The response by the debian maintainer responsible for this change to the keepassxc developer is an actual disgrace

Request to revert change:

@julian-klode this needs to be reverted asap. This is now our fourth bug report because of the decision to neuter the base KeePassXC package in Debian. Put the base package back where it was and create a keepassxc-minimal.

Response by debian maintainer:

julian-klode commented 9 hours ago:
I'm afraid that's not going to happen. It was a mistake to ship with all plugins built by default. This will be painful for a year as users annoyingly do not read the NEWS files they should be reading but there's little that can be done about that.
It is our responsibility to our users to provide them the most secure option possible as the default. All of these features are superfluous and do not really belong in a local password database manager, these developments are all utterly misguided.
Users who need this crap can install the crappy version but obviously this increases the risk of drive-by contributor attacks.

The whole github issue is worth a read, as it actually explains the issue with the change.

Edit: as i gave the debian maintainers view visibility i wanted to give a quick summary of the keepassxc point of view as well:

  • julian-klode specifically mentions attacks by contributors of keepassxc. If you don’t trust the developers, why would you trust the minimal package which is developed by the same people?

  • If the Debian packagers have good reason to believe the keepassxc-full version presents a broader attack surface, then they ought to present what they've seen that makes them feel that way, not promote baseless innuendo.

  • the features are disabled by default. If you do not opt in, the code never gets executed.

  • the safest version of keepassxc is the one thats tested, meaning full featured

  • removing all those features doesn’t make it more secure, it dumbs it down to an encrypted spreadsheet and makes it less secure. Users should be automatically notified when one of their accounts has been breached and their password for that account has been found floating in a db dump. Users should rely on their password manager to handle logins for them, so they're less likely to get tricked into a phishing page.

  • if you disagree with features in someones app you fork it. You do not change it and distribute it under the same name. A -minimal version would have been ok

  • Debians own policy is to communicate with upstream beforehand before introducing changes. This was not the case, nor was there a chance to collaborate on an effective solution for both parties.

  • Debian could have chosen to give users an informed choice between -full and -minimal. Instead they broke existing users installs.

  • People saying it was released in Debian sid, which is meant for changes. It is also meant for Feedback, which julian-klode refuses to listen to.

At first i thought some reasons sounded reasonable too, but after reading the github issue i changed my mind. See my edit for reasons.

Unskilled5117 ,

Well there’s a simple thing you are overlooking. You could just not theme Kde with third party themes and extentions and stuff like kvantum themes. It wouldn’t break, just like gnome. Still if you do decide to change stuff its going to be fine most of the time.
The beauty of Kde is that there is the option to change stuff, but you aren’t required to.

KDEs default layout is really beautiful and well put together, just like gnome is.

Oh and don’t forget to take backups of your /home. Thats good practice for every desktop environment.

Unskilled5117 ,

That really shouldn’t be happening, make sure to file a bug report if it’s the core themes!

Hasn’t happened to me in the years i have used KDE.

I agree with you, that the future of Desktop Linux are the atomic Distros. They are more stable and require less intervention, so they can be used more easily by less knowledgeable users and users who prefer a stable OS(in the non-breaking way, not no updates). Making Linux more accessible for new users, is exactly what Linux needs.

I disagree on your view about the Fedora atomic spins, especially universal blue. Who cares if the underlying OS downloads as one big image. It all happens in the background, you don’t notice that. Everytime you reboot, you are on an updated system.

Unskilled5117 , (edited )

That sounds like a usecase for distrobox or toolbx, and not something an average user would need to consider for choosing a distro

Thats great to hear! Boredsquirrel is right, the download size might not matter to me, but it’s important to improve for a lot of reasons, i can see that.

Edit: For other people reading this, this is a nice read related to the download sizes and what can be done.

On a side note: keep doing what you are doing. Your blog posts and the enthusiasm you displayed in your YouTube videos are what got me interested in universal blue in the first place.

Unskilled5117 OP ,

I mean those are just github release notes, they kind of are supposed to get to the point quickly. More information for new features is typically provided via the official blog. :)

If someone is interested in the atomic concept, i would recommend looking into uBlue. It offers the Fedora atomic spins with a lot of tweaks applied that take the user experience to another level. Everything is just hassle free. Highly recommended! There are separate images with tweaks for gamers and developers.

You might be pleased to hear that it’s released for ios. https://feddit.de/post/11733855

Firefighters booed New York attorney general who sued Trump for fraud. Officials are investigating ( apnews.com )

NEW YORK (AP) — A union representing New York City firefighters is raising concerns about possible disciplinary action against its members after state Attorney General Letitia James was booed and a pro-Donald Trump chant broke out during a fire department ceremony last week....

I don‘t think that article says what you think it says. First we need to accept your comparison and generalize the study to question wether law enforcement will treat you differently because of political views.
And then it clearly states that the LOE treated the participants differently (negatively), because of the political views:

„Nevertheless, he concluded that it is statistically unlikely that this number of previously 'safe' drivers could amass such a collection of tickets without assuming real bias by police against drivers with Black Panther bumper stickers.“

Note that the “Nevertheless“ is in the context of the police only using the political bumper stickers as reason for citation only once. The rest of the citations were for other reasons. The participants had not been cited in all their driving in the year prior without the stickers. This leads to the mentioned statement by the author

Multiple problems with you assertions.

A) Fahrenheit has an appropriate level of granularity for humans

You know that Celsius uses decimals for everything, so really not much difference. Furthermore the granularity of Fahrenheit doesn‘t have any advantages. You won‘t be able to feel wether its 70°F or 71°F outside, nor if you’ve got a fever of 101°F or 102°F. You need to look at a thermometer. And please don‘t reply saying that decimals are complicated. The majority of the planet, except certain Countries seem to manage just fine. Would be quite laughable if one certain country thinks it‘s too complicated.

B) Fahrenheit has an intuitive frame of reference for humans

Not really sure what you are referencing. I think it just stems from you growing up with Fahrenheit, so not feeling comfortable with anything else.

But Fahrenheit is the temperature scale of the proletariat, the working man, the average Joe. And I'm here for it.

I mean the “proletariat” of the majority of the world uses Celsius.

Read some of my other comments. 0-100 is more intuitive than -18-38, no? None of you have even been willing to admit that simple fact yet.

Well because it stands on a false promise. Neither 0°F = the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride nor 100°F has any „real“ meaning. The other limit established was his best estimate of the average human body temperature, originally set at 90 °F, then 96 °F . How is that intuitive.

If you are refering to negative degrees, quite useful for telling how the weather is going to be. And to prevent the „negative numbers are hard“-Argument. It seems to work for the majority of people.

For the human bodytemperature argument often throw around: they are inconsiquential numbers in both systems.
