Even better: 20 lbs of long toenails and a box full of real snakes.

And the work in the lead mines

GIMP 3.0 will come with the next Debian release.
When will that come out?
When it’s ready.
You can get a bit of an idea where in the release process we are by looking at this graph:

Where the green and blue lines dip close to zero, there was a new release.
Next release is probably planned for October 2025.

Between releases, packages are only updated when it’s relevant for security or to fix bugs.
Thunderbird and Firefox are a bit of an exception. Those programs are so complex that backporting security fixes to the current Debian version isn’t feasible. So Debian is forced to ship the new version when security issues in the current version become known.
And they’re also not needed on servers, so the reduced stability doesn’t affect them.

hellfire103 isn’t in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Quartz watches: Casio F-91w

Now that they’re basically banning cars, it might be worth a visit again

I’ve been in that same situation, except they refused to serve me at the drive through.
It was the most American thing I ever experienced – being denied burgers cause I didn’t have a car.

Sounds like a remake of Slackware.

You have a strict policy on photos of other people at work, so you post it on a public website?

He’s the guardian of some secrets about a very high profile company, involving some of the higher-ups.
And also has an officially recognized disability, in a unionized company. It is big enough for them to hide him away from public view, rather than risk him airing their dirty laundry in the court case that will come if they fire him.

The problem is that this way, your best people with the most options leave first.
Those you want to keep long enough to do the re-structuring and make the numbers on the books look good, so you can sell the company before it disintegrates completely.

He rendered the left-leaning government ineffective, making a shift to the right in the next election more probable, then triggered early elections.
Genius, really.

I have a co-worker (in an open, shared office) who

• doesn’t react to tickets, Teams messages or emails
• refuses to answer the phone even when the call is specifically for him
• has only one specific task assigned to him, which he regularly fucks up but doesn’t care
• sleeps under his desk for an hour every day during work time
• plays music with offensive lyrics loudly, while others are on phone calls with customers
• watches porn on his work computer
• walks over to co-workers, farts, then walks back to his chair

He’s been with the company for 20 years.

How is what he did dumb?
He only continued to refuse to increase the spending limit, which is basically the only thing he promised to do if he was elected.
I mean, that position is completely wrong in the current situation, but it’s not a change from his position 3 years ago.

What do you think would happen if the C-suite called HR and told them “we’re about to announce a downsizing in 2 months, stop hiring people”?

I feel like I need more context. What???

Economics is purely political.
Politics is almost entirely about allocation of money and trying to influence the economy.

There is one (Neonmodem), and it seems to work for some, but it never showed any posts when I tried it, and I tried it on several different distros, client versions, Lemmy accounts and home instances.

I quit smoking successfully a few years ago, after at least a dozen unsuccessful attempts.
Here’s what was different the time I succeeded:

I changed my mindset. Basically, I told myself that I won’t ever smoke a single cigarette again in my life, no matter how shitty that makes me feel.
The trigger for that mindset was a common cold that left me breathless for 4 weeks.
And the key to success was the realization that:

1.) I’m not addicted to cigarettes, I’m addicted to nicotine
2.) Nicotine by itself isn’t all that harmful
3.) Whenever I have a craving, I can just chew a nicotine chewing gum
4.) Nicotine by itself isn’t even that addictive

So I bought a whole lot of nicotine gum, and whenever I felt the slightest craving I popped one in.
After about 2 weeks the cravings subsided (cause nicotine isn’t actually what makes you addicted).
