I think the question is less “should they” and more, there is one already announced and in production, so what do you think it’ll look like

Wait. So the flaw was in uutils, and this article reported it as a systemd bug…?


Debian on my personal computers and servers.
Ubuntu on my work desktop, RHEL on work’s servers
I wouldn’t consider Debian “Canonical”-y, it’s just what they happened to pick as their upstream.
I tried some of the atomic distros, but ran into too many problems. When I buy a new computer, I sometimes have to run Opensuse Tumbleweed or Arch to get new enough hardware support… Too lazy to rebuild my kernel and mesa at home


The software manager they’re using already looks like GNOME 3+


uses GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 or LineageOS flashed onto a LG Tribute with zero Google apps, and everything backed up via nextcloud running on a headless Debian Raspberry Pie?
Hey now, it’s a Pixel 8 and Raspbian.
Two google apps in a separate profile with a different pin
Why do people keep referencing this like it was merged…
It was specifically rejected


Maybe to help, you can see where you’ve enabled “repositories” that APT can download from in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d
As long as you haven’t manually installed a .dpkg package, or manually modified it, they should be something like
deb.debian.org security.debian.org
Some things like Slack may try to add their own repositories down there
When you type “sudo apt install” it is allowed to install from any configured repos down there


UserDB does hold data connected to individual user accounts


I would argue, for now, this is malicious compliance from the open source community.
Adding an optional field in the UserDB to store an age covers the requirements of the law, without trying to help with the spirit of the law
But I do understand the boiling the frog side


A pull request to revert it was posted, but wasn’t merged
Edit: The revert patch being denied is when the drama started


They haven’t, whatever your opinion on it…
Pottering responded no and closed it, stating it’s just an optional field others can use how they please


At least for a long time, you had to set up RPMFusion to be able to play media, and having the additional repos tended to break on major upgrades for a bit after release
So, for beginners, it was a bit painful to suggest
That’s what I’m using these days at home
Only thing to keep in mind is that it won’t give you a notification when you need to do a major version update (pretty consistently every 2 years)
Probably less of an issue these days; they relaxed their stance on proprietary drivers:


The moving parts are in the device rather than the cable with Lightning. The tongue on USB-C is required to be deep enough that you can’t torque it with the cable during insertion/removal.
It’s not an obvious comparison, but the mechanical engineers where I work seem to have a mild preference for USB-C
The expensive part of both is that you need a microcontroller in the cable
USB-C also has way more pins for data/power


In the US, I could count on a single hand the number of Hollywood movies my coworkers have talked about in the last two years


They’re also required in chili competitions, so…
Traditional Red - no beans
Verde - no beans
Homestyle - requires beans, and they must be “clearly visible on the top”
People’s choice - requires beans
You can compete in traditional/Verde, but are generally required to also make one with beans for peoples choice: https://chilicookoff.com/uploads/2025-26-ICS-Chili-Rules.pdf


I currently do, maybe not twice, but about 20% more to avoid them
I also refuse to buy several cheaper car companies because of ads I saw years ago, and bought a more expensive car for my wife to avoid them
I don’t know the price difference, but there’s also a toilet paper brand I will never buy
I’m sure lots of ads work on me, but if your ad is annoying enough, I will pay significantly more to your competitor
If your motherboard manufacturer releases firmware through LVFS, you can use
sudo fwupdmgr refresh --force
sudo fwupdmgr update
But that should normally be offered through the GNOME or KDE update utility.
I’m assuming your motherboard manufacturer doesn’t support updating through the OS (or hasn’t released a new enough AGESA build) based off your issue
Trump needs the war to end before elections later this year… I think it’s extremely likely the US agrees to giving Iran more power than it had before the beginning, Trump just needs one small concession so he can call it a “win” even if he’s lost
