible folders" (not sure how it's labelled in english). That column won't appear anymore
I suppose it's like asking a biologist what type of dishes would they do with a plant species they just discovered
The maintainer of X11Libre, Enrico Weigelt, is an anti-vaxer who already got scolded by Torvalds for writing bullshit on the kernel mailing list
Oh, so it's him. Dude got absolutely lucky Linus is on mild mode nowadays. On his prime the scold would've been of such epic proportions all the viruses he could have on his body would've leave him out of pure cringe.
Wonder what type of oil his ancestors were using in their cars to do teaching lessons
Looking forward for the external monitor support. The fact they have got this far is amazing.
