Satire, sarcasm, and irony. The Holy Trinity
My personal mission is make everyone equal - I've got the chainsaw and the club of knowledge, it's finding the time that's proving difficult. I figured the first place to start was with myself - so I cut off half a leg and the top part of my head (equalised my height and IQ). The bad news is it hurt, I lost a lot of blood, and wind farms make me ill. The good news is I woke up in Texas (Go Doggies!) with a new job as a cop stationed outside the local methadone clinic, and I've made lots of new (noo) friends at the local church (gotta love talking in tongues and rolling around). The fact most are called Bubba makes remembering names a hole lott easieuh. I used to think evolution wasn't horizontal. Now I don't think and I know evolution is a commie/pinko/lesbian lie (I saw it on Fox so it must be true.
Life is a roller coaster - what you lose on the ride you gain on the merry-go-round (especially if you've been eating corn dogs).
It's all about the fact that, in order to do many or most of the things we want to do today, we have no choice but to give someone access to our data—but that almost everyone we could give that access to wants to (ab)use it to make money.
The need to outsource (transfer responsibility) is fast becoming the "techno Nuremburg defence". tl:dr is just a symptom of the blame disease.
If you can't take responsibility for the risks of your actions, or fail to understand and measure them - then you have no right to demand it of others. Especially if you're unable to see the irony of calling for a "major entity" to "keep our data safe" (sigh).
Summary (for the Too Lazy:Dumb and Recalcitrant): if you won't do it (security) yourself for any reason, you are doomed to failure of your own making. Wishful thinking and "but it (the thing wot I don't understand - because I prefer to put more effort into justifying doing nothing than into learning) should be simple/safe" is the mantra of sheep whose investment in magical "thinking" demands the shepherd "care" for them (but fail to see the shepherd's incentive).
Dan - that's a response to your comments which are a common "belief", not a criticism of you. A criticism of your belief is - if you find yourself in a position where you "believe" you have "no choice" but to cede responsibility you seriously need to ask yourself "do I really need to do x?" If you find the answer is yes you may find you've conflated "want" and "need".
I'm sorry some find that offensive. I'm not sorry it offends them. They should take responsibility for the result of them lowering the standards and empowering the oppressors (tl:dr? they have the wrong end of the offense).
The serial link has already been proposed - and that'd be my first choice (three wires, coil the ends of each one around a small nail, insulate with tape and carefully slide over the appropriate pins of the serial ports for cheap, one-time serial cable).
My second choice would be to simply image the drive - from there you have two variations:-
mount the image and recover the data
convert the image into a virtual machine (use VirtualBox).
I've had to do the same with several dozen boxes so I can keep supporting a chain of petrol stations that still use OS/2 and W3.1 to run all their inventory, training, wages, email, and accounting systems on old enterprise hardware. My first reaction was WTF, my second reaction was - holy crap, these guys made a smart decision years ago that still continues to work while saving them many thousands per install in hardware, software, training, and down-time. The customers only see the late POS and the cheap fuel prices. They've had various SOEs ready to roll-out as replacements since the early 90s - but so far they've proven correct in retaining what works.
Why does your comment have such a GNAA troll poster vibe?
What are you trying to say? The real question, based on that, and all your previous postings - is "Why does, Binary Larry, (lol, snortle, bitches) smell shit everywhere? Like you, the answer is simple "BinaryLarry" - it's because you have your head up your arse.
Actually, these icons were designed by Clippy the AI.
Nope. He was the graphics lead developer - till he got promoted to director of human resources. All icon design is now open source. Open sourced (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) to galahs. It used to be monkeys which they fed peanuts. But peanuts, and monkeys are expensive - so they were replaced with galahs that are fed crayons. Sort of avian Pollock - but much, much cheaper.
It's tough being a galah living on crayons and crapping on desktop for a living, so the poor bastards work nights designing web interfaces for online banking sites.
Ever wondered why those sites need a dozen different javascripts pulled from different sites? It's because galahs fed bad acid don't care much about security - they're too busy implementing flash advertising overlays and inserting Facebook/Twitter buttons (sigh).

I'm not familiar with a Fokyoo from Honda, but Honda Jazz used to be called Honda Fitta, they changed name when they found out that it means "cunt" in Swedish.
Also a bit silly since it only led to a light snicker anyway.

Thanks for lowering the standard, and - don't take that the wrong way.
