Not using AI generated randomness in #opensource like decided by #gentoo today is a really good and important decision, I really hope upstream projects and of course #debian follow this!
Exciting day at #MNT Research working on the Pocket Reform! Today I am attaching CPU modules to adapter boards and then attaching adapter boards to logic boards. Almost ready to start flashing the system image (hello #Debian) onto them soon after @mntmn finishes the final touches! #OSHW
Meanwhile, #Debian is considering rolling #xz back not only to the point before the backdoor was added, but to where the person who _wrote_ the backdoor hadn't contributed any code to xz yet.
Which means considering creating patches to fix ABI breakage such a rollback would cause.
guyss my ma gave me her old HP Elitebook from 2012 its so beautyifful and thick and i managed to bypass the admin locks on it (it was a work laptop and some fuckers bought the school and ran it into the ground 8P) and installed debiannnnnn i feel so slay this is my new school laptop im gonna cover this in stickers lolol #linux, #laptops, #debian
The longer I use #debian and the more I use other (Berkeley software or Linux™) distributions the more I feel Debian needs to change to live much longer.
E.g. I find it really hard to get information how a package is build/packaged. What patches are included? Are the build flags different to other distributions? Why does Debian use its own Linux™ kernel config and not the defconfig of the corresponding CPU ISA? Why does it not do defconfig + downstream {en,dis}ables?
I seem to have successfully upgraded my server. Well, I say me, I just typed in a few commands and #Debian did the rest. Yay! I even got around to purging obsolete config files from the days of debian8. #linux
> C’est en effet le 5 mars 2004 que Mark Shuttleworth lance (et finance) la société #Canonical, la société derrière #Ubuntu. Mark #Shuttleworth connait bien le monde Linux puisqu’il était un développeur de #Debian dans le milieu des années 90, c’est-à-dire au début de la distribution.

Merci à toutes les contributrices et contributeurs de Ubuntu et de Debian. Ma vie a changé grâce à eux :blobheart:
#Debian has been moving more towards the deb.debian.org mirror which is provided by a single CDN company, #Fastly. It works well, but also feeds an enormous amount of #metadata to a single company, and it can be used to track computers and maybe even people. And the privacy policy in effect is unclear. Fastly says the #privacy policy of the "subscriber" applies, but the privacy policy for deb.debian.org is not listed anywhere I could find. Anyone have any insight here?
Can anyone using #Debian on a fairly good pc or laptop download the Firestorm #secondlife client and tell me what your FPS is like, and how smooth it is in crowded or populated sims
