Why does #Debian's #Emacs package not include the documentation?

Turns out that's in the emacs-common-non-dsfg package... obviously.

#Debian #emacs

because emacs' manual is licensed under dsfg (EDIT: i meant gfdl, lol) which is not free in debian's perspective

Links to a lot of the background on the many, many discussions that happened around the GFDL and its compatibility with the DFSG:

Is there a #YouTube frontend like #NewPipe that can be run on a #Debian system?

Both Piped and Invidious are pretty much dead now.

Well, it looks like FreeTube (as mentioned by a few people) seems to be doing the trick. Thanks for the input, everyone!

Has anyone else been having troubles getting updates from @The Tor Project's #Debian repository? The signing key seems to be expired.

Ugh, another piece of software I have to install from #flatpak because the #Debian repository is too old.

@uhuru FWIW I personally had way more issues with Debian testing than with Arch 🤷

ok, personal experience is a bit different....

using debian unstable for ~15y, 4-5 serious issues.. still remember which ones..
4-5y ago, used arch for a month, and things were breaking every (other?) day...

Okay, sqlitebrowser (from the #Debian repositories) is actually a pretty decent tool. It provides a nice point-and-click interface that makes working with #sqlite3 databases a little bit nicer. Knowledge of how to write an #SQL query is still a requirement, but it makes creating/editing tables more convenient. Maybe it's well known, but I just discovered it yesterday.

Edit: sqlite browser, not mysqlbrowser

#Debian #sql #sqlite3
