Debian & Stuff
Ceci est un rappel de l’événement Debian and Stuff de #Debian Québec qui aura lieu demain samedi 27 septembre à #Montréal. Venez travailler sur un projet Debian ou vous renseigner sur Debian. Il y aura des intervenants francophones, anglophones et lusophone (Brésil) pour répondre aux questions.

Debian & Stuff
This is a reminder of #Debian Quebec's Debian and Stuff event tomorrow Sat 27 Sept in #Montreal. Come work on a Debian project or come to learn about Debian. There will be English, French and Brazilian Portugese speakers to answer any questions.

@Mer__edith about Signal and potential Chat Control in the EU:
“We would continue to operate as long as we could. Similar to how we do in Iran, similar to how we’ve done in response to being blocked in Russia, working with our community to set up proxies so that people who are within these regions have access to Signal. ”
Think about that! They might be forced to do in the EU what they did in Russia and Iran. https://english.elpais.com/technology/2025-09-14/signal-president-meredith-whittaker-in-technology-its-way-too-easy-for-marketing-to-replace-substance-thats-whats-happened-with-telegram.html

@fdroidorg uninstalling and reinstalling in the main profile allowed me to install in the sub-account. Don't know why. Unexpected keyboard was already the most recent version in the main profile, but who cares, it's installed now 😁 Thanks so much!!

@fdroidorg PS, everything I've found when searching says to uninstall the previously installed app, but it isn't installed yet (not in this profile at least)

@fdroidorg Thank you, that did the trick! Now, when trying to install @unexpectedkeyboard in the sub-account, I get the error

INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATILE: Existing package juloo.keyboard2 signatures do not match newer version; ignoring!

Can you help with this or is this a problem for the app developer?

Thanks

@fdroidorg PS, I've tried deleting and downloading the apk again 3 times and each time I'm told the apk does not appear valid

fdroidorg@floss.social I just tried to install @fdroidorg from your site and again from the downloaded apk. Both gave me the error that the install failed because the apk appeared invalid. This is on a sub-account on @GrapheneOS Any idea what might be causing this?

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.

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

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!

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.

@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"? 🤔

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

@UncleDuke1969 Looks like it's really constipated. Ouch!

@UncleDuke1969 all just part of the great Recycle of Life

Phishing?? 5/5
