@ribcage . . . Thank you for sharing your solutions and reminding me that I should install gnome-system-tools. Haven't had a need but good to have it there if/when the need arises . . .

Adding this on Amanpour & Co. yesterday to the discussion:
Fmr. Google CEO Eric Schmidt on the AI Revolution
"Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. How it is being applied—and, perhaps more importantly, regulated—are now the crucial questions to ask. Walter Isaacson speaks with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt about A.I.’s impact on life, politics, and warfare, as well as what can be done to keep it under control."

The genie is already out of the bottle but at least the MSM finally caught up with it . . .

"Artificial intelligence has developed rapidly in recent years, stoking concerns that the technology is being released too quickly and without enough testing. Lester Holt speaks with Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin, co-founders of the Center for Humane Technology, about the dangers of developing AI without regulation."
It is a good time to be old . . .

"tuxd3v" is a forum user from Portugal but I haven't seen him for a while. If you could track him down or maybe send him an email from this forum, he might be able to help you sort your keyboard issues.

Oh yes! I saw that and smiled. I am a seasoned apple basher. So is Eben Moglen. This gem from 2012:

Thanks for that, Altoid! Made my day!!

@MrReplikant:
1. It is really not necessary to quote when the post being responded to is immediately previous to the response and visible on the screen.
2. "@whoever" works really well as an alternative.
3. Or just copy short passages to which you'd like to respond
Now, if we're done being petty . . . ?
Really?! You can go stand in a corner now . . .
#983 Re: Off-topic » Freedombox is on the list of banned packages, what to do? » 2023-03-15 20:19:49
Anyhow, this is off topic.....
Not really . . . it is a sloppy habit that wastes Devuan bits. What has happened to "less is more"??

@andyprough
@head-on-a-stickThoughts?
You will both love it if it remains there long enough.
Haven't you noticed that the forum has been wonderfully "normal" lately? HoaS hasn't logged in since 2023-02-14 . . .
#986 Re: Other Issues » Is there a good way to install Inkscape 1.2.2? » 2023-03-06 18:13:21
Flatpak doesn't really resonate much with Devuan users for any number of reasons . . .

So it's supposed to be like this? It looks like a bug.
It is what it is and has been since 2016 or so . . .
As I explained, there are ways to get the information you seek without incurring the extra count. Pick one and be happy.
#988 Re: Documentation » serial console - full disk encryption » 2023-03-05 21:52:21
Welcome to Devuan . . . could you please not post line-formatted text to the forum? The forum messages are a fixed width and it causes ugly line breaks. You should be able to go in and edit your post to get rid of them . . . Thanks!
#989 Re: Forum Feedback » The view count is replenished every time I open my topic » 2023-03-04 18:12:45
Yes, that's the way it works. That won't happen if you go to the page where all topics for that forum are listed. You can also subscribe to your post and it will send an email when there is a response.
#990 Re: DIY » Regarding making cronie jobs, » 2023-03-04 02:16:38
Now there's an answer!
#991 Re: DIY » Regarding making cronie jobs, » 2023-03-04 00:51:08
I ask because, isn't /etc/rc.local a sysvinit function?
IIRC, openrc uses the sysvinit scripts.
#992 Re: DIY » A Survey of User-made Content » 2023-03-01 15:40:40
I have gkrellm installed from the Devuan repos so why does it need to be added to this repo?

I'm pretty sure that a few people in this very forum still do. And I'm one of those
Indeed . . . devuan.org was crafted from scratch by hellekin. It has gone through some changes but that code is mostly still in use and I always created my sites in a text editor too.
[edit] There was a time when exploring the creative possibilities of html and css was a "thing":
The only rule is:
"You may modify the style sheet in any way you wish, but not the HTML."
Do take a tour through their gallery . . . though it seems a bit broken atm . . .
[edit2] Another interesting option to add to a site created in a text editor is Flat Press which use to be an no-database version of wordpress. Have no idea where it's gone since I last used it.
Sorry for the OT, folks . . .

Do you know about Project Gemini? Produces sane web pages . . .

Well done and much appreciated!!

Or possibly a "recommends" thing?

#998 Re: ARM Builds » [SOLVED] Have been arm images dimissed? » 2023-02-14 18:03:05
Arm images are provided by the Devuan Arm community. They are not and never have been "officially" supported by Devuan.
#999 Re: News & Announcements » Non GNU Linux Chimera » 2023-02-14 00:19:21
Well, before long Chimaera will be old stable then fade into history so it probably won't affect us that much. Some folks searching on the other spelling could even end up here which isn't a bad thing . . .
#1000 Re: Off-topic » Out of respect... » 2023-02-12 16:52:24
There is 358 views on this thread, how many of the readers have any clue of what is this all about? Such personal conflicts really do not belong here.
I totally agree that what has unfolded recently is completely inappropriate but we have no control over who walks through the door . . ..
There's another open source project born out of a need to fight a common cause where the participants are infighting and making themselves look stupid.
blackhole is an outside agitator/abuser with no ties to the Devuan project who has had a personal vendetta against me personally for a very long time. The choice is letting him spout his nonsense or having him accuse this forum and me specifically of censorship and who knows what else.
I'm just a silent lurker who had to chime in.
Your feedback is appreciated and I sincerely apologize. I think that this is a good thought on which to close this thread.
