And I don't even remember where I posted that I would contact dev1fanboy about something related to sans-dbus. I can tell that I tried (and contacted wrong Devuaner instead -- Ralph Ronquest I PM'ed, having mixed the nicknames somehow...

Hi miroR . . . I sent a short email to dev1fanboy asking him to have a look at your post..

I thought that could be done with pinning.  Search for "downgrade" on this forum and the botbot logs for irc freenode #devuan.

This post is a bit old but if you have a troublesome 'skylake' chip, this may have something relevant:

Devuan stable and Skylake (and Kaby Lake?) integrated GPU

This brings up the issue of Flatpaks as an alternative to AppImages. Is it possible to use Flatpaks and ensure that systemd stays off my system?

A two minute search found this:

Is Flatpak tied to systemd?
No. Versions of flatpak before 0.6.10 relied on systemd for cgroups setup, but this is no longer required.]

However, this is not so encouraging - guilty by association:

Its lead developer is Alex Larsson, Principal Engineer at Red Hat.

I think they took lessons from tapatalk.   Stylish will let you change all the colors.  Or just hide those elements with AdBlock Plus

Perhaps it's my warped sense of humor, but your literal and hardline stance cracks me up.

Awwwww . . . that's sweet.

I think I'll stay away from any more Buddhism stuff, because I'm not Buddhicipherous enough to know what's what. smile

You have a lot of company.  wink  Please don't take it personally . . .

Perhaps you want to move on to mushroom humor?

No need to apologize.  Most Buddhists in the West make it up as they go along.  It's really rather pathetic.  But what makes you think that TM has any relevance to yoga either?

Why do seagulls fly over the sea?

Because if they flew over the bay, they'd be bagels. tongue

I looked at this for several minutes before I realized - baygulls.  I am a diehard literalist.

What do you call a Texas Buddhist's mantra?

OM on the range.

Happy to see you finally got the TM stuff right.  big_smile

I wasn't aware that a Devuan ascii .iso existed yet. I aways install the jessie base system, upgrade it to ascii, remove obsolete packages from the upgrade, and then start building from there.

Yes, there are no official ascii isos yet but fsmithred has a few unofficial isos floating around.  I personally ran into issues with the eth0 device naming thing recently on one of those so will have to redo as an upgrade from jessie.

Hey, Miyo . . . what a great video!  Loved the music (tho a little dramatic) and your ever-present sense of humor.  i3 looks interesting.  Might try it if I weren't snowed under theming ascii etc.

Is OpenRC even available in jessie?  It has only been worked on in ascii afaik.

#2850 Re: Other Issues » Visual impairment » 2017-12-21 18:00:38

Look at KatolaZ' minimal live isos.  He worked with the speakup community to make it accessible.  This from his website:

A very special thanks goes to Gregory Nowak, Parham Doustdar, Jude DaShiell, John G Heim, Rob, and all the people in the Linux-speakup mailing list (http://www.linux-speakup.org/) for their encouragement and support, and for providing invaluable feedback about accessibility. Without their help, I couldn't have seen what was needed in order to make the minimal live images easier to use for visually-impaired users.

The isos are available from files.devuan.org.
