Could be that the companies they supplied to filed for damages, due to them not meeting supply targets…

Well, in hopes that you’re not just trolling, maybe you’ll believe a dictionary that “stable” is ambiguous in this context. Because this is one of the listed meanings:

(computing) Of software: established to be relatively free of bugs, as opposed to a beta version.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stable#Adjective

It also lists your meaning. I’m not saying that you’re wrong. I’m saying it’s ambiguous, i.e. there’s two meanings that could apply here.
Well, and personally, I do feel like more people will interpret “stable” to mean bug-free here, because Debian is a piece of software to them.

Yeah, but that’s exactly the meme that I’m talking about.

It’s always ambiguous what is meant by stability. And as soon as you complain about Debian actually breaking very easily, folks will readily tell you about the technicality that it just means it doesn’t change very often.

Having btrfs+snapper set up by default sounds good. I wish Debian-based distros in general would finally make a move there. It’s a bit of a meme that folks laud Debian for its stability, but you can easily break it with one wrong command.

And who knows, maybe TuxedoOS adopting it can serve as a proof of concept and get Debian itself to adopt btrfs sooner.

More of a general tip: https://reuse.software/ can help to get this stuff right.

Pretty sure, it won’t be able to help with your use-case of copy-pasting code snippets, though (it’s not at all trivial to know which parts you copy-pasted), but it gives you a structure to work with and can automatically annotate new source files.

Hmm, I’m not sure you do. It’s a pun. “Just dua lipa” sounds like “just do a leap-a”, like someone with an Italian accent might sound like.

Took me a moment to get it, too, though…

Posteo is mostly just a deployment of RoundCube.

Mind you, I do assume they have deployment scripts and code for handling payments and such, which aren’t open-source.

I also have to say, though, a hosted service using open-source is *nice*, because they will hopeful contribute back to that, but it’s not much beyond that.
You cannot know, whether they actually run the software that they publish in their repository, so auditing the open-source code hardly tells you anything about the trustworthiness of the actual service.

For me, the green part is: Because I used them while cooking and don’t want to get anything else dirty.

I’m still adjusting to them for eating (should probably cut/choose my veggies, noodles etc. to rather be long+thin). But for cooking, I do find them quite good.

I can use wooden chopsticks in my non-stick pan. And they’re really useful for stirring food, as you can just hold them close together (or use a single stick), when the food is prone to spilling.

I don’t yet have the dexterity to always successfully flip foods in my frying pan with chopsticks, but it’s not like I have that with other utensils. Whether chopsticks, spatula or fork, it’s always a fiddly bugger.

Yeah, we’re also still on 24.04. And from what I’ve seen, 26.04 will ship with Plasma 6.6, not 6.7.

Maybe the kubuntu-backports repository can give it earlier than that, but yeah, I don’t even know yet, when we’ll upgrade to 26.04.
Good point, though, about the .01 release. Maybe I’ll start bothering IT when that’s out.

I would have a use for it at $DAYJOB, but unfortunately my work laptop is on an ancient version of Ubuntu, so gonna be a few more years before I can use it…

The atoms are there for sure, but we could argue, whether it is a thing/object without an animal being aware of it, since it’s us that define things to be objects.

The universe doesn’t care whether a pile of atoms behind Pluto happens to be chair-shaped. It’s only when we look at it, that we declare it an object.

Gonna throw in EtherPad. It’s been like ten years, since I properly used it, but I believe, it’s relatively minimal, so pretty much just Markdown.

There’s also lots of publicly hosted instances you can use: https://scanner.etherpad.org/

Better than the original. As in, it’s a faithful reimplementation with quality of life improvements, like higher resolution, support for modern operating systems, and most loading times eliminated.

I believe, there’s still tiny differences to how the original behaved in certain situations, which is why they don’t call it “1.0” yet, but you’re not going to notice while playing.

Oh, huh, I saw the release announcement for Fedora 44 explicitly mention Plasma 6.6, so I figured it was tied to the release. 🫠

Yeah, it should come with the next Fedora release, which is scheduled for October 20th.

Feature updates, like this new Plasma version, get shipped every half year on Fedora. In between, you mostly just get security and bug fixes…

I find that setting the power profile to “Power-Saver” makes a huge difference.

KDE has support for that built-in, although I’m not sure, if distributions install the corresponding daemon on desktop systems: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon

You should be able to cycle through power profiles with Meta+B on KDE.
You can also see and change the profile via the systray icon for the battery, but on a desktop system, that presumably won’t be shown by default.

Otherwise, powerprofilesctl is also an option, as described in that link.

It was one of the stated goals for Servo itself to be designed like that. But I don’t think anyone at Mozilla expected Servo to take over from Gecko. They were already quite happy that they were able to incorporate Servo’s style engine and URL bar implementation and such into Gecko.

I don’t think that’s quite right. The Linux kernel, Firefox and Chromium all sit around 30 millions lines of code, last I checked, so if you add the rest of the operating system, it should still have more lines of code than the browser.

But yes, similar order of magnitude.

Hmm, seems to work like you want for me. Using Plasma 6.6 with the icons-only task manager…

Should perhaps add that you can generally run Linux distributions off of a USB stick for that first impression.

Just follow a tutorial for how to install Linux and when you see the actual installer on screen, you can just close the installer without installing and then click around in the UI.

It will be slow, because it’s running off that slow USB connection, but otherwise this is pretty much the operating system as it is when fully installed.
