  • “version numbers never change” (which is what stable means in Debian Stable).

    My interpretation of stable isn’t just versions not changing, only that the bugs are known and newer ones aren’t easily introduced, i.e. the state of the system is know. While rolling releases are fantastic for end users and to obtain the latest software, sometimes a particular bug or change will modify a user’s workflow.


  • [Fun fact to lighten things up: people often call volts “velas” candles here. So e.g. “127V” and “220V” are often called “cem velas” (100 candles) and “duzentas velas” (200 candles) respectively. Confusingly enough some also do it with watts.]

    Never heard this before, brazilian here btw.

    All regular sockets in my city are 220V 60Hz. I think only places like hotels have different voltages.

    Or people who have old houses, 2 pins sockets, and rip apart the ground pin from their 3 pins plugs.

    Yep, my dad can’t stand the ground pin in almost every plug. I had to convince him not to destroy them all.
