@RubbaDuxx @huy_ngo I tried that approach but my problem was way more complex and went down 'the stack'. I spent too much time banging my head before moving on.
Start with a problem that is within the code you want to learn. If the problem goes beyond the 'front' app, write it in the issue and find out/ask where the problem may be.
Triaging problems to where the fault maybe is very helpful for other developers.

@alcinnz simplicity would this be like putting all your files on the desktop and not all your apps?

@cadadr@weirder.earth what about opening a search engine to do a calculation on another calculator?

@alcinnz @tychosoft we also have to remember that 'open source' to them means 'weakly licensed, corporate-exploitable-without-giving-back' open source, *not* Copyleft. Never copyleft. Copyleft is a like a right angle (or a crucifix) to a vampire.

@devinprater@dragonscave.space it wouldn't play for me on YouTube but I found it on Spotify. Nice song, I like how it takes you through the different emotions with the same riff.

@MrTWatson @blindscribe so you may think there may be an issue. This does not mean the vaccine is not working. There are only 2 rna vaccines so we may see a difference in the future. All vaccines *reduce* hospitalisations, death and transmission.

@MrTWatson @blindscribe the vaccines do work but not how the media advertised it. The vaccine trains your body to fight. The training is only useful if your body gets invaded. The virus is always evolving. Infecting more people gives it more of a chance to mutate in a way that our body cannot see it. Vaccines don't increase the mutation rate. It is different to antibiotics, they directly attack bacteria, while vaccines only mimic viruses to train your body.

@Snoro New Zealand with all its Earth quakes! At least Tasmania is on the list.

@phryk then permissive licences are not FOSS. I think that's why capitalists prefer MIT and use 'open source', no freedoms involved.

The future of food: Can you eat to save the climate?

From complex labels to opaque sourcing and unclear carbon impact, consumers find it hard to know if their food choices are environmentally sustainable.

I tried to watch an old tonight and my PS3 is not working. So I tried Windows, Mac, and Linux and nothing has the codec to play the disc! Can you even buy a Blu-ray nowadays? I was able to watch Blu-rays a few years ago but now everything has lost support.

@cantinto@eldritch.cafe checkout your library. They may have an ebook or audio book service where you can loan digital books.

@be Alpine Linux also has a good webpage for their packages

@talon @charlag @Mayana wow, reading that issue. I see why building for accessibility first is important. What a mess they got themselves into!

@grumpysmiffy I changed my master branch to devel and it's all fine with Gitlab. Does Github require it to be main?

@ParadeGrotesque @rysiek@mastodon.technology @alcinnz they can create a file manager to do everything they want. It'll just look like a cockpit and it'll be way harder to learn than bash.
I tried apps that batch files and they are always too much work to use and the skills don't translate anything else.

@blueberry @be how far back is old? Is the latest LTS version enough and to cover 98% of active systems?
(Chrome+Safari 😱 in web land)
Maybe for your project state what you are willing to support. Including up to the latest Arch build?
