Warning: Debian 11 Long Term Support reaches end-of-life https://www.debian.org/News/2026/20260831 #debian #bullseye #debianLTS
@onepict I initially thought you were poking fun at the linked doc, so I had an odd experience reading it and saying "hey! This doesn't really feel goofy paternalistic and outdated, wait a sec is it actually written by women?"
The meta point - how is this from nearly a quarter century ago and progress feels just barely incremental. When this came out I was too young to be working in the industry, and last year I got a call from a female colleague before a meeting saying "I have some ideas and I know X is going to try to kick them out, can you have my back?". Like, it's nice to be One Of The Good Ones ™️ but it's wrong that that should be a thing.
(also, the thing about not calling people Nazis because it's overblown seems... quaint)
@djm62 and thank you for explaining how you make it better.
It's appreciated.

Vous connaissez la différence entre un malware et un GAFAM ?
La SEULE différence entre un malware et un GAFAM, c'est à QUI sont envoyées les données.

@sebsauvage y'a une différence : le malware en faisant gaffe y'a moyen d'y échapper.

A complaint sent by a son to his mother in 1750 BC Mesopotamia:
“From year to year, the clothes of the young gentlemen here become better, but you let my clothes get worse from year to year. Indeed, you persisted in making my clothes poorer and more scanty. At a time when in our house wool is used up like bread, you have made me poor clothes. The son of Adad-iddinam, whose father is only an assistant of my father, has two new sets of clothes, while you fuss even about a single set of clothes for me. In spite of the fact that you bore me and his mother only adopted him, his mother loves him, while you, you do not love me!”
@BrennMasson Merci pour le rattrapage !
@bfluzin@tldr.nettimeorg c'est globalement peu accessible mais intéressant quand même !

Prediction: Now that modern computing is going the way it goes (pricing, "AI", the bunch of rich ignorants running the show), I guess we are going to see another renaissance of #vintagecomputing #permacomputing and #retrocomputing. And I’m absolutely and utterly here for that.

Honoring the return of the long gone black cat.
Let me put it in language that they can understand: The Spartans were not GOATed at war.
They weren't even S-tier.
They were barely even mid.🤡
If learning this causes your entire worldview to collapse? Then your worldview was based on a lie.
@mekkaokereke yeah, Spartans kinda sucked, actually.

C'est une décision qui fait bondir la Ligue pour la protection des oiseaux.
La chasse à la tourterelle des bois vient d'être officiellement réautorisée par le gouvernement pour la saison 2026-2027.
Un arrêté ministériel autorise désormais les chasseurs à tuer 12 000 tourterelles sur l’ensemble du territoire hexagonal. Un quota revu à la hausse.
La chasse à la tourterelle des bois avait été suspendue en France en 2021 à cause de l’inquiétant déclin des populations.
