What the heck is zoom?

Note to OP . . .

Code tags are easier to read.

@Altoid . . . I did not write that quote. greenjeans did . . . .l;

#29 Re: Off-topic » Critical security flaw in sudo » 2025-10-08 19:16:22

Great, I don't even use sudo and it's STILL a security risk.

Me too . . . sad

#30 Re: Devuan » Excalibur Release Date » 2025-10-08 14:46:10

As always, it will be officially released "when it's ready".

#31 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » noCSD for GTK4 » 2025-10-07 17:40:56

@greenjeans . . . That's great news!

/me breathes a sigh of relief that Xfce might still be usable by the time I get to the GTK4 cluster**** . . .

#33 Re: Off-topic » When installing a system, do you manually partition first? » 2025-10-06 17:49:54

I don't do an installation often but when I do I start with creating the partitions with gparted.  Still on bios and spinning rust here.

#34 Re: News & Announcements » How you can help Devuan » 2025-10-05 21:45:59

The only information of which I am aware  is on the Download page at https://www.devuan.org/get-devuan . . .

Is seeding torrent consider as a contribution?

Of course. Why do you you ask?

Do you have apulse installed? That was the magic - at least 10 years ago - to get rid of pulseaudio. Seems it is still in the repos:

#38 Re: Documentation » [HowTo] MATE Desktop: Change the Applications icon to the Devuan icon » 2025-09-23 01:59:23

No!

Excalibur will likely have a different icon file, right?

Sadly, no. I was completely burned out (and 10 years older and working my way to 90) after doing all the previous themes and no one else with the time or talent to do it properly offered to take over.

PS. I did name the Excalibur theme "Death Metal" and created a proposed desktop BG but that's as far as it got.

#39 Re: Documentation » [HowTo] MATE Desktop: Change the Applications icon to the Devuan icon » 2025-09-23 00:31:46

Eeqmcsq . . . Are you aware that there are other sets of icons and themes for all the past Devuan releases? The themes might not work with the new GTK "improvements" but the icons should be OK.

Disk space is not an issue for me but I still I checked my stats for /.dbus/session-bus/:

125 items, totaling 56.2 KiB (57,552 bytes)

Perhaps because Ondine is whimsical and unpredictable?

Plants do not "think". Plants respond to external stimulus and are not capable of intentional action.

As to what you think . . . it is truly an alternate reality . . .

#43 Re: Off-topic » Share your photography! » 2025-09-11 18:01:30

yummy
Just have to share this one because it was so colorful and tasty!

Top: Green beans with sauteed almonds and scallions

Bottom: Russet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, rutabaga, leeks on a bed of brown rice with a touch of barley and hato mugi (special Japanese type of barley).

These days my main oils are coconut and olive.

Everything organic except for the rutabaga . . .

#44 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] (alsa) arateconf not saving properly » 2025-09-05 15:35:39

@kapqa . . . That is because it is nonsense. You might find it interesting that that statement was made by the most likely candidate to fit that description. Oh, the irony of it all!

Edit: The swift response by "the one who never sleeps" says it all.

Some discussion of AI is one thing but participation is another. There has never been an official discussion of this issue. This is just my personal take on things  . . .

What a waste of time and bits discussing this nonsense . . .

#45 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-04 20:00:08

And you have the right to your opinion even though it is not aligned with reality. Excess and lack of ability to moderate behavior is the problem.

#46 Re: Off-topic » Opinions about keypassXC » 2025-09-04 18:48:27

And who anointed you to be judge, jury and executioner, igorzwx? We await your return to reality . . .  wink

And LeePen has even submitted a patch for seatd!

#48 Re: Off-topic » Happy Labor Day friends! » 2025-08-30 17:09:22

Appreciate the kind thoughts and words. Yes, Devuan is special!

As to Labor Day . . . that is still a few days off.  wink

#49 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No audio on Excalibur through pipewire on KDE wayland » 2025-08-29 21:14:55

I am so sorry your thinking is so scrambled. That nonsense will be the end of this fruitless conversation with I am not sure who or what . . .

#50 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No audio on Excalibur through pipewire on KDE wayland » 2025-08-29 20:18:43

The "understanding" that counts is not a "thinking". That is easy. The understanding that matters is experiential. Something like Newton and the apple.
