@steve_v I normally don't say this, but I am not going to be insulted by reading your trash post.

If you want to torment people, don't expect them to take it.

You are rather tiresome and I don't wish to play games with you. Just stop posting. I dislike you more each time you post.

Just accept we won't get along anytime you go at me.

I will give you worse flack if I must.

You are nothing more than a doppleganger. You feed off of my suffering. Get lost.

Btw, one last thing, I have donated to projects before.

Hyperbola (More than 2K not kidding!)
Libreboot
Noscript
Trisquel (long ago very!)
Palemoon
and I forget what else

So I don't think parasite is appropriate for me.

Might be you, I don't really know if you donate ever.

There are projects worth supporting, but Desktop Environments with flashy eye candy is on the bottom of my list.

Window managers? Some.

Anywho, I am done adding my last bits. I am unsubscribing from this mess, I don't know if I will look back to see what you wrote or not. You are such an unforgivably vindictive  person.

@steve_v and I will give you respect when you stop acting like an ass.

Netflix is garbage. They want DRM to watch their videos. And these big corporations wonder why some people stream illegally.

The irony is thick.

#104 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-07-10 06:27:32

@blackhole in my experience, only fascists use rhetoric like based (as positive) or woke (as negative)

Neither of those words are being used in their correct context. the dev of xlibre used woke in that sense.  So just to be clear, that is a mega red flag already.

even without anything else.  Although xlibre might be fine. I don't know if I can trust alt righ twingers to do coding correctly.

Besides, isn't Xenocara also available? and that is developed by really good coders.

OpenBSD devs though toxic, are really good at coding.

@steve_v oh the humanity, I dare to have a different opinion than you! I won't stay quiet so I keep saying how I feel!

God forbid I do that!

I should just never say another word on here and let you vilify me as much as you want without any checks or balances.

I am sorry I didn't realize this!

/s

#106 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-06-28 10:09:40

@steve_v wrong thread pretty sure. If you are going to get pissed at me, at least respond correctly on the thread where you say I offended you.

Also, I don't use GNOME. I never really used GNOME much. MATE? Yeah, but if GNOME disappeared, or for that matter, every DE, I wouldn't care at all.

Especially GNOME3 and forks of it or KDE 5+ or GNOME 4 and similar.

My point being, I find fault with GNOME precisely because I find it unusable without crap and it doesn't offer much to me in the first place.

I have tried it, but it sucks. Lumina Desktop, LXDE and XFCE4 and MATE look fine.

But DEs usually require unneeded dependencies anyhow so... its a waste.

#107 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-28 01:08:46

I don't like corporate nonsense or fascist nonsense. GNOME devs are very low on the integrity bar for sure. Although... so are people who use woke as a negative.

Woke means awake and nothing else. It doesn't mean the opposite of based unless people have brain damage.

There is so much stupid dogmatic internet slang for fascism that needs to disappear. Woke, Based consoomer and other stupid stuff like that just gives me a headache.

people like Luke Smith encourage this dumb slang and I detest it. Not to mention their artwork of old people and green fbi agents, frog animations, etc...

Just a very annoying list of crap. The internet has enough bad slang without all of that being added.

This is one of the reasons I cannot stand people like Luke Smith and Bryan Lunduke and other similar parasitic people.

Its also ironic that right wingers now claim to be for linux, when they are the ones who tried to crush the movement of linux in the first place!

Irony, irony, irony...

Anyways, this rant is brought to you by many headaches and beyond.

#108 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-06-28 00:56:41

@steve_v bikeshedding crowd? What the hell is that?

You sure use some unusual analogies

#109 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-06-25 03:44:27

@golinux I hear steve_v was trying to compile it for that purpose.

I don't know if he did.

#110 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-06-25 03:18:22

I am not brave enough to try running xenocara or xlibre from a source build myself.

So I say, you bold.

#111 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Where to view system requirements Devuan » 2025-06-25 03:17:15

if you want a window manager and a web browser like palemoon, you might only need 1GB of ram.

But then again, I know more people prefer flashy DEs, so there's that.

#112 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-06-25 03:15:50

@aitor looks interesting... you have a point.

