I'm sorry, but this is still all based on a misunderstanding. Even without this change, apps still have the ability to use a different theme besides adwaita, and with the change it's still a thing that they have to opt-in to. Asking for a theming API will not change the reality of this, and in fact the discussion there is still all centered around things that are still opt-in for app developers. They get the final say when it comes to their own apps, and if they decide they are going to hard code in adwaita (or some other theme) or use some toolkit that doesn't support themes then then that's the way it is. I would advise not putting so much weight on non-technical rants from twitter, and instead I suggesting focusing on finding ways to help app developers deliver you the best apps that they can.

I don't understand why you are talking about Android and/or Google, there is no GNOME Inc. that is directing development. If you want to know more about how the GNOME community is structured, please consider starting by reading this blog series: https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2021/06/11/community-power-...

>And GNOME/GTK devs get to decide what's the best possible experience for the user — removing any customization possibilities for the sake of consistency. If anyone doesn't like that, they can piss off. This is pretty much what "making someone conform to someone's way" looks like.

Please don't take such a cynical view, if you look at things that way then using anyone else's code would be "conforming to their way" because ultimately that's what it is isn't it? Someone else decides the best way to write that code and then you use what they wrote. Since I don't think you wrote all your software yourself from scratch, there is obviously some level of compromise there that you already acknowledge, so what is the real issue you're having? And I don't mean something vague like "my theme broke" I mean how does it relate to the end goal of what you're trying to change these programs to do?
Ah I see, on Firefox mobile, one cannot load extensions from their website, only from some extensions manager inside the app.
This is the reality right now. Dictatorships and Juntas arise if enough voters (nerds in this case) are apathetic.

The totalitarian (and corporate) Steering Councils that pop up in some OSS projects are rarely elected by a majority. Nasty politicians and the mentally ill apply and get 30% of the votes. The rest of the voters do not apply or care enough to vote them out.

Historically, even Hitler never had a majority in an election. He got total power by the enabling act:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enabling_Act_of_1933

He was also mentally ill and a meth addict later in life.
Please remember such cases before falling into apathy.
I am seeing a lot of these contrived tedious comments shilling for this company.
I see your point now. That whole "insurrection" thing at the Capitol all happened at a stage in Hollywood with a greenscreen background, right? Either that or Elon Musk invented a Star Trek-like HoloDeck which would make it even more lifelike. The fires in California are not fires, the flooding in New York is not flooding. There was no tropical storm in Louisiana. All bullshit. All made up by Hollywood. And the Earth was created 6,000 years ago, and all 10 million scientists in the world who say it is 4.5 billion years old - all of them - are in the biggest conspiracy theory ever. Bigger than Bigfoot even. Oh, and the world is flat. I know all the Space launches and so called "pictures of a round earth" are all doctored, all by the libtards and Hollywood. Gotcha.

Is there a TurnMeToThePolice app for linux or windows ? and who installs it for free ?

For server side makes 100% sense , I use Facebook,Gmail, Dropbox for free so I expect they will scan shit for stuff. For sharing files I am also expect that cloud providers will also scan and respond for copyright violation, makes sense , for stuff you post on Facebook I also expect they scan for porn or other stuff that is against their TOS.

But it would be retarded to install something to scan my local files and report me to the police if I had nothing t6o gain from it , so you have already the iPhone, you paid for it, if Apple wants you to allow them to install this shit you should think, why? what I have to gain? Do I trust Apple and my government, what about the future government and the future Apple? The equation is that you gain nothing and the future is unclear so it is 100% a FACT that is a net negative for the user.

Still nobody found an answer why Apple did not scan iCloud for CSAM? And why are they starting now with this "think different" way of doing it. If you are a think of the children person you should denounce the fact they did nothing so far , if you are a privacy kind of person you should ask why Apple is giving up now on privacy.

Thank you for responding to my incorrect take constructively. These were both good thought experiments and I concede, alive is definitely not a binary concept.

In your opinion, what organisms are intelligent?
Pretty much all organic carbon in the soil ultimately comes from the air.

Yes, atmospheric nitrogen is fixed by bacteria, but it's not just on legumes, they are simply the most known and prominent.

If your comment was true, fertile soil would never have developed in the first place. Read posts where people are gaining about an inch of topsoil per year (in good conditions). They are not trucking it in. Even on depleted soil there is a natural succession that slowly develops fertile soil (not in all conditions, but again, not trucked in, just needs moisture, wind not blowing it off etc).

> If you're not losing carbon in your soils, it's because you're bringing it in from somewhere else, and it's lost there.

