It would probably be fine if there was someone competent in Whitehouse to manage the fallout.

But since there isn’t, you are very likely correct.

Yeah I’m getting real dot com bubble vibes from all of this.

Only because after 15 years the AIs will have finished exterminating the human race.

I like it for desktop, but for me XFCE is all I need. I figure I want to mostly focus on the application I’m using not the Window Manager. I click the icon, application opens and I do stuff, and occassionally run apt update && apt upgrade and kinda forget the OS is even there.

With games I tend to have more issues with older games becoming broken after awhile than with new games not working because the OS is old. Only problems I’ve had with new games is because I had a computer that was >10 years old and eventually the hardware couldn’t run new games anymore. But then I mostly play strategy games and base builder games, so maybe that’s why I don’t have a lot of issues there.

Debian is the best OS for people that don’t want to think about the OS.

It’s sometimes unstable. But sometimes it’s mostly stable.

testing, stable, oldstable, etc are pointers to named branches (named after Toy Story characters BTW). Unstable is also a pointer but it always points to sid (the neighbour kid that breaks the toys).

Testing isn’t a rolling release. Yesterday testing pointed to trixie. Today stable points to trixie (because testing was completed and trixie has been “released”) and testing now points to forky which is a new branch that is basically a copy of unstable. They’ll do testing on forky and fix things and eventually stable will be pointed at forky (which will be Debian 14) and they’ll make a new testing branch called something else.

It’s an odd thing to call things “released” on a project that’s done openly. Debian 13 was just released today, but you can install what will be Debian 14 right now long before it’s released by installing forky. You can also contribute to their testing by submitting bug reports. But if you do install forky (testing) today, don’t be too disappointed if there’s a bunch of things broken because it’s the same as unstable right now. It will get more reliable as things are fixed and eventually be considered as stable. When Debian 14 is “released” you won’t need to upgrade anything if you’re on forky because you’ll have already been on it for a year or more.

But yeah, unstable is unstable, it’s just somewhere people can chuck packages on and experiment. Things will break there. Testing is testing, it’s there if you want to help out with testing. And stable is stable, you get that if you want something reliable and you don’t want to mess around with software occasionally breaking and having to track down what broke and submit bug reports.

“Sit down and stop being condescending.” – someone that doesn’t lecture people

Everyone knows what Trump is. Trump is demanding an increase in military spending with the expectation that the money will go to the US. He’s basically demanding tribute.

Saying “sure we’ll spend more on defense” while spending on our own defense industry is calling his bluff while also getting ready for if and when he starts using the US military to bully allies.

Nobody else in the world needs to be lectured about the problems with the US military industrial complex. We know.

Yeah, it seems they also didn’t mention that it’s a European defense company, not a US defense company.

Europe is investing a lot into defense now and it’s actually a good thing that they’re moving away from dependence on the US defense industrial complex.

Spotify sucks tho. But that’s a separate thing.

Clickbait article.

To paraphrase Jon Lovett, they have “back of the classroom energy” while the left has “front of the classroom energy”.

“Teacher teacher, he said something some people might find offensive! Send him to the principal’s office”

“Thanks for narcing me out, r****d”

“Teacher teacher, he just said the r-word!”

The left just isn’t equipped to deal with the manosphere. Everything the left does just makes the manosphere seem even more cool to the kids.

“The UN is worried about these guys, they must be really badass!”
