I know lemmy has a gigantic hate boner for LLMs, but if you plugged this scenario into a good one (probably not the bog standard “free” chatgpt in bing) you’ll probably get a very entertaining conversation.

For me, no…

I’ve gone from debian 9 to debian 11 and now debian sid without reinstalling OS on my desktop

Same with my servers. Debian 8 -> 11 all upgrades in-place. Will have to upgrade to 12 soon…

The only time i messed up an upgrade is when accidentally used the codename “bookworm” in the sources file and skipped a major version. The system tried to fully upgrade 2 versions ahead and promptly borked itself… But it was an LXC container so i just rolled back my mistake. Lesson learned…

But yeah. Full re-installs have NEVER been a thing for me since going debian. It will even happily clone to a new SSD when you need to upgrade your hardware. (As long as your new hardware has in-kernel drivers, or at least some basic functionality to boot and fix the problem, if any)

Once people become familar with the basics of linux, they realize that almost anything that these niche distros offer can be accomplished in debian

You’ll always end up on debian. You just dont know it yet

I keep hearing how addictive nicotine is (7x more than heroin??), but in my experience, i never got addicted. Is there something wrong with my brain?

I never smoked two packs a day, but i spent at least 3 years smoking socially (2 or 3 smokes at work every day and then 2 or 3 smokes at the bar on the weekend). So around a pack a week.

But during that time, i could always just take a week or two off if i needed to. I always wanted a smoke (especially with a beer or coffee) but i could resist the urge, no problem.

At the end of the 3 years, i just quit cold turkey. I would keep smoking once in a while with a beer, but i never went back to regular smoking…

Do you only get addicted if you’re smoking a pack a day or more?

Sane move by maintainer, but he should not go around calling other people’s code crap unless there is proof that the code was actually crap with gaping security hole

To be fair, it looks like the debian maintainer started the unfriendly discourse by calling the work of other FOSS devs “crap”

Everyone needs to chill out, otherwise we have another potential XZ social engineering attack

It would be catastrophic for something like keepass to have a malicious maintainer take over

Debian sid user here, and long time keepassxc user

Debian maintainer didnt communicate this well, but i agree that i dont want my password manager having any access to networking or interacting with anything other than the clipboard.

I’m not a developer or a security expert. This is just my gut feeling talking

Why not just fix sudo then?

Prompts are just the reverse of image recognition AI tagging stuff.

Alt text is exactly the kind of tedious work that AI would be good at doing, but everyone in the fediverse seems to have a huge hate boner for ANYTHING AI…

Fediverse: write a fucking essay every time you post an image… But make sure you waste time doing it manually, instead of using AI tools!!!

I’m using sid and i’m loving thia change. It’s an obvious visual cue to check if i’m about to remove something important like my whole desktop environment lol

None of my coworkers drive to the office and we actually like seeing each other… Hybrid remote work is great for us

I think 90% of the problem is people being forced to drive everywhere

I love KDE. Been using it for 10 years

One question i’ve always had though… Does anyone actually use the default KDE software like konqueror, kmail, kontacts, etc? Why not just focus on the desktop environment?

I gave my mom a macbook with debian KDE and a mac OS theme… I dont think she’s noticed yet…
