Somehow I am not made for reddit. A total newbie asked in r/debian for beginner advice. I recommended avoiding installing KDE and Gnome at the same time. Got shouted down, because - as one u/ put it - "All one has to do is learn the difference between meta packages and core desktops."
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The painted hall in Greenwich currently features an art installation of a large globe imitating the surface of the sun. Impressive and very beautiful. #greenwich #london #art
A few years ago, I explained to friend the German concept of "Vorauseilender Gehorsam", roughly translated as "anticipatory obedience".
It describes the property of civil service to implement policies before they have to.
I said that this term had a very bad connotation in Germany. My friend did not understand, thinking this was a good thing making Germany so efficient.
It is so sad to see the US civil service now acting exactly this way. No, it is not a good thing. #uspol
I'm using more and more apps from the F-Droid store, mainly because they are often very simple and get the job done. A good example: A meditation timer app, without subscriptions, background music, guides meditations, spirit journeys, social data and user tracking, event calendars and ads. Just a timer, a few bell options, the ability to set intervals. That's it. I love it!
I hate the trend of people posting screenshots of the ex-bird-site into my timeline, mostly with terrible content. I left that place for a reason, please don't transport that toxic "quote into my own bubble" culture here onto Mastodon. #psa

For all you cis folks. Feel free to boost.

About 40% of #curl's vulnerabilities could have been avoided had we not used C.
