Oh yesterday was the 23rd Birthday of Debian stable 🎂🍾 On this day in 1996, Debian 1.1 "Buzz" was released.

I remember I started to play with Linux a couple of months just before that date and how I struggled to get some devices or even X working sometimes but it helped me to understand better how things work. Had to RTFM a lot but still enjoying the ride and even if tried a couple of other distributions I always came back to #debian.

PS : bring back Sys V pleaaase ...😅

Its worse than I thought. #Ubuntu 19.10 is completely removing 32-bit software support outright.

This will completely break legacy application support, gaming (especially Steam), and even modern software like Wine.

At least #Debian is retaining 32-bit software support, for now.

@KyleRuzic electric cars, in general, are not the panacea people think they are.

#FreedomBox can help protect your data from being mined on the internet. But what happens when your data is mined in the physical world?

"Most of our concerns about privacy [can] feel theoretical at times. But there is nothing theoretical about Bluetooth beacon technology that follows you into retail stores [and] tracks your movement down to the meter."

Let me just be more explicit: if your software cannot be used by nazis then your software is not free software.

This is not the correct place to fight hate speech. Block the instances. Report hate speech to the authorities. Settle it using the existing legal frameworks to do so, and if they are insufficient, then write to your lawmakers.

But if you support free software, it is not the place to address this issue, by definition.
