You don’t even need hardware for it. Barrier is a software solution.

Is that a LAW in your pants or are you just VERY happy to see me?

Also, the quickest way to get new software versions, in most cases.

Aluminum doesn’t belong anywhere near food. Get a stainless moka pot!

Surely, if nobody is using the software, then there’s no incentive to keep making it.

Making a tool you or the company you work for need yourself, fun, learning, community, doing good, showing off, status, being remembered, (even if it’s just in a circle of 10 people)…

Marketing generates interest. Interest gets users. Users (hopefully) get donations and/or contributions to the project.

Irrelevant for the vast majority of open source projects, which will never be financially profitable.

why not be clear and avoid wasting people’s time as they try to figure out what exactly a project is about?

Maybe because the volunteers working on the project in their free time are programmers, not marketers or good communicators?
Also, they aren’t wasting anybody’s time by creating useful software and giving it away for free.

I realize I’m being confrontational towards you, but this mindset of demanding things from people who literally give away free stuff with no strings attached rubs me the wrong way, every single time. And this mindset is much too prevalent, even to the point of harassing, insulting and threatening open source devs for choices they make in their projects.

The devs owe you nothing. If you don’t like what they do, simply don’t use it.
There are other options out there, but they may come with a $23/month price tag.

Open Source software is not a product that needs marketing.
The devs making Gimp gain literally nothing from you downloading and using it.
Stop applying capitalist logic to one of the few aspects of life that haven’t been monetized yet.

They are the opposite of “set it and forget it”.
Probably the most maintenance-heavy distros out there.
They’re like Arch, if the Arch maintainers didn’t care about keeping the system working.

German is spoken in different versions by Germans, Austrians, Swiss, Luxembourgers and that one Belgian.

I speak the correct version.

It’s supposed to be Richmark Shuttleman

lol, just checked. ~/Documents doesn’t even exist on my machine.

I hope they make it in time for Debian 13 to include it.

Just a heads-up: Synaptic doesn’t come preinstalled on Debian or Ubuntu anymore.
It’s 25 years old software, and tends to behave weirdly when you try to uninstall multiple packages.

A gearbox is much smaller and lighter that what’s required for a diesel-electric setup.
Diesel-electric is used for big engines in ships and railroads, where the necessary torque would destroy a gearbox.

I also know a great guy for that!
He’s not a surgeon as such, but he’ll do it for free if you source the anesthetics and let him keep half.

3.7%. This number in no way depends on the affected area, your age, pre-existing health conditions, or any other factors.
It’s always exactly 3.7%.

Glad I could help. Otherwise you might have had to contact a licensed healthcare professional.

Gnome Maps is honestly really good!
Not everything has to be inside your browser.

ChatGPT is great for when what you’re looking for is the proper search term.
If I don’t know what term to google, I can describe what I’m looking for and then nudge the bot in the right direction till it spits out the term.

AFAIK it was the maximum amount of beard allowed for soldiers at the end of World War 1, because of the gas masks.
So millions of men returned from the war with that moustache.