P.S. got any good "freetard" rants? No, guess you're too busy adding up the value of your code contributions. Oh wait! You did a bug report (who's a clever boy?). Guess all those pointy headed developers owe you their first born now (sigh, and no - we owe you nothing).
What the fuck is up with you trolls repeating these stupid lies?
It's the job of the M$ sock puppet army. Just following orders. Likewise the instant tagging of your sensible question as Flamebait - coz that'll bury your post most effectively.
systemd may or may not have problems, but it demonstrably does not "ignore stderr, drop higher priority syslog messages, [or] ignore nonzero exit statuses".
If it does, or ever has done, any of these things where is the fucking bug report.
Oh you want facts? Kayne jumped on stage, and someone called someone a whore. (and North Korea attacked Sony and leaked all their emails coz, um... Vanilla Ice robbed stole someone's crap bicycle.
That's my part of the forum flooding done - can I haz my Paypal bonus pleese?
Hey look, there's Israel again (at least 3 times in fact). This Komodia/Superfish crap is likely Mossad sponsored.
Yep. Definitely Mossad. Coz who else would use Komodia as the certificate password. Not enough proof? The guy who runs Komodia used to be a programmer for Mossad. (till they gave him the boot for being a moron)
In other news, spyware modules in an attack against a movie studio prove it was North Korea - obviously pissed about an intelligent blockbuster satire that threatened to provoke a rebellion. Don't listen to those communists like Krebbs who pedal the SAAS malware lie. Still not convinced it's all a simple plot even an idiot with the attention span of a goldfish on amphetamines in a shopping centre sees right through? Those North Korean (commie bastards) used the same IP addresses to launch their attack (don't listen to the commie lies about how they are commonly used anonymous proxies)
Komodia is a woody word! And so is Disney! AND Komodia == comode == toilet. And we all know what Walt used glass tables for! Seven Dwarfs == Seven Secret Agencies! Those damn shape-shifting lizard people are pissing with us!
P.S. Do not believe those commie "false flag" lies either... (compilation time stamps can't be faked).
As the guy living in the local bus shelter told me "IT's all connected. And he would know.
Phil Collins held money in a swiss bank account. What a crook! Where does Phil Collins live? Oh right. Launsanne SWITZERLAND.And OMG, David Bowie had a bank account in Switzerland.... where he lives.
I'm not going to defend the rich musicians claiming to reside in tax advantageous locations (cough*Isle of Man*cough). Nor am I going to defend those who advocate revolution (wait till you see what the regime is trying to repress) and failed to study history (hint: France had three revolutions, technically 5) - and I'm definitely not going to defend those that complain from the comfort of their armchairs:-
while continually voting for major parties in the hope that optimism will overcome experience (or votes lost in a previous election to minor parties will set the agenda for following elections.
work for a wage (or worse, don't work) and expect the same returns as those that take risks and work for themselves (even if it's using daddies money).
Anarchy is not destruction - it's the opposite of outsourcing responsibility to others.
Enlightened self-interest is not shitting upstream, unenlightened self-interest is. Enlightened self-interest is creating a business that doesn't dump sewage upstream and marketing the non-polluting aspect to advantage. Unenlightened self-interest is demanding a bigger government (composed of people who claim/believe levying taxes = production) that will regulate sewage dumping - which is like hiring someone to train a cat not kill things.
Sheep is a good analogy, they are stupid, but they feed themselves (and they don't go around saying other species can't be bred to be stupid). So just keep bitching, I won't call you sheep. Don't take that the wrong way.
So did anyone actually stop to think that this guy stole bank details and sold them?
Yes, and no. Some of us thought "Maybe that's bullshit - let's check, before we believe the bank who makes it's money helping themselves to the profits from helping their clients break the law - 'cause, ya know, what if.... one crime gets lonely?" So maybe the question you ask should have been four questions:-
Did the guy try and sell the data about illegal activities?
And yeah - Phil Collins should go straight to jail for crimes against music (as should the rest of Genesis). Of course, if I thought he was a musician, like David Bowie, then spending the requisite amount of time in countries that charge him less tax on his complicated corporate tax structure than I would have to pay using obfscurated family trusts in my country, would be OK.
Yes, Digikam's good - so long as you use kde. I don't, but i put up with its annoying gnome incompatibilities because it's the best there is - and i've tried all the rest.
That doesn't make sense - "so long as you use kde" + "I don't".
