“In the name of the Lord,” humanity has killed more people than for other reasons

I agree with the poster that responded to you, but I should also add, people take many things out of context beyond just religion.

Whether something is good or not, is not how its used, its the purpose and intention behind it.

Love is the most important commandment in the bible. However, when they speak of love, its not romantic love purely or conditional love either. It's a goal to be unconditionally love.

Sources? Jesus says that is the most important commandment in the bible.

I had a reality check recently, it seems, the climate might not die in the near future, to the point where humans all die at once at least if I consult the God I claim to serve from the Bible.

This being said, every attempt to do things the easy way, don't rock the boat of the powerful type vibe, will always have consequences.

If people try to prevent rocking the boat, the best thing to do is not to surrender to those type of people, the powerful/rich.

Its better to have to hear their cries and screams then to give them what they want.

I avoid non-organic stuff that much is something I do that is useful on this issue.

I block ads as much as possible also with regard to the data center issue I mention elsewhere.

Ads very often have spyware behind them.

Yes, I do rant too much, I guess I just get frustrated by the stupidity of my fellow human willing to surrender to google and microsoft completely and the foods that are the crappiest, etc...

I watch videos to learn something, not get outraged about how left/right/upside-down the presenter is.
This obsession with putting people in little "political affiliation" boxes and discarding information from outgroups is extremely tiring, and I'll have no part of it.

I mostly get annoyed by him because he uses made up concepts like BASED which means absolutely nothing of value and his stupid pictures that mean nothing of value as well.

But that being said,

I am at least glad to hear he does something of value.

Corporations, Corporations, Corporations!

The enemy never seems to change much. I would love some of these clowns to face justice on the same level of all their victims combined.

Let them choke on the crap they have been throwing at the world. Force them to have to enhale all the greenhouse gases, the crappy food and being surveiled so much that no one leaves them alone.  Same with the politicans. 

If they don't face this hell now, they will regret it later. This world's hell is just a taste of what they deserve.

For their sakes, they would be better served facing the flames of their evil now.

I say this for all the rich assholes who make money at the expense of the world using the cheapest most short term moneymakers possible.

Especially when long term moneymakers are likely to exist too.

Its just a greed cycle tho.

They want to feel good about themselves by hoarding money. Just to feed their damn egos...

Aye... madness.

They really need to do two things, make deceptive tactics from mega corporations/corporations illegal and rock the boat so much that those entities can't poison the world with their evil ideals. I have said many times, what I think this throwaway culture, this don't give a crap ideology unless it hurts our bottom line stuff, so I don't think I need to tell you what I think this leads to.

Golinux might have a fit with me if I do.

This being said, I choose organic as much as I can, unless its seafood and then I try to get wild. Not that I don't like venison. wink

Wild meat is usually best, as long as it is inspected properly. smile

I tried devuan's newest stable, its really a tricky thing to deal with.

I don't recommend switching to it if you expect to use synaptic without problems.

Wayland crap gets in the way preventing sudo synaptic.

Very irritating I must say.

Well you aren't the first person to drive me nuts today, so its forgivable I guess.

Nor are you the worst...

My behaviour mostly didn't change because I hadn't known how to properly.

The mid key highlight was something I was oblivious to/didn't think about. Some places I did, this wasn't one of them. Go figure, my mind has been in a weird place lately.

EDIT: Just as an add, sometimes I have been lost inside or my memory screws itself up. Its only a few years ago, I learned of a tragic issue. And that's about it.

Probably best to get back on topic though, right?

When I brought up that stuff up about systemd and other linux frameworks, I considered it similar problems. Hence me bringing it up.

The worst is dbus though.

Escaping that mess is a hell on linux.

That's why my main distro is making a fork of OpenBSD instead of continuing the dying linux leanness trend.

#412 Re: Off-topic » make desktop looks like windows 11 » 2023-11-29 02:17:32

To me this is the last time KDE probably looked good:

To me this is when Gnome last looked good:

XFCE:

I could go on and on, but I haven't used those, obviously due to getting into linux too late, but they do look nice. In my mind today, those are the last ones that looked good.

Fisher price eye candy desktop managers are ugly

Are you volunteering to take on that task? big_smile

Resources in addition to this forum include:Are you volunteering to take on that task? big_smile

That depends, I usually don't use devuan, its more like a backup for me. Also, I know barely any coding, due to what some might call "laziness"

I usually learn what I think I need to accomplish what I want unless it drains me too much.

PS, I think I learned how to quote a small amount just now instead of the whole post.

middle key after highlighting what I want to quote, seems to do the job.

No one told me this, otherwise I would have sooner, to avoid the pointless jabs at my whole quoting.

I don't like being jabbed at, lecture, or shouted at.

If its in all caps, especially.

