That’s the whole statement and tbh I agree. It’s never anyone’s fault for being a bad person, but it is 100% their responsibility to right their wrongs.
There was also a talk at GUADEC that discussed this exact feature but even more fleshed out, I believe for GNOME. It was reminiscent of iOS or Android’s sleep and resume capabilities for apps.
Something I’ve found to have worked well in the past is phone breaks. It helps regulate phone usage and makes students far more likely to pay attention, myself included. The teachers that had the most success gave us phone breaks. Regulation and breaks > punishments.
I mean the concept is kinda cool, but I really don’t think the average Apple user is using those. I didn’t even know that existed when I was using macOS a couple months back. Even most Apple power users I know don’t use those or know of them. Probably the hardcore apple fans use them but I don’t know of anyone else that does. It does seem confusing in the long term.
It’s always interesting that people say this, since I feel the exact opposite is happening. Not necessarily an increase in difficulty per se, but a massive increase in time commitment. It feels like compared to say like 1.12 it takes nearly double the amount of hours to achieve the same progression and way more time to do everything else. Like making farms has become mandatory for gameplay just to not waste insane amounts of time trying to actually play the game.
Now that I think about I might make a general post about this.
I don’t know that much but I know it’s not much different than the regular election process. Judges have to "campaign" and get elected by voters in certain states. This did not used to be an issue as much in the past as judges would indeed be biased but they wouldn’t exercise it as much. (Still not a great system at all imo)
Recently though, judges have been way more political as certain historical rulings have moved out of fact-based territory to religious/politically based entirely like abortion or gay marriage.
Amending a constitution is actually pretty hard so the courts have massive leeway to decide on issues like abortion despite it being more of a policy thing than a law thing.
The 3.9GB is not just libreoffice, that number also includes runtimes. At most you would only install maybe around half of your host systems’s packages in runtimes for all the apps you use. There shouldn’t be any more usage than that. And even less if you stick to apps that fit your DE. Like if I just stuck to apps that used the gnome runtimes, I would have a pretty minimal installation.
Unfortunately, the dependency problem is really hard to solve, and at least they deduplicate what they can. Everything else works perfectly as well besides some minor issues with the sandbox connecting to the host system in certain edge cases.
Also please don’t link flatkill, it’s woefully outdated and every point on there has been addressed for years; it should be taken down.
I think you’re misunderstanding what the claim here is. The payments are not necessary for Flathub and flatpak (though they take a cut), it’s revenue for developers. Revenue they would have never seen if their app is packaged in distro repos like normal. Implementing payment systems in the native package format is basically impossible which is why no one ever did it. Flathub is giving app developers (whose job is oftentimes thankless) a chance to receive easier funding or even a livelihood. All around a good thing.
I’m really not seeing the logic here, so called "feelings" are scientific facts and we do studies on them all the time. Is hunger not a feeling? Same thing with self-representation. Those aren’t nebulous concepts. Those are well-established scientific facts. Gender is an important part of self-representation and from all indications, one people have very little control over.
