This looks interesting, I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Tap once or twice on your sarcasm detector and see if it's running. It might just need calibration since it didn't pick up the tone of the message or the emoticons.

In the worst case, a complete overhaul might be required.

You might want to test it on this message and note the result.

Here are some emoticons to complete the test: ;) :) :D

Nokias are about as Chinese made as Apple phones are. Both are made by Foxconn.

HMD is a Finnish company with headquarters at the Nokia Campus in Karaportti, Espoo, Finland, opposite Nokia Corporation's headquarters.

"Python 2 has been deprecated Python 2 will be replaced with Python 3 in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) major release."

So, deprecated in RHEL 7.5 as a fair warning to everybody and replaced with Python 3 in RHEL 8.

You'd know this if you had actually read the linked release notes you mention. ;)

I'm not sure what the starting comment meant, but there is more to UI than GTK theme, or any theme in general.

That being said, those who haven't tried Geany should most definitely give it a spin.

What a blasphemy, to compare officials and political systems of different countries! What must he/she have been thinking!

In other news, more US-centric brainwashing coming soon...

> It's what everyone knows and uses.

That's simply not true. Perhaps in your immediate circle, but even there I'd have doubts that it is actually so. I've been in the IT for about 20 years and I honestly don't know of any "software people" that pronounce the word as "day-mon", so I't most certainly not true for wider audiences.

> "Day-mon" has better connotations among people unfamiliar with the concept.

You'd get a blank stare from most that don't know what you're talking about and a remark about pronouncing the word wrong from most that do.

Why would you want to mispronounce a word just because you think the actual meaning is bad in some way, is beyond me. The word is what it is, pronouncing it wrong won't change it.

And if you do a bit of research, you'll see that it doesn't mean what some B-rate horror movie made you think that it does.

If you want to make a committee and decide for everybody what should or shouldn't be worked on, by all means, go ahead. Or agitate against projects online, that works too. Should be a fun for you and funny for most others.

Or you could just contribute to a project you find suitable, for whatever reason. Should be fun for everyone.

I've been using multiple IMAP and SMTP accounts in Alpine for years, the setup works nicely.

I've had some issues with how Alpine handles connection time outs though, as it annoyingly blocks the UI from time to time. Need to look further into this...

Git commits to the project are from August this year.

I see many projects with a similar public perception issues. Pages and blogs need to reflect their activities better.

Such things might not even be copyrightable.
