Something odd happened yesterday with Debian 10.10 and Xfce.
This was running fine. I installed Texlive, Tex Studio and Jab ref
Somewhere within that process
xfce4-panel was removed as a package. As a result netierh the top panel and my bottom panel for launching applications worked.
Nextcloud client complained as it needs the panel area to work.
Not sure what happened, eventually re-installed just the xfce4-panel as package
Just seems a rather odd and ramdom thing to happen, clearly there is something within a pacakge somewhere that is telling apt to remove xfce4-panel.

It is thought that most elliptical galaxies are the result of galaxy mergers, such as shown here in computer simulation.
During the merger the compression of the gas and dust of the two galaxies sets of a flurry of star formation, using up pretty much all of the gas and dust.

ID systems can put trans people at risk, especially when there is no way (or poor ways) to correct them. Great piece in @CodaStory on how the Jamaican trans community is challenging the new digital ID system.

Turns out Linux Tech Tips' Linux "Challenge" is all about gaming. Maybe a vast majority of their viewers are into gaming, it maybe I'm just the only one not into gaming. Either way all they talk about is gaming and I do not find it interesting.

Framasoft are one of the few no-bullshit, non-Silicon Valley organisations working to protect your freedoms online and they’ve been hugely supportive of us since the very beginning.
Please support them if you can.
