Two years ago I wrote about the arrival of the new Debian version, Bookworm. Every two years or so, Debian issues a new version, and, well, it's that time of the year again, Debian 13 (Trixie) has just been released, and it's very much awesome.
So, what's in the Trixie's candy store?

Conflicts over land and resources remain as present as ever. In this brief essay, I will examine how human territorialism is relevant and depicted in popular culture, more specifically in video games. While doing so, I want to explore the themes of power and isolation, but more specifically, the player's intimate sense of dominion over space and time within the universe of a video game. There are many titles I could include as examples, such as Civilization, Age of Empires, Rise of Nations, Far Cry and Empire Earth. However, I'll focus on just one: Generation Zero.
