@vmbrasseur done

@khubsuratinsaan ignore the clowns. Honestly people should mind their own business. I wear those blue masks to college and I get a lot of “why are you wearing a mask?” Questions

@kishy @fbinin I’m not distro hopping anymore or using anything other than debian because I do debian packaging now.

@fbinin the closest I got to arch was using manjaro but I didn’t like it. I’ve been on debian/ubuntu based distros for like 9 years now. Most of the Ubuntu ones had issues and would often break. Never had a single problem with debian.

I like the way how there’s a mass exodus of Windows users to Linux or MacOS and I’m glad to say that I’m one of them. Debian was the only distro that kept me around for over 7 months without distro hopping.

@werdahias @mirabilos I’m sure someone might be thinking about making a GR too ;) Your voice was heard

@khubsuratinsaan @sahil I use BSNL as a secondary sim. Signal is trash but it’s a cheap service for a secondary phone number.

@khubsuratinsaan they paid me ₹100 for dropping a review of my college like 3 years ago lol

@khubsuratinsaan L-Mao

@niyabits that's great. I hope you get the job and move out to a place that's more accepting. I don't plan on working in India either.

@werdahias @mirabilos yep I think I was the only one who supported slop ban in that thread. Sad to see slop making its way into debian. Maybe you could start a new thread about it. Hoping we can come up with a resolution to ban slop. Like I said in that email; debian has no business with slop because we aren't a corporate company to please shareholders or ship broken stuff.

@niyabits don't you need something like C1 in German to work in Germany though?

Day 8 of consistent bad and light sleep. Feeling exhausted at. I haven't slept properly in a week.

@khubsuratinsaan I wish they didn't do that free bus shit here. Buses are very congested as the infrastructure wasn't meant for it. I had to stop using bus services because of it. Irony is that they lost the confidence of people who actually pay for the service, I know a lot of people who prefer Indian Railways now. I myself prefer Indian Railways over our state bus services.

@disaster2life this will be me in a year

Just uploaded my first Debian Package directly to Debian archive as a Debian Maintainer \o/

Why I moved to MacOS after using Windows for 19 years
