Devuan GNU+Linux

The @devuan Linux distribution has released its version 6, "Excalibur" version!

Devuan is essentially @debian but mainly with the horrible SystemD mistake reverted, and is the distribution I would primarily recommend to people who are capable of and don't mind a bit of extra manual fiddling around primarily when installing third party softwares as those often nowadays only include instructions and templates for SystemD (which is part of the extremely many issues with SystemD, assimilating, wrecking, extinguishing, making itself a dependency for, complicating and making debugging very much more difficult of everything else).
Devuan 6, "Excalibur", is based on the current version of Debian which is 13, "Trixie".

His website biography, which he did not personally prepare, falsely represented that he graduated ā€œcum laudeā€ from college and that he finished an LLM program he didn’t actually finish.

Debates over artificial intelligence consciousness distract from the real issue: the growing perception that AI is conscious — and the urgent need to resist designing systems that encourage this illusion. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/03/world/the-conscious-ai-is-coming/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #artificialintelligence #ai
Seemingly conscious artificial intelligence is coming soon

The more that AI is built explicitly to resemble people, the farther it will have strayed from its true potential as a source of human empowerment.
