@danie10 I tried plasma 6 for the first time on the Debian testing live builds last weekend... it's quite nice!

@mitch Most rational people ALREADY agreed to this, there's no if buts or maybes about it. Kill it like a weed. Everywhere and always.

Ecocide Google

“In 2023, Google imposed “expiration dates” on Chromebooks, restricting the length of time they’ll support these devices, even if the hardware remains perfectly functional. This year, Google will cease support for 13 Chromebook models. Next year, 51 more will join the list of unsupported devices. This essentially forces users to retire their Chromebooks, even though many are still in good working order.”

The Debian Installer team is pleased to announce the first alpha release of the installer for Debian 13 Trixie. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2024/12/msg00002.html https://micronews.debian.org/2024/1735668273.html

New view of the world:

'Tokyo-based architect & artist Hajime Narukawa won Japan's prestigious Good Design Award for developing the AuthaGraph World Map, a groundbreaking projection that preserves the true proportions of continents & oceans.

By dividing the globe into 96 triangles, then transferring these to a tetrahedron & unfolding it into a rectangle, the AuthaGraph map eliminates the distortions found in both the Mercator & Dymaxion maps'

Map of the world, with accurate depiction of land areas, correcting for distortions from previous mapping conventions

@zleap @futurebird They're busy doing exactly that aren't they? As in, it's 240V coming into new houses and then they have transformers in the homes to scale it down to 120V for small appliances where dryers/ovens etc have special plugs and run directly off the 240V circuit

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Diagram with large number: 2.7.123
First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release
Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases
Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit

Avec Musk qui influence les élections allemandes en poussant l’AfD, et qui reçoit Farage (sans doute pour le financer et influencer des prochaines élections anglaises ?), comment est-ce que certains doutent encore de l’utilité de sortir de son réseau ?

“oui mais il y a de la visibilité”, “ah mais j’y suis juste parce qu’il y a de l’argent à la clé”, “il faut lutter de l’intérieur” ? C’est des mauvaises raisons. Tu vas réclamer des colonnes dans Minute ? Tu achètes des pubs chez Valeurs Actuelles ? Tu envoies tes communiqués de presse à Radio Courtoisie ?

Non ?

Alors casse-toi de Twitter. Tu n’as rien à y faire. Ton asso n’a rien à y faire. Ton business n’a rien à y faire.

@dansup @loops There's nothing like having your own little place in the world where you can do whatever you want.

Anyone remember Q&A? This was really impressive software in the early 90s. I was 10 years old and had no real use for databases but made one with my contacts just so that I could play with the bot.

@GyrosGeier The human mind hasn't evolved to deal with all the craziness in the world right now.

@MrLovenstein Finally. A metric by which I'm not doing to terribly at.

@neil yikes I've never gotten one of those at least

Hmm @ Flatpak. Maybe it's less effort to just help with the Lutris backport in Debian instead.

@requiem Sounds like something that @dadecoza would do.

@splendorr not me, I take every possible opportunity to make those kind of people uncomfortable, and I encourage others to do the same

@rrix Oooh!

@deane Isn't it quite common to put sqlite DBs in all kinds of interesting places?

@eugenialoli I've never used it myself, but hear so many good things about it from people who have jumped over to using it from commercial offerings. Good job to all involved!
