Just note that if you somehow get out of those meetings, incorrect information will be propagated somehow. Even if you put the correct answers in an email and send it to everyone involved. If someone has a way to prevent that from happening please let me know. It’s killing me slowly.

Yeah, I’ve been using it for about a year now. It’s a little frustrating that it will learn my misspellings before it suggests a proper replacement, but otherwise I have no complaints. Direct upgrade over the stock AOSP keyboard.

The entire post was off-topic as FUTO does not qualify as open source. That being said, the mods should probably update community rules instead of murdering a discussion thread.

Why is open source dogmatic? Because every line of code should have a purpose. Features are inherently optional and often cloud the project from the initial objective.

Few people are paid to maintain this category of software so they want to keep things manageable. Omitting features is the easiest way to limit edge cases and keep up with your dependencies.

I find it commendable that you wrote code so horrible other libraries started throwing more errors wondering what the hell you were doing.

Yeah, there are a lot of bells and whistles and a fundamental difference between the way they intend to manage dotfiles and the way stow does. Makes it difficult to get started.

One thing that helped me when I was first getting into it: Chezmoi doesn’t like compartmentalization like stow. It supports it, but it want’s you to lean into the config langue a bit before you start doing that.

If you do that you can get away with only touching the add, cd, and update commands.

I liked stow, and used it for quite some time. That being said, it has issues. Issues community members have attempted to solve. Issues the sole maintainer wasn’t addressing for quite a few years.

I use chezmoi now. I’ve still got mixed feelings, but the templating system is neat. Stow seems to have gotten out of it’s slump while I was gone. That’s good news! Anyone know if they addressed the tree specific folding/unfolding config feature? Not seeing anything in the docs…

Well, I won’t lie. It’s difficult.

Ideally you’d know this person and interact with them somewhat regularly. If it’s online or this person believes they can ignore you without consequence then it won’t matter how you address them beyond that initial interaction.

Don’t use that as an excuse to feed into their believes though. There’s a chance someone they know is already trying to coax them back to reality. If anything in that interaction makes them feel justified, it’ll take 20x the effort to undo the mental hoops they’ll jump through to rationalize the rest of their feelings.

It sucks. It’s not fair to those impacted, but this is the only way to stop this radicalization and hardheadedness that plagues people nowadays.

Dude, that doesn’t help either

I have to do it all the time. I was born and raised in the south by (relatively) liberal parents. I recognize that some of my neighbors my not be up to the standards of the rest of the country, but (I can’t believe I have to say this out loud) we shouldn’t ostracize a geographic region of people because of social issues.

Social reform isn’t achieved by running up to someone and saying “You’re an uninformed idiot from a flyover state and what you believe is incorrect.” It’s achieved by saying, “I know you don’t really mean that” when someone says some weird shit and calling them out in a more neutral environment. Unfortunately you have to convince people to be better. It’s too easy to just close yourself off and decline into your own beliefs.

Man, saying things like this just further the divide without providing meaningful contributions to any of the current conversations.

People out here complaining about Gentoo. My brother in Christ, you built the operating system.

To be fair, C predates dependency hell. It was either there or it wasn’t. C++ has less of an excuse, but it was just object oriented concepts taped to C so it’s no surprise it was also missing dependency management.

Now with cmake, gnu-make, meson, gradel, and the world of metabuild systems that wrap those, nothing will change. It it does, it might as well kick start world war 3.

I agree limiting application scope is useful for multiple reasons, however Jellyfin started as a fork of Emby which already had music support. I have yet to find a standalone application that has enough features to sway me from just utilizing the existing media server functionality.

Finamp’s current alpha was a huge surprise to me. I stopped looking at development for a few months and in that time they completely reworked it

Nope, but it has become a backronym https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_storage#Origins

You would first need to define malicious code within the context of that repo. To some people, telemetry is malicious.
