Could you give examples as to what is messy? I used gnome on a daily basis, as well as Windows 10/11, and occasionally MacOS.

My experience is that gnome is consistent, consolidated and intuitive. While windows is all over the place, with at least two separate UIs with slightly different overlap in functionality.
I do. I live in Romania, and the bureaucracy level here is almost Kafkaesque. With digital services there's no paper pushing, the financial regulation in Estonia has been very stable, whereas in my home country it changes drastically almost every election cycle.

Mind you, I still have to deal with my state's institutions for reporting taxes (and what have you), but at least I don't have to manage a company here. It can involve a lot of running around and being present, whereas with an Estonian company I could move at any point to another EU country without having to think of ever having to come back and deal with company related stuff (sure, I could officially delegate someone to do that on my behalf, but those are just complications for complications sake).
What is a good Freedesktop DE then?
Free money dried up. You can’t bankroll losses with loans at close to 0% interest and thus spending discipline has to happen. Stock and valuation took a big hit and it’s harder to raise or sell stock to offset loses.

We will see a lot of gobbling up of small companies as the cash rich companies can shop for bargains over the next year or more.
> Simply imagine that the user thought that, by clicking the "X" button, he closed the app

Do most users think that, though? I remember chat apps minimising to the tray bar since MSN Messenger and Skype, possibly earlier, and it's a common feature in most current ones, as well as in other applications.

Now, it's true that some other chat apps display a floating panel to remind you that you're still in voice chat, but Discord's target audience is videogame players that don't want their media covered by such panel anyway, and most other chat apps let you close or disable such panel as well. Game consoles don't do so either.

I agree with the other points in the case, but this UX design being a GDPR issue makes it clear these people are out of touch with the market.
> you're saying that US usually says one thing, and does another thing entirely, you're right

No. I am saying you said "social justice is an objective of US as a whole" and hence "not a political view." Then you said "social justice is political only in USA." Those are opposing views you've flip flopped on.

> signed a document that stated that social justice is not political, it's a human right

No, it did not.

> like the ratification of International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in 1994?

You're launching off solely titles. Read the text [1]. Article 5 enumerates rights. The rest is condemnations and the establishment of a commission. China, Saudi Arabia and Israel are also a signatories [2]. None of them give Article 14 jurisdiction, the U.S. included, which made it a toothless ratification.

"The Debtors did not have the type of disbursement controls that I believe
are appropriate for a business enterprise. For example, employees of the FTX Group submitted payment requests through an on-line ‘chat’ platform where a disparate group of supervisors approved disbursements by responding with personalized emojis."

What a clown show, how did the big money investing in this (the retail money should have known better than to fall for "guaranteed returns" too but the big money was in a place where they could demand more than the hilariously bad "balance sheet" that was revealed a few days ago) not at least demand they have an actual accountant or two on staff managing their books? Some schmuck with no real accounting background using QuickBooks would have done a better job than these jokers. But I guess that was part of the point, letting the money flow fast and loose without any oversight is part of what makes the scam possible. Just glad I never got on the crypto hype train.

>Whether people produce floaters or sinkers may depend on their diet, genetics, how they were delivered at birth and their environment, since all of these factors are known to influence the mix of bacteria found in the gut, says Kannan.

As the article says, diet can play a role. For example, I think a high fat diet (like keto) is more likely to cause floating.

Buying BTC at an all time high was dumb, but stopping now that it's low would be dumber.

Saying that they lost millions is incorrect - they haven't lost anything because they haven't sold any of their BTC yet. And it's only been a couple years. We won't know if this was a good or bad investment until 2050.

Perhaps! Honestly I didn't research it too much after discovering the close company surchage. I also considered it even if I stayed in Ireland; have the company sock away €200k a year for 5 years and then pay myself €35k for life at Ireland's low income tax rates (taxes here are among the most progressive in the EU - low earners are taxed very little, or none at all, while people only a bit above the median income are taxed very heavily). Alas, it was not to be.
Gonna be a contrarian here but, well, so what?

This is a bug. Upstream (vanilla GNOME) fixed it. It hasn't been patched to downstream (Ubuntu GNOME).

Exposure to bugs can be reduced by choosing well maintained software projects, but they are sadly the norm past a certain level of complexity for many desktop environments. I could point to analogously silly bugs in my favourite DE (KDE), or even much more minimal projects like Sway and DWM.

