guivercof no importance (not worth looking), but i've re-worked the jammy issue tracker on discourse so it's got (easy to read/edit list) wiki @ top & (older) posts now below it01:41

duuudewhat do you think of this: https://github.com/abakh/nbsdgames10:02
kc2bezduuude: I think it isn't related to Lubuntu development and discussion belongs in the offtopic channel. 10:11
kc2bez!offtopic 10:11
ubot93For discussion unrelated to Lubuntu support or development, please join the #lubuntu-offtopic channel on IRC or https://telegram.lubuntu.me/offtopic for Telegram.10:11
duuudekc2bez: hmmm... yes :D It is getting to Ubuntu repos by 22.04 and I wanted to tell lightweight distro about it to see if they want to include it10:14
duuudeso I sent the link first so some people say its cool then I go on so I don't look like marketing people :P10:14
duuudehttps://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jammy/nbsdgames10:14
duuude thought it might interest you because it is pretty lightweight and packs a lot of diverse gameplay into a microscopic size (18 games with infinite gameplay and a lot of options in each, you could play 49x49 sudoku puzzles for example) 10:15
duuudewhile having ~500 KB Installed base. Probably less than a wallpaper.10:16
kc2bezPoint taken, we tend to ship the minimum needed so we probably won't include it on the iso. Since it is in the archive it will be easy for folks to install with Discover, muon or apt. 10:18
duuudedo you have games already? the default games on OSes are for when people get bored and don't have network access. I did see many people making use of the ones on Windows XP/7.10:23
duuudealso it is 500kb (a big part of that being the icon lol), the .deb is 90KB. It is soooo little, meanwhile it brings so much joy to the table.10:26
kc2bezThe only game we ship is 2048-qt. Unfortunately I got email yesterday that our iso was oversized so I think adding much of anything is somewhat of a challenge. 10:26
duuudeI bet that weights more so replacing that with nbsdgames probably helps with that. lemme check.10:27
duuudeyeah. 3MB10:27
duuudeit is a win for you with 17 more games and 2.5 MB less iso size that way.10:28
duuudealso the games are so diverse and interesting, 2048 is just pushing everything to one corner until the number gets big.10:29
duuudeabsolute rationality lol10:31
duuudethat is actually 3.9 MB, I rounded it in the wrong way. you win 3.4 MB of free space.10:36
duuudebtw have you emailed abuse@namecheap.com and  abuse-contact@publicdomainregistry.com to tell them that lubuntu.org and lubuntu.com are malware-in-waiting and request that they hand you the domains?11:06
duuudeI wanted to mail them but thought that them corresponding with the actual devs is less frictious11:08
duuudekc2bez: what are your opinions on replacing 2048-qt with nbsdgames freeing 3.4 MB of iso size?15:42
duuudeit is win-win15:42
=== genii-core is now known as genii
tewardduuude: i believe the answer from before stands and it was a "no thanks"16:03
tewardsaving 3MB wont solve the oversize ISO problem16:04
tewardso adding anything right now is off the table16:04
tewardthis applies for replacing 2048-qt as well16:04
duuudeteward: well, it is still improving the default installation with more, better games, while not making the problem that was mentioned.16:16
duuudeit saves 6 times its weight if it comes to "we don't want to bloat the iso"16:17
tewardso i wasn't clear16:17
tewardi'm the Lubuntu Team Lead right now16:17
duuudenice16:17
tewardif anything, I'd rather strip out games entirely and make them optional installs16:17
tewardbecause games aren't the *primary* reason people install Lubuntu16:17
tewardor any *buntu16:17
duuude"the default games on OSes are for when people get bored and don't have network access. I did see many people making use of the ones on Windows XP/7."16:18
tewardbut there's been pushback on that before so I've left it alone, if ISO size is a problem then I would be happy to make a decision to cut stuff if our dev lead agrees with.16:18
tewardbut my statement remains: we're not changing the games we ship at the moment16:18
tewardi'm open to discussion for this for next cycle, but we're 2 months away from a release so it's a little late to be making major ISO changes16:19
duuudewell, neither is the office suite, neither is snap etc. the primary reason people install lubuntu as a distro, but people don't install these general-use distros with pre-installed utilities for one single primary purpose16:21
duuudepeople, or at least me, want to save time looking for software when they want to do a simple thing, like bluetooth, scanning, making a doc or whatever16:22
duuudeboredom-killing stands along those lines16:22
duuudewell, next cycle is ok too, better late than never16:24
tewardgiven we're 2 months away, my decision is "We'll strip things from the ISO to fit the sizes we need, but we won't add or change anything else for the 22.04 LTS cycle".  Next cycle and later we're free to make changes, but not 2 months out from release since we've already done a bunch of testing and such16:38
lubot[telegram] <teward001> (updates, etc. to software can still be done, but we won't change what we ship on the ISO unless it's removing things)16:39
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> My last intended task is to get the artwork set. I anticipate removing at least a couple of wallpapers.17:26
