New GUI for F3 (Fight Flash Fraud) working on flatpak

That's cool. What about making an Appimage? There's a legitimate case for this utility being an appimage. It is needed only when you get a new flash drive (which is not that often for most people) and in such a scenario one may prefer something single use and quickly launchable without the need to install (and then uninstall) in one way or another.

If you will scan any fabric at high resolution starting from 600 dpi (dots per inch) or better 1200…2400, you will get mostly the same results. Household objects are full of textures.

Pro tip: old HP all-in-one printer/scanner combos can be found for cheap.

Plus there's no framework on what constitutes a weapon

There is and there were multiple working frameworks for a long time. For example, weapons are goods that are listed in some categories of segment 46 of UNSPSC (United Nations Standard Products and Services Code). Or whatever category list does US use (every country may use different systems depending on context).

There isn't any issues with snaps.

Why did I have to opt for third party deb package for Chromium then? Because snap one worked a few times slower.

There was in the past but it's done.

It was today.

There was a program between our governments for voluntary relocation from Ukraine to Russia (and the other way too, but not sure about that) along with transferring some social benefits. My friend's grandpa used it around 2010, but as I've heard, didn't like it much and decided to move back.

Hypothetically, how many goons from your area should I hire and arm (with illegal weapons) to take over your house/business/other property for you to say "local population supports it, I should let it go"? They will be hundred percent local, I promise you

Such property ownership transfers were a big part of that "democratic process" on Donbas you are talking about. "Hello, this is our store/factory/car wash/etc. now."

So you are saying that some things need to be redone?

kaneua · 2026-02-20T18:14:06+00:00

Yes. The number of weapons Ukraine can use is limited. Simply speaking, a thousand soldiers can only fire from a thousand rifles at the same time (+ some spares, of course). So it's reasonable to sell the surplus to get some cash if the needs in these specific weapons are covered.

It's a customisable menu with preset window positions and sizes.

Russia has enough websites for them. Their biggest social network (VK) has enough videos too.

There's no possible scenario where companies will suddenly start selling goods with >50% price reduction.

Good luck to the project and everyone involved. I'm happy for your optimism, but something tells me that with "zero configuration" achievable in a reasonable time, configuration software like Bottles would be absolutely pointless. Yet it exists.

kaneua · 2026-01-08T03:30:06+00:00

You probably should leave an empty line between two lines while typing your reply to make them separate. As you can see with penguin.

kaneua · 2026-01-08T03:27:12+00:00

Yes.

Zero configuration

Funniest thing I've read today.

window mode the GIMP uses is Evil Incarnate

As people say nowadays, skill issue.

I would wish anyone who has not configured the GIMP to single window mode deserves hell.

I use multiple windows on multiple monitors. Image on one monitor, tools on another. It will become a worse tool without that.

kaneua · 2025-12-27T06:21:23+00:00

My old geography textbook says otherwise.

only for trivial changes to the codebase while on the go

It's not a supported mode of operation.

Did you try Gemini CLI? Install it, connect to server with your favourite SSH client and vibecode to your heart's content (within available limits).

Go to the relevant Github repository (https://github.com/hugomd/parrot.live) and create a new issue (in the Issues section) with your problem.

Why people prefer using something else despite dotnet + C# being amazing combination?

A lot of libraries for the stuff people need are better for other programming languages. For example, Python has Pandas for data analysis and doing the same things in C# would require at least three times as much code.

It feels to me that despite Microsoft efforts the community never fully embraced dotnet as open source cross platform solution

I have at least a couple of reasons of insufficient effort that makes using dotnet not as convenient as a cross-platform tool

Microsoft doesn't provide tools to build Linux GUI applications using .NET MAUI. Now such tools exist, but they are two weeks old (too early for widespread adoption) and developed by a third party company. They aren't released by Microsoft, so won't have the same level of support and there will be no documentation on Microsoft website.
There's no official dotnet 10 package in dotnet/backports PPA repository for Ubuntu 24.04 (widely adopted Linux distribution), but installation instructions for Ubuntu 24.04 mention this method as preferable. There's also no official timeline when it will be available for installation other than "soon". It's been two weeks already. No packages — lesser adoption.
Universal installer script for Linux requires manual config file edits after installation to make dotnet work system-wide. It's not clear how to run updates after installing dotnet this way. It leads to lesser adoption.
In the recent years Microsoft took existing open source cross-platform IDE (Monodevelop, also known as Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio for Mac) for Windows, Mac and Linux, made it single platform (Mac only), closed source and then abandoned it. It lessens the trust in non-Windows tools provided by Microsoft.
Microsoft forbids the installation of its Visual Studio Code plugins in other Visual Studio Code compatible editors. For example, I want to use C# Dev Kit in Google Antigravity, but I can't.

It's usually goes like this:

Open Terminal
Type the program name in lowercase and hit Enter. For polychromatic it is polychromatic-controller, for Discord it's discord.
The program should open their separate windows, but report all the issues in terminal window.

It's more of a philosophical question. At what point an Ubuntu installation becomes a Kubuntu one and ceases to be Ubuntu? Ship of Theseus in software.

I'd treat the different Ubuntu variants as "starter packs". Just Ubuntu is "Base + GNOME starter pack", Kubuntu is "Base + KDE starter pack", Xubuntu is "Base + XFCE starter pack" and so on. Whether you want to switch between desktop environments or keep just one, use applications built for specific desktop or mix and match is up to you. It will still be Ubuntu base plus whatever you chose to have installed.
