Technology@lemmy.world•The Debian project is proud to release Debian 13 "Trixie", a major update that brings new features, updated components, and numerous other improvementsEnglish
5·3 months agoI liked Zorin (often recommended for users coming from Windows) which is based off Ubuntu which in turn is based off Debian. Not a fan of Snaps, though. I also value stability over blistering performance and bleeding edge features.

6·3 months agoNoob here. My last distro was Zorin (which I liked well enough). Keen to switch to Debian base. Should I jump in and install vanilla Debian or wait for Mint Debian 7? Or should I believe the DistroWatch hype and go for MX?
Would prefer Xfce environment because I’ll be running it on 8+ yo laptop and and desktop.

1·3 months agoMaybe (I won’t be weighing in any further), but can we at the very least agree that Mexico isn’t doing enough?

4·3 months agoIt would ideally be a combined operation, obviously. Mexico either can’t or refuses to clean house. If the cartels are spilling over the border then the US has every right to excise them at the source bin Laden style.

5·3 months agoThe cartels are an evil scourge without a trace of humanity. Nothing of value will be lost if they’re swept off the board. I hope their buttholes are puckering at the thought of Delta and SEAL teams kicking down their doors.

1·3 months agoAfter checking out the specs, I think I might go for a Bip next, tnx. Always worth having a backup watch too for when your main is getting charged.

2·3 months agoI really like my Amazfit Neo. Okay, it doesn’t charge with USB-C but I appreciate its “always on” display and retro aesthetic. Can’t believe they don’t make 'em anymore!
Is there a worthy successor or can anybody recommend a similar minimalist smartwatch that won’t break the bank?

Technology@lemmy.world•Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunchEnglish
25·7 months agoBad actors are sowing distrust by implying that Signal is not secure. Always remember that the powers that be don’t want the public to have encrypted comms and would love to ban private messaging apps altogether. I could also be completely wrong and Signal is in fact a fed honeypot…
The code is open-source though, and I’m hoping that individuals more learned than I would surely alert us if there were any backdoors/exploits…
Tanks and fighter jets are becoming less relevant. The war in Ukraine underlines how drones are changing everything. They’re cheaper to manufacture (or buy/retrofit) and just about everybody can make or reverse-engineer them.
The barrier to entry is so low in fact that I worry about the day when terrorist groups begin to deploy them in major cities.
