But who is supposed to trust whom?

I settled on two.

  1. Arch for my desktop, because there I like having an always up-to-date system with the latest drivers and libraries so that I can always try the latest versions of whatever it is I want to play with next. Pacman is also a pretty good package manager, and almost any piece of software that is not in the default repos can be found in the AUR. For the rest, I also like that Arch just gets out of your way and lets you configure your system how you want.

  2. Debian for anything that runs unattended, like all my homelab services. It's well tested, offers feature stability, has long-enough support, and doesn't do weird things every other release like forcing snaps or netplan or cloud-init on you. Those "boring" qualities make it the perfect base to run something for a long time that doesn't scream for attention all the time.

Never knew I needed Kaylee in a Star Trek mini dress, but here we are.

afaik it was confirmed to be black and blue

I do believe it actually was black and blue, but I find it very hard to believe that anyone would perceive the way it is presented in this picture, with that lighting and level of overexposure, as black and blue.

Even looking at the RGB values of individual pixels, they are distinctly brown/gold-ish and a pastellish faded out purple.

I think you're missing the point here. The solution to the "documentation on a chatroom" problem is not putting documentation on another chatroom.

Actually even further than that, even back in the 80s it was apparently used in certain subcultures to distinguish (drug) "addicts" from "normal people".

[-] SpaceCadet2000@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

The original meaning of the word as I first heard it back in the late 1990s was to refer to the vast majority of "normal" people who don't have an interest in or deep understanding of technology and internet culture.

I don't think it was originally meant as an insult, but more as an acknowledgement and reminder to ourselves that the things we were into and cared about were a niche thing and not exactly the norm.

Nowadays, I've heard it applied to just about any niche interest or hobby, for example: people who are not into mechanical keyboards would also be "normies", and worse it's being thrown around as a direct insult to people, in the same vein as calling someone "basic".

The real power of tmux, though, is that it manages the session you created.
So, one use case would be saving your current terminal setup. Instead of exiting the terminal and navigating to the project and setting up the environment again next time, you can simply detach and re-attach.

They've already taken Voronezh as well, some 500km from Moscow and have been reported to be advancing through the Lipetsk province, 350km south of Moscow.

There's no real "benefit" to Ukraine in this, is there?

Well, it appears that some of the baddies will be killing off each other, saving Ukraine the trouble.
