The LUS Lemmy instance got an update.
The ansible repo switched to tagged releases. There were ⚠️breaking changes⚠️ that needed to be prepared for.
One of the issues Dan had is likely fixed now.
The Bug that's old enough to drink and drive, but hopefully not at the same time!
Dan installed Firefox from the .tar.gz download.
Spoiler - it updates just fine because my user is the owner in the /opt directory.

The History of The Common Desktop Environment (CDE)
The Andrew Project
W was a windowing system that was originally written for the V operating system.
In 1984, Robert Scheifler wrote.
X is our “reaction” to W
Ultrix Window Manager, or uwm
Tom's Window Manager, which eventually became Tab Window Manager, or twm
Open Look Specification
The OSF narrows the search for a User Interface.
HP and Microsoft's CXI and DEC's XUI to create the HP OSF/Motif Window Manager.
Sun went on to build OpenWindows, which was X with OPEN LOOK on top to replace SunView.
COSE
In 1994, The OSF and Unix International, a body meant to standardize UNIX, merged, and in 96, merged again with X/Open into The Open Group.
Motif and CDE became one
KDE enters the scene.
May of 2000 when Motif was released as OpenMotif.
LessTif, because Less is Mo, published an initial statement
August 6th, 2012, CDE was relicensed under the LGPL and was available on SourceForge, where it still lives today.
After opening it up, 2.2.1 was released on March 1st, 2014.
The final release, at least as of this recording, 2.5.1, dropped in October of 2022.

The History of Debian
Before Debian there was Softlanding Linux.
August 16, 1993, Ian Murdock's announcement that started it all.
January 1994, Ian releases the Debian Manifesto.
April 1, 1994, Ian was struggling to keep up with it all and needed a break.
March 1996, Ian steps down as Debian Project Leader. Leaving Bruce Perens to take up the job.
The FSF pulls sponsorship but later the FSF "resumed cordial relations".
June 17, 1996, Debian 1.1 is released with the first ever codename based on Toy Story characters. It was named Buzz, after Buzz Lightyear. A list of all the Debian releases.
February 1, 1997, A board of directors had been elected for Software in the Public Interest.
February 20, 1997, Debian shows its intent to ratify a constitution.
July 1, 1997, Debian is really launched into space this time to monitor plant growth in microgravity, sending video and other data back home.
December 2, 1998, Debian ratifies a Constitution.
At the beginning of 1999, Wichert Akkerman was elected Debian Project Leader and started with giving Debian a permanent identity.
Logo on debian.org as of April 14, 1997
January 24, 1999, the logo license for Captain Blue-Eye, expired again.
February 4, 1999, a Logo contest announcement!
May 3, 1999, the submissions were in. Captain Blue-Eye was thought to be too Linux-specific.
June 8, 1999, The iconic swirl that we see today won the vote.
July 6, 1999, dpkg version 2, which was hinted at by Ben Collins back in May, is now officially a thing and the specifications are out there boasting a more modular design.
Debian weathered the Y2k storm with no major problems.
In October 2001, LAN Comp Systems begin mastering Debian 3.0 on DVD ahead of the official release.
Debian 3.0 was delayed because of broken boot floppies.
2002, the first net installation images were available.
2007, through a disagreement with Mozilla on backporting security fixes, would be replaced by the free-software version, Iceweasel.
2013, the trailing 0 on the major release is dropped. Minor releases will continue adding the point, as in .1, .2, etc.
Also in 2013, multi-arch support is added.
2020, Jonathan Carter was elected Debian Project Leader and has been reaffirmed three more times, and is currently serving as Leader.
June 10, 2023, Debian 12 is released, codenamed Bookworm.