How can it not make sense? Digikam's not good if you use Gnome. It's usable, but some functions don't work.
Does not parse??
I asked you to expand on your original point....
Since then, for the sake of completeness, I've installed (shudder) GNOME (on Debian STABLE, not Fedora as I'm too old to be comfortable with the hourly upgrades and sitting on the bleeding edge of almost working), and found no problems with any features. So again (gently) have you filed bug reports? (lest, despite imagining best intention you are just pissing on the furniture and complaining there was no toilet under your dick). Don't take that the wrong way.
As for GNOME incompatabilities - can you expand on the "incompatabilities" and conflicts you have (i.e. error messages, missing recommended pacakges (stuff don't work is not instructive when we don't know what you installed, and until now didn't even mention a distro let-alone a release)? Have you filed bug reports? (how do you expect "things to be fixed otherwise?"), please don't wail without making a modicum of effort to contribute to the effort to raise the standard.
Some things don't work. I've recently upgraded Fedora and i haven't tried Digikam with the new version, so i don't know if the problems are the same.
(relevance - and thanks for raising the standards?) As previously stated, I agree digiKam is the best of it's breed, and we'd like to make it better - your input (useful that is) would be greatly appreciated.
But previously, image "tool tips" (i.e., showing metadata etc when you hover the mouse pointer over a thumbnail) were blank, and the preview image was blank - which was rather annoying. No, i haven't filed bug reports as i haven't checked if they are bugs (by testing it with KDE) or just incompatibilities with Gnome. Digikam is a KDE application and it never claims to work with Gnome.
It doesn't have to work with GNOME - nor does it rely on the entirity of KDE - and, more importantly, I don't know where you got the falacious idea that it won't/shouldn't work with GNOME
small hint: "I didn't" is a form of agressive armchair apathy - it fixes nothing and helps no-one.
Yes, Digikam's good - so long as you use kde. I don't, but i put up with its annoying gnome incompatibilities because it's the best there is - and i've tried all the rest.
That doesn't make sense - "so long as you use kde" + "I don't".
As for GNOME incompatabilities - can you expand on the "incompatabilities" and conflicts you have? Have you filed bug reports? Or do you mean digiKam doesn't use the same libraries that GNOME does to perform vaguely similar tasks (QT/GTK, gfs/kio, etc, etc) - which would hardly be surprising.... Disclaimer: I used to have to use GNOME for work - and always found it's lack of configuration as ugly as the GNOME looks and way of doing things. But that's just a personal taste and programmers perspective.
I can confirm, as the result of several years daily use, that both KDE and digiKam work very well, and that digiKam works very well on boxen that don't have the KDE metapackage installed. e.g. on netbooks running xfce
Agreed on the digiKam to competition comparison - I've used Adobe products for years (result of client environments) - digiKam is better for my purposes (maintaining very large databases of client images for publication/web sites/promotion purposes).
That's about 40MB if installed with --no-install-recommends (assume the OP already has a browser) and unless you are using digiKam or one of it's dependencies (e.g. phonon) GNOME is not using more resources. Note that phonon itself is unnecessary for digiKam usage (it uses it for video sound) - just use equiv to replace it if it offends your inner GNOME.
digiKam, free, runs on the major platforms, has the feature you've asked for and all the features you haven't asked for but, based on my experience, you will need.
digiKam is an advanced digital photo management application for KDE, which makes importing and organizing digital photos a "snap". The photos are organized in albums which can be sorted chronologically, by folder layout or by custom collections.
Tired of the folder constraints? Don’t worry, digiKam also provides tagging. You tag your images which can be spread out across multiple folders, and digiKam provides fast and intuitive ways to browse these tagged images. You can also add comments to your images. digiKam makes use of a fast and robust database to store these meta-informations which makes adding and editing of comments and tags very reliable.
digiKam makes use of KIPI plugins for lots of added functionalities. KIPI (KDE Image Plugin Interface) is an initiative to create a common plugin infrastructure for digiKam, KPhotoAlbum, and GwenView. Its aim is to allow development of image plugins which can be shared among KDE graphical applications.
An easy-to-use interface is provided that enables you to connect to your camera and preview, download and/or delete your images. Basic auto-transformations can be deployed on the fly during image downloading.
Another tool, which most artists and photographers will be familiar with, is a Light Table. This tool assists artists and photographers with reviewing their work ensuring the highest quality only. A classical light table will show the artist the place on the images to touch up. Well in digiKam, the light table function provides the user a similar experience. You can import a photo, drag it onto the light table, and touch up only the areas that need it.
