This should not be controversial: It is not normal, or acceptable, in a democracy for politicians and political commentators to call for killing citizens of that country.

Welcome to Trump’s America, where they fire Karen Attiah and Matthew Dowd for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s right-wing extremism and applaud Brian Kilmeade for suggesting we murder the homeless.

En vrai, on est combien de français / francophones sur le Fediverse ? Ça vaut bien un sondage.
Boost pour que ça fasse le tour du Fediverse !

Debian Québec
@Debian Québec is having a Debian & Stuff in a couple of weeks to work on Debian or other projects. All welcome. There will be English, French and Portugese speaking people in attendance to answer any questions people may have about Debian.

Putting that PhD to work!

@conservancy I couldn't be there. Is there a video or even a transcript of the event?

We share myriad facial expressions with our simian cousins. Among the most common are those engendered by happiness, anger, surprise, fear, sadness, and kale.

A gorilla eating kale scowls.

Alright Fedi. This is going to be my more far fetched question as of yet.

Do any of you happens to have, lying in a box somewhere, a Photo CD? And if so, would you be willing to part with it?

Just to clear any possible confusion, I’m specifically looking for a disc in the Photo CD format, not a CD-R on which pictures have been stored as files. Here is the article on the subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_CD.

Boosts are appreciated, as my search has not been fruitful this far.

Google asks what we think of their plans to block Android app installs outside of Google Play (unless the developers let Google verify their identity and pay a fee).

Want to tell them your opinion, just submit this form:

Wet razors
Multi-blade razors are a SHAM. I hadn't used mine a lot for awhile, so I hadn't bought blades for ages. They have become VERY expensive. I used to get 18 for 8 or $10, which was already expensive. Now, they are $35 for 12 blades. ROBBERY.

A friend suggested a safety razor with double edged blades. WHAT! They still make those? Yes!

The blades are way cheaper. So I bought a handle and blades. It shaves easily as closely as a mutliblade and moves across the skin more easily. Big win!

For about a decade I've developed and maintained vmdb2, a program to create a virtual machine image with Debian installed. Basically, it installs Debian in a file that can be used to boot a virtual machine.

[DELETED for space]

Boosts are welcome.

EDIT: There are some users. I'm asking for help: https://toot.liw.fi/@liw/115200771616784105

My effort for the day

Almost 2 months with Debian and it almost replaced Windows for most of my tasks. I’ve distrohopped between dozens of distros in the past, felt a bit comfortable with Linux Mint but then I was ricing and breaking it too often.

Moved from Ubuntu to Debian for packaging work and I’ve never used a Linux Distro this stable and comfortable to use.

Debian Day 2025, Montreal
And a happy birthday it was for @Debian in @Montreal this year. Some participating debianites are missing from the photo.

Debian turned 32 today! 🎉

💡 The Debian project was officially founded on August 16, 1993, by Ian Murdock. This day is also known as Debian Day.

Happy Birthday, Debian, August 16, 1993. There are two numerical balloons over the Debian logo on the left that say 32.

Below, there are many balloons and confetti.

@ayke Wow the NetBSD folks must have some kinda seriously industrial grade hardware to be able to run so long :p

@fdroidorg do you mean click the "+1" for which a mouseover says "Vote: I am impacted"? 🤔

Intel laid off several employees who were key maintainers of Linux kernel drivers. As a result, many drivers, including those for CPU temperature and the Slim Bootloader, are now "Orphaned" and lack anyone to maintain them https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-More-Orphans-Maintainers

Debian 13 "trixie" has been released, thanks to everyone involved! "trixie" images are available for download at https://www.debian.org/distrib/ or you can run apt full-upgrade as always ;-)

Cake has landed, now I just need to dig up some multiplugs and wait for the ISOs to build and crowd to show up to help test! Happy Trixie day everyone! #debian
