Look at the natural world. The science. Anyone who doesn't realise we're heading for a +4°C world and a civilisation collapsing disaster either isn't paying attention or is paid to lie.
Pulling down current societal structures is the only way we might survive.

here's something fun ive been working on: an interactive callgraph viewer that lets me explore any codebase, mainly made so I can understand systemds mess easier

for fun, decided to compare systemds udevadm with gardendevs udevadm:
for context, each color is its own component/subfolder in the src directory

the systemd callgraph did not fit on my screen.
systemd callgraph, it spans a ton of different colors, is incredibly huge with thousands of nodes

We use words like "sucks" or "is bad" to describe things we get for free and that bothers the ever loving crap out of me, because you aren't shouting into a void. There's someone on the other end. Have some class.

pi = 3ₙ with no loss of accuracy.

All of life is now simpler.

I had a dream that Mozilla were bullied into including a toggle in Firefox that disables all the corpo bullshit (so no tracking, ads, AI, etc.) but they were really pissy about it so they called it "communism mode" and you had to click on a little Karl Marx to activate it

@navi @millihertz yeah, I hope to switch everything over, at least for the basic init.

The dissolution of the UK is getting closer

The poll indicated that if a referendum were held tomorrow on a united Ireland in the EU, 59% in Ireland would vote in favour and 22% against, with 63% voting in favour in Northern Ireland and 29% against.

 A MAJORITY of people on the island of Ireland would vote for Irish unity as part of the EU, according to a poll.

The poll indicated that if a referendum were held tomorrow on a united Ireland in the EU, 59% in Ireland would vote in favour and 22% against, with 63% voting in favour in Northern Ireland and 29% against.

Almost three-quarters of respondents in Northern Ireland said that if the UK held a referendum tomorrow on rejoining the EU, they would vote in favour (73%), with 23% stating they would vote against.

Also, shouting this one with the bold text:

Debian isn't just for servers. Debian rocks on a desktop.

"But Veronica, I need newer packages!"

Do you really? If I'm doing dev work and need something newer, I'm using containers. If I need desktop applications, there's usually Flatpak/AppImage/Nix/source. And backporting and pinning is an option if you want to get super nerdy with it.

I don't like when my desktop updates. It means I have to relearn stuff. If you feel the same way, consider Debian. On your desktop. Seriously.

@veronica so much this, and thank you. as Debian Developer I use unstable as productive system daily, and in 3 years I had only 3 major bugs (2x MESA, 1x kernel). If one can live with that you get get all the newest packages straight from the source. More stable than arch IME.

Today is a great day to learn about Debian.

It's far from perfect, but by golly once you learn it it's pretty sweet. Highlights:

  • Everything is transparent, sometimes painfully so
  • Debian isn't a company
  • You still have apt, so deb packages still probably work
  • Flatpak makes desktop use easy
  • Hate updates? Debian only releases a major new version every two years.
  • Nobody is ever, ever, ever going to sell you "Debian Pro"

If Ubuntu's got you down today, I dare you: give Debian a try.

I couldn't stop thinking about this so I had to make it and share it
