Human derived "celebrations" are useless, inconsequential and delusional and bind us to fantasies and the narratives de jour ( or try to).

@Dutch_Master . . . Here you go!

LOL! So much for my short term memory. There is just too much nonsense on Devuan channels to remember the specifics. Add to that zapper's over-active imagination and erroneous assumptions and . . . it's off to la-la land!

FYI . . . I notified the user in question by email. The content was crude, out of line and irrelevant. Perhaps too much beer was in charge?

I also correct spelling to improve search results.  "Deadalus" has required many such corrections and I add code tags when missing but not always because it happens way too often. No notifications for doing that. Just hoping the user will pickup on it.

That level of detail might be more suited to a personal blog over which you have complete control and also might reach a wider audience.

As to alterations to tidy things up . . . that would be something for ralph.ronnquist to take on if he chooses.  I havem't poked the backend of this forum in a very long time . . .

Spell "chimera" properly as "chimaera" and see if it makes a difference?

The winter solstice was a few says ago. That is something ALL of us can celebrate. Let there be light!    . .

Indeed! Winter solstice is happening right now. Will make it to US tomorrow morning. Rejoice that at least some things in the universe are predictable . . .

@Altoid . . . You are definitely the grand-master of much ado about nothing and the point of your latest effort completely escapes me.  Plonk . . .

Well done, greenjeans!!

The answer to your kind offer is a bit complicated . . .

About a year ago I put together a wallpaper mock-up for the excalibur color palette titled "deathmetal"* with which you seem to be familiar. Problem is that at 82, I don't have it in me to do another full theme as there are just too many moving parts with possible changes in gtk3 etc to deal with. I am also still on chimaera where life is comfortable and predictable.

Sooooo . . . I put out a call for someone to take over a while ago. A few poked at it but no one stepped up to take it on.

We discussed what to do and decided to just keep the Daedalus theme for Excalibur as we have more important tasks needing attention.

That being said . . . if anyone has an interest to take on the task, please do get in touch.

* deathmetal is a visual commentary across centuries on the darkness of war with a touch of gangrene and/or the matrix. Note that it needs to be viewed full-screen as any brightness kills the subtle palette.

Nothing lasts for long these days . . . except for human stupidity.  You can always count on that especially from those on top of the food chain. It seems that stability is not very profitable . . .
