Xscreensaver has apparently been checking for updates and is disappointed that it hasn't had one for 14 months because Debian is too stable. Can anyone recommend a linux screensaver which would work with xfce and can be trusted to never do that?
Oh look. Debian changed the keepassxc package and now the keepassxc repo is getting all the bug reports for it. Their stance is “it will go away in a year or so”
Regardless of whether or not it is a good idea, it’s undeniable that Debian makes a lot of decisions that negatively impact their upstream. And since it’s someone else’s problem, oh well.
There is a reason upstream repo maintainers wind up angry about problems that someone else caused.
The conversation for well over a decade has been that people still enjoy them. The “technical” discussion around usefulness is irrelevant and exhausted at this point.
People like them and they are still included in both MacOS and Windows.
