I pretend that I go away for my holidays. I don't. I take time off work and stay home with a pile of books. I like home, that's why I live here. I know people expect you to want to travel but I can't be bothered. Why go to abroad when there are heatwaves here?

Nobody cares about your digital detox. The fact that you're back on the socials bleating on about it means it failed.
It's very simple why everyone hates their job. Being a bullshiter and flitting from company to company every couple of years seems to be the only path to success. Being good generally gets you overlooked.

Received one of the #GameAndWatch Super #Mario Bros. handhelds yesterday. The controls felt pretty good and the display was nice and bright. I'm surprised at how light it is, though.

As we wrap up the live coverage of #ReleasingDebianTrixie, our heartfelt thanks to our Developers, Contributors, Sponsors, Friends, and Users for the years of support and community building. Enjoy Debian 13 "trixie"! #debian #debian13 #trixie
Another boring upgrade due to the extraordinary efforts of the team. Thanks and congratulations!
Debian 13 "trixie" has been released, thanks to everyone involved! "trixie" images are available for download at debian.org/distrib/ or you can run apt full-upgrade as always 
#debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
#debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
I'm new to the @debian game.
I just saw in the documentation "Upgrades to Debian 13 "trixie" from the previous release, Debian 12 "bookworm", are automatically handled by the APT package management tool for most configurations. "
However, my debian didn't offer me upgrade in any way. Do I have to install a specific upgrade package?
Currently I'm using a standard installation based on KDE.
Or is upgrade only supported in gnome stock software packages?
Can anyone help? #Followerpower
yes, thank you so much. It’s been a very smooth transition and that speaks volumes to the hard work we are so grateful for.
"trixie" is now syncing to a mirror near you! Image torrents are up and the bandwidth graphs are looking healthy accum.se/technical/statistics/… #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
The tested images will shortly be signed off, allowing for publication of the images and packages to the mirror network very soon. We’re moving forward with the final release steps! A big thank you to all our image testers for Debian 13 "trixie"! #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
Debian Pure Blends are a solution for groups of people with specific needs: a handy collection of specific packages, easier installation and configuration for the intended purpose. Now with Debian 13 trixie, a selection of Debian Pure Blends, such as Debian Junior, Debian Science, or Debian FreedomBox, can now be be installed directly from within the Debian installer! debian.org/blends/ #debian #debian13 #trixie #debianpureblends #ReleasingDebianTrixie
All the archive work to support trixie and preparations for development of forky is now done; image testing continues, and once the images team signs off, everything can be published to the mirror network. #debian #debian13 #trixie #forky #ReleasingDebianTrixie
The installer images for amd64 and arm64, and live image for amd64 are built and the other architectures are following. They will be publicly available after extensive testing. Any issues discovered during the testing are added to the errata lists to be published alongside the release. #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
Debian 13 "trixie" is released with Ceratopsian by Elise Couper as its default theme, featured across wallpapers, installer, and login screens. wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Them… #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
I have it running from testing reps for months and it's so cool. Big thanks to the maintainers and the art people.
Meanwhile FTP masters are continuing to set up new suites for testing, ready to open forky for development #debian #debiantesting #forky #ReleasingDebianTrixie
Before upgrading or installing Debian 13 "trixie", read the Release Notes, they're packed with guidance to ensure everything goes smoothly. debian.org/releases/trixie/rel… #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
The contents of "trixie" are now with the Debian Images team, who are building and testing all the .iso files you'll be able to download once the release is ready. #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
The stable release managers have checked the generated release files before signing off on custody of "trixie" and the release signatures are being imported by FTP masters #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
"bookworm" is now oldstable and "bullseye" is oldoldstable. FTP masters are preparing the Hardware Security Module token to enable trixie's new release keys. #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
The release process has begun! FTP masters are setting up the supporting suites for a stable release in preparation for the main stable suite: the Debian Archive Kit (dak) being reconfigured to map stable/oldstable/oldoldstable and security suites down one rank. #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
The Debian publicity team will provide live coverage of the #ReleasingDebianTrixie process; follow us via Debian Micronews or your favorite social network! #debian #debian13 #trixie
