#calamares

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

El Cranchia scabra es un pequeño calamar cubierto con tubérculos cartilaginosos en el manto, al que se retrae como una tortuga cuando se ve amenazado. Al llenarlo de tinta, puede hacerlo opaco en la oscuridad. Aunque esta defensa no es única, se cuestiona la función en esta de los tubérculos. Puede mantenerse a flote sin esfuerzo gracias al amonio en sus fluidos, un desecho de su metabolismo del nitrógeno. 📷Emőke Dénes #calamares #squid #mollusca

installer repository was successfully migrated into . It took all night, but that's fine. Now, this does not mean that the Calamares project is necessarily moving there, but it is an important technical step for testing it for feasibility.

Personally, I think I would be happy to move the project, but it needs checking for "workability" and aligning with co-maintainers and contributors.

But if you like, codeberg.org/Calamares/calamar

Last couple of commits in are all over the place for timestamps, but that's because I was testing timezone-changing code. New release imminent (from Europe/Amsterdam).

I just registered with as a first step in investigating where to migrate the installer to (away from proprietary Git hosting and AI-scraping, insofar as you can get away from that at all, anywhere).

My first 15 minutes, at least, are "oh, this is nice".

There's a installer release on the cusp .. just minor fixes, but possibly useful for some Ubuntu flavors.

I'll take a moment to say thanks to Anke (KaOS), and Evan (EndeavourOS, I think) and Aaron (Ubuntu) for acting as co-maintainers.

#ArchLinux #EndeavourOS #GarudaLinux #MXLinux

I believe it's a testament to all of what's involved in making that happen.

But that (the images shown in the URL) took me 20 mins to customize (from some random theme i selected because i liked the balance of light and dark colors), And i think the rainbow title bar seems different and cool. refreshing.

But this new ease of use-- like #calamares for example (am i right @sgs @EndeavourOS - it eliminates 90% of most hiccups which present obstacles to the uninformed) . #opinions

This demonstration of my experience with the #Plasma desktop on #GarudaLinux says a lot about how easy it is to make a #Linux #DesktopEnviorment pleasing to your daily #productivity flow.

Once you "cut the cord" to the #MS World, and the fog dissipates, the realization slowly appears: It's a perfectly #cromulant desktop, Marge.

better to be most accustomed to what your productivity-flow looks like from within the #Linux environment, should you wish to experiment.

There's one last installer release for 2024 (it is "explosion night" outside, as Halla eloquently put it, which means the best thing to do is fry oliebollen with friends and then hunker down with the laptop until things are over).

Calamares 3.3.13 has a bunch of new contributors! Welcome!

Huh, clicked on the installer chat-room (it's a Matrix room) in a web browser and it is currently fetching the entire history of that room since 2020 or so. Which is kind of cool to watch, the chat-history of an entire project -- and it drives home just how much data Matrix must store to make this possible.

installer has used Transifex as the hosting platform for translations (all 81 languages, of which 64 usable) for ten years or more. That's always been on the edge of Free Software viability, because it *is* a proprietary service. But it's free (gratis) for Open Source projects, so ..

Inertia is largely what has kept me from looking at alternatives (KDE's translation workflow with Subversion is -- or was -- a non-starter).
