Debian Maintainer | A Computer Nerd who also happens to be a Debian Packager.

I'm a hobbyist programmer. Outside of the computer world, I'm a STEM Major who likes inventing things.

I’m also a hobbyist graphic designer who mostly designs posters and media content for Debian India

Outside of geeky and nerdy stuff, I play a lot of video games, mostly single player ones.

@TheEvilSkeleton @thelinuxEXP I don't like how you're the one getting the heat in this situation even though you're just doing what upstreams usually do -- hold distro maintainers responsible.

I just finished watching Nick's video and he explained the controversy very well which kinda makes clear as to who's responsible for the package's current condition.

Mint should just create its own apps at this point. They modify way too much stuff.

@TheEvilSkeleton damn looks like your post ended up being the hot point of discussion on Nick from TheLinuxExperiment’s video too: https://youtu.be/1ebkQq5TcMw

@TheEvilSkeleton @fun Rebranding stuff or heavily modifying a project's source code is nothing new to Mint.

Again, from what I noticed, most people are poorly informed about what upstreams can do. An upstream has no control over the repositories of a distro so the upstream author cannot do much about the bugs because its the responsibility of the distro.

I don't even understand the backlash against you because its a downstream maintained package now.

The police were throwing stones at the protesters, and the mainstream media is showing that protester became violent.

New article, although this one is a controversial one based on the situation of GNOME Calendar and Linux Mint. I present to you: How far would hostile distributions go to hurt application developers?

@praveen Who else is going?

There are a lot of uncertainties in my life right now but what’s certain is that my next console will be a Nintendo Switch 2.

Thank you Sony for helping me with the decision.

@fbinin @johan @Codeberg @untrusem yes I have my website up and running with codeberg pages but my setup is an old one that still fortunately works.

They made some changes to how codeberg pages works and they’re not done with the transition yet. For the custom domains you still need to use the old method but I couldn’t get it working myself because of the new changes.

I’m waiting for codeberg to iron it out

How to share your games on the upcoming PS6? Watch this and find out

Thank you Sony for convincing me to not buy a PS5/6. Seems like I’m on team Nintendo now.

I'm never using UK mirrors again...

GRUB2 menu with the default theme but instead of a pure black background, there's a black and white image of Queen Elizabeth II at the bottom right and the following text in white capital letters at the top left:
"HER MAJESTY
QUEEN
ELIZABETH II

1926-2022"

The GRUB menu image was the first result I found on Google and its entries are:
- Ubuntu
- Advanced options for Ubuntu (selected)
- Memory test (memtest86+)
- Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)

@sounddrill I hate exams because anybody could just learn answers by rote, dump them in the paper and enjoy good grades. There’s no fun in learning anything because you get punished for learning something that doesn’t help with your exam.

@sounddrill happy birthday and congrats. At least someone is finally getting rid of those gruelling college exams

I went to a KFC yesterday and tried to order some food via the self ordering kiosk that ran on Windows 10. The kiosk had a BSOD and crashed when I was about to place my order.

KFC would not only save a lot of money by using Linux but their kiosk machines also wouldn’t die out midway through an order.

I must be one of the very few people on this planet who is not interested in GTA 6 but is excited for The Witcher 4.

To me a new PS5/6 is looking like a worthy purchase given that we’re getting a Witcher Remake as well as 4.

re: AI, how much people hate it
@sri @karolherbst It's also very easy to spot something written by a LLM. It just feels less human and the words feel more exaggerated. I don't read anything beyond the first 2 lines.

@badrihippo @prav perfect opportunity for a XMPP Campaign XD

@jessie Is that a Colosseum made of teeth? XD
