Whoever can afford, please support @Kdenlive kdenlive.org/en/fund/ - I have made a small donations too. They are creating the best video editor that's also trade-free. Wonderful project. Using it fully for the TROM II documentary that will be around 6h long and of course freely available for all.

There is a 4th option: you are a dog that barks and you don't want to say anything. Woof Woof. What was your point, doggy? Try to express yourself so maybe I understand you.

This is the only somewhat non-barking of yours "you... think people fight because of some ideology". To that I can answer: humans fight on this planet because of many reasons, most (if not all) of them are nonsensical/not-necessary based on artificial borders, ideology, lack of resources (despite having a global abundance of stuff), and so forth. Most of the time it is a problem of trade. Here I wrote 2 main books about it:

The Money Game and Beyond tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-d…
The Origin of Most Problems tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-d…

WOOF! :)

TROMjaro 2022.09.30 (important fix) https://forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-2022-09-30-important-fix/102

QT apps stopped working...but we provide a fix. Plus we achieved the holly grail :D - we do a better sync now across libraries (gtk and qt) and support font syncing too! Check it out! #tromlive

We need to release another quick ISO because most of the QT apps stopped working. To make this not too long, we use 2 packages that allow for the sync between GTK and QT in terms of theming, namely qt5-styleplugins and qt6gtk2.

Wow this is yesterday's DART spacecraft impact on an asteroid, to test if we can change their directory, in case of ... you know, one of them coming towards earth:

The have a video form the spacecraft itself that the Internet is full of, but I like this one better. You can see the impact. Humans should focus on this rather than stupid nothing politics, and football games, and competitions between them, and making money and all that shit...

friendica (DFRN) - Link to source

Politics....something we really don't need. We need a system that cares for humans, at least starting with their basic needs provided to them without any strings attached (trade-free). If politics was meant to be a group of people who can organize society and take such decisions, then .... well....it is for sure not that. It is a way for politicians to get richer, for them to be the puppets of big corporations, for endless fights and empty promises. A nothing game.

We need no politics. We need to take care of people. This will cascade into better behaviors, newer self-organizing organizations that can do a lot of good, and so forth.

Never voted, never will. Never really paid much attention to that circus.

Love these new "AI" that are used for practical stuff such as upscaling images and coloring them. This is an image with me, a very old one:


Quite bad quality.
With trade-free Upscayl (desktop app for Linux) I can make it a better quality:

Finally with palette.fm I can colorize it:

Such a difference!

Upscayl works with your hardware, and I was so surprised it used my Nvidia fully, so it was super fast! palette.fm does not seem to have its code as open source and relies on their own servers for all processing, making that quite slow. Open Source it my friend!

In any case, I like this!

I wish they both can merge and be part of your default Image Viewer as an addon. That'd be super useful!

There are two major issues with our Friendica instance and I suspect they are not limited to our instance: 1. I cannot unfollow anyone... and 2. No RSS feeds work. This makes Friendica very hard for me to use and unreliable. All started since the last update I think. The first issue seems to be fixed for the next release based on this github.com/friendica/friendica… . But the RSS one is still a mystery github.com/friendica/friendica…

@Hypolite Petovan you guys planning to release a stable one this month?

Oh noooo BBC Frozen Planet vertical video ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=VwdwT-Mg1D… - what an atrocity! Vertical videos is the last bit of the retardation-nation. I hope they won't make full documentaries in this format.

Today I updated 3 laptops and a tablet to the latest TROMjaro, using our packages. Some of these laptops were not updated in like half a year. It was not that difficult despite having to add the chaotic aur to 2 of them, and for all to add our new packages. For some it was quite smooth. But things should be far far easier from now on because of our new packages that are basically pushing most of our custom updates directly to people's computers. I love TROMjaro and how stable it has become. Plus how functional.

Lots and lots of work for the so many projects that we have....but now my to-do list is quite skinny. Am going to start the work on TROM II again these days. And continue to work on it .... I hope so.

LUT: Linux Mint 21 (good) videos.trom.tf/w/dHq2G4SY9eAUH…

Finally a distro that does well in terms of usability. Not great. But good. I know these videos may be boring but there is a lot to learn from them. I am testing things that every distro should hard-code into their essence. And it helps me make TROMjaro better.

LUT: Linux Mint 21 (good)

Linux Mint is doing ok. Better than the rest for sure. But there are some things that still make this distro less user friendly. And these things can be fixed.

Linux mint is one of the most stable and reliable distros I've tried so far. It does lack the app availability of AUR, but if you don't install a whole lot of apps then you could find most of what you need here.

And BTW, now you see how flatpaks can take up gigabytes of disk space for a single app. TBF, I've heard that this size issue gets better as you use flatpaks more, but even then for the avarage user its crazy to see such a small app taking GBs of space.

I cannot see any posts from any of my RSS feeds in Friendica for the past month or so. I reported it here github.com/friendica/friendica… - might be a bug. But be aware of that....

If you use TROMjaro but did not implement the Chaotic AUR yet, please do it. It is super easy, see forum.tromjaro.com/t/use-the-c…

Use the Chatic AUR

If you are an older TROMjaro user and did not yet implemented the Chaoric AUR into your system, we highly recommend you to do that. Our Library of apps also relies on it. It is super easy to implement.

FINALLY! I wanted to do this for a year now. And we did it! Now TROMjaro is a lot better and much easier for us to maintain it. If you use TROMjaro you need to read this release's notes! Enjoy!

A very important TROMjaro Release https://forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-2022-09-23/99

We worked a lot to make it so much easier from now on to keep your TROMjaro updated without making manual changes like you had to do before. This is mostly thanks to the wonderful @Roma and @Rokosun who did a wonderful job.

ENJOY! #tromlive

This is a really important release because it makes everything so much easier for all TROMjaro users and for us.

Peertube finally introduced in the release 2 things I asked for and really wanted joinpeertube.org/news#release-…

  • Autosync from youtube or other platforms
  • Ability to not allow resolutions higher than whatever you select as admin.

Awesome!

One little thing.... @PeerTube you have used a screenshot from our instance videos.trom.tf to showcase the old and new registration module. Ours as the "old" version. However we have a very customized theme so it does not make much sense to use our instance in that regards. Can be confusing. Just saying :D - Otherwise awesome job ofc!

We should update our instance soon!

We are getting closer and closer to releasing a new TROMjaro ISO that will come with some really useful features for every TROMjaro user. In short, the changes we usually recommend for people to do (most of them at least) for each of our release, will be now pushed by us to everyone automatically. Thanks to @Roma and @Rokosun for the great work they've done for these past days.

As soon as we release this new TROMjaro ISO, the focus will shift once again on the TROM II documentary.

TROM is alive. And it has been since 2011. And we will continue to be. We plan a new TROM Meeting for the next year. We will let you know more details towards the end of this year. #tromlive

Great amount of wok on TROMjaro these days. @Roma worked like nuts! Then @Rokosun came to help. Both fantastic creatures. Our scripts look way better now. Before we had to run them every few seconds (bad), now we trigger them based on relevant changes of the system. This result in instant actions.

So, let me repeat, we are able to sync the system's theme, icon pack, and font, across GTK, GTK + LIbadwaita, Qt, QT5, QT6, and Flatpaks (the ones that support it). This is USABILITY, not simply fancy shit. And it works. Instantly. Makes the desktop fuckin' sane.

So bloody happy with TROMjaro. It is unfortunate that so few people know about it...but well...we will try to make it more visible...what can we do!? :D
