They may be of no purpose to you, but there are thousands, if not millions of people to which autotools is still incredibly useful, even with all its weaknesses and flaws.

Oh, you're far from the only one. It's just most of us just quietly shrug and move away from any project that does this. Life is too short, we should spend our time where it's valued.

Agreed. When hiking in mountains, on some nights the sky is so clear, air so still and light pollution so low that I can easily discern eight or nine "sisters" there. Such nights are usually in summer, but less frequently also dur

One does not preclude the other. Your quick answers can come in form of sending them links to the relevant parts of the documentation you wrote earlier. And if their question is not something that can be answered that way, you can improve y

Unless said technologies are for stealing user data, what would be the point? At the risk of angering Godwin, did post-WW2 Germany tear down the incredibly useful "Autobahn" highway system that the Nazi party built during their re

You're right, I was overly hasty in submitting this, I forgot to look for a more direct link. I'm sorry.

They're actually well on their way to switch to GTK3. I guess it takes a while. https://www.gimp.org/news/2020/11/06/gimp-2-99-2-released/

Do you have any documentation (or blogs) on a higher level that you would recommend? I too have been using Docker for a while, and recently also for certain programs on my desktop (mainly firefox, github cli, azure cli, aws cli, terraform).

I've used two or three HP Elitebooks in past few years, and suspend/resume, as well as hibernation/resume just worked on them. I never even really thought about it, to be honest, I just used it - mostly just suspend - daily.

I consider that a feature. I really do not want my search results to depend on where in the world I am searching from. If I am looking for something regional, I can always add country name or "site:XX" to the keywords. But ultima

Why not go with a regular blog post where you can fit as much text as you want, instead of torturing a micro-blogging platform for this? It's like using screws as nails. It can be made to work somewhat, but it's not very usable.

If nothing else, it could prevent Amazon abusing its monopoly, by leveraging its monopoly in one area to slap competition around in other areas.

The link you posted only states that the upgrade is not supported for 64-bit ARM, and that 32-bit (x86) system cannot be upgraded to Leap. It doesn't say upgrade in general is not.

It is untrue that SLES does not support upgrades between major versions: https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP2/single-html/SLES-... It is, however, true that SLES is less conservative than e.g. RHEL when

The issue here is that nowadays "heavy applications of JS" are quite common on blogs, news websites and other "definitely not web applications"-type of websites. With JS enabled, I sometimes see simple mousewheel scrolli

I have nothing against Javascript when it improves the overall result. However, when I come across a site which consists of text articles interspersed with some static images, and the images do not show with JS disabled, or in extreme cases

Ooh, this makes me happy that I bothered to invest time in getting the Teams app to run within a docker container.

I wonder if publicizing this was a good idea. Now whoever was blackmailing can simply stop, or will find other means. It's like setting up a trap for smugglers or whoever and hanging a big blinking "TRAP HERE" sign on it.

Oh come on. It's not like making an account is overly difficult or demanding. You are not required to send two forms of ID or a blood sample by mail. Anyone who really wants to contribute to the project (and scratch their itch) will no

That's odd. I'm using Linux Teams client in a Docker container, and it gets many days of uptime (and many voice calls per day) between restarts (for unrelated reasons). No problems with integrating with host pulseaudio server. I&#

We have more than enough of places like that, there's no need to create (n+1)th. They all have the same problem - lack of adoption, so the network effect is working against them.

It's not about what their agenda was, it's about what the perceived message is. The article clarifies it in great detail. Let's compare this to the recent PC brigade efforts of banning "master/slave", or "