Note: it's not very stable if you insist on running it on Windoof. Very reliable on Linux, I haven't tried with OSX.
I think the idea that there's a built in audience for a non-systemd fork of Debian is entirely true, but it's loaded up with systemd flamewar hyperbole.
And it's falsely based on the idea that Debian doesn't support building any damn thing you like - including not using systemd (if you're the anti-woody word type). Unless your (not you) audience are sheeple who don't check a damn thing (a typical slashdot reader).
You may have noticed that the "story" submitter is Jaromil, so I suspect (extrapolating from experience) he's accompanied by his sock puppet army (do they imitate the NSA with forum flooding and FUD techniques, or does the NSA imitate them?)
I've always suspected that the NSA is actively involved in ceasing this opportunity to divide Debian, if not celebrating the number of senior Debian developers who have left due to the number of personal attacks and threats they've recieved from the "anti-systemd" "campaign"
Jaromil does some excellent graphic work - but his musical ability is more autistic than artistic, allowing for a broad spectrum of tastes... and his "software accomplishments" is less than truthful (his hasciicam program lacks truthful attributions to it's true basis, and his Dyneobolic distro is just one of very many "respins". Not a patch on Knoppix - which is the work of one person , or a shadow of Mint and other Debian derivatives. There have been many Debian fork attempts...
Some vaguely related trivia regarding your pseudonym. Unix was a joke name chosen by the developers of Multix - the operating system that was intended to "do everything", when their funding was cut. Eunuchs/Unix was the result.
Linux was the name given to Linux Torvalds to create a non-Unix compatible kernel.
They are two people (or one person and a bunch of sock puppets). Only one will has any history of coding - and not sufficient to port Debian.
What "they" want is money - for what? With the same accounting standards and transparency of dyne "smoke" obolic (whose code contributors all quit) - will it have the same non-existant "non-profit" status?
A more accurate name for the "forked Debian" would be "RaptureOS" - and it could use the Inca calendar for it's release schedule. Release a new version everytime the world ends.
yeah, yeah - I'll be wrong, "you wait and see"... OK, thanks I will.
How many other "forks" and "distros" start by asking for funds?
How many are founded on FUD? systemd will "takeover" (rape your girlfriend) is a Freedesktop.org/RedHat/NSA conspiracy, PID 0 is just wrong man, sysv (is well maintained) has no failing or short-coming, systemd is a monolith (and a ball of string), systemd is not UNIX (Linux is UNIX), systemd is wrong for servers (just ask our crusty sockpuppet/secret VUAs), systemd is only for desktop (sytemd ruined GNOME), Debian doesn't (already allow you to install a choice of several init systems) allow you to install sysv, Lennart is (part of a project) rude (to trolls)
How many FOSS distributions preaching open-ness are run by secret identities?
- on github!
Put a thousand car modders in the same garage and you won't make a Ford.
Why not create a Debian PureBlend?
- or a Debian distro?
Forking, for anyone who understands what that means - is a huge job for a large, qualified, community
Why not put some love into helping the dwindling sysv project?
Lastly - if MikeeUSA endorses it - how good can it be. (better than TempleOS?)
As for me - I'll wait and see. I run servers not the bleeding edge - systemd has some great features - when they've been deployed in Stable for a year I'll have a look. Certainly sysv has become a fucking liability. I'm sick of trying to trawl through dozens of logs across thousands of servers. Fuck plain text - another piece of FUD from forkdebian - systemd happily provides text logs to the usual places for those that only deal with one box (except the logs cover the entire boot to shutdown).
All you're doing is delinking from a search engine.
It's not just the link that's gone. Not the event/story/pictures/history. And when there's no record of it having happened it still happened - right? So all good. I always hated investigative journalism - and this should put a crimp on that!
[/sarcasm/satire]
No more futile that Stalin's censorship regime.
[cue orchestra to play Orwellian overtones]
If he ordered the record wiped of someone or something that offended him - that history effectively vanished for most people.
How is this not the same thing?
Hint: different dog, same leg action?
What do we call the European version of Google Web Search now? It will hardly qualify as a "search engine of the entire internet" except, perhaps to the hypercritical/normalisers
If the EU succeeds in getting other countries to follow the same lines, combined with "initiatives" by various countries to "restrict access"[*1] to sites that offend their sensibilities[*2] the intertubes will (at least for the vast, unwashed, majority) become as enlightening and informative as a Creationist University.