Heralding imported soil as soil regeneration is flawed, but so is your premise.

The main argument here is that we are afraid that governments can demand, through court, that Apple should add some other hashes than the ones they start with.

What is preventing those said governments from going through the same legal process demanding that Apple should implement such a system from scratch?

Maybe we need a new definition for these extreme groups? I've always found using left and right to describe authoritarian hellscapes to be a little off...

And to be honest I've always found using left and right when viewed from an American perspective to not work either. In my country the furthest "right" mainstream party would sit a mile to the left of your democrats while the republicans would be considered "extreme right" bordering on illegal.
Without being fully immersed in a Cantonese environment (which, depending on your definition, basically only includes Hong Kong and some parts of the Guangzhou area), it's almost impossible to really "learn" Cantonese outside such environments, since there's actually very few resources for intermediate/advanced learners of Cantonese...

There isn't a proper Cantonese dictionary (yet). The existing ones either assume you are already familiar with Mandarin Chinese, or are just simple translations to English.

There (almost) aren't any children's books in Cantonese.

There is very few literature, and serious books written in Cantonese.

The reason being Cantonese being traditionally considered a 'slangy spoken dialect of Chinese' not fit for writing serious work.

We're trying to fix that, but it will take some time.

Elections. If people start demanding maximum security, it can become a popular opinion. This can definitely happen but at the moment implementation of listening devices to everyone is unpopular.

It's useful to remember that organisations are made of people with individual aspirations. Some would really want to have listening devices implemented to everyone so that they can do their jobs better(usually the intelligence people, the police etc), others will want it for less "Acceptable" reasons but at the end of the day the people who can allow or disallow it will have their careers determined by the general population in a very public manner.
> I think intelligence starts when the internal system controlling behavior develops a model of the outside environment and operates on it to drive decisions.

But isn't that what one of the studied fungi did? To make a decision to grow into the direction where it found food the last time instead of every direction like it did before, it needs to have some sort of model of its environment in its memory, and needs to be able to make decisions based on that model.
I think people have vastly different work situations and that helps drive the divide. "Woke" ideas are just not that intimidating if you trust your boss and have a sensible employer. Other places it could seem much more of a threat to you personally. This difference in experience is less explicit than in the past when workplaces were more political places. Management can act benevolent whilst subtly gaslighting their people.
Presumably because yellow should work for everyone. There will always be some people who are offended that a choice exists, even if they don’t plan to take it.

And the reason why companies do that and not hire the entire team away (as was done with BSD in the past) is the GPL license.

While today's Linux can't get away without company support that support is a consequence of the license. As much as I despise GPL, it allowed projects to stay open even when every core contributor being hired away would be a profitable move for some companies.

Are you kidding? Certain pirate sites have been compared to the library of Alexandria due to their massive collections and organization. No copyright holder ever managed to even come close, some streaming services can't even manage to list episodes in order. Pirates often care more about quality than the companies that release the product they're pirating. You'll see pirates using hacked PS3s to rip SACDs for the best possible audio. You'll see pirates sourcing multiple Blu-Rays in order to create the perfect encode.

These people work their butts off. It's honestly embarrassing that billion dollar companies can't compete.

JCVI advises that children and young people aged 12 years and over with specific underlying health conditions that put them at risk of serious COVID-19, should be offered COVID-19 vaccination.

At the current time, children 12 to 15 years of age with severe neuro-disabilities, Down’s syndrome, underlying conditions resulting in immunosuppression, and those with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD)[footnote 1], severe learning disabilities or who are on the learning disability register are considered at increased risk for serious COVID-19 disease and should be offered COVID-19 vaccination.

The space race was a wild time. "Accessory to War" by Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a fun and easy read that talks about some pretty sketchy things. And it's nothing new either, the whole WW2 showed in full display that leaving the military leverage science is a dangerous pandora box.
Well, you have a natural experiment right here. N95 masks were out of stock from the beginning, while KN95 never were, and prices were higher, but still affordable for the vast majority of the time since the beginning of the pandemic. It varies between suppliers, but I (in an eastern european country) bought my parents a box-of-boxes of high quality masks when I found a decent price. I think it was about $200, and there's still enough left for a couple of years. Still no shortage.

History repeats itself.
What do you reckon is the reason for the increase in gay kids in the west after the decriminalization of homosexuality in most western countries? Hint: it's the decriminalization and social acceptance allowing gay people to come out of the closet rather than having to pretend they're straight for fear of consequences.

