Sadly the review of deepin-app-services was another chaotic case, one that is actually still unfinished. Even understanding the purpose of this D-Bus service was difficult, because there wasn’t really any design documentation or purpose description of the component. From looking at the D-Bus service implementation, we judged that it is a kind of system wide configuration store for Deepin. Contrary to most other Deepin D-Bus services, this one is not running as root but as a dedicated unprivileged service user.

This reads like a horror novel but it's actually happening! Unbelievable how this has harmed a distro with many dedicated users!

Removal of Deepin Desktop from openSUSE due to Packaging Policy Violation

"Trump administration texted college professors' personal phones to ask if they're Jewish."
theintercept.com/2025/04/23/tr…
As all academics know, you can't ask this question in a job interview.

But I guess it's OK when it's not a job interview, when it's the govt asking, and the govt includes a high-ranking official who gives #Nazi salutes.
This happened at #BarnardCollege. Probably no accident that Barnard is affiliated with #Columbia. Trump officials said they had a right to the personal contact info, and the school handed it over.

Solar Panel Tariffs go as high as 3,500%

"These are very strong results," Tim Brightbill, an attorney for the U.S. manufacturing group, said on a call with reporters. "We are confident that they will address the unfair trade practices of the Chinese-owned companies in these four countries, which have been injuring the U.S. solar manufacturing industry for far too long."...

#Mississippi #governor signs typo tax overhaul bill into #law to phase out income #tax
source: apnews.com/us-news/taxes-tate-…
#Senators last week had conceded to eliminate the income tax, but only with economic growth “triggers” as safeguards — the tax wouldn’t phase out unless the state saw robust economic growth and controlled spending. It would have likely taken many years.Or so they thought. The Senate bill had typos that essentially nullified the growth triggers and would eliminate the income tax nearly as quickly as the House proposed. The House passed the flawed bill on to the governor, who signed it into law Thursday.

Mississippi governor signs typo tax overhaul bill into law to phase out income tax
Gov. Tate Reeves has signed a bill to overhaul Mississippi’s tax system, aiming to eliminate the state income tax in about 14 years. Reeves says it will attract corporate investment and workers. The law reduces the income tax rate gradually.Michael Goldberg (AP News)
The following must have occurred.
The installer did not use UUID to identify the boot partition. I assume it is because I use the semi-automatic method. I will repeat the installer to see how it happens when I use the full manual method;
I presume that I can then, tell the system that it needs to use the UUIDs for the identification of the partitions regarding root, home and the partitions regarding swap.
Until I get a dedicated SSD for my BSD installations, I shall not be able to make a separate partition for usr and other important sections of the tree which are better managed on separate partitions

I've obtained a separate HDD for my BSD installations.
This time I've made sure that I did not even turn off the SATA tray, in which the HDD resides
I've been able to repeat the exact error which I had gotten when I installed the freeBSD Operating System on the SSD:
After booting a Fresh installation, the FreeBSD bootloader barfs at the fact that it cannot find the kernel even though the drive was not moved
The fact that I used ghostBSD as a flavour variant doesn't matter since it's the latest version of ghostBSD which resides on the latest version of FreeBSD.
I love it when I find little bugs which are easily repeatable
I'll grind to the depths to detect why the bug occurs, repeat it and when I know why, I'll report it to the freeBSD team.
Just reporting bugs not my thing; I also want to report a fix.

I've reinstalled the ghost BSD gfx distro; I have manually wiped the partitions before running The installation sequence again.
ghostBSD does something very nice when you have enough memory
It creates a Ram disk with the whole install sequence in there which makes it lightning fast
This time after the reboot I could get into the operating system contrary to the last time
I'm still hunting down why that occurs
Images maybe included later I'm now busy with the PPE for cycling
I've just included three photographic compositions of the installation process for ghostBSD 👻
