"Da es während eines solchen Gesprächs nicht immer möglich ist, falsche oder irreführende Behauptungen sofort zu korrigieren,"

... weigern wir uns grundsätzlich auch die offensichtlichsten Falschaussagen sofort zu korrigieren. Denn die Realität könnte das ÖRR Publikum verunsichern, die aber glücklicherweise solche nachträglichen Faktenchecks nie zu Gesicht bekommen.

That's my point. A version upgrade having issues would have forced you to do it by now.

The structure behind rising climate change scepticism in Germany is exactly the same as everywhere else: drowning in brain-numbing amounts of right-wing propaganda screaming 24/7 that opens up about 2-3 new anti-science and counter-factual culture war fronts per day as a diversion.

As the planet heats, public doubt grows

But nice try implying some correlation or even causation here. 🖕

No, all those tech idiots are actually trying to destroy the world then rule over the ruins from their secure luxury bunkers and islands. Maximized disruption and destructive tendencies backfiring from time to time is just a side effect.

ich meine ich sag ja meine meinung, aber finde mich jetzt nicht sooo kontrovers

Ab genug geisteskranker Verschiebung des Diskurses nach stramm Rechts, sind halt auch gewöhnliche Menschenrechte und Grundideen des Grundgesetzes wieder "kontrovers"... 🫤

Gäbe es tatsächlich Zeichen des Himmels würde ihn wohl eher der Blitz beim Scheißen treffen...

I was too lazy for scripting the update to check the news and just get a mail when the update has issues... or should get one.

In reality I check if the email process still works once every blue moon because I didn't get one from a failed update in years.

I think you can get problems once you are a full release cycle behind the last supported one.

Funnily enough it's mostly an issue with mirrors and signing keys, so basically the same fix Arch users need if they are behind for many months: update the packages for keys and mirrors first, everyting else afterwards.

Well... because of longer testing periods and a lot of stuff never even considered until stale the stable distros indeed have less bugs. The ones that still slip through however will basically not get fixes for years.

On the other hand I have seen a lot of bugs on Arch... but I usually don't care and just assume (rightfully so in 99% of the cases) that they get fixed within hours.

I wonder how many Arch haters have actually used Arch and ever ran into a breaking issue.

A lot... they install it, screw up because they didn't bother to read the instructions, then did the usual... a new install.

Those who pass the first basic barrier to just chroot into the system and fix a simple mistake or roll back a package for the few hours it takes to get fixed instead of starting fresh usually stay for a long time...

In fact with the people I know there is a correlation between either "oh, I don't bother to fix anything and just do a fresh install (that idea is especially persistent in Windows users)" or "there's a big distro upgrade that had issues" and distro hopping. Once you settled on a rolling release and learned the basics in terms of fixing stuff the urge to hop yet another time vanishes for many.

As everyone knew it would happen once the loud, crying propagandists screamed about deporting criminal Afghans while actually nullifying already existing visa for Afghans that helped the German army for years...
