Didn't expect my login to work after being inactive for some many months... But glad I could come back! I had vouched to help with programming some custom apps for Shift last time, but no one moved forward with what we wanted to do... Hope its not a fuse again!

Anyways, I'm in...

Right here I go, I am in, I am a programmer of sorts. Would love to help out, I have mac and PC to also test them on. Various new and old Pcs and laptops.

I have not done much linux scripting or programming, but can pick it up fast and willing to learn.

Let me know.

I'm not too knowledgeable in the whole coding thing (I am starting to learn scripting at work, though). However, I have a Macbook and a (quad core) desktop, so I can help with testing in VMware, installs, and live cd's. I have a 2mb (upstream) connection and my ISP doesn't really care how much I upload, so if you go the route of torrents, again, I can seed for a while.

Also, I'm decent in photoshop, so if you need any help with graphics, give me a shout.

Nice...

I'm not presenting myself that much, let's just say I'm an ArchLinux user which likes to play with the system in my free time, and who like's to implement wicked things which sometimes finish being great stuff...

I know some bash scripting, know how to make PKGBUILDS and have made some LiveCD's before... so if there's anything you want help with, you may ask, or I can start making implementations of wicked stuff... anyways, just let me know if you neeed ANYTHING

I can help with building the livecd. I have made a lot of livecds in the past year based on archlinux.

I also have github to on the right of that page if you want to look at my scripts.

This is great news. I was first introduced in to Linux by RedHat. I never actually made a switch until Ubuntu 5-6.04?. I love Ubuntu but for a while now I've been testing different distros and I've been learning Arch for a while. I've re-installed Arch from scratch 6-7 times just so I could get the hang of it without going back to the Wiki.

I love arch and its speed and its idea. What I didn't like about arch was the lack of polish I liked in Ubuntu in terms of the Desktop Enviroment and small visual tweaks. I love the fact you get the packages as the developers originally made them but I loved some of the small tweaks to Ubuntu that helped usability. I hope Shift takes the awesome idea around Arch and gives it smoothness and ups the usability. I would no doubt become a new follower if that happens. I wish you all luck and I will continue to watch and download the new builds as they come out.

Well, this is actually easy to implent, simply by doing some patching.

For instance, KDEmod has some of this ptches, so we should be able to use it instead of manteining our own packages (I guess we should only use own packjages when it's extremely necessary.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
