Just wait until corporate finds out what the Dutch Krampus looks like 🙈

It's a website rather than an app, but if you open it fullscreen, it's just as much fun: https://hackertyper.com

I'm assuming you've already found it, but just in case you didn't: Framework has setup guides for Fedora, which presumably should make everything work as intended. Find your device on this page, then click "Fedora 39 Setup Guide" on the right-hand side: https://frame.work/linux

I wouldn't worry about it too much; there's not really anything you need to do as a user anyway.

I'm fairly sure that that's unintentional behaviour. I reported it here, but if you have additional info to share there (e.g. your browser version), that would be fantastic: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1870820

Well, then I'd highly suggest you just use Xfce and not worry about GNOME so much. Xfce hasn't changed much in years.

they try to reinvent the desktop experience every 2 or 3 years

GNOME 3 was released 12 years ago, and hasn't changed that much (unless you consider horizontal virtual workspaces are a major paradigm shift somehow).

Just use something else if you don't like it; no one's "pushing" anything on to you. Clearly, other people do like it.

Yeah the latter definitely sounds excessive. As for "no argument needed", I can tell you that even if no argument is needed, that doesn't mean that students won't go for one :P

Slovakia, I don't know, but the Netherlands not really. The one party that might want to veto it, while the biggest in parliament, only ("only") got 20% of the votes. If they get to govern (which is not set in stone yet), they'll have to do so in a coalition with other parties who would not let that happen.

Identifying the breach requires unanimity (excluding the state concerned), but sanctions require only a qualified majority.

Wait, how does this work? Can sanctions be instated without identifying a country as being in breach? Or is unanimity first required, and only after that, the majority can decide what the sanction is?

Phones now are a way more important part of people's (and especially teenagers') lives than they were back then. And they're often also used to support lessons.

the rules for the 100% shouldn’t be made because 10% can’t self regulate.

Unfortunately that's hard to avoid, because those 10% will disturb lessons and take up the teacher's attention, thereby negatively affecting the other students.

Are the teachers supposed to do extra work to ensure no teen had a cell phone?

It's way easier for a teacher to take away a phone that disturbs a lesson when there are not supposed to be phones in the first place, than have to argue about exceptions and limits to the rules every time.

I agree and sympathise with your overall philosophy, but I'm also conscious of the practical limits, unfortunately.

 

Haagse journalisten? Financiële journalisten? Sportjournalisten? Thomas Muntz ziet ze nauwelijks als onderdeel van zijn eigen beroepsgroep. ‘Zij zijn veel meer aan elkaar verwant dan aan mij als onderzoeksjournalist.’

 

In de peilingen staan de partijen op rechts er samen goed voor, er wordt geflirt op die flank en PVV-leider Wilders stelt zich duidelijk anders op.

 

Een minderheidskabinet over rechts is voor NSC-lijsttrekker Omtzigt "een reële mogelijkheid". Het heeft bovendien zijn voorkeur boven een meerderheidskabinet met GroenLinks-PvdA of de PVV. Dat bleek in Van Torentje naar Torentje, een serie lijsttrekkersdebatten van de Twentsche Courant Tubantia en de Universiteit Twente.

What if we got to easily choose our web browser, and didn’t have to rely on complex operating system settings to change the pre-installed default?
