I used UAD.
Removed everything in "recommended" and "unlisted", apps in "advanced" and "expert" I was sure I didn't need, and didn't touch "dangerous".
57 system apps still enabled. 110 system apps removed. There's literally no loss of functionality in the phone or any of my apps, no errors, no missing features, after removing 2/3 of everything that was on it. Feels kind of nice, actually. I just wish I could degoogle this thing, though...

Since this work contained positive depictions of gay men, explicit (by Chinese standards) gay sex scenes, and resurrected the ghost of Tiananmen Square, at the time, no mainland Chinese publisher would have published it, nor would the author be safe from government reprisals. Hence, its anonymous publication on the Internet.

Uh, so how's that "limit warming to 1.5°C" target coming along?
Global average temperatures from January to September were 1.4 C higher than 1850-1900, almost breaching the 1.5 C warming goal of the 2015 Paris Agreement, C3S reported.
That threshold is seen as essential to avoid the most catastrophic consequences of climate change.

This actually works. All you have to do is decelerate the train once (because it's spinning with the world while you build it).
And solve the trivial engineering task of reducing all friction and air resistance to zero. Oh, and that of getting on and off the train.

Generally, skill yourself for a career with high future demand that can be done remote, like DevOps, Data Analyst or Sharepoint Admin.
Then get hired by a company that pays well and live in an area with low cost of living.
Or like me, have a fuckton of luck, and happen upon a hippie landlord who inherited a house on a large woodland plot and lets you rent it for 500€ as long as you do all the work that needs doing and don't bother her while she finds her true inner spirit 500 miles away in the Alps.
Then heat your home with firewood from your own plot, build your own furniture in your shed, grow your own veggies, join local food sharing and fleamarket groups, live car-free, go on camping trips for vacation and bring your cost of living down to a point where 40k€/year are plenty.

"Slackware has no dependency management" is a meme as old as Debian, and basically the only thing people know about it.
Fact is, you install additional packages from Slackbuilds, and there's a tool that resolves dependencies for that (slpkg). It's not officially supported but well-maintained and it works. So in practice, it works the same way as Arch's AUR (where absolutely everyone uses yay even though it is also not officially supported or recommended).
So, the fact that the default package manager doesn't resolve dependencies is irrelevant in practice. What is relevant, and an actual valid criticism of Slackware, is that the default installation isn't minimal or tailored to you, and should't be changed unless you absolutely know what you're doing. It gives you a wide variety of software for all kinds of tasks that wasn't chosen by you, but by benevolent dictator Patrick Volkerding. And his choices are very different from what's become the de facto Linux standard today (e.g. Calligra instead of LibreOffice).
My take on it is that Slackware is the perfect OS for maybe 100,000 people on earth, and I happen to be one of them.

...is irrelevant due to how Slackware works.
It installs all dependencies for the entire official repo right from the start.

I use "stable" not in the sense of "doesn't break", but in the sense of "doesn't change its behaviour".
Debian is rock solid, but Slackware is the most stable in the sense that it still looks and works pretty much exactly like it did 10-20 years ago.

Let's get back to talking about Rampart.
The problem I'm having with this is that slackpkg clean-system shows all packages I've installed with slackpkg+ from other repos to be removed, too. But if I blacklist them, they won't get updated either. Is it even necessary to run those commands on a normal update, or do packages only get added/removed in a new release?
superkret 12 months ago • 100%
Yeah, 200GB is not normal. Sounds more like you at some point clicked "select all" and then "install" in Synaptic. (This kills the Debian)
Yes, you can install different DEs without conflict.
But manually and individually removing all packages you think belong to one DE will lead to breakage. XWayland is like a compatibility layer that lets programs designed for X work in Wayland.
Yes, if you install and start Gnome, you're using Wayland. Programs that can't will use XWayland. You don't have to worry about it.
Then google how to reset the BIOS password on your hardware. Sometimes it's a jumper you can reset, sometimes you have to take out the CMOS battery, sometimes you have to call the manufacturer and provide proof of purchase.

A reinstall will get you back to a working desktop for watching media and browsing the internet within half an hour.
Much faster than trying to backtrack all the stuff you did and figuring out what's wrong.
And you seem to have messed up quite a bit by trying to remove a lot of stuff manually, package by package. IMO that's a waste of time, and has a 50/50 chance of messing up apt.
All they take up is a bit of drive space (likely less than 1GB). Just remove what you don't need from autostart and the menus if it bothers you.
