My guess would be someone trying to make stone tools by banging rocks together, a spark fell into dry grass, etc. But, you know, just a guess.

Do you know which packages and what defaults? I’ve tried to find the differences but I can’t really find what is different, except for wallpaper etc.
What is in LMDE that isn’t in plain Debian out of the box beyond branding?
It did make sense at one point. They implemented a music player with a daemon part and a client part, so from that you had the mpd server and mpc client. Someone wrote an ncurses frontend for the client, naturally called ncmpc. Iirc that person abandoned it and someone else took over with a new iteration. ncmpcpp. But it really is a bad name.
For a long time I used the music player ncmpcpp. The name makes perfect sense if you already know what it means and how it relates to other things.

Maybe it’s all propaganda and fairphone uses slave labour, but that would surprise me. Another thing I thought about is that tech is just more expensive in europe in general. It’s common that we pay 20% more for the same phone or laptop in europe compared to the US.

For buying gifts, for example.
Cowsay as a Service. A Go microservice that lets you send form or json http post with curl or whatever to an api over the internet and in return you get the cowsay ascii art you requested.
I did the same thing, but with ubuntu. Now, you and I can troubleshoot issues and have patience. But someone who is sort of reluctant to begin with, it’s a hard sell if there are hurdles.
I’m actually thinking about switching from Debian to Mint. I’m thinking that if Mint is the recommended distro for people new to Linux, they will need a big community to answer questions in forums.

This was a long time ago though, but the bullets then were steel core and rubber around it. Not sure if they use different ones in the US.
pmk@lemmy.sdf.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?192·15 days agoI genuinely believe that more empathy is needed in both directions for people to come out of their trenches. Problem is, it"s hard to feel empathy for those who have no empathy in return. It’s a locked position reinforcing itself with every bad interaction. To break out of this we would have to listen and show that we care, while not getting the same things back. It feels bad. Unfair. Again, this goes both ways.
Well it takes like a thousand people to make Debian, so they’d need to do a lot of work.
To be fair, it took her years to ask you to ask her. She could have just asked too.
If you only saved Mint, then Mint devs would have to do all the Debian work too?
pmk@lemmy.sdf.orgto World News@lemmy.world•'Unprecedented Mass Deployment' of Warplanes Across Atlantic Fuels Fears of US War on Iran | Common DreamsEnglish8·17 days agoAre these american military bases useful for europe anymore? Do we need them? I always thought they were a nato thing, but nowadays I don’t know. If europe is alone against the russians anyway and we cant count on nato, maybe we should just tell the american military to leave europe?
There’s no reception inside a person though, so you can’t call the phone to make it vibrate.