And another thing! Where's the requirement for Bing, Yahoo, and all the other search engines to do the same thing.
Something smells fishy in Belgium, and it's ain't the smell of fresh.
[*1] it a site is illegal - why not prosecute and take it down? Instead of draping it in black plastic and posting signs saying "don't look - illegal content"? Huh?
[*2] case in point, Australia's censored site list is the result of lobbying by Family First, funded by Mr "Benevolent Puritan" Packer. Odd how so many gambling sites should feature on that list (that it's illegal to disclose). No conflict of interest there... weeel maybe, but you won't be able to search for a citation with Google if the EU have their way.
If someone else comes along and builds a search engine and spiders your false accusation, then your right back in.
Big if, or perhaps I misunderstand "precedence".
The rule is moronic, passed down by malicious halfwits.
Let's continue that discussion after you've been falsely accused of child abuse, cleared in court (DNA stuff yada yada, real perp caught and convicted etc), but with the internet's never-forgetting memory still branding you as a pedo.
Hmmm - should we pretend the Nazi's never existed? True it's not the same thing. But - assuming the person "accused" of child abuse is deemed innocent in a court - which is not what you are saying (perhaps you believe courts are never wrong?) - does that mean the wrongful accusations should be "vanished" - or just weighted lower in the search results than the possibility the person was falsely accused?
Consider for a moment how many people are wrongly convicted - should the claims they were innocent be wiped from search results?
What of those who are guilty and we later asked how the authorities failed to investigate years of previous claims? Let's ask Rolf Harris shall we?
Hyperbole aside - I propose that it's not a case of do or don't - it's a matter of weighting the results. Or we'd all be buying eyewear from the company that sucks the most because they don't want to wipe their nasty history from search results. I suspect that legislating to make the world safe for people who won't do their research (ban bad weather, complex explanations, and furniture without sharp corners) is a fascist wet dream.
Free speech is a tricky thing - especially if only "acceptable" speech is allowed. Good luck getting Google (do the EU know there are other search engines?) to take down what Glenn Beck said about how he heard you rape baby seals - he'd like to extend the opportunity for you to prove you didn't though...
Or maybe Facebook and friends are just scumbag companies.
That is a fact. So is the sad reality that there are many people like Matheus, ShanghaiBill, pr0fessor etc, that will blame the victim, regard doing so as trivial, or even humorous. What's worse is they live in denial of themselves (stupid) and truly believe they aren't misogynists. (scared and bluffing).
Correct, provisionally. Targeted attacks are OS agnostic - if designed to be OS agnostic.
In the case of Regin (did you even read the lead before shooting your idiot mouth?) it is not OS agnostic. It affects Windows only. So does Stuxnet
His point was...
... not what you believe it was. I quoted the specific point I was replying to. ...not what the thread is about ...not what the main article is about.
Again - try reading before shooting your idiot mouth. It's not like you are incapable of focus or intelligent output. Perhaps you're having a bad day or it's just confirmation bias from some sort of emotional over-investment.
It could have been part of a suite of tools that include ones for other OS. But it is not, hence it's not relevant, and like the OP in this thread - the opposite of "informative". Nowhere have I made any statement about any OS being more or less secure than another.

It's the job of the M$ sock puppet army. Just following orders. Likewise the instant tagging of your sensible question as Flamebait - coz that'll bury your post most effectively.
systemd may or may not have problems, but it demonstrably does not "ignore stderr, drop higher priority syslog messages, [or] ignore nonzero exit statuses". If it does, or ever has done, any of these things where is the fucking bug report.
Oh you want facts? Kayne jumped on stage, and someone called someone a whore. (and North Korea attacked Sony and leaked all their emails coz, um... Vanilla Ice robbed stole someone's crap bicycle.
That's my part of the forum flooding done - can I haz my Paypal bonus pleese?
Hey look, there's Israel again (at least 3 times in fact). This Komodia/Superfish crap is likely Mossad sponsored.
Yep. Definitely Mossad. Coz who else would use Komodia as the certificate password. Not enough proof? The guy who runs Komodia used to be a programmer for Mossad. (till they gave him the boot for being a moron)
In other news, spyware modules in an attack against a movie studio prove it was North Korea - obviously pissed about an intelligent blockbuster satire that threatened to provoke a rebellion. Don't listen to those communists like Krebbs who pedal the SAAS malware lie.
