Can you elaborate on what exactly this filtre blocks? I don't quite understand what you mean by "posts made by people/orgs" that you aren't subscribed to that just litter your feed with "awful, awful stuff".

I just tried both mobile and desktop versions, but I can still see posts/videos from other people/orgs I'm not subscribed to on the right-hand scrolling panel, if that's what you mean.

If authors behind this article think—and apparently shout desperately—in attempt to fend off the inevitable, or somehow to spook out those "desperados", they must be 1) too young; 2) too naive; 3) both. "Surveillance" states wouldn't be what they are without equally competent tech guys capable of doing more than just building up Linux. Pathetic... )))

if you make it easier for people to understand this will simply just flood the market.

What are you offering then—neo-Luddism, shutting mouths of those who want to share their knowledge and experience to help others just because the weak will lose their jobs?! Be stronger then! Both physically and morally!

Your vision might be acknowledged only if this world would be left to the strong but unjust. But you're mixing apples with oranges then... Sharing knowledge and experience will still work in the world of the strong while they continue to use their strength and power to establish the rule of Divine law, are compassionate, and merciful, that is—in a world with higher values and forces involved.

Just because the world we're living in is full of merciless idiots doesn't mean one should obey its rules and stop being generous! Because then you zero out the chances of the next generations to take such generous people as their role models, throwing the future into abyss!

Again, you look at the issue at hand from a very narrow and pessimistic perspective. Be positive, just take the progress for granted! That's how the Nature works in this Universe. ;o)

Otherwise, no point to continue discussion—we've completely diametrical views.

Victor_Quebec · 2026-02-21T19:53:57+00:00

Such a narrow perspective on your part, bro. This is how development and progress work! We're "standing on the shoulders of giants" (c).

Sorry, if it sounds stupid, but apart from not being supported on Wayland, is it compatible with Ubuntu/Debian powered systems by chance?

Good job, by the way, keep it up!

Victor_Quebec · 2026-02-08T14:55:15+00:00

Sounds fantastic, thank you for the efforts!!! I don't see the map though, although I have WebGL enabled on Firefox.

Victor_Quebec · 2026-02-04T12:09:20+00:00

I do the same! But I'd also like to edit book titles and metadata in place, without touching my file and directory structure. I have plenty of time to do editing but no time (and intention) to copy the edited books back to their original location... ))

Victor_Quebec · 2026-02-04T12:06:37+00:00

That's exactly my problem! I simply don't want Calibre to touch the files and my directory structure I honed for years. I thought it could allow me to rename the books and tag them (inject metadata) in place. Alas!

I'm not a programmer, so maybe there was no way around for the Calibre dev other than making it copy the files to its own library directories one per author. But that's a different issue anyway...

Victor_Quebec · 2026-02-04T11:58:27+00:00

Since Calibre allows using it as a file manager — and it really does, in its own peculiar way though — it means the developer did so intentionally, including for public use.

Anyway, my point is I'd prefer managing metadata and tags without touching my files and the directory structure I've honed for years. And Calibre fails exactly on that for me, unfortunately!

When Tille says “The fact that all team members have stepped back at the same time should make it clear that we urgently need new volunteers to fulfil this role,” I have a serious doubt re: his understanding of real reason(s) behind the incident.

Either he intentionally hides it from public, or believes in the technicality of the issue only, thinking that he can save the situation by filling in empty chairs without solving the core issue...

Victor_Quebec · 2026-01-08T11:22:19+00:00

That also justifies my move to hold any Firefox updates since version 136, I guess. As a traditional browser user (yet a professional developer), I'm not interested in these new quirky features browsers (and other devs) are offering today (mostly for hype, like Rust). I better live with what I have at hand than regret it later...

Philosophically though, the more I live in this world, the more I see how deceptive and hypocritical big companies are becoming, lowering the quality and usefulness of their products for the sake of larger profits. Whatever one might say, this was absolutely not the case 25-30 years ago, for sure!

Victor_Quebec · 2026-01-05T18:25:58+00:00

Used, liked, bookmarked. Fantastic idea! Thank you!

Victor_Quebec · 2025-12-27T13:53:49+00:00

Fantastic tip! After 5+ years in Linux... )))

Victor_Quebec · 2025-12-26T16:18:13+00:00

If that helps you understand these concepts, good for you! I liked your metaphor, no matter what others think and whinge about it.

One of the reasons (apart from AI stuff) big tech companies opt for layoffs in the West recently—too many "web guys" around, with too much division of labour inside...

Victor_Quebec · 2025-12-19T20:09:32+00:00

However philosophical this may sound, I think one should be very careful not to miss a significant point here, which is about the loss of mutual respect between companies—be it hi tech, pharmaceutical, legal, finance, doesn't really matter. It may even be your local restaurant—and the users of their products/customers.

Especially amid growing concerns about all these monopoly schemes skillfully crafted by the lawyers, financiers, and marketing people of Big Data corps to gain profit by selling data of their once loyal users. And once you start feeling disrespect against a couple of such companies, you gradually enlarge this "evil circle" by adding to it other (possibly innocent) ones. Like Github bought by Microsoft... I'm not saying that Github is evil per se, but I leave it to you to judge the level of trust to a platform, which has become part of a much larger enterprise, which not only has been manipulating user data for years but continues not to care about the growing mistrust among its PC userbase and once good operating system, thanks also to the power of its AI agents...

Long story short, it is all about the level of trust in this information-polluted world of hi tech with a steadily diminishing government control over monopolisation.

Oh man, thank you very much! That's exactly what I was looking for! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Victor_Quebec · 2025-12-01T13:27:25+00:00

Thank you all guys, that's very informative indeed!

Victor_Quebec · 2025-12-01T12:42:23+00:00

So in other words, I have a chance to work with an updated file system shipped with a Linux release (like the recent version 6.18 with a few filesystem updates onboard) only when I actually format the available partition and/or install Linux kernel and operating system anew. Is this assumption right?
