Dark theme still needs work, still seeing white elements here and there, not to mention black texted in the box as I type this.  There's also a white border around it to, don't think it should be there.

I'm in the middle of tweaking that menu so the edit & report options are easier to access (making it so you don't need to click the three dots first) - They should be gone from the menu now

At this point, might as well get rid of the ... and make “Share” a link like the rest.  It’s odd to click on the ... and only get 1 item.

I'm not sure if Dave would be able to do that or not; that menu holds our moderator options too. We'll see what he says :)

Speaking of. @DaveLegg is it purposeful that there's two sets of Report/Edit buttons now or is that still a work in progress?

I'm hoping the code in intuitive enough to hide the ... if there are no items for us muggles 😛

It is purposeful when it is a long post. I requested it.

I can hide it for people who aren't mods (when they're not using a phone - on a phone ALL options are within the dropdown to save screen space). This is already on my list for this evening!

Nitpicking here :D, but it seems that images added to posts are much larger than they were before upgrade.

@DaveLegg

Is it possible to get a notification to a new post after replying to a front page article as I don't think this has ever worked for me it only works in the forum's?

The front page is a completely different system, although comments are currently tightly integrated into the forums. The comment system is due a major overhaul, and notifications is one of the items on the to-do list

I'm currently in the middle of totally re-writing the comment system, and this is on the feature list (although depending on time, it may come shortly after - but it will be a lot easier to add to the new system than the current one)

      It's funny that iPhone users think they are getting feature, where in fact they are getting cosmetics that just do iteration circles of "improvement" of the said cosmetics. Apple just doesn't know what to do with this product anymore. There is no innovation on this areas anymore.

      You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all. I can still find adblocking solutions than having to rely on a browser from a shady company.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
