A recent update in Debian broke usage of the compose key in @dino and @gajim and other GTK software. I have no idea what's going on, but I can no longer type "ü" or some other characters. :(

I'm not even sure where I would report such a bug.

    Some of these linux distros absolutely need better marketing and information presentation! There are kickass features I discover in some of these that has me like, "why wasn't this obvious or prominently highlighted before this is awesome!"

      When asking questions about to LLM I feel they are all like a broken record, always the same wrong answers...

      So I'll ask humans: is there a way to tell, from command line, in a system or derivates, whether a GPU is available and how much VRAM it has access to ?

        Three years ago, I experimented with introducing automated build testing for RISC-V in Linux GPU drivers. Back then, it was a bit hacky due to the older Debian version used in CI [ gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me ]

        Recently, Mesa3D CI was upgraded to Debian 13, which supports RISC-V out of the box — and we’ve already been testing basic RISC-V builds for the past two days!

        gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me

        Hopefully, Imagination will start testing on real hardware soon!

          # "Stopping a kernel module from loading on boot in Debian Trixie using /etc/modules-load.d/"

          A bit of learning for me this morning, which I've written down in case I need it again. It might help someone else too.

                                                I present: The Löwenzahn video game running on #Debian in 2025. This is a major #blastfromthepast for me. Löwenzahn is/was a kids tv show to educate about science and nature, with a focus on sustainability. It's still being produced today; the original creator/actor died unfortunately. This played a major role to get me interested in STEM, while also not forgetting the environment.
                                                This must be one of the very first video games I ever played. /1
