I was about to say "no it doesn't" (having installed bookworm a few weeks ago, and most definitely not having wayland), but actually it seems you're right, and "by default" just means "if you choose one of the compatible desktop environments", one of which appears to be the default selection.

If that's all they plan on doing: awesome, actually, this way anyone can pick what they prefer. I was afraid they were going to pull something like systemd (though ultimately it makes sense, as maintaining sysvinit stuff for all services would have been unfeasible; not so, at least for now, with X11/Wayland).

Thanks !

I use fluxbox but that doesn't prevent using gnome apps; my main issue with them is that god-awful look they all assumed overnight a few years ago, without the title bar and the like (I think to match the Ubuntu tendency at the time / trying to emulate the fucked-up universal touch interface thing Microsoft tried to introduce at the time ?), from gedit to, indeed, evolution. I really loathe it. And thunderbird kept a classic look (firefox didn't, which means regular css tweaking to achieve the same result).

Also thunderbird supports calendars and webdav/webcal sync with plugins (though perhaps evolution does as well now, I haven't checked).

Everybody does, comrade

I still use thunderbird. It works well.

If the aim is simply to mirror an existing directory, including mirroring suppression/deletions/new files/edits, and only copying what has changed (which is what I suspect you were trying to emulate with the "created after a certain date" thing), just do:

rsync -avh -P /path/to/source/ /path/to/destination

If the aim is to copy all files created since, say, three days ago, but not to update existing files or to remove files that have been removed from your source (which is what you described):

rsync -avh -P --ignore-existing --files-from=<(find -L /path/to/source -ctime -3 -exec basename {} \;) /path/to/source/ /path/to/destination

Edit: lemmy is html encoding my "lesser than" symbol in the second command above; replace accordingly

The internet of shit has no limits

Literally. Add "smart" or "connected" to any manufactured object you can think of, someone tried to pitch it. I just tried it with "smart toilet paper" and then "connected mug". Both exist.

Good to know, thanks !

You may need firmware-iwlwifi from non-free. Is the network interface even available ?

# iwconfig

Assuming it's not, what is your wifi adapter ?

$ lspci|grep -i network

it would be easy to get back to meat eating

If it would "be easy" for you to get back to consuming animal products, it's hard to imagine you're vegan at all.

No, their metaphor was not ignorant at all.

Animal products have good taste for most people. The issue with them is not their taste, or the actual act of consumption of them, it's the fact that their production necessarily involves the torture and killing of sapient beings.

If you can have "meat" without such effects (so, those fake vegan "meats"), then there is nothing wrong with it at all (I still prefer most of the time my rice, beans, tofu and TSP if only due to the cost but again, nothing wrong with it, quite the contrary).
