Here is a list of apps (taken from the names of metadata/*.yml files on the f-droid gitlab): apps.txt (pastebin)

Choose one at random:

 python

    
#!/usr/bin/env python
import random
names = open("apps.txt").readlines()
print("https://f-droid.org/en/packages/"+random.choice(names)[:-1]+"/")

  

No, this is just my personal laptop. I don't even have access to an IP address I could enable port-forwarding on.

There are many good apps that don't receive/need regular updates anymore. Besides, giving them more attention might encourage new contributions.

Edit: maybe we can make an exception for this though:

They are both too big for me. I like a small rural community, where everything is close enough that no car is needed (an island in my case). I grew up in a city, and I'm so glad I got out of there.

I'm on Void, and I had the malicious version installed. Updating the system downgraded xz to 5.4.6, so it seems they are on it. I'll be watching discussions to decide if my system might still be compromised.

I chose KDE for my parent, because I know it well (I might have gone with cinnamon otherwise). It has paid off - every time they call me with a problem, I can immediately direct them to the solution without having to look anything up. Had to switch back to X11 though, because zoom was somewhat unreliable on wayland.

I used waydroid for whatsapp, though any android emulator will probably work. To create the account, there was an option to verify a phone number by sending a text message (to a dumb phone with a burner sim card in my case). I use whatsapp web to read and send messages, and only have to open waydroid every few months to sign-in again.

no...? If an app doesn't load content from un-trusted sources, (files, websites, sms messages, etc.), then there isn't really anything to worry about. It is also just as likely for something newly developed to contain a vulnerability as something developed a long time ago. Or even more likely, as there has been less time for people to discover vulnerabilities.

oh no! not unmaintained! The unmaintenance gremlins are going to implement so many bugs and vulnerabilities!

I don't think this is an "Arch is bad" post, but rather a "Void is good post". I think the sticker is remove because it's not relevant to them anymore.

• The package manager is extremely fast
• The lack of systemd reduces startup time
• The musl libc marginally speeds up programs

My school (when I was very young) had a fancy-dress day. I remember multiple people cross-dressing there.

Huh interesting. In Scotland we had another one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haggis_(programming_language)

I've convinced them all to use matrix with me. For some reason they still use Skype with each other.

Also it sounds like you still use facebook? In which case doesn't that make you the boomer of this comment section? I don't see why you would use a public social platform to communicate with your family - that's what messaging services are for. Also what's wrong with SMS? It's literally just another messaging service, built into phones by default.

also also if SMS is for boomers.

and people's parents are likely to be boomers.

does it not make sense that people will use SMS to communicate with their parents?

something something something I win.

My version also seems to be 1.3.2. When I select (*.pdf) from the export panel, it lets me select all the pages at once, which results in a single PDF.

I can import and export multi-page PDFs into inkskape just fine. No need to do each page individually.

Oh my goodness. And when it comes out the nose is completely clear and blood free. Sometimes I miss having nosebleeds.

It wasn't even near the top of the post. (4 people fell for it in the replies)

I got 12 :)
