Damn, alright haha, I completely missed that news. Good for them.

I think I’ve landed on Flatpak as my favourite between Snap, Flatpak, and AppImage. AppImage, when it works, is nice though. Snaps are just kind of inconvenient (auto-updates are a no for me) and bloated and the things Canonical are doing as an organization put a bad taste in my mouth.
So if I already use K-9 Mail, should I bother? Does anything set it apart yet?
At this point, I am an LMDE shill because it works so well for my non-tech wife. She has only had to use the terminal 3 times since I installed it for her in the summer and most of what she needs for day-to-day desktop computing came pre-installed.
It “just works,” even for multi-monitor setups, which I thought it would have trouble with.
This gives me Matilda vibes. The floating deer fits right in.
Brave uses their own search index, so they are quite literally trying to do that.
In Ontario, Canada people can opt in when renewing their health card (a card used to access public healthcare) or driver’s license, and it probably does positively impact the rate of opting in, but it really doesn’t seem to address the need. I’ve been a registered organ donor since I was 16, but most people I’ve brought it up with aren’t.
I suppose if choosing an option is mandatory instead of voluntary then that would change things for the better. Is that what Germany is doing?
I think this post is alluding to the results of the US election and asserting that (at least part of) the reason is that many people decided not to vote.
Related to people’s tendency to do nothing when faced with the need to opt in is the status quo bias—the tendency to do nothing when faced with making a decision.
For what it’s worth, I agree with you. Most telecom infrastructure funding has been historically pocketed. There is a chance it does work, though.
If not, maybe the tariffs will help in the short term by minimizing profit from overseas supply chains and incentivize American manufacturing, causing a positive effect on the sector in concert with CHIPS (but I doubt it).
Oh, the thing Trump called “so bad” on Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago? He said that tariffs are his preferred strategy to force companies to build in the US. Maybe that was just rhetoric and you can’t trust it, but he did say it.
As it stands, CHIPS isn’t going anywhere, so at least Americans won’t be totally fucked.
Why? I’m Canadian, so I guess the NATO requirement that we increase military spending to 4% of our GDP ($41 billion dollars). It’s pretty contentious and fucked up. It’s not like I’m an American single-issue voter, sorry to burst your bubble.
What conversations, specifically
Lol, okay, very specific. I’m talking about this community, where this rule was made despite there being basically 1 post per hour.
What conversations, specifically, are being stifled or overlooked due to US politics? The comm isn’t very active.
Not American, but can’t we let the country with the highest user count have one day to process this and wonder about the consequences? Even I need time and have questions lol. The US and Canada have a very, uh, close relationship, so this affects me too.
Every time I see the Fedora logo I think of DisplayFusion instead. Windows poisoned my brain. :(
Same here! I’m Canadian and, while we may have a snap election at any time given the current situation, our next scheduled federal election isn’t for almost a year.
I still find it so baffling that red states are limiting the number of polling places to make it as inconvenient as possible to vote. Surely that reduces the willingness to vote of their own base too. Given the electoral college, jerrymandering, and voter roll purges, you’d think they’d be satisfied with how things are rigged already without resorting to blatant disenfranchisement.
It would be cool for you guys to have a viable third party, so you should try to make that a reality outside of just voting if you can. I’m sure they would appreciate a donation or another volunteer after the election and local efforts are often more meaningful long-term since they help create the grassroots support that leads to national viability.
So I’ll preface this by saying I’m a late 20s Canadian who attended elementary school from 2001-2009, but we weren’t taught phonics (the actual system), we were taught about word sounds.
A lot of my classmates were on their own if they didn’t immediately “get it.” Also, it was encouraged to skip words if you didn’t know them and then try to guess what they were based on the context of the sentence. Lots of wrong guesses happened and those kids got laughed at.
I found it incredibly concerning as a kid because there were a ton of weaker readers who could barely get through a single sentence. This is still happening, even if it’s not in your child’s school, and that should concern you. These kids will grow up thinking they’re stupid when they just needed different tools like your son has.
“Were you dropped on your head as a child? That would just add to my problems.”
Yeah, same here, that’s why I specified that they’re only nice when they work. Often they just don’t work, so Flatpak is better.
