I've been daily driving it on my desktop and laptop for several months now, seems fine. But I don't need the bleeding edge either.

But that's not what the comment was about... The top level comment said Debian was hard to upgrade, and I have not had that experience.

That's not an unfair advantage! That's a totally fair advantage!

I don't understand that comment either. I've been using Debian for years on my server, and it just keeps up with the times (well with Debian times, not necessarily current times).

It's way easier than Kubuntu was for me, for example, which required reinstalling practically every time I wanted to upgrade. A few times the upgrade actually worked, but most of the time I had to reinstall.

It is more insane. The people controlling trump were ready for a win this time. They weren't in 2016, but they rectified that mistake by getting closer to him and stroking his ego while telling him what to do.

Even if it had hurt or killed only the intended targets (who were correctly identified and all), and no one else, you'd have to be some kind of sociopath to celebrate something like this.

These beeper gifts are insane. How would Japan react if the US gave them a fake atomic bomb as a gift on the anniversary of the first atomic bomb drop?

I was hoping this guy would be different, based on his back story. But, nope, clearly he's drinking the Flavor-aid as well.

If bird flu is such a minor issue, I say we inject it into Donald Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., and Elon Musk. Demonstrate how safe it is. Do it. Come on. DO IT YOU WUSSES.

I love how far I had to read before it was clear that it's not what Trump has; it's what people who disagree with him apparently have.

Diseases are often named after their victims...

Also, and this is buried in everything he is doing, but how arrogant do you have to be to assume that every person disagrees with him just because he's Donald Trump, and not because there are valid concerns?

"Many economists are saying that the market was due for a correction..."

I've seen that comment a few times in the last few days. They'll say ANYTHING to support Dear Leader.

They don't listen to what he says. They listen to what they want to hear.

I read most of his points and I agree with them...

But I have so much else to worry about, I just can't get worked up about this.

And I think he is ignoring the firestorm that would ensue if, say, openssh tried to change from using the current directory. There would probably be five forks started immediately to restore the original functionality - and is ssh really adding new features like he claims?

Maybe it could be a config option in the site install (which I thought it already was), but forcing a change to fix what is a minor problem isn't worth the headache.

I do hate that some of those package systems install software into home. It inflates my backups dramatically and unnecessarily. I use opt for that sort of thing instead. For example, my immich docker install is in /opt.
