I did actually find a very similliar bug in the experimental rendering engine of element (the matrix client). So yes, this is something that exists somewhere else too.

Weird, I had not had this name already. Might rename it to yarcp (yet another remote copy). Thanks for the heads up.

This whole post is so funny, because by reading the comments I think OP tried installing GL Tron of all games and it didn’t work for some reason, spotted that it was last updated 12 years ago and thinks that’s why it doesn’t work on modern phones and now everybody here (me included) is having a great time playing GL Tron on their even more modern phones. 😂

Also this is the exact reason, F-Droid shouldn’t remove apps. Because the algorithm cannot know if the app is just completed and works even 12 years later or whether it’s abandoned and stopped working 2 months later.

Edit:

Just for the record, I have looked through droidify because of their “all apps by last updated”-list and scrolled all the way down.

The “most abandoned app” is Trolly. A shopping list app with too many permissions.

The “most abandoned game” is DroidAtomix which seems unplayable on my phone. The next “better” game is Replica Island which does still work, but is not that much fun to play tbh.

Say you are working for a family member (helping your dad with his company or sth.). A colleague once had to go help his parents with their small company and no one questioned it a bit. No “better pay?” or “man you are moving far away!” just “oh, well good luck”.

Yes, right. We could completely erase one third of exploitable vulnerabilities (by your numbers) only by switching to modern languages.

There is no good argument against that. Why wait for C or C++ to try and implement get another weird “solution” for those problems? (That no one uses then anyway)

First off, cause you are programming under windows, a lot of things will be harder for you. As seen on your problems with Python.
Most Linux installs have it right from the get-go and everything else is as simple. So giving directions for developers on other platforms might be much easier than what you had to go through. (Maybe use WSL?)

Let’s get to your real question: How does one organize dependencies in a way easy for new contributors?
Since you will use Python, I will use that as example.

Most languages have a way to automagically import dependencies. Python has the requirements.txt file. Installing dependencies is then really easy. It is also a widely known way to do that, has lots of explanation online etc. so seasoned pythoneers will know what to do and younglings will get to know a good standard right away.

Bonus tip: If you don’t have a GUI library yet, maybe also search for game engines. They provide all the necessary tools as well, oftentimes have good GUI add-ins and are (mostly) for all mayor platforms.

You are right in that it isn’t (or shouldn’t be) part of the parsing, but the program has to check the blacklist even if it’s in a database.

GPL

My PC has a dedicated key to kill all processes.

Also also it told him to include the API key and used v3 in the URL.

That’s why I like fish, which shows matching commands you executed, so that you can easily redo them.

sudo usermod -a cdrom

Forgot the -G and wasn’t sudo anymore…

I did recover eventually, but it was not nice.

source is a bash shell built-in command that executes the content of the file passed as argument, in the current shell.

~/.bash_history contains all the commands you ever executed in bash (the default shell in most Linux systems)

What’s your working environment like?
We’ve recently moved to a more “hip” location. We used to have personal desks, but now we have this “pick whatever spot is avaiable” open area. I dislike it a lot.

Lol. Same.

Nice “interview” with funny insights. As former ABAP-programmer (SAP systems) I see lots of familiarities.

Same 😂

Q: Why didn’t you write this in $NEW_LANGUAGE instead of crufty C++? A: I probably should have! $NEW_LANGUAGE is deservedly attracting a lot of attention for its combination of safety, readable syntax, and support for modern programming paradigms. I’ve been trying out $NEW_LANGUAGE and want to write more code in it. But for this I chose C++ because it’s supported on all platforms, lots of people know how to use it, and it still supports high-level abstractions (unlike C.)

Lol

Is there something like the banana voicemeeter for pipewire?

I am currently using Helvum, which is kinda lacking a lot of the functionality.

Sorry, but this guide is all over the place.

You mention Arch before other distros and never even explain what a distros is (e.g. ‘a flavor of Linux with a choice of preinstalled software’).

Then you say that it’s a beginners and not an advanced tutorial, but mention advanced distros.

Also your reasons for the beginner distros are not well written:

1. Fedora mentions “rightful backlash against the company”
2. Linux Mint “I haven’t used”
3. Pop OS “shares some issues”

Why take one of them? They all sound difficult or weird. (to a newby reader)

Then the part about Ubuntu and Manjaro which is longer than the 3 distros you recommend. This has major “Linux fanboy bashing other Linux fanboys” vibes.

The rest I really liked, maybe replace “this era” with “its era”.

There are a lot of big ones like Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora or Arch. Arch is for users with a little more experience. But funnily enough Arch has like child-distributions, that build upon its core. Ubuntu is also a ‘child’ of Debian an Mint builds onto Ubuntu.

It’s kind of like three or four big families, that had lots of children. 😂

(and then there are NixOS, OpenSuse and lots of others, which I forgot)

It has to do with Linux.

Linux itself is not a fully fledged operating system as most people would expect it. Since Linux has to work on servers and microchips as well as on desktop PCs, lots of stuff is not shipped with it.

For example Linux is missing a way to display windows and has no real package manager.

A distro (or distribution) is a predefined set of of software, that makes it easier for a user to use Linux.

This is mostly a window manager or desktop environment like KDE or GNOME, a package manager like apt or pacman and useful software like an office suite, a browser and other stuff.

Distros also exist for servers, the ln they don’t include a way to display images, but still have a package manager and other useful stuff preinstalled.

That’s of course not all, but maybe gives you a little overview.
