It’s open source, and if you’re on Linux, it’s probably in your repos.
Kinda like a cross between Elite and Kerbal Space Program.

You never read comments you reply to till the end?

Heidelberg, Germany. This town is already more American than some towns in America.

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.

Google started adding AI capabilities (context-aware background-blurring) into its phones with the Pixel 2.

It is AI. It looks realistic, but it doesn’t make sense.
Why is there no snow in a circle around the fire? Did someone sweep the place?
What’s up with the Christmas lights?
How do you chop wood on that chopping block that’s much too crooked?

If you took the photo with any recent phone, it’s been edited by AI before you ever saw it, which would warrant a 70% rating.

That reminds me of the time I didn’t know that “select - middle click” and “ctrl+c - ctrl+v” are entirely separate clipboards in Linux.
So I was implementing a password manager for the very first time.
For every single account I had, I created a new password within the password manager, and copied it with ctrl+c
Then I went to “change password” in the online account and pasted the “new password” in with middle-click.
For. Every. Single. Account.
The next day I couldn’t log into anything and of course had no idea what string I had replaced all my passwords with.

Getting back into my main e-mail account was a bitch, cause I had set it up with my home phone number and address in the year 2004, never updated that info, and moved 11 times since then.

“He T-Posed Fortnitely down the stairs”

The rugged survivalist aesthetic is diminished just a bit by the electric lights in the tree on the right, which looks like plastic.

TIL Google is in the market for dog euthanasia automation.

None. We have a living room where there’s a bed on one side and something called “Nasszelle” in German.
The direct translation would be “wet cell”. It doesn’t deserve the name bathroom, it’s just a toilet, sink and shower crammed into the smallest room possible.

When they take your life, those other things usually go with it.

Living as an adult and not being able to cook for yourself is something I can hardly even picture.
Like, did you go out to eat every day before?

You don’t need a new car, just a car.
Buy second hand.

Sounds like a remake of Slackware.

The instance I first chose straight up disappeared, so yeah. It wasn’t an easy migration.

A tick

Edit for whole story:
Didn’t even notice the bite, but about 2 weeks after a hiking trip, I noticed a red rash on the side of my lower leg.
I waited for it to go away on its own but it didn’t.
It grew into a 10 inch by 5 inch bright red patch that itched, felt like rice paper and hurt to the touch.
The edge around it turned a different color every day.

So one morning, my girlfriend at the time had enough and basically forced me to seek medical help.
Problem was, it was a Sunday, and the doctors in my area were currently on strike.
So I rode the bus to the hospital, and had a bit of a surreal experience there.
(I was running a high fever by now, so my recollection is to be taken with a grain of salt)

I distinctly remember walking into the emergency room of the hospital through the entrance for ambulances, cause all other doors were closed.
At some point I was standing in a back room of sorts, no other patients around, and 3 doctors who were on strike curiously looked at my leg.

They assessed that it’s definitely a burn wound. I vehemently disagreed.
So one of them wrote a prescription for a wide-band antibiotic, based on guessing.

I went to the nearest emergency pharmacy, collected the meds, took them and 3 days later the rash was gone and the skin began to heal.
