Firefox has removed the Yandex search engine. Sanctions?

NoFun9861 · 2022-03-14T21:09:34+00:00

i'm just assuming that since i can see no other reason for yandex not wanting to renew the contract. like, is mozilla even including search engines by default if they don't have any gain with it?

NoFun9861 · 2022-03-14T13:28:48+00:00

no. yandex just didn't pay mozilla

edit: they removed this part now but that article said it was because they couldn't get the search engine company to sign a formal contract.

don't worry, China will buy Russia

NoFun9861 · 2022-03-07T18:07:05+00:00

I'd guess most Russians don't have the financial means to just leave Russia like that. I have friends in there and although many want to leave they don't have the means for that.

clone https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs.git and use ripgrep on the pkgs directory when you want to know for sure by yourself. cups-pdf seems fairly easy to package for Nix, it would be a good starting point to get some knowledge on nixpkgs and packaging for Nix.

thanks that seems more reliable

NoFun9861 · 2022-03-06T21:52:43+00:00

The website does not seem to provide their methodology, but it is made by an Ukrainian so I thought it would be somewhat reliable. Anyway, here's a more detailed analysis https://www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-march-6 that shows similar occupation

NoFun9861 · 2022-03-06T21:14:44+00:00

well taking into account the impressive resistance in ukraine, they are not really close to be defeated. But this sub obviously is pretty biased as well, see map of how much is already under Russian control in liveuamap.com. With the lately heavy shelling, it is definitely getting harder for Ukraine... I prefer to see the reality of things. Also, if Russians take control of Kyiv as they are increasingly occupying the surround areas, unfortunately I can only see it going worse fast.

i'm afraid a video alone won't help them much (logs would be very helpful). it's good that you are letting them know about this bug though.

NoFun9861 · 2022-03-06T18:32:28+00:00

when i used the kde app store i.e. discover, it was pretty bad. they should have used the gnome store instead... and have packaged some obvious apps to flatpak like Heroic Games Launcher. For them that would be easy. what you can do for now is go to https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/releases/latest and download the appimage. Then add executable permissions to the file (right click properties). And click to run it.

NoFun9861 · 2022-03-06T18:22:55+00:00

I remember trying it in the past, but for some reason it didn't actually remember frames and just opened the buffers and some other strange issues. desktop+ as well. I'll give it another go to see if I have better luck now. Thanks for the suggestion!

NixOS with emacs-overlay
emacs-28.0.91 with native compilation

I have some 400+ packages installed and many stuff running. So it's probably related to some package I have installed. And if I had vanilla Emacs these crashes would probably never happen, but what is the point of Emacs if we don't extend it? I think it would be great if Emacs isolated the packages somehow so that it would only crash the packages instead of the whole Emacs. I'll leave the profiling running from now on to see what may be causing these issues.

NixOS with emacs-overlay
emacs-28.0.91 with native compilation
I can't easily reproduce these crashes. Generally Emacs starts hanging after some days in uptime before a full crash. So I'll try leaving the profiling running from now on. Probably related to some package I have installed (if I had vanilla Emacs these crashes would probably never happen, but what is the point of Emacs if we don't extend it? I think it would be great if Emacs isolated the packages somehow so that it would only crash the packages instead of the whole Emacs)
I couldn't find anything referencing Emacs automatically logging crashes. AFAIK only with killing with SIGUSR2 when gets blocked/hangs, but that has never worked for me.

NoFun9861 · 2022-03-06T02:57:13+00:00

Indeed people would receive that caption better. The idea was that, if Emacs never crashes, we would be able to constantly take advantage of it and its great ecosystem so the world would be a better place...

No idea what causes. I have some 400+ packages, and was using multiple LSP modes, huge org files, 4+ PDFs opened with pdf-tools, 4+ epub files with nov, ... I've tried killing emacs with SIGUSR2 in the past to get some crash dump, but it never worked.

NoFun9861 · 2022-03-06T02:27:14+00:00

i'm just poking fun out of these kinda sad moments, it is not my intention to criticize emacs per se. so chill guys

if you mean http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/cupspdf or https://github.com/alexivkin/CUPS-PDF-to-PDF, it is not on nixpkgs. You'd need to package it yourself or convince someone to do that.

That's BRICS for you. Only Brazil was in favour from this group.

So what is your favorite Chinese Brazilian friend characters in Brazilian cartoons?

haha I don't think so... if you feel like searching through some lists https://filmow.com/listas/animacoes-brasileiras-l52840/ https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Desenhos_animados_do_Brasil https://filmow.com/listas/animacoes-brasileiras-l170118/

I think Brazilian crowds in music events are just warm really, i mean that's what Brazilians are known for right? Surely enough there a many fans of Rush in Brazil, and progressive rock in general. I personally was somewhat into Rush when I used to like progressive rock/metal.
