But Turkey is an ally and a NATO member.

I never stated that Starlink has any legitimacy over an elected government. My point is that Erdogan doesn't want his people to be able to communicate freely even in the middle of a catastrophe like this.

People asked Elon Musk on twitter to deploy Starlink to Turkey and he said he can't because it is not approved.

I wonder why.

It's FAANG companies who are firing, not your local webdev agency.

As soon as they start looking for people and offering salaries starting at 150k, tens of thousands will jump straight in.

Luckily I don't have any problems with my current Dell except overheating but that's a common issue, but after seeing all the problems with the XPS 12/15, Inspiron Plus 16, etc, I don't think I'll buy anything from them again.

Only if they started fixing their hardware issues...

Well, they are not starting everything from the scratch. And as you say, you can't have people with different ideas working on the same project.

Cosmic exists because Gnome devs have their own roadmap that many people dislike.

I don't actually see the fragmentation here.

You can move from Gnome Shell to this without having to change the software you use.

I think Pop_OS! is also a good choice if you want it only the the desktop and not servers.

They are doing a great work with their shell on top of Gnome and their own DE is on the way. Even though they are a company, they take the community seriously.

I can't wait to have a DE with screen independent workspaces.

I've never heard around here that spying is good when a democracy does it.

It may be better than when authoritarian countries do it because the consequences are not that severe, but that's far from accepting it.

While I think reducing VAT on basic things is a good idea, sadly this won't have any impact.

Why? It already happened before here. When someone sells something for, say, 1€ and then with the VAT reduction it should sell for 0.95€, they won't change prices which translates to more benefit. Why would they? Also they always can claim they did take in account the reduced VAT but their costs have increased and so their prices.

According to Twitter it's still available.

They believe the things they see online, especially if they see it over and over again. And it doesn't stop there, it also affects adults.

It is pandemic.

That's why the first thing you do once Ubuntu is installed is remove snap completely.

It's sad that now we have to fight against the OS like on Windows.

I'm neither of those.

Also I'm talking about Qatar here, not Argentina or France.

It's business for FIFA, geopolitics for Qatar.

This is the money spent on the last world cups.

QAT (2022) US$229 billion[1]

RUS (2018) US$16 billion[2]

BRA (2014) US$19.7 billion[3]

RSA (2010) US$7.2 billion[4]

GER (2006) US$4.9(€3.7) billion[5]

KOR/ JPN (2002) US$7 billion[6]

FRA (1998) US$2.33 billion[7]

USA (1994) US$500.00 million[8]

ITA (1990) US$4 billion[9]

No, it's because they play like crap.

I'm not defending France or anything. I dislike both teams, my team got eliminated a while ago.

But take a look at Argentina - Croatia. Argentina was way superior after the first 20 min or so, but Croatia was still holding. After the penalty Croatia was no longer playing football. When Argentina scored the second goal the defense was scared of even approaching the ball. A penalty in a tournament like this can kill the morale easily.

It's Qatar playing geopolitics. They didn't spend $200+ billion because they love football.

They want something big to show the world. What better than having one of the best players ever win a world cup before retiring?

That's how I see it.

You can watch the replay as many times as you want and you won't see Dembele touching Di Maria until he's already on the floor.

More in favour of Qatar.

They spend 10 times more than the other countries to host the world cup. They want it to be a big hit. That's why FIFA has been saying that this is the best wold cup ever and bla bla bla.

I stopped watching it after the penalty.

This is not football, it's geopolitics.

What does the internet stability have to do with htmx?

Just yesterday the EU put a $60 limit per barrel.

FTFY.

I think it's not only that. In my opinion is also about how Canonical handles everything. Everyday they look and act more like Microsoft. Empty words to sell you something, to convince you they're better.

You can't really act like Microsoft with people that are using your OS because they ran away from Microsoft and expect them to shut up.

I gave up after 2 images and 6 or 7 captchas.

Because when you're doing business in the EU you must follow EU law.

Nobody is telling MS what to do in the US.

Not being a totalitarian country gives you the right to spy on people?

You took my comment the wrong way.

I don't trust Microsoft and I don't really like VSC.

VSC is made by Microsoft but they have the community who make plugins, report bugs, contribute, spread the word, etc. They have the critical mass to make something like this work while Atom doesn't.

Atom did not die because Microsoft killed it. They didn't have to. They only had to push VSC. Now the original Atom devs are working on another editor (zed.dev) because even they know Atom is done.

Good luck to whoever is working on it but if the original devs couldn't keep it alive because of VSC, I don't think anyone else will.

I think both editors play in the same league and VSC has the community which is was matters.

Maybe it's not a bad idea to remove all the foods that need unhealthy vegetable oils.