Still not convinced it's all a simple plot even an idiot with the attention span of a goldfish on amphetamines in a shopping centre sees right through? Those North Korean (commie bastards) used the same IP addresses to launch their attack (don't listen to the commie lies about how they are commonly used anonymous proxies)
Komodia is a woody word! And so is Disney! AND Komodia == comode == toilet. And we all know what Walt used glass tables for!
Seven Dwarfs == Seven Secret Agencies! Those damn shape-shifting lizard people are pissing with us!
P.S. Do not believe those commie "false flag" lies either... (compilation time stamps can't be faked).
As the guy living in the local bus shelter told me " IT's all connected. And he would know.
This was invented long ago, and it's called "Rearden metal".
Invented? Yes (by Ayn Rand the fiction writer).
News Flash! Santa Claus and Superman don't exist either (sob)
Exists? Well, it is made from Unobtainium - the pure bullshit element. You guess.
Bainite Steel - different technology used to create a pearlite/martensite mixture that's 7% harder.
Phil Collins held money in a swiss bank account. What a crook! Where does Phil Collins live? Oh right. Launsanne SWITZERLAND.And OMG, David Bowie had a bank account in Switzerland.... where he lives.
I'm not going to defend the rich musicians claiming to reside in tax advantageous locations (cough*Isle of Man*cough). Nor am I going to defend those who advocate revolution (wait till you see what the regime is trying to repress) and failed to study history (hint: France had three revolutions, technically 5) - and I'm definitely not going to defend those that complain from the comfort of their armchairs:-
Anarchy is not destruction - it's the opposite of outsourcing responsibility to others.
Enlightened self-interest is not shitting upstream, unenlightened self-interest is. Enlightened self-interest is creating a business that doesn't dump sewage upstream and marketing the non-polluting aspect to advantage. Unenlightened self-interest is demanding a bigger government (composed of people who claim/believe levying taxes = production) that will regulate sewage dumping - which is like hiring someone to train a cat not kill things.
Sheep is a good analogy, they are stupid, but they feed themselves (and they don't go around saying other species can't be bred to be stupid). So just keep bitching, I won't call you sheep.
Don't take that the wrong way.
So did anyone actually stop to think that this guy stole bank details and sold them?
Yes, and no. Some of us thought "Maybe that's bullshit - let's check, before we believe the bank who makes it's money helping themselves to the profits from helping their clients break the law - 'cause, ya know, what if.... one crime gets lonely?"
So maybe the question you ask should have been four questions:-
And yeah - Phil Collins should go straight to jail for crimes against music (as should the rest of Genesis).
Of course, if I thought he was a musician, like David Bowie, then spending the requisite amount of time in countries that charge him less tax on his complicated corporate tax structure than I would have to pay using obfscurated family trusts in my country, would be OK.
Yes, Digikam's good - so long as you use kde. I don't, but i put up with its annoying gnome incompatibilities because it's the best there is - and i've tried all the rest.
That doesn't make sense - "so long as you use kde" + "I don't".
How can it not make sense? Digikam's not good if you use Gnome. It's usable, but some functions don't work.
Does not parse??
I asked you to expand on your original point....
Since then, for the sake of completeness, I've installed (shudder) GNOME (on Debian STABLE, not Fedora as I'm too old to be comfortable with the hourly upgrades and sitting on the bleeding edge of almost working), and found no problems with any features. So again (gently)
have you filed bug reports? (lest, despite imagining best intention you are just pissing on the furniture and complaining there was no toilet under your dick).
Don't take that the wrong way.
As for GNOME incompatabilities - can you expand on the "incompatabilities" and conflicts you have (i.e. error messages, missing recommended pacakges (stuff don't work is not instructive when we don't know what you installed, and until now didn't even mention a distro let-alone a release)? Have you filed bug reports? (how do you expect "things to be fixed otherwise?"), please don't wail without making a modicum of effort to contribute to the effort to raise the standard.
Some things don't work. I've recently upgraded Fedora and i haven't tried Digikam with the new version, so i don't know if the problems are the same.
(relevance - and thanks for raising the standards?) As previously stated, I agree digiKam is the best of it's breed, and we'd like to make it better - your input (useful that is) would be greatly appreciated.
