@oui . . . Again it is DAEDALUS not DEADALUS. Please edit your post above to correct. It makes it hard for users to find your feedback because the search function won't be able to find it because it is misspelled. Thank you.

#927 Re: Devuan Derivatives » gnuinos new ISO files in https://www.gnuinos.org/mirror/daedalus/live » 2023-06-23 21:34:29

@oui . . . Our next release is Daedalus not Deadalus. I have corrected it in both your posts. smile

The only real answer would have been "no, it's not going to work", not a Debian package in a Devuan system . . .

I might be misunderstanding something in your comments but want to clarify that Devuan is 99% pure Debian pulling directly from Debian repos with the exception of blacklisted packages. Devuan only forks a few hundered packages. The magic of putting everything together is done with Amprolla.

As to mixing releases . . . yes that is a no-no.

Echo . . . yes, that sources.list is a mess. Please have a look at this page:

#931 Re: Devuan » Devuan 5 Daedalus Release (Debian 12 - Bookworm) | Looking for info » 2023-06-11 17:12:58

It is always easier to complain than to roll up sleeves to help make it happen sooner, isn't it . . . roll

More like your interpretation of incoming data which humans tend to distort with their emotional prejudices. That is what makes us human and it is a fatal design flaw!

Might not be a terrible idea to implement something similar for the Devuan bugtracker.

No . . . bad idea. The Devuan bug tracker is for bugs in packages that Devuan provides. I know you know this so why muddy the waters . . . ;D

steve_v gave an excellent and correct assessment. Anything else is flapping gums . , .

#936 Re: News & Announcements » Non GNU Linux Chimera » 2023-05-25 22:33:24

FYI . . . I rarely mess with anyone's posts because it is my hope that by leaving useless nonsense visible, the perpetrator(s) will eventually be so mortified that they will change their behavior. However . . . as this thread proves, it doesn't seem to work . . .

#937 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] TTF True Type Fonts » 2023-05-20 16:03:09

Delighted that you solved your font issue! Apologies if I seemed a little grumpy earlier. smile

#938 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] TTF True Type Fonts » 2023-05-19 19:56:31

That is pretty unreadable without block or inline code tags . . .

FYI . . . Google will start deleting accounts that have been inactive for at least two years as part of a new security plan, the company announced Tuesday . . .

I have a few of those because who wants google much in their life. It seemed like a good idea at the time . . .

Probably better to have an online get together, more people could afford to attend such a meeting - Zoom is a popular program for doing that.

The last conference was live streamed and there was a chat associated with it . . . but those folks missed the human experience of camaraderie which is what made the experience so special.  wink

That being said . . . you can't step into the same stream twice . . .

#941 Re: Intergalactic Communities » Interest probing: Devuan Conference » 2023-05-15 20:41:12

I wonder how many attendees would incur travel/accommodation costs for a  one day event . . .

So the first questions might be  "Who is our target audience?" and "What do we want to accomplish?" besides kumbaya. Would it be a "speaker/audience" or "hands on to learn how to do this for Devuan" focus or a bit of both.

There are many ways it could be structured depending on what users prefer so please let us know what would entice YOU to come to a Devuan Conference.

I guarantee you AI will learn how to lie because it imitates its creators . . .

#943 Re: Off-topic » AI on mainstream media » 2023-05-14 17:01:26

@chris2be8 . . . Thanks for the great description. Found it . . . I think . . .

#944 Re: Off-topic » AI on mainstream media » 2023-05-13 16:47:56

@chris2be8 . . . How about a link?

#945 Re: Off-topic » Got another troll prank! » 2023-05-11 04:05:57

No. I'm saying that the vapid posts of some forum members might be so egregious that other forum members might avoid going down a similar path. smile

#946 Re: Off-topic » Got another troll prank! » 2023-05-11 00:45:57

Why should it be? Showcasing stupidity might be a positive and informative experience for some. IOW . . . don't post detritus that deserves to be taken down in the first place . . .

The current color scheme is perfect. And as the saying goes, If it is not broken, don't change it.

Thanks! I hope you will feel the same about Daedalus Sapphire if/when it happens . . . smile

Everything is back up and running. It took a while due to tz and sleep schedules.

@jgmbenoit . . . thanks for the report and welcome to Devuan!
