...those developer bastards suddenly change their options/commands
and hence ruin all of your fucking scripts?

I sure as fuck do.

Consider G'MIC:

<https://gmic.eu/>

Updating from 3.6.0 to 3.7.0 those bastards removed the "resize2dx"
command and now many of my image processing scripts have to be rewritten.

Fortunately the change is not that drastic and a "sed" command should
take care of all the replacements.

But this is NOT supposed to happen. Other software, like NetPBM, does
not do this.

Those G'MIC developers need some counseling -- with a rubber hose.

You have larger problems with your computer than that, you don't even
have a functional GUI.

1. Now you have example of many similar reasons why I stay with old
Kubuntu 20.04 distro. And not upgrade it for years.
2. Now you know why I criticise, and avoid roiling distros like Gentoo.

Czesc.

I'm curious, how popular is Linux in Poland? I notice that a good number
of the developers of open-source come from there and it seems to be very compatible with the Polish personality. I'm curious as to whether its use
is also widespread.

Things will change.

The GMIC changes were not cosmetic. They included many new interpolation algorithms for image enlargement including Neural Network methods.

The GNU/Linux user has a big responsibility. He must be prepared to
evaluate the constant changes in FOSS software. No one is going to do it
for him.

All FOSS software provides a "ChangeLog" file that describes all changes
that were implemented in any new version, and a study of this file is imperative.

The GNU/Linux user has to work very fast otherwise he'll fall
irretrievably behind.

Now, when I say "GNU/Linux user" I don't mean the common "distro lackey."

The distro lackey only wants a free ride and doesn't do anything
significant with his computer. The distro lackey accepts without question everything that his distro provides because he is too technically
incompetent to do otherwise.

But a GNU/Linux "USER" wants a far more active role.

Keeping up with changes is a part of the user's job.

How popular are YOU on Usenet.

Most sentient beings recognize you as an abysmally boorish and
mentally incompetent fucking twit.

Why don't you relocate to where you belong?

I'd recommend moving under a rock in the nearest sewer.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

It's "imperative" for others, but not for you, right lying lameass?

As if you read every changelog for every new version of every FOSS app
you install.

GTFO with your holier than thou lies and bullshit. NOBODY is fooled.

The GNU/Linux user has to work very fast otherwise he'll fall

The fact that you waste so much time maintaining your Gentoo crapbox is evidence you don't do anything meaningful with your computer.

The distro lackey only wants a free ride

Like you:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I just finished a payroll processing program for my own use. I would
like to contribute this masterpiece as a FOSS project.

Why? Because I would want the recognition and fame. That's all.
I couldn't care less about the "community." ------------------------------------------------------------------- <q3sdbr0106u@news1.newsguy.com>

and doesn't do anything significant with his computer.

Neither do you.

The distro lackey accepts without question
everything that his distro provides because he is too technically
incompetent to do otherwise.

You also accept without question everything that comes down the Gentoo
poop chute, as shown in your 'Gentoo Emerge Report' posts. Such as:


"Today, my fantastic Gentoo system automagically downloaded, configured, compiled, and installed, all according to my strict specifications, the following packages." <17c1a0fe00e338c0$83040$1768716$802601b3@news.usenetexpress.com>


You didn't review ONE LINE of any changelogs before blindly installing
47 new packages.

You fraud.

Python does it for YOU 'automagically'. You're an emerge lackey.
