Clean energy is far cheaper to add than fossil fuel energy, despite fossil fuels having 9x the government subsidies worldwide!
We've hit the point where good financial sense aligns with saving the planet

For those who were unable to attend, or see the recording, these are the notes for my GUADEC 2025 presentation about introducing a formal technical governance in GNOME, starting from a "change proposal" process, through the addition of a steering committee to evaluate those changes, and all the way down to the removal of the role of the "maintainer" for projects that exist under the GNOME umbrella.

@FreakyFwoof And it's done, a simple checkbox in the options dialog. It applies to your currently opened documents too! If you have a giant book opened though it might slightly lag for just a second after closing the options dialog, I unfortunately have to recreate and repopulate the text controls. @ppatel commit 7cc91651e315ad8c887ab0d01749d0ebed586539

Added word wrap. The code for this is slightly horrifying, but I'd rather have to write slightly hacky focus setting code and possibly lag for a second if you have a giant document open when you toggle the setting as opposed to doing what JAWS does, and forcing a restart that actually doesn't even restart the app...

She's asking the right questions. Sadly, slavery IS a staffing issue. It's quite popular on farms. And it's not caused by "hiring illegals."
The US's biggest modern slavery case was 100% workers who came legally.
I'm an American & former farm worker. Let's talk!
To come to the US legally? Farm workers are supposed to get an H-2A visa.
In theory, H-2A visas are fine. They're supposed to work like a temp agency/worker-to-workplace matching service.
But in reality? So many H-2A workers are abused, extorted, cheated, raped, & held prisoner on the job.
Here's a brief piece on how over 100 people who went through the entire proper H-2A documentation process to enter the US legally, still wound up in slavery.

The #LG VX5300 joins the ranks of BREW phones with the ability to freely sideload unsigned apps!
I have noticed that the AppUI AppManager replacement doesn't play nice with the "Verizon UI" pop-ups on this device, so it's best to stick with the original "Get It Now" interface.