The kids aren't being transed. I know there are several mostly British authors having extremely loud voices spreading FUD about "rapid onset gender dysphoria" but that's not even a thing. It's based on a paper that used answers from parents about trans kids. Follow-up research has demonstrated that to the kids it was anything but rapid. You might as well invent a phenomenon of "rapid onset body size" to explain why grandparents will insist "how can you already be so big, it feels like you were a tiny baby only such a short while ago".

You're overthinking this, but to ease your mind: people aren't undergoing HRT and surgery because all the cool kids are doing it. They might experiment with neopronouns and gender identity labels for a bit but there's literally no demonstrable harm in that.

Also if you think identity politics is a new thing: US politicians literally put God on the dollar bills to appeal to Christian conservatives (prior to that the national motto was always "E pluribus unum", not "In God we trust"). We just don't tend to think of things as identity politics when we take the identity for granted.

EDIT: That you see more trans people is a good thing actually. Visibility is the result of social acceptance. And social acceptance is the biggest contributor to reducing suicidality and improving quality of life. Trans people haven't been killing themselves because they're trans, they've been killing themselves because everyone kept telling them they're not. You can't trans a kid any more than you can make them gay.
Student tracks Bluetooth headset wearers by wardriving around Oslo on a bicycle
Tchaikovsky's 1880 work 1812 Overture, which is scored for artillery and has passages marked as ffff (in a score, "fortississimo" (fff) instructs the musicians to play the marked passage extremely loudly and is normally the loudest volume specified; "fortissississimo" (ffff), which means to play louder than fortississimo, is sometimes used) has been described as the loudest classical piece. The piece has been played with FH70 155 mm (6.1 in) howitzers and Type 74 Main Battle Tanks included in the orchestra instrumentation (a typical 155mm howitzer generates about 180 dB at the source, sufficient to sometimes cause immediate and permanent hearing damage (artillery crews are issued hearing protection)). The piece is usually performed outdoors or with simulated or recorded cannons, but an indoor performance with live cannon at the Royal Albert Hall has been cited as having been particularly loud.

I keep seeing China getting blamed for this move that was only targeting US phones. While it's definitely possible China would have tried to also force implementation in China, if a government deserves blame for this move it's the US government.

They are not using the wrong "medical" treatment. It is NOT a medical treatment, at all.

In this case, 100% do NOT help them, if needs be. They are so proudly and loudly anti-vax, anti-mask, inject bleach into their bloodstream, that they should get what they deserve.

What I'm saying is that gunshot wounds, broken legs, stuff that is not the results of people taking eating poison on purpose, or not getting the Covid vaccine or not wearing masks - they should be lowest on the totem pole, and only treated when everyone else is done. End of story. And if someone comes in after some idiot is being treated for being an idiot, then they should get the idiot off the bed and make them lie on the floor, and put the person who has an actual real injury onto the bed. The person lies on the floor until the medical staff can get to them again, because there's only so many beds. That's what I think.
unlike socialists i think the price of labor is simply the price at which someone accepts working for someone else, agree to by both parties. my price is exceptionally high because i’m highly skilled and intelligent and in demand and the market sets a price for that.

if someone has zero discernible skills but the government interferes and pays them more for doing nothing at home than their labor is worth then that’s the issue.

my pay is based off supply and demand not stealing and mooching or government fiat

and i don’t have the arrogance or tyrranical nature to presume i know the optimal price better than the market does
The site is all about suing people who never interacted with you on the suspicion they might help someone to abortion. Even if they win, it will cost them a lot of money and effort.

The fact that you speak about FIFA in a positive light tells me you’ve never seen a football game, let alone been to a football stadium where racist abuse is being hurled. In Italy it’s especially bad, with banana peels being thrown on the pitch to abuse black players. FIFA doesn’t do anything about this. They take a “see no evil” approach to individual instances while professing to “kick out racism”.

You seem to think football is a niche sport in Europe. It’s not. It’s by far the most popular one. If racism is endemic in it, that indicates a wider malaise. Don’t try to excuse it by saying “no only a minority of fans…”

Please, just stop talking on a subject you’re clearly out of your depth on. And please stop this nonsense about racism only existing in America. It’s just not true.

The most virulent forms of racism are a symptom of material conditions, eg., that poor black people live uniformly in one area, and rich white people in another. This creates a competition for local resources, including demands on police time and attention. This competition reporduces racism, in that it is very hard not to have racism when "looking out for one's own" is a racial matter.

What we have in Wokeism is a pseudo-politics, in that, it make no material demands. The woke concern is against alleged "implicit" forms of racism which "harm" graduates jockying for position within large corporate structures.

It reads a little like "what happens when the upper middle-class discover that they too may, possibly, have been discriminated against".
