Before even getting to read the article, I'm going to throw in a wild guess:

Is this about operator[] (as well as begin/end) in debug builds?

This is the most stupidest idea (yes, double superlative, that's how bad it is) I've heard posted on the Fediverse since... well, the last time I heard the most stupidest idea, and that was also here on the Fediverse. So, congratulations on that front.

There's like 123456 bad things with this idea, starting with the obvious of blockchain and cryptocurrency, and continuing with the fact that "quality of instances" is equated to "consumption of content". Popularity and connectivity are not indicators of quality.

Well, what’s stopping someone else from adopting TomHanks@Lemm.ee?

There's over 1400 people solely in the US named Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks The Celebrity does not get patent rights or trademarks or copyrights on the name.

RFC 3339, the "alternative" to ISO 8061, was extended to RFC 9957, which also allows adding interpretative tags.

Sounds like unnecessary complexification to me. What is wrong if anything with "2024-04-26"?

Hablando en serio.

Todo el mundo habla de lo mal que está la educación, que los profesores, que los estudiantes y blah blah, y no estoy en desacuerdo que hay cosas ahí que están mal. Me podría mandar un ensayo en cómo no puede ser que una manga de pendejos de 12 vengan a amenazar a un profe en la sala. O que las salas en cuestión no deberían tener más de 20 alumnos.

Pero igual hay temas de método y de material de fondo, como este.

¿Por qué no es más común en Chile enseñar las cosas de una manera más atractiva? O al menos, más inmersiva que "copie el texto aprobado 131 veces". O, no sé, cuando yo estaba en la media la manera que nos enseñaban castellano era penca (ni qué decir del inglés) pero pucha que aprendimos harto el un (1) (uno) semestre que nos hicieron escribir y ejecutar una obra de teatro.

Storm in a teacup, as tends to be the norm on the internet.

Not only this is nothing new and nothing unexpected to happen in Sid of all places, but it's also something that helps bring keepassxc more in line with packaging guidelines on Debian. They already have lots of packages, both of the mutually-exclusive kind and of the complementary kind, with "foo-full", "foo-minimal", "foo-data" etc naming. p7zip and nginx of all things are quite interesting examples.

Plus, the author of the post sensationalizes the title to brigade the issue.

All that said:

  • If the maintainer wishes to do this, "only" having two packages is a half-assed measure and that causes more issues in the long term. I'd expect three packages: keepassxc-minimal, keepassxc-full and the retained name keepassxc as a virtual package name.
  • Furthermore, a direct upgrade path should go from (previous) keepassxc to (proposed) keepassxc-full.
  • I don't know enough of KeePassXC to know if something like keepassxc-data would be needed. Are there potential cases where one would want to switch between "-full" and "-minimal" or viceversa without the system seeing a software uninstallation in the meantime?
  • The "crap" rationale is definitively something we all can do without, but given how people tend to brigade developers who try to do things, I can completely understand and support raising shields and looking defensive because some damage is already going to be done.
  • Most responses are right in that the right place to discuss this is in the opened Debian bug report. The entire point is to see Debian (not KeepassXC) handle this before things get to Next Stable.

Hey everyone I was wondering how do you spice up your cursors, icons, themes, etc., In particular for desktop environments such as XFCE, Mate. Are there any good repositories to use?

I've taken a look at a number of apparently cloned sites like "xfce-look.org", "kde-look.org", "gnome-look.org", but while they seem to show a wide offering of themes, it seems downloading from them is blocked via uBO since it reports a "fp2" fingerprinting script without which apparently downloads are not enabled. Are those sites trustworthy? They seem to be associated to a "OpenDesktop" initiative of which the only reputation I can find is that they were added to EasyList Privacy blocklist.

If there are other alternative hubs or repos from which to theme a distro (as agnostically as posisble) that'd be welcome info.

Cheers. Thanks. Et cetera.

  • ISO 8601 is paywalled
  • RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.

I've seen the Wikipedia article on year 9 doesn't mention anything of relevance happening during November. Closest thing seems to be September. Since people around have spent a few years making lots of ruckus about how the date with "9, 11" has some sort of importance as a date, I was wondering if I'm missing something here.

Basically title. 2019 edition of the Standard denotes the "T" prefix to time as mandatory (except in "unambiguous contexts"):

01:29:59 is now actually T01:29:59, with the former form now designated as an alternative

But date does not have a "D" prefix, not even in "ambiguous contexts".

1973-09-11 never needs to be something like eg.: D1973-09-11

Anyone know the reasoning behind this change and what is the intended use? The only time-only format with separators that I can think would be undecidable in ambiguous contexts would be hh:mm which I guess could be mistaken for bible verses?

En English pero bueno, qué se le va a hacer.

Hoy que se unen las coyunturas de los 50 años del golpe y la dictadura, el cambio climático, y los socavones de los edificios en Valpo, este artículo se ve particularmente relevante.

Si no hubiera sido por el golpe, quién sabe, Long Chile AU o tal vez podríamos haber sido una potencia mundial de la sustentabilidad climática.

As much as Germany denies it, it has been proven in the last 10 or so years that they really loved their nazi days. France seems to also love having been under nazi occupation too, and they seem to have a similar anti-environmentalist attitude.