But previously, image "tool tips" (i.e., showing metadata etc when you hover the mouse pointer over a thumbnail) were blank, and the preview image was blank - which was rather annoying. No, i haven't filed bug reports as i haven't checked if they are bugs (by testing it with KDE) or just incompatibilities with Gnome. Digikam is a KDE application and it never claims to work with Gnome.
It doesn't have to work with GNOME - nor does it rely on the entirity of KDE - and, more importantly, I don't know where you got the falacious idea that it won't/shouldn't work with GNOME
small hint: "I didn't" is a form of agressive armchair apathy - it fixes nothing and helps no-one.
Yes, Digikam's good - so long as you use kde. I don't, but i put up with its annoying gnome incompatibilities because it's the best there is - and i've tried all the rest.
That doesn't make sense - "so long as you use kde" + "I don't".
As for GNOME incompatabilities - can you expand on the "incompatabilities" and conflicts you have? Have you filed bug reports?
Or do you mean digiKam doesn't use the same libraries that GNOME does to perform vaguely similar tasks (QT/GTK, gfs/kio, etc, etc) - which would hardly be surprising.... Disclaimer: I used to have to use GNOME for work - and always found it's lack of configuration as ugly as the GNOME looks and way of doing things. But that's just a personal taste and programmers perspective.
I can confirm, as the result of several years daily use, that both KDE and digiKam work very well, and that digiKam works very well on boxen that don't have the KDE metapackage installed. e.g. on netbooks running xfce
Agreed on the digiKam to competition comparison - I've used Adobe products for years (result of client environments) - digiKam is better for my purposes (maintaining very large databases of client images for publication/web sites/promotion purposes).

That's about 40MB if installed with --no-install-recommends (assume the OP already has a browser) and unless you are using digiKam or one of it's dependencies (e.g. phonon) GNOME is not using more resources. Note that phonon itself is unnecessary for digiKam usage (it uses it for video sound) - just use equiv to replace it if it offends your inner GNOME.
digiKam, free, runs on the major platforms, has the feature you've asked for and all the features you haven't asked for but, based on my experience, you will need.
Quoting from:-
Note: it's not very stable if you insist on running it on Windoof. Very reliable on Linux, I haven't tried with OSX.
Features
I think the idea that there's a built in audience for a non-systemd fork of Debian is entirely true, but it's loaded up with systemd flamewar hyperbole.
And it's falsely based on the idea that Debian doesn't support building any damn thing you like - including not using systemd (if you're the anti-woody word type). Unless your (not you) audience are sheeple who don't check a damn thing (a typical slashdot reader).
Fuck you SJW shill.
Guy running the fork did MuSe. Great for controlling midi devices for those of us who record music.
MikeeUSA/Jaromil - is that you (again)?
You claim you wrote MuSe?
BULLSHIT! citation
And you made the sun rise this morning too...
Thanks, but I'd be surprise if that happened.
Jaromil does some excellent graphic work - but his musical ability is more autistic than artistic, allowing for a broad spectrum of tastes... and his "software accomplishments" is less than truthful (his hasciicam program lacks truthful attributions to it's true basis, and his Dyneobolic distro is just one of very many "respins". Not a patch on Knoppix - which is the work of one person , or a shadow of Mint and other Debian derivatives. There have been many Debian fork attempts...
Some vaguely related trivia regarding your pseudonym. Unix was a joke name chosen by the developers of Multix - the operating system that was intended to "do everything", when their funding was cut. Eunuchs/Unix was the result. Linux was the name given to Linux Torvalds to create a non-Unix compatible kernel.
apt-get install sysvinit-core
They are two people (or one person and a bunch of sock puppets). Only one will has any history of coding - and not sufficient to port Debian.
What "they" want is money - for what? With the same accounting standards and transparency of dyne "smoke" obolic (whose code contributors all quit) - will it have the same non-existant "non-profit" status?
A more accurate name for the "forked Debian" would be "RaptureOS" - and it could use the Inca calendar for it's release schedule. Release a new version everytime the world ends.
yeah, yeah - I'll be wrong, "you wait and see"... OK, thanks I will.
As for me - I'll wait and see. I run servers not the bleeding edge - systemd has some great features - when they've been deployed in Stable for a year I'll have a look. Certainly sysv has become a fucking liability. I'm sick of trying to trawl through dozens of logs across thousands of servers. Fuck plain text - another piece of FUD from forkdebian - systemd happily provides text logs to the usual places for those that only deal with one box (except the logs cover the entire boot to shutdown).
