Expanding on this, we could make it so that root must use ed(1) to edit files?

Thank you! I will keep those things in mind!

What are the things to consider when writing an app that works well for e-ink devices? I’m asking because I have a project in mind but at this point I’m just trying to figure out best practices when it comes to the software and things to be aware of. Any good advice that you have learned?

For JavaFX I ended up putting both JDK and JavaFX in my home dir and pointed vscodium to the right paths, I could get programs to compile but for some reason it would not let me open windows from inside, complaining that DISPLAY was not set or available iirc, even though I did set the env variable inside. Either way, I’m not ready for this container work-flow. Though I suspect that I could get used to better practices. Do you install git and your editor of choice separately in all dev containers? Like, how much of the tooling should be inside or on host?

About a year ago I started experimenting with the whole container-based workflow thing. I don’t know how much time I’ve spent on setting up various programming environments, and there’s always hurdles like getting a flatpak editor have access to java and actually be able to run javafx programs. And with distroboxes, what if my code needs access to a database that is started in a docker container on the host system, do I install docker inside the distrobox? I’ve had so many configuration issues. Every time I try I come back to debian stable and it feels like home.

Isn’t it more satisfying to just not buy a Tesla? That people choose not to.

That seems like a good way, to give the user the option. In your opinion, are these algorithms transparent enough to understand or even verify for regular users?

Same, I just wanted to get out of the US market. It’s not even about how the stocks perform or about making money. Even if a good opportunity to buy presents itself in the future I will never buy US stocks as long as they are sinking deeper into fascism.

A common threat like climate change has not been very effective sadly.

3 is a feature to me. The “algorithms” seem to create bubbles, and I want to decide myself.

I do this with my girlfriend sometimes. Not sure how it started, but once in a while now one of us says “hey, wanna touch eyes?” and then we touch eyes. It’s actually not easy, you have to find the right angles.

I don’t mind changes, but I want to be able to decide when they happen. Maybe I’m just traumatized from the last time I used a rolling release distro and suddenly Gnome 3 landed and replaced Gnome 2. I did not like that.

As a long time debian user, I have my eyes on Leap. I value stability (in the unchanging functionality sense) over latest versions.

Tumbleweed or Leap or something else?

For Sweden specifically that could be tricky at the moment with our current government.

The sentiment on r/wallstreetbets is that “we’re cooked”, but the market is still “running on hopium” that Trump will fold.

We always need more nurses in Sweden, I imagine it’s the same in other countries too.

I like the debian way with a separate repo for the non-free things needed for the hardware to function, so it’s not all or nothing. I want my wifi to work, but beyond things like that I only want free software.

I like it this way. When you say old, I hear “the environment is predictable”. What works today won’t break in a week because an update changed functionality of something. As long as I have hardware support, I don’t need the latest packages for what I do.
