The new edition, known as TUXEDO OS “Continuous Debian,” replaces the distribution’s traditional Ubuntu foundation with Debian Testing. The change denotes a significant shift for TUXEDO OS, which is developed by German Linux hardware manufacturer TUXEDO Computers. […] Unlike Debian itself, which periodically promotes its Testing branch to Stable, TUXEDO OS will remain permanently based on Debian Testing. 🤔 www.debian.org/security/faq#testing currently says: Q: How is security handled for testing? A: Security for testing benefits from the security efforts of the entire project for unstable. However, there is a minimum two-day migration delay, and sometimes security fixes can be held up by transitions. The Security Team helps to move along those transitions holding back important security uploads, but this is not always possible and delays may occur. Especially in the months after a new stable release, when many new versions are uploaded to unstable, security fixes for testing may lag behind. If you want to have a secure (and stable) server you are strongly encouraged to stay with stable. I wonder if TUXEDO Computers plans to be shipping security updates themselves faster than Debian testing does?

Alright, we're looking for beta testers for Catodon's mobile app, as Google demands 12 testers having it installed (and ideally using it) for at least 14 days. The app is nothing exciting tbh, it's a glorified TWA, which allows you to switch server. However, it might be interesting for some people because you don't need a Catodon account: If you select catodon.rocks, you can also use it with your Mastodon or Misskey or Sharkey account (basically with anything that uses the Mastodon, Misskey or ActivityPub API), as an app. You can get a taste of Catodon's UX this way, even though you'll be missing a lot of features. Or of course you can make a Catodon account if you don't have one yet. So, if anyone is interested in installing our app and keeping it for at least a couple of weeks, please send me the email that you're logged into Google Play with, and I'll send you the links. Thank you, and please repost this, so that we can find our testing group! #catodon #mastodon #testing #misskey #sharkey