#113 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-22 15:49:14

@steve_v yes, that is true I suppose. Although, I was talking about people who actually are intending to be those things. You are talking about people who aren't intending to be.

So there is that.

#114 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-21 14:25:37

@steve_v I have had no problems with Xenocara.

But you certainly are being very harsh. Maybe, chill?

That to me is childish.

Just sayin...

#115 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-06-21 12:29:55

@aitor what do you mean by vdev? ZFS?

Curious.

If you mean ZFS, I think there are better options for Hyperbola, such as HAMMER2.

#116 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-21 12:27:48

@Steve_v I couldnt really understand what you were trying to say here:

"@steve_v *is waiting for Xlibre to finish compiling right now*
And you? Yeah, that's what I thought..."

Btw. Xenocara has better principles in place anyhow. Why not try compiling that? Hyperbola did it, I bet it could be done in devuan too.

Yes pledge and unveil wouldn't work, but its worked fine for me.

#117 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-20 04:20:16

@steve_v as usual... punching down rather than punching up.

Its easy for you to criticize a small person so you choose that. Congratulations, you just played yourself.

Zzzzzzzzzzz....

Xenocara is the best option btw.

Xlibre could be good, but I am not certain yet of if he, the person in charge of it, is pushing his political beliefs on it.

Till I know, I will stick with my support for Xenocara only.

Now if you excuse me, I don't take pleasure in playing with your childish insults or in fighting them either.

#119 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-17 03:53:29

@brocashelm I don't know if or when they will embrace wayland.

Its possible you are right, but I don't know yet. I am undecided on what I think will happen with that.

#120 Re: Off-topic » GNOME is taking the scum bag approach still... » 2025-06-16 19:24:49

@Camtaf gnome is a waste yes. Although, most of  the  DEs except LXDE, XFCE4 and LUMINA look awful and are bloated garbage.

And have unneeded dependencies...

This being said, I just cannot stand that level of arrogance. Such a-holes.

@brocashelm Agree with all of that. I just hope XLIBRE isn't tainted by the ideology of the person developing it. He supposedly is a fascist, I hope he keeps his views out of his project.

I don't trust him too much. But then I don't trust GNOME or Redhat devs either. So... yeah.

Corporate rulers = bad

Fascism = awful

I will have to see how this future progresses to know whether xlibre is any good.  Although, Xenocara also exists and I tend  to think that might be a better option. Besides which, it works in Hyperbola. Except pledge and unveil of course. wink

Time will tell...

Immediately found this out when browsing distrowatch.

As some people know, I find this to be completely stupid and flat out arrogant.

The cheek one must have to doing stuff like this is immense.

Then again, corporations love this kind of cheek... so yeah.

Thoughts anyone?

#122 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-06-06 16:48:35

If at some point you can test openrc, that would be appreciated. I would more likely use it if that were the case.

#123 Re: Off-topic » libadwaita forked by Mint » 2025-05-26 22:02:19

@greenjeans hey what does CSD mean in this context? I assume its an acronym...?

#124 Re: Off-topic » So Microsoft has ruined GitHub by pushing AI sloppy nonsense features » 2025-05-26 21:53:50

Did you expect anything different? If microsoft didn't ruin most of what they touched, they wouldn't be microsoft.

That's fundamentally who they are.

Break things, to make money! That's also redhat too as well.

#125 Re: Off-topic » Does anyone watch Bryan Lunduke? » 2025-05-25 21:25:06

@brocashelm If he isn't fascist, he shouldn't use phrases like woke in a negative or use alex jones as a positive, because that is what fascists do.

@greenjeans Gnome shouldn't be dependant on systemd though. This is not the only reason I dislike it though.

The main reason is it has many stupid dependencies beyond that. That is just the cherry on top.

No DE or window manager worth anything should depend on dbus, polkit, pam, systemd, networkmanager, pulseaudio or pipewire. Another words, if it depends on very bloated redhat software, its crap.

Also, GNOME feels like windows 8 all over again. That design was trash. Then again, I dislike most DEs.

LXDE and Lumina are fairly decent. LXDE however alas, requires polkit for some unknown reason. (No idea!)
