The biggest satellite is like what, 30 metres across with solar panels?* Earth's diameter is ~13 000 km, that's 400 000 times larger. A satellite might as well be a grain of sand.
* Biggest unmanned artificial satellite that I could find info on is the Hubble telescope, which is 13m long; its solar panels are not longer than the telescope tube.
"Annoying" is in the eye of the beholder and many LPers vacillate between annoying and non-annoying anyway. e.g. one of the LPers I used to watch a lot became overly grumpy and mean regarding both his viewers/chat participants and the games he was playing, while putting less and less effort into actually learning the games. IMO he was overworked.
And even the LPers I like watching, I can't stand watching them do multiplayer with other people who also have a mic. Always turns chaotic and people shouting into mics, rather than the LPer calmly doing their thing.
I can kinda see that for when he was younger, but even back in 2016 he was mostly an old fart with incoherent rambles and fugly face makeup. Also, I think this face with the pursed lips he often makes wasn't really a thing in his younger years, or it's just way more blatant and offputting with his old man face.
Hm, immutable distros change the game quite a bit. I don't see how Debian could match that without introducing an immutable version of Debian, so it's not really something that the people in charge of the upgrade process can solve.
That’s cool and all. But, to give some context as to where I’m coming from: for the last 2-3 years or so, I receive automatic major release updates in the background. Sometimes, it takes me up to a week before I even notice it. I wish to see the day that Debian is released from its UnattendedUpgrades shackles and can ascend into pure bliss.
?
You can easily disable or uninstall unattended upgrades, and I would definitely have noticed if Debian's unattended upgrades automatically did major release upgrades on its own ...
I’m too paranoid on security to consider that 😅. But I’m glad it works out for you.
IMO that's not an issue at all, both Debian and Ubuntu are very good about providing security updates for their oldstable releases. Maybe your desktop environment or text editor isn't going to receive updates anymore, but I have a really hard time imagining a relevant scenario where that makes a difference for security.
There are so many humans who don't meet these requirements that it is a legitimate brag at this point. Though they're posting it on 4chan, so, y'know. Plus it was posted in 2021, there were still 1-2 years of pandemic to go - considering that they were already posting on 4chan, I wouldn't bet my savings that they came out of it still meeting those minimum human requirements.
True, there are legitimate reasons why most people use Ubuntu or a Ubuntu-derivative on desktop, rather than straight Debian.That said, last time I did a major release upgrade on a desktop Debian system, I did maybe half of these steps and it still went without issue. The only issue that ever comes up for me when I upgrade Debian or Ubuntu is that things change how they work and I need to redo some of my configuration to account for it, and I do so much custom configuration that it can be kind of PITA sometimes. But that wouldn't be any different on any other distro.
two years feels like the sweet spot.
I'm a big fan of skipping over one major release when upgrading, that way I get 4 (Ubuntu) or 5-6 (Debian) years of bliss. Software like webbrowsers, yt-dlp or Signal that needs to be really fresh is better installed through pip or flatpak anyway.
I've had beef carpaccio before, I don't think horse sashimi would be much different. So, I'd try it if offered, I wouldn't specifically seek it out on a menu, though.
Hell No to chicken sashimi, though. Honestly, if I was in Japan I'd assume that the chef knows what they're doing, but I still wouldn't be able to get over the "what if they don't?".
