I think Python 3 is the language for *everybody* to know. It's easy
enough that most people know it, it's got a standard library so
complete that you can do almost anything with just Python 3 and its
standard library. And when you need something special, there's plenty
of that too.

Nowadays, I wouldn't be caught in any profession not knowing Python. I
bet carpenters, Uber drivers, lawyers and network admins of all stripe
can gain from it.

Adding line to /etc/pacman.conf

IgnorePkg = darktables

Be warned this may break things.

downgrade darktable

2022-01-09 Thread Michael via PLUG-discuss
how can I go back to the previous version and make it so that updating the
computer won't upgrade darktable? My computer is not powerful enough for
3.8. The lag is not too horrible but enough that I don't want the new
features.

I run ARCH
