#konsole is hands down the beste #Terminal I've found on #Linux. Though I'm not using KDE as a desktop, I haven't found anything better for Gnome base desktops. What terminal is your favorite (and why)?

Hell no. Public tansport is government dependency which is the biggest threat we are facing today.

I ran it through AI and I'm even more confused. So the blackmail implies that if the voluntary system isn't renewed, companies would not even be allowed to scan? Meaning more privacy and less of the control the EU is pushing for. So a win? Or do I misunderstand

What does that mean? 'no extension of the current voluntary system.'?

Yes, thanks. I missed that

Why did you move sources away from Neon? Just curious. And does that mean you will need more time for every upgrade or just now?

Tired? The man ran a pedo ring and his associate got convicted of traffic children to no one. It seems to involve both parties who prevent the release of the client list. I'd say that is not something we should let go

Interesting, why the need for an upgrader for the minor upgrade?

2025-07-14 09:54:50 UTC

Also, they TTY option does not work. Your upgrade.sh script calls xterm which won't run on a TTY

It talks about upgrading from Plasma 6.3, but we've long been on 6.4? Is this an old post or a mistake on your pages?

I disagree with Trump on most things but I never got this being pro Islam and pro queer as the first has quite the radical stance on the second.

Disclaimer. I don't support Trump in any way.
Misinfomation is a funny term coming from the left who would fail basic biology in school 20 years ago. Who also somehow forget that not all whites owned slaves and that white slaves existed as well. The list goes on.

I know, and I still disagree. It also isn't treatment, those kids aren't sick.
I also see that you haven't addressed hormones in our environment one single time. If microplastics and other junk cause chemical changes in our children, the answer is not to mutulate their bodies.

2025-07-04 12:37:42 UTC

- reply

We disagree about what it (transgenderism) is and age appropriate.
Also, that ideology is pushing for medical treatment on minors, which I believe to be absolutely morally corrupt. Adults can do whatever they like (but I don't have to go along with that either)

2025-07-04 12:04:37 UTC

- reply

Just to poke you, how about for example mein kampf?
To be clear, for adults I think there should be 0 banned books.
For kids, we also agree on the principle that there shoudl be age classifications, but we don't agree what should be classified for what age. The people Glyn is critizing put an age classification on books they think can harm kids and I agree with them. Even though we in Belgium did not have rules on those materials, I kept them away from mine and chose the least bad schools (Christian ones) to protect them

2025-07-04 11:16:05 UTC

Children are confused about many things, that's why we don't let them make permanent decisions. Secondly, the bombardment of hormones in our water, in forever plastics and crappy food have sharply changed our hormones. Teenage boys today have the testosterone level that our grandfathers had at 70. Don't tell met that doesn't affect them.
Again. I suspect you are fine with banning books, and specifically banning books to children. Just not these books.
I have a lot of empathy for transgenders, who I think are mostly affected by the combination of social manipulation and messed up hormones into taking treatments that forever sterilizes them. Though as a libertarian I will not put anything in their way of harming themselves, I think they actually need help accepting who they really are instead of undergoing mutulation.

2025-07-04 10:46:26 UTC

Children should be protected from the social constructionists that let them make undergo life altering medical treatments for a possibly temporary confusion about their sex. Something that is by no means surprising given the amount of synthetic hormones we are exposed to combined with gender-confusing naratives in media.

With a valid domain, with an IP logged unless on VPN/tor which works for SimpleX as well.
You stated that any SMTP can be used for deltachat, so non chatmail servers have to be taken into account as well

2025-05-14 20:18:36 UTC

Mail from and RCPT to cannot be encrypted. So all involved mailservers have a record who sends to who, when and size. In some places, those logs have to be kept years.

They can be, but they keep and leak metadata. In some places, e-mail logs have to be stored for 2 years. So using your government e-mail account to use deltachat still reveals who you are talking too.
Neither does that argument negate that SimpleX now defaults to https traffic, which you think would be more likely to be wholesale banned then mail?

2025-05-14 07:10:44 UTC

- reply

It's feeble because Simplex now defaults to port 443, which is also difficult to block as a whole. What ends up happening is that known service providers will get blocked and deltachat has 0 advantage again.

2025-05-13 09:13:29 UTC

- reply

Quickly read it but regardless of common misconceptions about deltachat, I cannot see a single advantage of it over SimpleX (my current top pick) or XMPP, and probably also KeyChat or Whitenoise on #nostr)

2025-04-09 09:37:03 UTC

I love Nextcloud but I don't want #pronouns everywhere. Gonna try to create a simple app to at least get them out of the frontend 🤮

What about @npub1gsu…fy6l ? Signal still leaks metadata, neither it nor Threema can be self hosted or are distributed.

You don't see the bigger problem. You've allowed for governments to grow powerful and collect almost unlimited data and you didn't care UNTIL someone you don't like got into power.
Never give a government anything you wouldn't hand to the worst possible person running it, whoever that is in your view.

Going further on this, there doesn't seem to be a luks option in the installer any more, there is in webfai. Installing with that and the built in drive encryption got me a working installation. I will see about the logs, I copied most of the data of before reinsalling

2024-11-28 10:24:53 UTC

- reply

I should note that the upgraded install had no encryption, it was using the built in encyrption of the drive (through the bios)

2024-11-28 10:21:33 UTC

- reply

It seems more complex then that. I wiped the second system, an Intel NUC and reinstalled with WebFAI and crypt, it doesn't boot.
Installing with ISO to stick and no crypt, it boots

@npub1sfg…fqh4 2 upgrades to OS 4, 2 failures. One recovered with chroot, the other went black during the process and even though the chroot steps seemed to work, it no longer boots. Wiping and reinstalling 😒

True unfortunately (I run Pleroma). But at the end of the day, Nostr solves a lot of things wrong with Activitypub better AND will scale to Twitter level of users. Activitypub won't

I managed to complete the upgrade with a lot off issues, I file a report but if I didn't know Linux well it wouldn't have worked and in second order, my system would have been broken. It's nowhere near ready for release.

I don't mind the delays, but this is exactly what I wanted, just let us know what is going on and what to expect.

It would be convienient if you posted status updates somewhere so we knew it was pulled, or when it is available again.
It's an update that will take a bit of time, so I'm planning when to do it.

I know the upgrade had issues, but it was supposed to be back yesterday. When will it be re-released?

I think the battery drain is a big blocker for larger adoption, I have a large set of devices in my home and only the two Iphones are usable. With Simplex the pixels 4 and 7 don't last a workday, without they do

How did they block you? IP range?

The comment about groups with max 50 users is factually false, that applies to v1 groups possibly. I am currently in groups with about 1000 users, though it will not go up to 50-100k like telegram does.
Secondly, neo nazis use electricity too, so do we demonize that too? You cannot prevent evil people from using tools good people need to safely live their lives.

Mine throws the same warning on the terminal:

for apt, just add the brave repos from their site. Or install flatpak support. On plain Ubuntu , flatpak is not standard

yes. Both apt on their repo and flatpak. No snaps

yeah, both with Brave's own apt repositories and from Flatpak

I read the first sentence as your reply, I see now it was Jan's.
@jan@kcore.org why not, running a graphics layer that the closed source driver producer just now starts to offer limited support for is a recipe for disaster. That is the fault of said manufacturer who knew Wayland was going to replace X for many years in advance. We can't hold back new technology because their support is lagging.
