"There but for the grace of god go thee."

Or, to be less poetic, "don't get cocky".

Hacks can happen to anyone. Better lessons to learn is "don't enable or install what you don't need" and "keep machines you don't trust off your local network"

Because Google was so focused and strategic before the pandemic rollseyes.

The issue is Google’s broken governance and incentive system, which gives product owners and executives incentives for new products and actively disincentivizes maintaining and improving existing products...and that was a thing from well before the pandemic hit.

It's why Google launched three pay systems and had five messaging systems at the same time.

And, finally, this is all because of the strategy set by senior leaders.

Stable means different things in different contexts.

Debian being stable is like RHEL being stable. You're not jury talking about "doesn't crash", you're talking about APIS, behaviours, features and such being assured not to change.

That's not necessarily a good thing for a general purpose desktop, but for an enterprise workstation or server, yes.

So it's not so much that Debian would replace Fedora, it's the Debian would replace RHEL or CentOS. For a Fedora equivalent, there's Ubuntu and the like.

Debian Stable.

It's always the answer to "what distro do I want to use when I care about stability and support-ability.

Does it work the other way? Can I follow Threads users without being on threads.net myself?

Coincidentally, that's what using it is like, too. :)

When you say that the keyboard works: do the brightnesss, mute and volume controls do what they're supposed to do?

HP laptops--at least business-grade ones--are notorious for sending nonstandard scan codes and requiring custom drivers.

More like seventy five cents, given Google's profit margins.