At this stage, users have 4 choices (wow!):

1. Just wait for Ubuntu to port the patch (easiest)

2. Install vanilla gnome on Ubuntu (or use another distrowith vanilla gnome)

3. Install KDE or Sway or whatever you want on Ubuntu and learn that (or, again, use a different distro that has a new DE)

4. Become The Cool Terminal Dude (the custom keyboard layout community would like to talk to you about the word of the holy lord, staggered column layouts)

Personally I like option 2 and 3 because then I get to shill all the nice alternatives out there like Fedora and Gentoo, but you do you.

Why do you need the answer to this?

If your follow up question will be "how can the EU do anything against a company that operates outside of its jurisdiction?", then the answer will be "by making it difficult for people in the EU to do business with Discord".

The EU could restrict payments to Discord for example, cutting their revenue.
Agreed. This article reads like a cross between crypto bro speak and that project to make Minas Tirith a real city. In short, it looks really dumb and is possibly a scam.

There might be a relation, phasic vs tonic dopamine. But given the anecdotal nature of the ADHD-creativeness link, I’m not so sure. Would need to see some papers about if first.

Anyway, ADHD is comorbid with plenty of other disorders that are limiting on creativity such as anxiety, low self esteem, inhibited decision making, that it’s definitely not a given.

I think if you are doing the close is actually not killing the app you should ensure the user is aware the app is still recording. Some apps will show a recoding thinggy ont he screen or it will tell you before closing and you need to agree.

I don't have the time to test this, but if is true that you close the app and it sill continue recording that this is bad UX and the company should have prioritize fixing this instead of adding even more crap. Maybe some good practices would come from this.

> That's an interesting mindset making you immediately assume that about billionaires.

Yes. I do assume that. It's one of the most clear and unambiguous assumptions that could possibly be made.

Ask Warren Buffett; he'll tell you - it's outright outrageous how little tax he pays.

Ask Trump - he'll tell you all about how he navigates a rigged system, and how the entrenched political types will never allow that to change.

Ask people who study inequality at the highest levels, like Rutger Bregman or Hans Rosling. It's basically impossible to become a billionaire without massive exploitation and damage.

> Again, your mindset. How is it working for you? Are you happy with your life so far?

Ayn Rand being a hypocrite has nothing to do with mindset; it's just a fact. You can look up the details of her life yourself, and how radically it diverged from her written work.

Perhaps you've hung your conscience on her just-so stories, as many of the world's most destructive people have before you.

> If you don't see the connection, it's you who should think deeper and broader.

Happy to - if you can explain to me how underpaying a productive factory worker is like preventing a billionaire buying a yacht.

> That said, I think the electric unicycles are much more dangerous.

Not really. They seem that way because they require skill to ride, but people hurt themselves on electric scooters much more frequently. (People judge "danger" based on how hard something seems to pilot, not on objective measures of failure. Tiny slippery wheels and points of failure in the frame make the electric scooter a much more dangerous vehicle by default.)
GNOME isn't even a fraction of the problem, desktop linux is absolutely unsuitable for day to day use and that's nothing to do with the desktop environments. The foundational design decisions of the way applications are rendered in linux means that every experience is inconsistent, nothing even has the same file picker and it's always a surprise to see which one is thrown in your face in any given situation. This sort of inconsistency is ripe throughout every part of linux, everything works so long as you make it your full time job to work out what the incantation is to enable basic convenience features.
Also seems likely they staged a "hack" to suck out a few hundred million on the last day. Nice!

If I had to replace 10k batteries, I'd probably make (or buy) a machine for that too. However, even replacing 10k batteries by hand probably costs less in employee hours than a single one-off machine for either example.

(40 hours / 10,000 batteries = 14.4 seconds per battery; USA minimum wage = $7.25/h = $290 per 40h week, about the same as the cheapest hydraulic lift I saw on machinemart.co.uk at current exchange rates, but I'm not a mechanic so I don't know if that would be the right tool for the job anyway).

And of course, the same applies if we really had drone swarms — anything like this would be automated, up to and including full disassembly of damaged units so their parts could be reused for new units, e.g. https://youtu.be/pDZdnbI0MAc

Stimulant's are effective at improving mood and productivity. There is no question there. I'm highly skeptical of a "disease" or "disorder". Having worked in investment banks where the majority of people were on adhd meds, college where most students were on adhd meds, and seeing all these mid-life diagnoses - is troubling, esp. when prescribing these drugs to children. Its becoming normalized, and even celebrated. Sitting in a classroom for hours everyday, glued to your seat, demanded to shut up and pay attention, is not an ideal environment for kids. If you deviate from that, you could be a candidate for adhd. Once you start these drugs, its difficult to stop and you develop a dependence. I took them for years in my youth and deeply regret it, because it was simply a bandage for addressing areas of self improvement that I ignored. I wish I had someone around back then to play devils advocate.
