The "undermine the security, safety, and privacy of Oregonians by forcing device manufacturers to allow the use of parts of unknown origin in consumer devices" line is the same reasoning used by AT&T back in the old days as to why you couldn't buy your own phone or use a dial-up modem.

How did you get on my lawn?

This is rookie stuff. You print it out in 5 point font and bring a magnifying glass.

Taylor Lorenz did a very big disservice to herself by interviewing the LibsOfTikTok lady.

I made about double that on betting that Donald Trump would lose the election after he had already lost the election. Now that was something I'm really proud of.

She can't endorse him right now?

I've literally done the rm -rf / thing. I thought I was in a different subdirectory, but I was in / and did rm -rf .

When it didn't return after half a second, I looked at the command again and hit CTRL+C about 20 times in the span of 3 seconds.

I had to rebuild the install, but luckily didn't lose anything in /home.

Agreed, but I think there are enough flavors of Debian to satisfy someone if they want newer packages without resorting to Flatpak/Snap/etc.

Interesting. So far so good for me.

DNS blocking at the router never fails.

I don't mind the old packages (I'm typing from Debian Stable right now). If that's a bother for other people Debian Stable isn't the way to go. Even I wouldn't recommend Stable on a desktop/laptop unless that person knew what they were getting themselves into. I used to run Sid a while back, but didn't want to have to deal with the mild breakage from time to time. Generally speaking it's "stable enough" for most people, especially on a daily driver.

That being said, I have a few flatpaks running, but that's mostly because they're apps that aren't packaged for Debian.
