A good reminder that a lot of the time, your boss is in a similar situation than you are, just a few salary levels higher and tasked to keep the morale high. Imagine if we got everyone below C level in a union, what kind of bargain power that would have... a man can dream
Ah natürlich. Wobei, Hannover hat echt schöne Ecken. Frankfurt dagegen würde ich ohne zu zögern nominieren, wenn Putin als Friedensbedingungen fordert, wenigstens eine westliche Stadt zu nuken.
Every culture other than maybe the British and the Dutch has good meals, some are just more hidden.
The neoliberal 80s and 90s killed families.
It's 50/50 if your grandma is horribly racist or actually pretty cool.
Bags in a bag are boring, have you heard of a box of boxes? You never know when you need a box at some point.
Parties were synonymous with heavy drinking where I grew up. You don't drink, you are an outsider.
Criminals are the usual, I guess. I've never been victim to a violent crime, no idea if it is common sense or just being lucky. Someone else recently said they get into serious fights regularly, I do wonder what they do wrong or I do right.
Crackfurt am Meins oder Hannover?
I can only assume she spoke from experience
They live in a world where 700 million people are currently starving. Do you think you care about the washing machines if your children have nothing to eat?
$ sudo pagan ritual
sudo: pagan: command not found
PS: I am appropriately sad that I am a person that knows linux and not a person that visits moonlit naked dancing rituals. Meh, you can't have it all.

Fit the mold or die. Always the same.
It will widen your horizon, they said. And here I was, foolishly thinking I could get away with half-assing statistics during my degree.
Get a nice cup of tea and calm down. I literally never said or implied any of that. Why do you feel that you need to personally attack me in particular?
All I said was that a supposedly easy topic turned into reading a lot of obscure code and papers which weren't really my field at the time.
For the record, I am well aware that the state of embedded system security is an absolute joke and I'm waiting for the day when it all finally halts and catches fire.
But that was just not the topic of this work. My work was efficient memory management under a lot of (specific) constraints, not memory safety.
Also, the root problem is NP-hard, so good luck finding a universal solution that works within real-life resource (chip space, power, price...) limits.
Except that the degree I did this for was in electrical engineering :(
Turns out the status quo of Linux memory management somehow works pretty damn okay, nobody seems to really know why, and nobody cares.
You are literally describing the idea of Debian. Yes, stable is old, but that is the whole purpose. You get (mostly) security updates only for a few years. No big updates, no surprises. Great for stuff like company PCs, servers, and other systems you want to just work™ with minimal admin work.
And testing is, well, for testing. Ironing out bugs and preparing the next stable. Although what you describes sounds more like unstable, the one where they explicitly say that they will break stuff to try out other stuff.
So, everything works as intended and advertised here. If you want a different approach to stability, I guess you will have to use a different distro, sorry.
I guess when you last tried it, it was at a time when a new stable came out, so testing was more or less equal to stable.
About the firefox: It ships Firefox ESR these days, meaning you get an older, less often updated tested firefox (with security updates, of course). Again, this is the whole point. Less updates, less admin work, more time to find and fix bugs. Remember the whole Quantum add-on mess, for example?
As others have said, you can install other versions of firefox (like the "normal" one) via flatpak, snap... nowadays. The same goes for other software, where you would need the newest and shiniest version sooner. I'm using debian on my work/uni laptop and a bunch of servers, and it works pretty well for me.
Same. Some days, my sense of "this is not right, people should not do this, I should not do this" is preventing me from doing really stupid things.
Besides, what if you did something ethically bad and get away with it, and then the empathy comes back? Wouldn't you just hate yourself that you scammed an old lady of her retirement money and destroyed some poor kid's future for minor personal gain on the way home?
