I'm happy to see that someone involved with Peppermint is here on the Devuan forums. I wonder if you can tell me, will Peppermint ever release versions with other DEs in addition to Xfce? Specifically, Mate.

Will it ever get to the point where it just wouldn't be feasible anymore for Devuan to be based off of Debian? If it ever gets to that point, would Devuan go totally independent, or is there too few developers for that?

uBlock Origin still works for me in Chromium. Will it stop working at some point?

And left wing nuts like you.

It's just as applicable to Devuan (and any other Linux distro).

Some .deb installers, Vivaldi for an example, automatically adds its repository during the installation.

I seem to recall that when I had funky files like this in Windows, what I would do was open it up, then do a copy/paste, and paste it into a new document and save. Then discard the original. Not sure it would work for your problem or not, or if you would even have time to do it before it freezes.

The post by Rob Landley sums it up very nicely. So it seems like this change is no big deal.

Get off your high-horse. Mr. Torvalds was forced to do it. End of story. Unless you want him to go to prison or pay a hefty fine or whatever.

It always is and always will be. This is how I keep it up-to-date when a new version is released:

sudo wget https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -O /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

I check for new versions here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

If you go this route, you must totally remove the repo version first or it will get messed up, I believe.

Cups update came today.
