Honestly, it always goes back to the seven deadly sins. In this case, I’d say greed and gluttony are most relevant.

Like @pathos said, that’s the list from the previous step. Because you’re autoremoving, it will only remove packages that aren’t dependencies of any other packages still installed.

For anyone reading this on a Debian-based system, you can get a good start without risking removing anything important like this:

1. Run apt-mark showmanual, and copy any package names you don’t think you need into a list.
2. Run apt-mark auto <pkg1> <pkg2> ...
3. Run apt autoremove

Just install the Auto Tab Discard extension. After a certain amount of time it will replace your loaded tab with a (RAM-free) placeholder that reloads when you click it again. Me, my ADHD brain, and my 500 tabs can be at peace now.

From what I’ve read, it’s certainly happened. As for how frequently, the number for the last US presidential election sits somewhere between a few dozen and a few hundred thousand. Reports vary, as they tend to do. 🤷 I haven’t done any serious research yet.

Small but crucial correction:

Ghibli filter trend is just people hiding how ugly they feel.

I might also say trying to hide instead. It’s usually not hard to tell when it comes from insecurity.

KDE Neon on desktop. I want to be on the latest Wayland I can for feature support (and Waydroid), without being on the bleeding edge for stability, and it checks all those boxes. Based on Ubuntu LTS, with latest Wayland and KDE software.

For my home servers I like to try out different distros. I have a thin client on openSUSE Tumbleweed running Portainer, a couple Armbian SBCs for reverse proxies, my main Unraid storage server, and a thin client running NixOS at my parents’ house for backup storage and remote troubleshooting access.

Oh, it gets better. For countries that we have a trade surplus with… they’re still levying a 10% tariff. Because like, UsA biG stROnG, I guess? Stupid reckless chest pounding. I just can’t.

Eh, I’m not sure if the world can be picked backup, it’s been knocked down pretty hard. I’m always down for trying though.
