It may be disabled in python311 for the same reason it is disabled in python314: Commit "lang/python314: split out _sqlite3 again." to avoid a dependency loop through ICU. You can still try to compile from the ports tree (not poudriere) with...

That's an amazing game, but the career mode is not very good. It's really more of a space simulator with more accurate physics than a game. It's one of the few games in which I have more than 1000 hours. Kitten SA looks very interesting. I'm...

The only game I've played for the past 12 years: Kerbal Space Program. The successor was a dud, but there's another studio working on Kitten Space Agency and it looks like it's even better. I'm putting together a purpose-built PC just so I can...

Not to mention they didn't have microtransactions.

I was not even aware of this possibility, at most I use these menus to change the size. And no, it is not working in my computer. For full screen, vertical or horizontal expansion of widgets, I use twm.

Did you ever, in elementary, or maybe junior high, get one of those sorta tests where they give you a bunch of instructions. First one is read all instructions before starting, Then, the last instruction is only do steps 3, 7, and 9. Those used...

In my opinion, "Desktop Environments" are what we seek when we are used to a common commercial offering, such as Windows or Macintosh, and we don't want to read a book to turn the computer on. But once you realize the extent to which everything...

<keybind key="W-A-m"> <action name="ToggleMaximizeFull"> </action> </keybind> is what I use in my $HOME/.config/openbox/rc.xml to Maximize any window, whether terminal, browser, or anything else. That should work in LXDE as...

Wow, as I've said in the past, these forums can derail a discussion the same way any discussion gets derailed on It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. lost_in_c to be pedantic, it's actually, The lady doth protest too much,methinks, though popular...

I guess that kind of crept in around 2010? I suppose any large collection of software that people rely on is ripe for corruption. That said, outside of DEs and into smaller things, there was a slight trend for authors of i.e cracks for windows...

What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand, there's only one desktop environment for UNIX'ers: Common Desktop Environment 😁😛

I was wondering about something lie service -e or sysrc -a.

I think your question is: If you started "periodic daily" right now, which of the tasks would be run (or weekly or monthly or ...)? And perhaps even with what parameters? Sadly, there is no such option. You can read the periodic program itself...

Nice idea! I would elaborate a little more on this.

Zig bindings do better than others, but still a little fiddly. But the cost is that the language is almost as unsafe as C. It has allocators and defer but pointers can still absolutely dangle. But... ZigCC is actually a very decent packaging of...

Your problems are much bigger than "main" requiring "int". All functions have return types. Including main, which is just a function. All functions have arguments. It is bad style to leave the argument empty; better to make it function(void)...

The base one is trimmed down. Also, there are many different ones in ports.

Well, there is a huge advantage to configuring via config files: you can check that config file into git and install it with a script on any new machine you log in to.

Rust, Zig, C++, Go... I think if too many suggestions are made, it will likely mentally fatigue developers and reaffirm C as their sole focus.

It's not just a matter of coming up with a better language. It is also a matter of managing a mixed-language system. And that doesn't seem to go very well for the Linux kernel in the case of Rust. Zig is said to have more streamlined FFI.

"I think we never landed on the moon." "I think vaccines are used to control people." "I think the CIA organized 9/11." Opinions are not necessarily different from myths. (and of course this is my list post in this thread).

Nah; I heard vague mentions of 11 implementing it in the kernel but don't recall anything specific. Someone on MDL mentioned this:

Those settings are valid for the current session only, they are not saved in a configuration file. As you might have guessed, all permanent settings must be defined in a configuration file. It's possible to configure LXDE to open certain...

What's wrong with using C?

It's a low-level system programming language, so that is by design. If you need more features, you write them yourself. That was always the C philosophy.

Underfeatured language. Just look at bsearch and qsort and their interfaces with lots of casting.

This solution worked when the problem recurred on another system.

Just like in any other place where a variable name is immediately followed by some other text. Just wanted to clarify (that this is not heredoc specific).

This patch doesn't work for me. I compiled x11-wm/plasma6-kwin with this patch enabled and switching to VT from Wayland freezes as before (I even rebooted my system to be sure).

The last two.

What mythes? The last sentence?

One of the first things I do on firefox or any offshoot is change the search engine to startpage. (There's an extension for it).

Cross posted from another thread, as Rust has become an important topic here:

Do you know which part of Windows uses Rust? Honest question, Microsoft is not forthcoming. All I can find is this, but vendors aren't using it due to the testing / validation / certification frameworks are not in place.

I see that myths are still alive and kicking.

Anti-AI scripts are a necessity for websites nowadays. The script usually requires some relatively complex equations to be solved by the connecting client and usually some scripting (e.g. Javascript) is needed. For an individual client, the...

I just came across this comparison of various Window Managers which some people may find interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments

FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE, LXDE after recently doing freebsd-update and pkg upgrade . I was just getting familiar with the options available under C-LMB and C-RMB. Selecting Full Screen does create a check mark although other selections do...

You must understand, there are many variables here which we do not understand or are aware of. Instead of writing things like "I can no longer get Full Screen," it would be helpful if you could write the specific actual steps you tried, and what...

I updated twice from 14 to 15 using pkgbase and I never needed to. And the "official" wiki page doesn't even contain that word.

Try swcursor as already suggested, of course without the amdgpu line and with the correct driver you're using.

I tend to agree. I believe I'm older than you and my Windows experience dates back to the 16 bit era, Windows 3.0. My last Windows-only system was running W95beta, installed from a CD I got with a printed magazine and that was a massive help...

FreeBSD would not be as good without this FreeBSD forum. I don't think I would be as happy if just left to the OS itself and the docs. Whilst the docs are great, I often think it is difficult to get by in the event of problems without the help...

ssh-copy-id fixed the problem, suggesting a key or permissions issue.

We may be misunderstanding each other (or maybe I'm just misunderstanding, which is more likely) I mean that I would hope for something saying to upgrade, run pkg update (and something added to bring it from 14.x to 15) or, more likely, I think...

Yes, it says nightly in my dwm's equivalent of taskbar. It shows if I do help=>about as 140.0.4esr. (As you already saw). It's been pretty stable for me. I *think* though my aging memory could be wrong that very rarely, after an update, it...
