Good Afternoon: Consider this as my personal oppinion about the internet and posts (never consider it as an "attack" because it's NOT, :) I don't mind the way each one decides to write or configure his/her posts, because I addapt them to my needs, that is, write the way u want ;) I use FF...

@hundido How does this relate to the topic "very dark text colors in posts"? Changing the color temperature doesn't make this text more readable This is how blue text is presented to users of dark themes. Well, the topic is, "Please do not use very dark text colors in posts." Yo...

mikewalsh i think the problem was all the versions of puppy linux older than slacko 8.2.1, at the time, had an old enough kernal that it didn't include the firmware for my monitor or something. With Bookworm and F96, I use the build in Display Control. There's an unlabeled toggle button that looks ...

.and after a while, black text on a screamingly white background (the usual) just plain HURTS. agreed, although my eyes say it hurts instantly instead of after a while. mikewalsh do you use sct? from menu>display control>unlabeled far left toggle button to change from xrandr to sct. looks kinda lik...

How do I turn off the screen saver? My screen turns this blinding blue color when the screen blanks out, so I want to have it always on.

@rockedge earlier today I saw your post about testing for, well now I can't find it, so QEMU (sp?)? That's a pet to try other distros in your distro? Would you help me with the link to that? I'd like to try it.

hundido

wiak It's opensource: https://man.sr.ht/installation.md I think if you want to have hosting and support, you can pay, but if you want, you can run sourcehut on your own server, and then costs are the physical server machine, and possibly electricity (depending if electricity is included in rent, or...

Pidgin is installed in Bookworm 64, and now I just need to learn how to use it.

Pidgin:
I'm having trouble figuring out where to get it or how to install it for F96 puppy.

Low vision customizations: Learning that 150 is the biggest font supported, and 1024x768 is the loweest resolution supported, I decided to try both at once. This is really nice. The font is increased more uniformly, more everywhere, than probably any other distro I've tried so far. JWM Display lets ...

Has anyone ever tried Awesome Window Manager or sxmo as an alternate?

If you did, how did you do it, and how did it go?

I've been meditating on what would make me like F96 even more than I already do. What if, on the website, added to the features area, or linked to the features area, was a page of all the .pet, .sfs, appimages, etc, that have been tested to work wtih F96? When I search for .pet packages on the forum...

mikewalsh I don't know that most of them require a smart phone. If someone wants to use the desktop app to verify an installation that syncs with a smartphone, or wants to install the desktop app on a newly installed system, the qr code can save some typing. Most of them have recovery phrases, or i...

like so many other apps now, it's Electron-based. Which means a stripped-back Chromium browser underneath; well over 100 MB for that bit, with the actual client a relatively small chunk built on top of that.

@mikewalsh I've been wondering what, exactly, Electron is. Thanks

Default Theme It's fine like it is for now, but just from experience using e-ink Hisense phone A5, then A7cc as my daily-driver phone for the last few years, I know that when I replace my monitor with an e-ink monitor, it's going to turn into a challenge. Colorful buttons on top of black display as ...

File The settings on the file program are really nice in Bookworm. I like how the whole file name is displayed even if it takes up many lines. It removes the element of memory or guessing when doing something like copying a file name into terminal (sha256sum giant-file-name.iso or something) File is...

Fonts. I'd like them to be bigger than they are. I know, magdock, a blessing sometimes for sure, but it makes me motion sick, and taxes my brain RAM seeing in one place and moving in another.. Menu>JWMdesk>Screen Font>drop down menu to 150, and it's still about 1/2 to 1/3 the size my eyes would like...

Session in Bookworm Pup 64 A kind puppy-human sent me this: https://deb.oxen.io/ I guess Session messenger is the most private, best private messenger right now, according to wise, trusted friends, and https://odysee.com/@HowTo-Do-Stuff:1/Session-Secure-Private-Messenger--Really-Understands-Privacy!...

Element made menu listings in both Internet and Network. It works from both listings, and people say it's nice to have options, so it's not really a problem, but it's the first time I've seen a program do that, so maybe worth a mention.

hundido

@hundido For testing purposes, I installed Element to BW64 by entering the following in a terminal: apt update apt install -y wget apt-transport-https wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/element-io-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.element.io/debian/element-io-archive-keyring.gpg echo "deb [signed-...

Element - says it installed, i see it in the menu, when i click on it in the menu, it won't start. How exactly did you do the install? # apt install -y wget apt-transport-https Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information...

I'm trying to switch my life to eliminate LED screens, only e-ink screens. Who knows, maybe once I've traded blue light problems for color blindness problems, something in XFCE maybe will work better?

hundido

will the jwm desk Display Control work on the x-org one?

hundido

If you're using the Xwayland flavor, redshift won't work. Use the X.Org flavor. Didn't you say that in the near future you're not making an X.Org flavor anymore? I ask just because I want to try to get good at using something I expect to continue to be able to use. I'm already low-vision and contra...

hi lovely puppy humans, mods, my threads always wander and sometimes get renamed, and i really appreciate having an organized forum with easy to find stuff. if it makes sense to you to move/combine/reorganize anything i've written, i won't be offended; i'll be grateful. i spent a few hours reading t...

hi, thanks for making this. did you change the boot options colors to yellow and green from my feedback? beautiful and softer on the eyes. i had to put my face about an inch from the screen to do the other menus, keyboard and timezone, and they were blue. As I write this from another distro, my eyes...

after a few more days, what i learned: i can get most of them working on Easy OS, but I can't get Easy OS to boot on my main computer On the Puppies, I can get session running as an appimage with --no sandbox, but closing the terminal before the program causes major errors (windows infinitely openin...
