@dzu I haven't tried bb under wayland yet, and just switched over to Wayland full time myself a few weeks ago, but I'll check it out. aa upstream has indicated that he's interested in getting aquanted with that very old codebase so I'm hoping that we can get some of the long-standing bugs fixed... without introducing too many worse ones :)

Today is the first the Debian packages I maintain are up to date since... I think I first became DPL... *phew*. Now to get desktop-base updated and fix a bunch of bugs before the Trixie freezes kick in. I'm in a much better space than I've been in the last year so I'm also starting to dig into some problems I want to solve for Forky, and get them uploaded shortly after Trixie is released.

@pid_eins Modern Dell, Lenovo and HP firmware too.

@pid_eins For one, no more need for USB media!

@mattl People use words differently, some words used to have very, very different meanings over time as they got appropriated and misappropriated. Like 'snowflake' for example.

@JauntyArt Couple of... weeks!?

@carlypage And people in the UK.... are just ok with this?

@jmlich I have that second one from the bottom too (amazfit neo). I don't actually use it as a smartwatch, but it reminds me of the old school Casios and that's why I like it.

@georgetakei what an ignorant statement.

@Hundstrasse wow nice!

@eth0 I believe it's called enp0s25 now.

@thibaultamartin @pabloyoyoista @postmarketOS @gnome I only have a Librem 5 but I'm so impressed with what they have achieved with Phosh, really amazing software!

@EndIsraeliApartheid It's insane. Trump unhinged statements deserve worldwide sanctions.

@bri_seven I got my nails painted once and hated it (it just felt dirty and I wanted to get it off). However, it will give me much more satisfaction knowing that it pisses off bigots, so thanks for the tip, the next time someone wants to paint my nails I'll comply!

@jgys For example, if you import a used Apple part (like a display) from China, this is considered counterfit the same way that you would import fake clothing to sell. Your goods will be seized and you can face criminal liability. But, that's just some of the things Louis covers, there's also a lot that he doesn't.

@jgys He was one of the people at the forefront of right to repair, so yes it's one of his main issues with Apple, but far from the only or even most important one. He also dives deep into quality issues (which doesn't make Apple evil per sé), but he also delves into how Apple screws over their service centers, employees and users. Also in particular he focusses on how they abuse IP rights to avoid importing of used parts.

@jgys Heh, I used to have a very good YouTube playlist for this that contained some great videos on the topic (Louis Rossman famously covers many of Apple's biggest problems), but no, I don't see it as sealioning, I think more people should ask about it and talk about it because the issues are huge and severe. I think I'll go ahead and make a web page dedicated to this rather than rely on YouTube for a playlist and pass it on!

@jgys Oh yeah as I alluded to before, it works great for me and I know how to maintain services, but I'm not pushing it or recommending it to anyone for exactly the reasons you mention.
