  • Is musl libc still not suitable for workstations?

  • The GPU driver issue would really only be a problem for Nvidia stuff.

  • Ransom may be too dumb to understand it, but he is principled enough to accept and support it.

  • “Oh, we don’t do it for the numbers. We do it to quiet the voices in our heads.”

    I love Lower Decks as a while, but I think this is the single best-written line in the entire show.

  • They Might Be Giants collaborated with them and released a new t-shirt in 2025, I think to commemorate the anniversary of their initial collaboration back in the mid 2000s.

  • ?

    10 minutes of Memory Alpha searching yields no results. I'm truly stumped.

    EDIT: I see mentions of Beverly Crusher getting turned into a dog by Q, but nothing similar for Riker.

  • Architecting Consent for AI: Deceptive Patterns in Firefox Link Previews

    Jump

  • For me, as long as Debian still packages it and disables these features, I’ll be fine, but LibreWolf looks more and more tempting these days, and having tried it a bit, I can live with the minor annoyances.

  • Personal growth, still punk as fuck

    Jump

  • The Star Trek IV punk is one of those jokes that’s so unfunny it causes an integer overflow and loops back around to absolutely hilarious.

  • [Help request] They say "don't break Debian" but apparently I managed to do it.

    Jump

  • I feel like it was more than the package manager whining; I think xorg literally wouldn’t start after the update, although it’s been so long now that I could be misremembering.

    Honestly, I probably could have salvaged the install if I’d wanted to without too much difficulty, but it was just a VM for testing distro packaging rather than a daily driver device.

    Still, what you say is good to know, and perhaps I should hold back on the Pacman slander. I’ve just been using Debian for around 4 years now and had pretty good reliability; then again, Debian (and most distros, with their pitiful documentation) would probably be very hard to use without Archwiki.

  • [Help request] They say "don't break Debian" but apparently I managed to do it.

    Jump

  • Eh, I disagree with you on Pacman. It could be possible I was doing something stupid, but I've had Arch VMs where I didn't open them for three months, and when I tried to update them I got a colossally messed up install.

    I just made a new VM, as I really only need it when I need to make sure a package has the correct dependencies on Arch.

  • [Help request] They say "don't break Debian" but apparently I managed to do it.

    Jump

  • Eh; testing doesn't break THAT often. Having used it on many of my devices for almost 4 years, I can count on one hand the number of times it broke in a way I had to chroot in to fix it.

    This is very unlikely to be because they are using testing.

    Still, using Debian Stable is probably a smarter idea for this user.

  • GNOME & Firefox Consider Disabling Middle Click Paste By Default: "An X11'ism...Dumpster Fire"

    Jump

  • I like using this on my desktop, but it's way too easy to trigger this by accident on a laptop, so I disable it on there.

  • Flatpack apps performance on Linux Mint

    Jump

  • My best guess is that it's not a Flatpak permissions issue as others are claiming; the software is just trying to use your iGPU (which is usually crappy) instead of your dGPU.

    Try taking whatever command you use to start the program and tacking DRI_PRIME=1 on the front. This has often worked for me on applications regardless of whether they're native or Flatpak.

  • It's a mostly multi-universal constant

    Jump

  • The weird thing about that is I feel like whoever are Bashir’s commanding officers during the rest of his career would have had to have hand-picked him despite that, and thus wouldn’t have qualms about promoting him either.

  • 2026 is the year of the linux desktop

    Jump

  • iOS has been getting a bit buggier for me these past few years, but iOS 26 is a whole other level of bad.

    With what Google's been doing to AOSP, I just hope GrapheneOS and LineageOS can hold on just long enough until we can get some livable solution for Linux phones.
