Thanks. Good to know.

I did hear back from KDE, and they say this bug is being looked at in the Alpine Linux gitlab site: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/15496

Thank you for your straight forward and very succinct answer. I did peruse that site, but became confused by the various options that I found in it. If you could decipher the information on the site, and provide an actual link to where exactly I report bugs for postmarketOS packages, that would be appreciated.

I’m in Canada, and I bought a Fairphone 2 a few months back. It was shipped overseas from an unofficial dealer, since Fairphone itself no longer deals with the Fairphone 2, and it no longer provides replacement items for the Fairphone 2.

I installed LineageOS on it. It worked great. But recently the battery was showing signs of decay. I looked for a replacement, but nowhere could I find anything. The phone now is just a paperweight.

Granted, it was released almost 8 years ago. But, I think it’s a shame that it’s no longer supported. I do feel that, if replacements were even more feasible, that this phone of mine could have continued for even longer.

I have a Fairphone 2, and it has a headphone jack. However, newer phones don’t seem to include this, since most people now use Earbuds. https://shop.fairphone.com/tws-earbuds

When asked about a perceived ignorance in computers, the judge proclaimed, “I’m not ignorant about computers! In fact, just last week I finished Space Quest, and I’m now getting through Leisure Suit Larry!” The judge’s report, written using WordPerfect 5.1, is expected to be released soon.

I no longer buy any mock meat. Veggies that are unprocessed (with tofu as the lone exception since soy beans are kinda rough) are my choice now. So this doesn’t bother me.

I check into Reddit once in a while, but I mostly hang out here now.

Nuclear costs a huge amount. It does produce waste. There are still safety concerns regarding nuclear power, which only increase as our reliance upon it increases. Investing in renewable energy makes more sense.

The European Commission is being sued by environmental campaigners over a decision to include gas and nuclear in an EU guide to “green” investments.

Eight national and regional Greenpeace organisations including France, Germany and EU office in Brussels are asking the court to rule the inclusion of gas and nuclear invalid.

I totally support Greenpeace in this. Neither nuclear nor gas should be considered a “green” investment. Ia Aanstoot, the “18 year old climate activist”, is wrong to support the European Commission’s stance on this.

Which means she opposes what Ia Anstoot is saying. Thunberg does not view nuclear as a renewable in and of itself, and thus, like Greenpeace, she opposes EU Commission’s decision to include nuclear power in its classification system for sustainable finance (link).

I saw on the CBC last night a story of a restaurant worker who was fired because she wore a mask. That’s how bonkers we in Canada have become lately.

This is great. I’ve started training for a half-marathon, that will be in October. I’ve been vegan a few years, and before that a vegetarian for a few decades (I’m 58 now). One thing I’ve also done recently is eliminate salt from my cooking and also eliminate high salt prepared foods (including bread and prepared sauces) from my diet. And I’ve stepped up my intake of leafy greens and carrots and beets and whatnot (previously my focus was on starch and protein foods (rice/grains/beans/lentils etc). So, my blood pressure is now normal. But, there is a lot of propaganda about needing salt (and “electrolytes”) for long distance running. Meh. I’ve been fine so far. But I figure I’ll bring some celery sticks with me for the run in October.

Veganism is about animal rights and animal exploitation. If those things cannot be shown relevant, it’s not about veganism. A plant-based diet intended to lose weight and save the climate doesn’t especially have anything to do with veganism.

Does that mean that posts regarding “A plant-based diet intended to lose weight and [or] save the climate” are not welcome here since such a post surrounding those topics (or food talk or recipes) “doesn’t especially have anything to do with veganism.”?

Despite knowing this province’s rules, Toronto cycling advocate Alison Stewart says she regularly crosses early with the pedestrian signals.

“It’s much safer. It keeps me in front of car traffic, and gives me the chance to be seen as I cross,” said Stewart, director of advocacy and public policy for Cycle Toronto.

As a cyclist myself, I do agree with this. However, the article also mentioned the scramble intersection at Yonge and Dundas, and in that circumstance, I feel that cyclists should dismount and walk along with the other pedestrians. I feel that way because there are those crossing diagonally, and cyclists weaving in and out between walking pedestrians simply is not good. But, generally, if it’s just a regular crossing (and not a scramble) then yes, cyclists should be able to go early along with the pedestrians.

apt remove <blah>, or, and even better,

apt purge <blah>