I don't really code even for my usual OS, Hyperbola. That should say how much coding can be a drain on me.

Although, sometimes I can make small changes to pkgbuilds at least. Thanks to them being plain text written in a language format that you can open with text editors. Not sure if you can with .deb packages.

By the way. that was one intense reply. That's usually not you.

Kind of irks me, I sometimes have had a short temper. There is no need to try and start a flame war with me.  I am sure you don't see it this way, but I see it this way.

This being said,  I guess I do rant a lot. I wouldn't say I do it that often though, given I am not on devuan forums that often as a whole. When I do, sure, but its not that often. This being said, I am hardly the only one who does this.

However Doing something probably would help if I knew how/what

The dumbing down of interfaces and infantilisation of users is a trend that needs to stop.

It concentrates power at the top which is the whole point of infantilizing users.

The fisher price eye candy approach, needs to die and be replaced with the idea of, making it more intelligently designed even if its harder for users to use. Although, do it gradually.

Otherwise, users are stupid moronic children that can be mass manipulated on a huge scale like microsoft is doing to their users.

I detest the new firefox for this reason and all that horsecrap systemd, dbus, pulseaudio, pipewire and their dependants. Not to mention rust, java and other bloated overengineered garbage.

If I want to uninstall stuff that doesn't need to be a dependant and isn't being used, I should be able to do it without taking the whole thing off.

Debian = F*** YOU! We will do what we want no matter how stupid it is and how ugly and bloated it is.

Redhat = The above times a million!

EDIT:

I knew this was true!

*To accommodate for its scheme, the PID 1 program grew by a factor of 23.9 in disk-space and 3.2 in memory footprint; this technique of increased hardware requirements is one that Microsoft also uses for their Windows platform so as to please manufacturers and ensure continued sales of new hardware. *

Microsoft are a bunch of assholes, I had a feeling they were trying to coerce people to buy new hardware to please manufacturers. Why am I not surprised...

What a pile of horse crap. They must really want to increase the destruction of the planet by planned obsolescence which leads to a hardware graveyard increase.

Damn short-sighted idiots...

#417 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Alternative browser for Devuan/Debian - Brave » 2023-11-28 19:49:59

Iceweasel-uxp, for me, no dbus required!  But you do need patches to build it currently, which I have. But that takes a few hours. wink

As for the alternative, go palemoon or basilisk-browser.

The forum has instructions on how to deal with the discourse problem too and SOME other problematic blockade websites.

All the other websites are bloat, ugly and/or insecure in design.  Why else would google not block them but in fact try to get in the way of uxp with their stupid useragent sniffers?

Answer = google is a pile of a dodo but also they can exploit the newer ones much easier.

Logitech, the battery is charged, it works on Hyperbola as I said above, but not devuan.

Although, lsusb isn't available either... which is weird.

I have a usb wireless mouse for specific purposes, but it refuses to start on devuan. I wondered, if someone could give me a bunch of ways to do so.

I have yet to get it working. Its possible that debian did something stupid that makes this complicated... idk.

I have no problem on Hyperbola with this issue, its just annoying as can be on devuan though.

What packages typically does it require to get a usb mouse working such as M650 L LEFT?

Do i need to modprobe something? I am using openrc, so if you have sysvinit ideas, adapt them please.

#424 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Firefox no sound. » 2023-11-09 21:18:47

The fact that firefox requires pulseaudio, for sound is yet another sign their current web browser is crap.

I been using uxp web browsers again for this  reason alone.

Not to mention, firefox is an ugly monster since 57+

The old UI looked fine, the new one is fisher price eye candy.

But I digress, apulse as was said, does help you to bypass this problem.

I don't know if you can use firejail with apulse though and still load it though.

#425 Re: Devuan » The insanity continues... BSOD coming to a systemd near you? » 2023-11-09 21:15:45

steve, most things redhat makes are on that level... I kid you not. dbus, is the hardest to remove that I know of.

Point being, the problems started before systemd even was conceived. I have learned this by web searches, chats, research, info, etc...

the fact that so many things depend on dbus and other irrelevant dependencies when better options exist, yet people choose to use these...

I mean dbus fingerprints your hardware id! What possible reason does this make any sense?

Aiye...

then there is pulseaudio, pipewire, avahi, etc...

Even if you don't use those programs, their libraries are still required to install most things on mainstream distros, even if the programs work without them just fine.

Devuan though not mainstream still has some of this.

Dependencies should always be required ones that are needed to make it function. If dependencies required is anything more than that, its a freedom breaker. Its the devs way of saying, "We want you to use this!"

Why should they have a say? Answer: They shouldn't.

I guess K.I.S.S has been abandoned by mainstream distros and even some derivatives.

Archlinux being the biggest hypocrite of the bunch...
