Linux@lemmy.ml•Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.
58·4 months agoThe post on Mastodon has a screenshot of the post edit history:

And a copy-pasted response from a moderator (the most relevant bit):
So in my opinion, if your intention was to show political support for diversity, you should avoid using this flag. This will allow us to refuse the use of a flag for instance saying ‘non-queer’, If we allow your flag, then we have to admit also other similar political flags, both supporting and opposing diversity.

Linux@programming.dev•Am upgrading from thinkpad to framework 16 with amd. Looking for distro reccommendations.
3·1 year agoOk, I understand what you meant, thanks.
Basically, after I’ve read all of that, it’s clear as day that security is not a priority on Testing. And while band-aid solutions do exist, it’s simply not designed to be secure.
Yeah, I wouldn’t run it in a production environment.

1·1 year agoSure, but even in those “few cases” Testing will get them soon.
I did read at some point that Testing may receive security updates later than stable, might be in those cases in which backports come straight from unstable.

1·1 year agoI don’t recommend going for (Debian’s/Devuan’s) testing (branch) as it targets a peculiar niche that I fail to understand; e.g. it doesn’t receive the security backports like Stable does nor does it receive them as soon as Unstable/Sid does. Unstable/Sid could work, but I would definitely setup (GRUB-)Btrfs + Timeshift/Snapper to retain my sanity.
From https://backports.debian.org/ :
Backports are packages taken from the next Debian release (called “testing”), adjusted and recompiled for usage on Debian stable
So by definition, security backports in stable are present in Testing in the form of regular packages, right?
I remember having some issue like that, but I’m not sure if this was the fix.
Try unchecking “Show desktop notifications when the song changes” on Spotify’s settings (right now it’s under the Display section).

New to Linux: in which case would you stick with an “old-old-stable” release?
Software incompatibility?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best concert or live performance you've ever attended, and what made it unforgettable?"
3·2 years agoThe band played 2 early albums + their latest one in sequence. Listening to whole albums in one go was great for many reasons.

datalist:- Barely works in Firefox (need to click again after initial focus);
- Doesn’t work at all in Firefox mobile (if there is some magic to show the options, I don’t know what is);
- In Chromium and Safari mobile (tested through appetize.io), I don’t like how similar it is to a

Somewhat liked Chrome’s implementation in Android:

The OP on Mastodon shared screenshots of the replies (can’t tell if they were originally in the forum post, or if it’s a DM):
