@pl just like steve-v, you are full of it.

You are missing the point.

They could at least do this:

You have proven btw, pl that you are a knucklehead yourself.

#302 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-19 21:49:20

@aluma that is bizzare, I only could get mullvad vpn to show up... weird.

#303 Re: Freedom Hacks » Frustration with Mullvad » 2024-07-19 21:48:26

@steve_v

Actually, what I expect is to at least have the librewolf approach.

https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/

Compare and you will understand better.

@aluma in any case, I see it differently than you both.  Btw,  more on topic, AI is a bad idea for these corporate giants to seek:

https://disconnect.blog/generative-ai-i … -disaster/

This is a good reason to tell Bill Gates and other rich a-holes to bleep off and humble themselves till they realize how insignificant they really are,

And that is putting it mildly, they should be in jail for all the corrupt stuff they do surveillance -wise at minimum. but its much worse than just that solely.

In any case, that's all I  have to say at minimum.

#306 Re: Other Issues » Chromium wonky for anybody else? » 2024-07-12 06:57:32

@stopai did you see what I wrote after that?

I clearly wrote Microsoft Edge, slimjet and Vivladi.

#307 Re: Other Issues » Chromium wonky for anybody else? » 2024-07-05 02:46:08

Only thing I can say, is if you have to trust Chromium or some more proprietary version, such as Microsoft Edge or Vivaldi or slimjet.

Always go for the most open source one.

Proprietary is a lock hidden by obscurity.

IE it doesn't work too well.

I detest the whole Chromium empire though in general.

Badwolf web browser and UXP based web browser both are the only ones worth anything.

#308 Re: Other Issues » Chromium wonky for anybody else? » 2024-07-03 18:39:41

Chromium... sigh people use that... its not exactly good regarding leaks. Firefox at its best leaks less.

#309 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Mouse no longer works after update » 2024-07-01 05:49:18

UPDATE:

I tried removing:

Also upgraded the below:

firefox-esr
Iall qemu stuff and linux-libre-lts and winehq-staging stuff.

I rebooted and things were fine and then I removed libreoffice and upgraded openrc and bingo:

I got the same problem again.

Btw, I have a snapshot qcow2 image of the last time it worked.

I now think openrc has been screwed up somehow...

Sigh... very annoying.

#310 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Huge upgrade this morning ... » 2024-07-01 05:18:04

@Altoid yeah... I wonder which of those packages it is. Very strange...

I updated more of them and I see that they still work,  but I will have to give you more details probably.

EDIT:

Refer to this link:

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=6700

Same topic I am mentioning, but yeah.

Weird stuff.

#311 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Huge upgrade this morning ... » 2024-07-01 01:29:36

@GlennW mine is a usb dongle though. I have a Logitech M510 and also one other one as well, both don't work after I do the latest updates.

Its kind of annoying, because I don't know how to downgrade the packages needed to fix my problem.

I uploaded a picture of  the packages that I was about to update, because this happened one other time.

https://upload.disroot.org/r/54sJQDA0#J … IkqA1GsIs=

Anyone know which of these packages I need to downgrade?

I cannot seem to get my wireless mice working after I upgrade from here.

My mouse is a logitech M510. its a usb dongle wireless mouse. It doesn't use bluetooth.

#313 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Huge upgrade this morning ... » 2024-06-30 23:08:33

Speaking of huge upgrade, I can't seem to get my mouse working with the most recent upgrades... again.

https://upload.disroot.org/r/54sJQDA0#J … IkqA1GsIs=

This is the packages I updated.  Once I do this, I poweroff computer and reboot and wireless mouse no longer works.

#314 Re: Off-topic » AI Safety » 2024-06-30 01:27:16

@aluma My understanding is that pride is an unhealthy confidence  very often in one's self or someone one praises. Possibly in a thing as well.

Thou Shalt not steal however feels more like a warning against greed.

Just my two cents on that.

