I'm happy to say "i use arch btw" (actually CachyOS but without most of the weird cachyos-stuff but still using their v3 repositories) for about two weeks now. It's pretty great so far, no breakages or anything, feels very responsive and updates are much quicker to do, too, because pacman works really fast.
Alongside with Debian Sid and flakified NixOS of course...
apt-get install qbittorrent why would I visit their site for any reason?
And just to add - why is torrenting associated with shady stuff? Linux isos are available and download much faster over it, same for some monolithic applications like LibreOffice and other regular stuff.
I disagree. Telling the students there are three states of matter is just wrong and they have all the right to point it out. They keep that information for decades if not corrected/challenged and will give non true statements to others, their children, etc.
What the teacher instead should have said could may be: "There are many states of matter, currently we know of (amount). The most common however are these three: solid, liquid and gas. Maybe you will encounter a fourth: plasma. The others form in very specific situations that are very outside of our everyday life. You can look them up if you want to know more. But for this class, we only focus on the three most common."
Everything is correct, everything is clear. The scope has been set. Teacher still looks knowlegdeable and reliable. And most importantly: does not lie, tell false facts, he provides options for individual interests and builds trust and does not offer himself for attacks on his position by misusing the trust of the students by telling them factually false content.
Relying on groveling students is morally very bad as that's no relationship based on trust and respect for the pupils and can easily be challenged, like in this example. You would only be offering yourself for failure and risk your "dethroning", which is a bad foundation to build on from the beginning.
Depending on class structure another way could be to include the students and have the whole class collect the states of matter they know of. That way the "plasma" ones could shine and get heard. That way you will probably get to the common 4 but maaaybe someone heard of the BE condensat, which would be extremely cool and impressive. Wrap it up with "Great work everyone! Actually, we currently know of (amount) different states, insane, right? For this class we will focus ourselves on..." That gives bonus points for teamplay and class strengthening.
Debian sid user here. If it appears now or in two weeks in the repo does not change anything for me as I don't depend on the changes for my workflows. For Debian Stable I actually demand them to come much later, in a mostly bugfree version. What's the rush when it probably needs more field-testing?
I'm quite disappointed how rabid, mischievous and ill-wishing people have become. Really, what's going on here on lemmy?
Anyhoo, have a read at these two posts about owners having rust marks on their cars and how they are easily removed. They seem to be rusting particles from train transportation or other environmental stuff:
