Especially considering the infantilizingly simple and repetitive writing, which reeks of emotional manipulation, it should be patently obvious to you that whoever wrote this story made it up with an intent to disinform.

In recent years, Debian maintainers have been acting with increasing disrespect toward upstream software maintainers and abusing their reputation of being a "stable distro" to shift blame for their bad decisions onto others.

The most significant example would be the orphaning of bcachefs-tools, during which Debian maintainers demonstrated outrageous incompetence in the way they package Rust libraries and a lack of willingness to make simple changes to their package manager (a way to have certain packages installed in multiple versions at once if the names of files inside those packages allow that to happen without conflicts) to accommodate for software whose library dependencies are at odds with those of other Debian packages. This incited an influx of harassment and bigotry towards the bcachefs-tools maintainers and the Rust community at large.

Another example that comes to mind is the KeePassXC fiasco, in which the build configuration for KeePassXC in its Debian package was modified to remove certain features, without any sort of prior communication or discussion with the KeePassXC team itself. One of the features removed by Debianers was the KeePassXC browser extension integration that helps users avoid exposing passwords to the clipboard when using the password manager, protecting them against clipboard grabbers. Because the KeePassXC team was not notified in advance, the settings menu of the password manager had no provisions for telling the user that specific features were disabled at compile time (the assumption being that only advanced users manually compiling KeePassXC would modify those settings), leading to their bug tracker being swarmed by frustrated and confused users of the Debian unstable branch who suddenly had the browser extension integration removed from their version of KeePassXC without a trace. This miscommunication put pressure on the KeePassXC team and misrepresented their software in the eyes of users, as Debian maintainers did not bother coordinating their changes with anyone. To add insult to injury, the Debianers then proceeded to scold the KeePassXC team on their issue tracker for supposedly having bad defaults, further escalating the purposeful breakage event into what came to most resemble bullying of upstream maintainers by Debian packagers.

There are no "good guys" in a conflict between religious people.

Read the excellent Decolonize Palestine website to learn about the vital context that makes Israel's claim of self defense deeply disingenuous, and to learn about some of the falsehoods about Israel and Palestine that are present in mainstream discourse.

My single-slot Radeon HD 6770 from PowerColor was quite nice, although outrageously loud toward the end of its lifespan. Bit of a dead end from the start though (last of TeraScale, never got Vulkan), but I still had a blast with it.

The screw heads are mainly to prevent people from tampering with stuff they aren't supposed to unscrew. Hard drives, for example, all use the same star-shaped heads that most people don't have screwdrivers for.

I do think that people passionate about information technology – those who love it for the intrinsic awesomeness and not the money it brings – could break away with some of the legacy bullshit that holds back the quality of the software we use, if they were given the opportunity to defy software "tradition" and the profit motive. As of now, there is no systemic path forward, only occasional improvements incited by acute inadequacy of existing conventions for the growth of interested businesses.
