The latest updates to the system want to install two Noto emoji fonts. That annoys me because I can't see ever wanting any emoji font, let alone a google one, let alone two of the bl**d things.
If I tell the browser to display "https://web.whatsapp.com/" (it displays a locally generated page coming from my android phone), it is very probable that it will display a lot of emojis. So, yes, it surely is recommended to install that "pseudofont".
If *I* tell the browser to display "https://web.whatsapp.com/" it displays an arc 'rotating' in a circle. I assume that means that address requires me to enable Javascript in order to see the content. In such circumstances I simply don't bother looking. If they aren't willing to provide a web page I can see (i.e. HTML) then I'm not willing to look. So no, it surely isn't recommended. Even when I can see a page, I'm interested in the content, not emoji. Even when I look at whatsapp on a phone, I'm not interested in the emoji.
What is missing is that YaST doesn't tell you that which are recommended and which required.
Well it does if you look at the appropriate tab but IMHO it should do in the dialog that pops up, and the dialog should have another button to continue the update but without the recommended packages. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
