@jxself And founded the GNU operating system.

@bill I'm certain that OpenBSD has similar release notes and upgrade notes for different situations, so your post is a bit silly.

PS. I looked them up, so yes, there are.

PPS. Upgrading from Bookworm to Trixie on my desktop, laptop and servers was pretty trivial.

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow @Free_Press @10tothe22 Don't you realise, liberals want US imperialist theft and murder done by nice well-spoken leaders who you can trust to behave themselves at a dinner party.

@10tothe22 @Free_Press @Captain_Jack_Sparrow The epitome of projection.

Biden is a war criminal. Full stop.

@artfulrobot @debian Only the Debian Live image uses the Calamares installer. Other images such as netinstall use Debian's own installer.

I've never used the Calamares installer (not a Debian thing, but a cross distribution thing) so can't help much. It's probably best to send in a bug report so that if there is a problem, it can be discussed and resolved.

@benjamineskola @thetemp It's funny, I thought ... what are you on about, GNU #Emacs does that!

Then I had a look at my init file (kept with Org babel) and there it was:

use-package visual-fill-column

etc.

It's been there so long that I'd basically forgotten about it.

@zyzzyxdonta I use ido with fuzzy matching so I have this kind of thing happening when I name a new file/directory or rename a file or directory.

To stop ido doing its fuzzy matching thing, I hit C-f, which then lets me use whatever name I want without interference.

Wondering why you might want to use GNU Emacs?

@brettk I don't know what's happened for you (or maybe it's my Debian box), but I still have access to all the tty screens I ever did.

PS. Ooops, missed "testing." I'll get round to it at some point in this Debian round.

@jameshowell "when you die, I will eat you".

Actually, it's not a bad attitude, for a cat.
