  • Aside from cheetahs, wouldn't most prefer denser vegetation because it makes it easier to hide from prey and predators? It's just that they adapted to a subpar environment because they had an open niche to fill in.

  • When Do Debian Packages Receive Updates?
  • I'm aware of Debian's reputation for not having the most up-to-date software in its repository

    Yes, it's a stable distro. Contrary to what most Linux users think, that term only means that the distro is unchanging. That means only necessary updates are released (security fixes for example).

    when it will make available the upcoming major release of GIMP to 3.0.

    Maybe in the next version, if the gimp release happens soon enough it gets tested.

    Just use an external package manager like flatpak to install fresh packages. The only reason I could run MX (Debian) for about a year was because I installed almost every user package through nix, and used Debian ones for the system packages.

  • Unbearable Linux issues on work laptop
  • The xfce in the current MX has issues with waking up as well. When power manager suspends it, it would often wake up to a black screen and requires either a logout or to apply a xrandr config. Same issue doesn't happen when suspending through systemctl

  • The Mozilla layoffs ... will get worse
  • Not the same scale but Signal has a rather new approach for a messaging client. Completely free and funded by user donations - at least that's the direction they're trying to head

    You do realise they're trying to become the crypto WeChat? Shit app with horrible management.

  • Counting in binary is kind of possible with fingers

    Kind of? It's quite possible and easy. I spent an afternoon counting syllables to create shitty poetry, and my fingers started counting on their own. Now I can count to 31 on 1 hand and it's surprisingly useful.

    (partially solved, will update when completed) Please help with an xfce/powerup bug: black screen after suspend/hibernate

    MX Linux, Xfce 4.18

    Closing the laptop lid suspends the system, opening it resumes it, but the screen is black. I'm guessing it's related to powerup because suspending through the logout menu and systemctl suspend both work as expected. When it's black, switching to a different tty works, as well as C-M-Backspace to logout.

    Same results with both lightdm and sddm, when replacing suspend with hibernate, and I've tried a few solutions like disabling lock on sleep.

    Seems like this issue has been around for years, but had a whole bunch of different causes since every other thread has a different solution.

    XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon > /tmp/xf.log 2>&1

    ps -ef | grep -E 'screen|lock'

    xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

    dmesg, cleared it before trying to suspend

    updates:

    I'm not seeing a black screen, instead it turns on the display and then turns it off.

    Additionally, I tried closing and opening the lid a few times, and it woke up correctly.

    I tried it in i3wm with the xfce power manager to suspend after closing the lid. It woke up correctly 10 times in a row.

    Solution: start an xrandr config and the monitor turns back on.

    Non-general purpose posts

    This community is:

    > A general purpose programming community for English speakers

    Language specific posts like:

    and ide specific posts like:

    are not general purpose. Posts like that ruined /r/programming for me, and this community seems to be going down the same road. I'm here to read about programming concepts that can be applied to any/most languages, not patch notes for 10 different Js frameworks posted by karma farming bots. If I wanted to read posts like that, I'd have subbed to /c/javascript...

    Do you agree with me that they should be removed from /c/programming, and limited only to their respective communities? Or have I missed the point of this community?
