When bugs begin creeping into my workflow, I start looking at moving back to #Debian. It's a friendly port in a storm. (Apologies for the mixed metaphor)
@contrapunctus @badri@scholar.social @badri@snipetteville.in @bodil @ravi @sahil RMS originally did not recommend #Debian because non-free section was provided on official repos even though it was not installed by default. Recently we started including non-free-firmware ( a subset of non-free section) on official installation media too. Firmware is run on the external device and not your main CPU, this how firmware is differentiated from software.
I am wondering if it is only #Debian or #KDE or that things have deteriorated so much in #Mozilla #Firefox to the point that I can barely use it:
from time to time can't move tabs, clicks in the top bar stop working completely until I restart it
sometimes the text cursor disappear or appears in wrong position different from where the text is actually inserted in textarea/input
this makes it really stressful and unpractical to use, even if it has been the browser I use my whole life
#rant ?

9to5Linux Weekly Roundup - November 23rd, 2025
@cstross Reminds me of the hoops I have to jump through to get #iso8601 dates in my #Debian apps via the `LC_TIME` environment variable and a bespoke `en_SE` “English - Sweden” custom locale. https://blog.carsoncheng.ca/2021/03/use-iso-8601-dates-in-pcmanfm-on-debian.html . This was the “easiest” solution I found in 2022 after exploring options to get #Firefox, #Thunderbird, and other apps to display YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS style time stamps.
In #macOS, I think you just modify `System Preferences > Language & Region > Advanced > Dates`.
MiniDebConf Busan 2025 talks start soon. You are not in Busan, don't worry, you can follow the talks online. You can find the schedule here: https://busan2025.mini.debconf.org/schedule/ #debian #miniDebConfBusan #11
After some months in which i was stressed with some "university promotion exam" (which ended well btw). Finally, i've started updating the computers I use to #Debian 13 #Trixie.
Everything perfect with firsts.
Minir updates i needed KDE removed my single click preference hehehe and i restored it and some strange minot thing going on with accents "keyed" too slow in emacs (if somebuddy has it tell me and i link/write the fix) related with previous kde5 config)
A client sends me an email:
"Do you remember that internal backup server you set up a few years ago? Could you log in and check if everything’s okay? I’m not seeing any errors, but I’m not sure if it’s actually working properly".
I have a vague memory of it - I’m guessing “a few years ago” is quite a high number.
They send me the credentials and I log in:
08:46:41 up 2957 days, 18:01, 1 user, load average: 7.09, 2.34, 1.50
And, surprisingly, no errors.
Everything is working correctly, backups are present, and the disks show no issues whatsoever.
Debian.
Boot date: 14/04/2017.
Impressive.
The Debian Publicity Team will no longer post on X/Twitter. We took this decision since we feel X doesn't reflect Debian shared values as stated in our social contract, code of conduct and diversity statement. X evolved into a place where people we care about don't feel safe.

OpenStreetMap, an open-source global map database, moved its servers from Ubuntu to Debian 12, solving I/O issues and boosting performance.

Linux distributions, including #Debian, should install an ad blocker for their web browsers by default.

Since 2010, the Debian Snapshot service functions as a "wayback machine" that allows access to old packages based on dates and version numbers. However, this service has been in need for big maintenance for quite a while. Luckily, thanks to Glasklar Teknik AB and DSA in June 2024 the service has been migrated to new hardware and is now fully up and running again: enjoy https://snapshot.debian.org/ https://micronews.debian.org/2024/1722416374.html #debian
