I’m not in a rush to test releases I can’t get through the main F-Droid repo, that’s all. I think the only app I have a extra repo added for is NewPipe. I just prefer to wait for the F-Droid team to vet releases just like I prefer to grab things through the package manager of whatever Linux distro I’m working in.

Thanks. I prefer to use a package manager and have some vetting done before installing anything.

I see. Yeah, I guess I just figured it would take ages because Thunderbird isn’t that big a team and K9 was like one person (apart from community contributions).

Is the ‘Thunderbird for Android 8.0b1 (beta)’ release available through F-Droid?

How long should it have taken?

What would make it better than NewPipe?

They made it. They’re in the delta quadrant.

More orange people.

Aside from saving places what else can you do with google maps that can be exported?

This works for me on Firefox and Fennec.

Don’t be coy. You know very well I’m speaking about the US SWP. Here is a quote from an April 29 article in The Militant:

The greatest danger to Jews and all the oppressed in the region and worldwide is the call for a ceasefire before Hamas has been defeated and its leadership and command structures demolished.

I ask again, do you support an immediate ceasefire? If so how does that square with your ongoing support and promotion of an organisation, the US SWP, that is opposed to an immediate ceasefire?

The question is not whether you support ‘peace in the Middle East’ or whether an organisation whose articles you share and whose election campaign you promote supposedly supports ‘peace in the Middle East’ so please try answering the question posed above directly.

How does this square with not just supporting but promoting an organisation that is opposed to that?

Do you support the call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza?

You do realise you’re promoting a Zionist outfit right?

I would try a few Plasma based tiling scripts before switching to anything like Sway or i3. You’ll get a good idea of whether it’s for you. Later on if you find you need more control over the tiling you could switch to a dedicated tiling window manager.

I’m using Karousel in Plasma which is scrollable tiling. You can install and enable it like so:

Go to System Settings > Apps & Windows > Window Management > KWin Scripts > select Get New… > In search enter Karousel and wait for it to show up > select Install > select the latest version (as of now karousel-0-9-4.tar.gz).

There is a companion desktop effect that also needs to be installed like so:

Go to System Settings > Apps & Windows > Window Management > Desktop Effects > select Get New… > enter Geometry Change in search > select Install > select the latest version (as of now kwin4-effect-geometry-change-1.3.tar.gz).

Karousel and Geometry Change have configuration options and Karousel also has keyboard shortcuts (view here) which you may need to update to your liking. I don’t have a need to configure anything in Geometry Change as the default animation settings are fine. For Karousel I tend to adjust the various spacing and gaps options along with making sure the shortcuts I want are configured. That link above has a short video of what Karousel looks like in action.

But this a biblically accurate depiction of an angel. God should be proud.

Franken fidget spinner.

For anyone unaware, Harry does indeed become a cop (auror).

You can get Gentoo up and running pretty quickly by following the handbook. From memory it’s easy to miss one or two clear instructions because the styling of the handbook can add more eye-catching weight to the explanation than the actual commands. So be sure to re-read areas where things don’t seem to working out.

Gentoo also has a binary repo if you don’t plan to stray from whatever installation profile defaults you start off with.

I can’t confirm a simple server install of Gentoo is somehow more lean than any other distribution.

I’ve used gentoo-install with success previously although I don’t know how up to date it is.