That's all I've got.
All you're doing is delinking from a search engine.
It's not just the link that's gone. Not the event/story/pictures/history. And when there's no record of it having happened it still happened - right?
So all good. I always hated investigative journalism - and this should put a crimp on that!
[/sarcasm/satire]
No more futile that Stalin's censorship regime.
[cue orchestra to play Orwellian overtones]
If he ordered the record wiped of someone or something that offended him - that history effectively vanished for most people.
How is this not the same thing?
Hint: different dog, same leg action?
What do we call the European version of Google Web Search now? It will hardly qualify as a "search engine of the entire internet" except, perhaps to the hypercritical/normalisers
If the EU succeeds in getting other countries to follow the same lines, combined with "initiatives" by various countries to "restrict access"[*1] to sites that offend their sensibilities[*2] the intertubes will (at least for the vast, unwashed, majority) become as enlightening and informative as a Creationist University.
And another thing! Where's the requirement for Bing, Yahoo, and all the other search engines to do the same thing. Something smells fishy in Belgium, and it's ain't the smell of fresh.
[*1] it a site is illegal - why not prosecute and take it down? Instead of draping it in black plastic and posting signs saying "don't look - illegal content"? Huh?
[*2] case in point, Australia's censored site list is the result of lobbying by Family First, funded by Mr "Benevolent Puritan" Packer. Odd how so many gambling sites should feature on that list (that it's illegal to disclose). No conflict of interest there... weeel maybe, but you won't be able to search for a citation with Google if the EU have their way.
If someone else comes along and builds a search engine and spiders your false accusation, then your right back in.
Big if, or perhaps I misunderstand "precedence".
The rule is moronic, passed down by malicious halfwits.
Agreed
Let's continue that discussion after you've been falsely accused of child abuse, cleared in court (DNA stuff yada yada, real perp caught and convicted etc), but with the internet's never-forgetting memory still branding you as a pedo.
Hmmm - should we pretend the Nazi's never existed? True it's not the same thing. But - assuming the person "accused" of child abuse is deemed innocent in a court - which is not what you are saying (perhaps you believe courts are never wrong?) - does that mean the wrongful accusations should be "vanished" - or just weighted lower in the search results than the possibility the person was falsely accused?
Consider for a moment how many people are wrongly convicted - should the claims they were innocent be wiped from search results?
What of those who are guilty and we later asked how the authorities failed to investigate years of previous claims? Let's ask Rolf Harris shall we?
Hyperbole aside - I propose that it's not a case of do or don't - it's a matter of weighting the results. Or we'd all be buying eyewear from the company that sucks the most because they don't want to wipe their nasty history from search results.
I suspect that legislating to make the world safe for people who won't do their research (ban bad weather, complex explanations, and furniture without sharp corners) is a fascist wet dream.
Free speech is a tricky thing - especially if only "acceptable" speech is allowed. Good luck getting Google (do the EU know there are other search engines?) to take down what Glenn Beck said about how he heard you rape baby seals - he'd like to extend the opportunity for you to prove you didn't though...
You're focusing on a specific piece of software, and missing the reason the software was written in the first place.
I'm focusing on what I quoted in my response. You're just being a goal-shifting egotistical dick - which is not "helpful" in any context.
Or maybe Facebook and friends are just scumbag companies.
That is a fact. So is the sad reality that there are many people like Matheus, ShanghaiBill, pr0fessor etc, that will blame the victim, regard doing so as trivial, or even humorous. What's worse is they live in denial of themselves (stupid) and truly believe they aren't misogynists. (scared and bluffing).
Werewolves do walk among us.
targeted attacks like this are OS agnostic,
Correct, provisionally. Targeted attacks are OS agnostic - if designed to be OS agnostic.
In the case of Regin (did you even read the lead before shooting your idiot mouth?) it is not OS agnostic. It affects Windows only. So does Stuxnet
His point was...
... not what you believe it was. I quoted the specific point I was replying to.
...not what the thread is about
...not what the main article is about.
Again - try reading before shooting your idiot mouth. It's not like you are incapable of focus or intelligent output. Perhaps you're having a bad day or it's just confirmation bias from some sort of emotional over-investment.
It could have been part of a suite of tools that include ones for other OS. But it is not, hence it's not relevant, and like the OP in this thread - the opposite of "informative".
Nowhere have I made any statement about any OS being more or less secure than another.
