Really? I must not have much to say ;)

Read the debian release docs about the major upgrade when that time comes. They sometime contain important adaptations to make your upgraded install similar to a fresh one.

Windows need a regular reinstall. Not so much on linux.
My daily driver at work is the same install from 2000. I was so impressed with debians abillity to do a major upgrade, that it kind of became a game, to see how long i could upgrade it. A fresh install and copy over /home would have been more sane ;) Also with lvm you can migrate your running install to a new os drive while working. So hardware swap is a 5 min process. Boot new hw on old disk, with usb adapter. pvmove the install to the new drive. Install grub.

I do fresh installs on many other machines tho. My daily driver at home and the emergency laptop is installed when they are aquired, and upgraded as long as the hardware functions.

Sls-> redhat -> debian (potato) around year 2000 ish. Been running debian since.

If you have the url. Have you looked for it on the wayback internet archive?

Thank you. Lots of different views. Will read. There was also recently an talk on hard fork on this issue. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tZSteN2g5yM

My personal opinion is that things that let you curate your own content like lemmy/reddit is good(ish) and things where the company curate the feed is more a trap. But i am not a scientist, just curious.

I am not saying you are wrong. But you need to show us unbiased research that contradict the research that does show a link.
Heck even meta’s own research (as biased as it gets) show a significant link.

Now that is shocking to hear. You do not have to deal with the whims of the general public. One would imagine anything would be better.

If everyone had save states the world would not yet have completed one whole day. Stuck perpetually in a time loop until everyone was happy?

Wtf! A teachers union was still on X ??

This is an example of a problematic statement. Due to one link to a technical paper. You try to paint kovarex with the actions of another person. Claiming a “history of problematic statements” is just a blatant lie. This type of slander is imho a more problematic statement then kovarex linking of a technical paper.

I myself have never researched the history of every author, on every webpage i have ever linked to. It is just not a reasonable ask.

Thank you for beeing the voice of reason. Factorio have just improved and improved over the years. A game that have been neglected for a decade needs sales ofcourse. Factorio is not that.
I do not know how, but factorio is better value for money then all the gratis games i have on steam.

This is the absolute great thing about debian. The transparency. There is drama everywhere, but with debian it is all out in the open. Not something you have the read between the lines from a pr story.

Debian is fucking great!

Did we read the same article? Where was the ai-only part?

That is not the vendor lock in that they crave.

As long as there is a easy way to disable it. And clearly communicated what they are doing. I do not begrudge mozilla trying to remain competitive with mainstream.

Congratulations! I hope you never read this!

And most importantly, there is not an algorithmic feed. With a singular purpose to keep you hooked as long as possible.

Problem is that those people have the internet now…

All of the original mods got kicked during the subreddit strikes. They are all replaced by stooges.