Pretty sure you shall have no other Gods before me is  a warning against pride.

But either way, when you think only whar you think matters the most or is important despite other prods, hints or evidence, that is foolish.

I have done that many times in the past.

Do not repeat if possible.  Always fight that kind of thinking. That's how humans escape the worst of it.

Otherwise, you become a megalomaniac at best, at worst who knows.

Btw, wasn't intending to take this into a religious discussion.

@golinux +100 especially to the arrogant part.

Why else do people hoard insane amounts of wealth endlessly even when they are already billionaires or more?

They clearly have all the power they could already need at that point.

Yes, its that pride syndrome.

Arrogance is always what happens when confidence is unbalanced in one way or another.

I sadly have learned this in my own life after a few decades or more.

Btw, I won't deny I don't have problems with pride myself. I have had many in my life.

Took me a few decades to learn that lol.

How sad is that?

If my confidence is in an unhealthy place I will make many more mistakes than if I kept that part of me in check. Although I still would* make plenty even then.

typo again! annoying lol

wink

A bunch of edits because forgot to say a few things.

@quickfur I would be interested in knowing how many % of t *those* jokes are your own. More than half of the ones I posted are ones I remember hearing somewhere. The rest I came up with on my own.'

#318 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Fujitsu Lifebook U728 + Devuan 4 » 2024-06-29 07:13:55

@nahkhiirmees did you do an advanced install or a regular one?

I never do advanced installs and I never have your problem. Although, its possible I am missing something.

#319 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-06-29 07:12:14

@quickfur The blacksmith joke was brilliant... you probably have others I missed, but you make so many, I have to wonder where you get them all from.

Either you have a natural talent, or you look them up online and put them on here or a mixture.

tongue

I tend to think not the 2nd option. Either the first option or both makes sense to me.

#320 Re: Off-topic » AI Safety » 2024-06-29 07:09:02

@golinux Personally think its pride, greed and laziness.  It takes pride to think that you can do anything without consequences that are a problem. It takes greed as you say due to they thin it will make them rich and laziness, because they think they won't need to do nearly as much work once they have gotten it far enough.

Yes they put out work initially, but its so they can be majorly lazy in the future.

Harm comes one way or another.

#321 Re: Off-topic » Firefox is becoming too chrome like. » 2024-06-29 07:04:25

@JWM-Kit assuming you can trick FB into believing your using something else.

I am not entirely certain if that's possible. I am more than 75% sure FB is playing a game though by claiming firefox won't work.

#322 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Fujitsu Lifebook U728 + Devuan 4 » 2024-06-24 21:56:06

UEFI is a glorified backdoor as it is now.

EFI might have been too, but UEFI is way more vulnerable.

Sad to say, but corporations be dumbasses.

#323 Re: Off-topic » Music » 2024-06-24 21:50:22

@soren dark ambient is my thing. DOOM DOOM2 are good examples of this.

These songs creep me out but I still  enjoy them a lot. Btw, this first track makes me think of "You don't know where you will be attacked from, be on guard on all sides"

https://invidious.materialio.us/watch?v=8G_f6LCwmsE

This one makes me think of "this is only the beginning"
https://invidious.materialio.us/watch?v=ffl2ShaWyGM

This one I literally thought subconsciously, when I heard this, "I CANT GET OUT!"

https://invidious.materialio.us/watch?v=rLvSD5HuIcE

My three favourite doom tracks!

#324 Re: Off-topic » Firefox is becoming too chrome like. » 2024-06-24 21:46:01

@aluma and I doubt its because firefox is not capable of running it.

Its probably just FB refusing to let it.

#325 Re: Off-topic » deb.sury.org now requires systemd » 2024-06-24 21:44:46

I never really use php or apache, but then again, I don't use server like applications... so yeah.

I can't say if anything better exists or not. Or even similar or alternative.

All I can say is, yes... debian is muking with things sounds about right.  All mainstream distros do this tho...

Except maybe Void.
