  • Sounds fantastic, but unfortunately none of the instructions for Debian-based, or the pre-compiled binary, or the building from source worked.

  • Fantastic person.

    Funny that the post closes with "thank you". So kind. I depend on K-9 Mail daily, so "thank you" from me doesn't cut the amount of indebtedness and gratitude I have to this person. Thank you! 🙏

  • Thank you! didn't know about that command.

  • Wine 10.2 suddenly broken (solved)

    Jump

  • Edit: explicitly installing 10.1 with

     
        
sudo apt install wine-staging=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-amd64=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-i386:i386=10.1~focal-1 winehq-staging=10.1~focal-1

    worked.

    Thank you for the help!

    But I can't remove wine-staging, at least not via apt:

     
        
$ sudo apt remove wine-staging-i386
Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-i386 (= 10.2~focal-2)
                Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 10.2~focal-2) but 10.2~focal-1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

    So no go there. --fix-broken doesn't work either:

     
        
$ sudo apt --fix-broken install

    Any idea on how to remove Wine manually, bypassing apt?

  • The problem is that the whole apt system seems to be broken. It doesn't let me install other packages, and I can't even uninstall wine. So I wonder if any fixes from wine will work. It looks like this needs the user's manual intervention.

    but sudo apt --fix-broken install does not solve anything...

  • "Ethical and legal objections". The point in this case is that what's legal is unethical, and what's ethical is illegal. Analogous to other situations through history and countries, for example in the USA when it was illegal for black people to sit in certain parts of a bus, or in Germany when marriage with Jewish people was illegal.

    As human beings, it's always important to make the ethical choice.

  • Microsoft launches autonomous AI agents in November

    Jump

  • these autonomous agents represent the next step in the evolution of large language models (LLMs), seamlessly integrating into business processes to handle functions such as responding to customer inquiries, identifying sales leads, and managing inventory.

    I really want to see what happens. It seems to me these "agents" are still useless in handling tasks like customer inquiries. Hopefully customers will get tired and switch to companies that employ competent humans instead...

  • Appreciated if someone can explain what is the problem and its context in simple terms 🙏

    I understand the GNU "framework" is built on free, open source software. So I don't understand how one can "discover" that there were pieces of non-free software there... They were put there by mistake?

  • The current security philosophy almost seems to be: "In order to make it secure, make it difficult to use". This is why I propose to go a step further: "In order to make it secure, just don't make it". The safest account is the one that doesn't exist or that can't be accessed by anyone, including its owner.

  • Just wanted to applaud the fact that you've come here asking people, rather than asking some large language model.
