Debian Turns 33 Years Old, Happy Birthday!:

Canonical is Funding a PhD to Automate C to Rust Translation for Ubuntu:
https://feed.itsfoss.com/link/24361/17424976/canonical-c-to-rust-automation
(Yay, mass translation, mass bugs lol)

Ubuntu is Growing Faster on Windows Than on Linux:
https://feed.itsfoss.com/link/24361/17421675/canonical-wsl-growth
(Not really surprised, Ubuntu isn't really a user-focused distro anymore, Canonical makes money from enterprise customers, who like to slave for Microsoft I guess, but they use WSL because Linux is often much better at development stuff.)
(A few months ago, I learned some DevOps at university, and the prof showed how to install Jenkins on a Windows machine using WSL, and I'm like: why use Windows at that point, wouldn't it be easier to just use Linux?)

Bazzite Linux 44 for handhelds finally launches with some massive upgrades:

I'll be on holiday until next Sunday, so there won't be any weekly news this week, and probably next week either, and I won't respond to DMs (will respond to everyone once I get back online)

(I upgraded a few days ago (I have the Phosh edition), and for some reason, the welcome app appears for a few seconds, then a lock screen with the default wallpaper instead of the one I set, then when I unlock the phone, it looks like as if it crashes, the GUI disappears for a few seconds, then it comes back, unlocked successfully. It only does this after boot, if I lock the screen back, everything is normal, no crash, and the wallpaper is what I set. Not the end of the world for me, but it's a bit weird, might annoy some.)

(Linux news in previous posts) FOSS NEWS Odysee receives huge UI improvements and some new features: new video player (mimicking YouTube's video player), home page top slide now displays a channel preview the 3 latest videos and a follow button, mini video player when hovering a video's thumbnail, floating player, search field on channel > Content pages, revamped content upload flow divided into multiple pages, Advanced Editor for writing comments (with text formatting buttons), favicons displayed next to links in text posts and comments FreeTube also received some UI revamp: new video player (also somewhat similar to YouTube's), some text changed to first letter uppercase instead of all uppercase, icons added to subscription page (Why does everyone copy YouTube's video player? It looks kinda ugly... Also, the bottom panel's buttons are barely visible if the video is bright.

Not much there currently, just Burner Todo, and my Joplin config, but I might make a CLI version of Burner Todo later on (I'll learn C++ at university, will be a good practice project), and if I manage to switch from GNOME to a tiling WM, I'll also share my configs (although I'm not really a tinkerer type, I just like to set things up how I want and forget it). https://fosseryweb.codeberg.page/@beta/projects.html https://fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/@beta/projects.html I also did some code refactoring, to unify the code of some page components (header, footer, Related contents section, etc.), for better consistency, readability; and I also shortened the names of some asset directories which were unnecessarily long.

I've heard this song a lot in the radio 8-9 years ago, and it came into my mind again, can't stop playing it in my mind in the past few days. Sweet nostalgia...
https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=JzwBmZhvnSQ

It sounds even better now, after this many years, now that I can actually relate with the lyrics. I'm getting "old" (only in my twenties but still lol) I guess.

I know, for most people I hear talking about music, only the songs of 80s and 90s are good, but I draw the line in 2018-2019. Even songs in those years were much better than 2020s music for the most part. New music in the past few years all sound the same to me (with a few exceptions, but there are fewer and fewer exceptions as years pass, I ended up listening to new songs from only 2 artists, but even one of them has pretty mediocre music this year). Or maybe I'm just getting old, "boomership" kicks in, idk lol

But also, I miss those times when life was much easier... "Those were the days", as the linked song says. I actually start to understand the older generation saying things used to be much better

Also, Python isn't specific to the left category, it can actually be good for some non-normie dev stuff. Same for StackOverflow if used via AnonymousOverflow Also, I'm surprised that Windows and Chrome aren't on the left side
