Not immediately up-to-date at all times, but I use backports. Looks like they're only a point release behind still. packages.debian.org/bookworm-b…
The only time it gets greeting by a full version is if Debian Stable is really long in the tooth and Backports can't compile something due to a compiler or library being really old or if Backports hasn't been created yet because Stable is young.
Yeah, mirroring the other comment here -it's standalone app everytime for me. I'm a bit of a power user, so maybe it's the extra functionality that just can't be handled in a browser which already has 20 other tabs open, but live colab is ... well, just not used that often.
Sure, we'll be tweaking cells in a spreadsheet now & again, but my technical documents are done by one person, then reviewed (comments, track changes, etc) by others for the audit trail.
And I'm just not going to purchase a Microsoft product again.
But I will contribute to Open Source... ODF has done great things.
I almost never use it, but if LibreOffice can come in handy a few times a year, why not at least keep it installed?
A lot of stuff is indeed browser based, so I probably spend more time in Firefox than in my code editor and terminal.
But LibreOffice is welcome to live on 0.1% of my disk space!
It looks more modern/intuitive, but is less powerfull and feature rich than LibreOffice.
I'm using it the same way I'd be using office.
The collaborative document editing doesn't apply to me.
Probably not because it would need to be an off-the-peg solution with support included for my bosses to even begin to consider it. But I have heard of Collabora and I know it's decent.
More in the running would be a cloud solution from the amazing Framasoft, including Framapad
None of this is to disparage LibreOffice, which apparently offers value to many people and that's great.
I don't use the Word replacement but I do use Calc (excel replacement). I very often want to run calculations or chart a bit of data and use Calc for that. Yeah I could use Google sheets, but every time I want to use it I have to go get my phone out to MFA. Far easier to just type "calc".
I do not use any other features of LibreOffice.
At work I use the standalone power point and excel. I am not collaborating 99% of the time, and Microsoft Office has mechanisms for collaborating & sharing if I do. Using the browser always feels second class with some options moved or hard to find. Of course YMMV.
Fish is a surprisingly good shell.
It's not POSIX compatible, but I don't really care, it only executes its own scripts / functions. It's not as innovative as elvish or nu, but it kind of does everything very conveniently and shell-y for lack of a better word – and it always seems so simple. It seems conservative in design, but the old concepts have been evolved in a very usable way. Something I can't say for all the other shells I've tried – at some point, it always gets awkward where fish is just elegant.

They say that escapism media tends to be a response to the particular anxieties of an era. Probably pretty telling that this looks like it's going to be a multi-lateral, consensus-building, hope-inspiring take on Superman.
Truth, Justice, and [what we were sold as children should be] the American Way.
Also, KRYPTO! Dyno-Mutt and Blue Falcon movie when???
That is better, even just as a calculated marketing notion. The trailer didn't actually have the slogan, just very traditionally wholesome Superman imagery, stuff like Supes being saved by a happy superdog, taking a big hit to save a child, hanging out on the Smallville porch with Pa Kent, that sort of thing. There are also at least two costumes in the trailer, and one of them is very old-timey with square-cut trunks.
Seems like Gunn has been tasked with channeling the Christopher Reeve movies and rebooting the Justice League (hopefully not entirely in in a single movie again), and doing all of it with more heart than the Snyderverse take on DC. Tall order, but he has shown he knows how to deliver the Superhero goods that the studios want while playing around on the edges enough to keep the formula fresh, so I might actually watch this one.

Tell us you have no concept of enterprise OSes without using those words. Wow, is this particular statement near-sighted and provincial.
Oh god; it gets worse. This-week's everything, like support and consistency are thrown out the window because supply chain exploits and random new bugs are just the best things ever.
This guy needs to talk to an OS security guy. I used to be one, and I could be one in a pinch, but he really needs to find an adult with a clue about the three goals of build and maybe spend a bit of time on an OS support line to learn why his process is the best way to fuck and or breach your system.
Sorry to rant, but my entire career has been either learning again in/yum-cron

tuiplette, a terminal match-three game (Bash)
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/23313015
gitlab.com/christosangel/tuipl…
tuiplette is a terminal match-three game, written in Bash.
The aim is to gain points by swapping two adjacent grid cells to create rows or columns of three or more matching cells, which will disappear and allow the above cells to fall and occupy the vacant space.
When there are no moves left, the grid will be refreshed, and the game will continue until all (configured) reshuffles are used. When there are no moves left, and no reshuffles left, the game will end.
If the score is among the 10 best scores achieved, it makes it in the Top Ten Hiscores.
As far as the appearence of the game, by configuring the game accordinly, the user can select the game theme according to their liking.
The user has select theme between letters, numbers, greek, shapes, faces and blocks.
The colors selected are the configured terminal theme colors.

Ancient bones shed new light on debate over origins of syphilis
Summary
New DNA analysis from ancient bones supports the theory that syphilis originated in the Americas and spread globally through European colonization and the transatlantic slave trade.
Researchers reconstructed genomes of Treponema pallidum bacteria, the cause of syphilis and related diseases, from bones predating Columbus's arrival in the Americas, tracing the bacteria’s common ancestor to about 9,000 years ago.
This suggests syphilis evolved in geographically isolated American populations before European contact.
While significant, researchers acknowledge that unanswered questions mean the origins debate will likely continue.

GNOME software center tells me this needs an update but it doesn't do anything when clicking download, how can I update this?
reshared this
I've had situations like this with my notebook where it would appear to do nothing from the GUI when clicked. It was because I didn't have power connected, and I think gnome software has since been updated to reflect this.
Assuming you were connected to power, I'm not sure but it may be worth reporting as a bug to gnome-software?

Israel committing ‘acts of genocide’ by cutting off water in Gaza, HRW says
Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of committing “acts of genocide” by denying clean water to Palestinians in Gaza, and called on the international community to impose targeted sanctions.
In a new report released on Thursday, the New York-based watchdog said that since October 2023 – when Israel launched its military offensive in Gaza – Israeli authorities have “deliberately obstructed Palestinians’ access to the adequate amount of water required for survival in the Gaza Strip”.

This means you can click it from a list of icons under your search bar.
