@quickfur . . . I bet you could make an excellent contribution to the joke thread with that info!

Good grief! If y'all knew anything about Devuan or those responsible for providing it, you wouldn't be posting such drivel. The constant flow of useless babble here and elsewhere is more than annoying. Please get a grip . . .

Yes, I remember rrq's objection to your unclickable links and I likely said something at some point also. I also understand your logic.

Since you are a bit of a noob, I'll share some history . . . at one time, iirc,  rrq removed the truncated live link function so links printed in their entirety. Due to user feedback from those who like to click a link, the live, truncated links were returned. Will be interesting to hear other forum members feedback about your manipulations to "have it your way".

But . . . what keeps ringing in my ears is this:

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one."

In the meantime, please use the standard protocols of this forum as they were intended.

Hrumph . . . Please explain why are you using code tags for normal text. It's a bit disorienting . . .

@zapper . . . seems you're having a bad day . . . The movie in your head is the movie in YOUR head and obviously stressing you. Please take a deep breath and change the channel you're watching . . .

@pl . . . ditto

Whoa, zapper! Name-calling? Really? Maybe you'll want to take a deep breath and rethink that . . .

Yep, me too. Been skeptical of it since day one.  In fact, one of my prime reasons to ditch the Windoze world and go all-out Linux . . .

Me too not long after Y2K and the first announcements that windoze was going to the cloud . . .

#533 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Connman panel icon not there ... » 2024-07-16 15:47:39

In Xfce Settings there is a Sessions and Startup - Application Autostart list. You should be able to add Connman to that list. Caveat . . . I am still on Chimaera . . .

Confirmation much appreciated. Thanks!

@Tritonio . . . Please give that link another try. It should be fixed . . . Again, thanks for letting us know that it was broken!

#537 Re: Installation » does the Brave browser work here? » 2024-07-11 00:53:48

There are quite a few Brave users here but alas, not me . . .

#538 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] is there not an ISO that doesn't immediately start the installer? » 2024-07-10 23:23:22

I seem to remember that there are no live Excalibur (testing) isos available but there will be after the freeze. Right now there are too many changes happening upstream to keep the live iso current.

Memory issues? Wasn't once enough?

Sadly, there is nothing that Devuan can do because Dyne admins the backend of their mailing lists. sad

#541 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Firefox broken? » 2024-07-08 18:42:00

Well, there is always Stylus which is a bit of a pain but gets the job done. I was using it before uBlock Origin and it is still running and working. Oops . . . power just winked in and out. Thankful to have everything important hooked to a UPS . . .

#542 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] Mailing list subscription broken » 2024-07-08 13:36:08

Thanks for letting us know. Will get that fixed asap. Until then, all the available subscription links seem to be working from this page:

#543 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Firefox broken? » 2024-07-07 18:06:08

Is there even the equivalent to the script/add blocking plugin system for chrome?

uBlock Origin works just fine and has an option to block JS and also options to block stuff with a click..

#544 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-07-06 16:16:20

I hope . . . erm, poke to please. big_smile

#545 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-07-05 15:02:25

THUD . . . or maybe spud? That is biologically impossible.  Potatoes are waaaay too gnarly for 2 halves to look alike. Maybe more coffee? big_smile

#546 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-07-04 00:49:56

Lighten up, @golinux! This is a joke thread . . .

Yeah . . . it's a joke for sure . . .

Sorry, couldn't resist . . . hehehe

#547 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-07-04 00:46:33

Nice to see a new face in here . . . smile

As someone once said, you are only young once, but you can remain immature indefinitely! tongue

Very sad and very true but . . . somehow (and thankfully) I missed that memo so can't really relate to the glorification of youth. I was once trapped in a young body and had to associate with silly young ones and did so as little as possible. Adult company and conversation was still rather boring but a bit more interesting . . .

#549 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-07-03 15:58:43

Has there been a timewarp? Are we back in highschool?

#550 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-07-02 19:31:20

@greenjeans . . . Thanks for the catch-up! I would also prefer in-person but I think we'll have to settle with technology if we want it to happen. Specific info about the meet is posted on the devuan-dev mail list a few days prior.  At least we are TZ compatible . . .

Just for you, I'll have a look at the images even though memes are so not my thing. I am more of a word person . . . wink
