So it only has about 100 people in it (as opposed to over 3,000 in the unofficial Matrix room), but I just discovered that #Debian has an official #XMPP room; debian@conference.debian.org . They also have other ones for kids, non-English languages, etc.

Our map of Developer Locations now links to a nice interactive world map where Debian Developers offer PGP keysigning. We use such keysigning to prove identities of prospective Debian people. Debian Members can add themselves to the PGP signing offers wiki page and soon you will be listed at https://www.debian.org/devel/developers.loc #debian #community https://micronews.debian.org/2025/1736406080.html #debian

The #Debian project had to grapple with this. It took it awhile to learn that allowing poisonous people to run rampant caused more harm than good and drove away would-be talented developers.

But there were never absolutely no rules. Perhaps the owner ("sysop") of a #BBS would ban you for insulting their cat. Perhaps they let just about anything go, including the poisonous bits.

«Linux auf einem älteren Laptop installieren»

Liebe Medien mit Linux geht dies sehr wohl und auch beruflich seit langem. Doch immer noch sind leider viele skeptisch aber mMn nicht argumentatiev. Ich denke für die meisten reicht die Distribution @linuxmint, @debian und/oder @fedora obwohl es noch viele weitere zu empfehlenden gibt, die sich aber meistens darauf aufbauen.

#digitalemuendigkeit with #debian on smartphones, aka #mobian . I was suprised that over 20 people joined yesterdays meetup and some brought their #linuxphones with them. People played around with #phosh #kdeplasma #mobian #postmarketos #Fairphone5 ..
Also thanks @awai for the #pinephonepro rental. It was used to present the slides and was flashed with #mobian trixie. People could choose between #lomiri, #phosh and #kdeplasma in the login manager.
