The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
can someone explain to me what the fuck gpgme and gpgmepp are. because I tried to run updates today and those two packages are conflicting but also gpgmepp depends on gpgme....

What the fuck are these faggot packages and can i fucking nuke them from orbit?

These are the same packages that caused all my issues last night.

GPGME
GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a library designed to make access to GnuPG easier for applications. It provides a High-Level Crypto API for encryption, decryption, signing, signature verification and key management. Currently it uses GnuPG's OpenPGP backend as the default, but the API isn't restricted to this engine. We have, in fact, already developed a backend for CMS (S/MIME).

Because the direct use of GnuPG from an application can be a complicated programming task, it is suggested that all software should try to use GPGME instead. This way bug fixes or improvements can be done at a central place and every application benefits from this. Furthermore, there is no guarentee that any particular command line option will remain exactly the same at any given point

I'm sure it's totally not a critical system file that will make everything shit the bed if deleted. Totally.

In Linux news, an active X11 developer has decided to fork the project and is insinuating that the project has been allowed to languish primarily because of interference by Red Hat/IBM. It seems a little optimistic to me, but it would be really funny if he was right and a single developer managed to fix X11 and Wayland dies on the vine because they couldn't make it feature complete with nearly 2 decades of development.

I got partitions mounting. I can mount my drives now.

I added some folders in /mnt and then added shortcuts to them in dolphin. Not as intuitive or easy as my previous setup because I have to mount drives with the konsole now but it works

I just need a way to update gpgmepp and gpgme now. I dont want to be perma stuck on current version

X11 actually has a history of this. Xorg is a fork of XFree86, which kicked core team member Keith Packard who did most of the job in XFree86 and Xorg. Because of this and licensing shit, XFree86 was forked into Xorg.

Now Firefox is reading more than writing?

:thinking:

I've been seeing you talk about this for a while. What distro are you using it on out of curiosity?

And even completely unrelated to your problem. These days I would probably just drop Firefox all together. There is no real, good reason to use it now. At least in my opinion.

For your issue. I've seen people make suggestions. It's obviously something weird going on. Personally if I was going to try fixing it. The first place I would look would be about config. Well second. I would start in troubleshoot mode. Or at least mess around with hardware acceleration turn it off or on. Then go from there.

This guy knows how to tease an episode. The cold start clips include Brodie talking about programming socks. Arch turns you trans. And idk I literally just started watching. Once I get further it will probably be gay and boring. But who knows.

I ended up watching the whole thing. Right towards the end, for the last question. It sounded like he started talking shit about the gnome devs. And a part was cut out. Of something he must have said. I wasn't watching, to see if there was an obvious cut. But from the sound, that seems to be what happened.

He probably realized he will get shit from them if whatever he said was left in.

Jokes aside, I hate when distro devs put the neofetch every time you open a terminal

At least it's usually easy to take it out. Though the only ones I've seen do it. Are the preconfigured type, distros, like Manjaro, or popos types. I can't remember specific ones that do, but that is the category of distros I've seen doing it.
 
Damn just saw this. Probably worth another post instead of an edit.


Xorg fork. Tbh I don't know how much I believe it's going to actually last. If it's whole thing is just. We aren't dei. I need to actually watch. That could be lunduke adding his own politics stuff on top.

Damn. Idk if I don't refresh enough. I post. Then instead of being on the actual last pages. I get another popping up. With the there are more messages, do you want to see them? Thing.

This is only something I've noticed in the last day or two. But it keeps happening. So idk.

Edit: yeah. Definitely a dumb choice to make the video title that. When it could have been something to actually advertise it to people other than just the right. If you want that fork to do well.

Like the part about redhat standing in the way of a new xorg release. Instead of just dei would have probably been an over all better move if you want to actually get as many people as possible on the side of this fork.

wtf is this? another way to mount drives???? brother wtf

It works fine. I actually used it on my current Gentoo-Systemd install. More as a lark than anything. fstab is better because your config isn't spread across one-file-per-mount, to say nothing of the fact that each .mount file takes several lines. But It Werks(tm)! Negrates only please. We don't want newbies getting bad ideas.

They also removed all of his pull requests, including the namespace security thing. This fucking redhat IBM NIGGER intentionally chose to ignore security improvement: Screenshot_2025-06-06_01-18-25.webp
also reminder what kind of company redhat (IBM) is:

The dev himself made it clear that it would be "non-dei" in a very gay way, but Lunduke is just happy that the project is "non-political" so he's emphasizing it more than it deserves. It's primarily about continuing and fixing X11, with a very large first update to remove technical debt.

Yeah. I just edited in that I see that now.

I really think that title, and way of pushing this story. Is pretty dumb on lundukes part.

For me, sure I like having non-rust tranny projects. But overall. It's probably not the smartest thing to label this project as. When it's just starting
