Gnome pretty much works the same way as well

Sounds like a skills issue/design decision. Like the devs could do otherwise, they just didn't. There's nothing in GTK preventing this from working properly.

I'm not sure I understand... GTK can use full screens...

They made an incorrect assumption that some of us are correcting.

Even Gtk3 doesn't have that issue when properly coded.

Most of the reports I see about the police being awful seem to come from the US.

What's your issue exactly?

Yes that's the point. I'm replying to one one who thinks this is only an issue in the US.

The Dark History Of Saskatoon’s ‘Starlight Tours’ In Which Police Leave Indigenous People To Freeze To Death

Since at least 1976, [RCMP] police have picked up Indigenous men, women, and boys, then left them miles outside the city on sub-zero winter nights, leading to what’s known as the Saskatoon freezing deaths.

If only a party in the past had campaigned on that very issue. I'm sure if they hadn't delivered, we would never elect them again!

It matters because that missing minute is when he actually died. One minute he's alive, the next he's dead.

The video shows a totally different cell than the original news pictures yeah.

There's a ton of intricacies to it though, for example if you live in Canada you can't invest in one of the two retirement accounts without paying some pretty hefty fees. Those fees don't affect the rich who can easily pay it off, they only affect small times personal finance investing. Primary residence are only excluded for a relatively small amount (might be enough if you live in a small town, forget it if you live in a major metropolitan area past a small one bedroom condo), and the division with a partner isn't 50/50 like it is in Canada so your Canadian partner potentially looses a ton of money. Increases the cost of accountants and personal finance advisors by like three folds. Etc, etc...

I get that trying to get rich people to not use tax heavens is good. But this affects regular people who haven't lived in the country for years, decades, as well as their non American families.

I know this first hand, and second hand, as my immediate and extended family is all sort of cross border intertwined. It's a real pain in the ass.

Well there's and entire minute missing, and the video was released with Adobe Premiere metadata....

In China workers rights are pretty non-existent and there’s no OSHA equivalent, at least not to the degree we have in the US

How much maternity leave d'you get in the US? Cause in China it's a minimum of 90 days up to 180. And an extra 15~30 days of pat leave. Mandatory paid holiday? US: 0 China: 11. Sick leave? US: 0 China: months (at reduced rate). Vacation? US: 0, China: 1 to 3 weeks.

An employer that fails to allow an employee to take annual leave must pay that employee 300% of the employee’s daily wages for each unused vacation day

The work sfatey certainly remains an issue, like any developing country, but things are rapidly improving.

Efforts at work safety shall be oriented around people and reflect the principle of people first and life first, with top priority given to people's life safety. The philosophy of safe development shall be adhered to and the principles of safety first, prevention as the main target as well as comprehensive administration shall be followed to forestall and resolve major safety risks at the source.

Things aren't all roses in China, but y'all have to get off of your high horse when you know fuck all other than bland ass propaganda.

You could beat your wife, she couldn't really divorce you, and couldn't open a bank account. That's usually why they love the 50s.

like worker protections or unions

That's just patently false. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-China_Federation_of_Trade_Unions

It is the largest trade union in the world with 302 million members in 1,713,000 primary trade union organizations.

In September 2009, Ford entered into an agreement with the Department of Energy and borrowed $5.9 billion

They still hadn't paid it back in full in 2022.

Alternatively we could start subsiding local car makers

We have been. Bailout after bailout. For the longest fucking time, and have had insane trade rules and tarrigs in place for decades and decades. I'd argue this is what it looks like to have another country finally being able to play on a level playing field.

Yes but also not really. The two state solution is a band aid at best, and a stalling tactic at worst. Without a full return to at the very least pre 1967 borders, there's no way this is going to be any sort of morally justifiable. You truly think Israel is gonna get those settlers out? Ain't gonna happen. Let alone the right of return of Palestinian refugees or reparations.

Ah nice, thanks for the update. I'm glad they changed the name, that's a lot more attractive than something with Test in the name.
