Each time someone said "we should switch to PR (proportional representation)" in Cnaada, my main take is that they want the fascist (PPC) in the HoC.
France tried that once, it was not even a national PR, but per departement, and that's how the FN got it. And they never left. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_Fre…
Non withstanding that this require opening the constitution as it is a change a representation, unlike a run-off or preferential voting which both would rid of FPTP.

it did kill uBlock Origin. Albeit there is a less functional version of it.
It is possible (but harder) to write one with manifest v3, just that it's a lot of work and I have stopped caring when my contract at the ad company wasn't renewed.
Note that back at that time there was a bunch of limitations that were arbitrary and IMHO clearly designed for that.

This post aggregates a pretty interesting discussion, but my first takeaway is that Apple's behaviour around its dev platform make it specifically inappropriate for business software: unpredictability, random seasonal breakages, etc., all of which have a greater impact on software made with large teams as the volatility that affects each individual dev compounds as it cascades through the organisation.
The Internet of Things ended up being the internet of unsupported products.
Google is ending support for 1st & 2nd generation Nests and completely pulling out of Europe.

Google is killing software support for early Nest Thermostats
Software support for the original and second-gen Nest Learning Thermostat devices will end on October 25th, leaving customers unable to control them from a phone.Chris Welch (The Verge)
The EU is introducing an energy label for phones, together with mandatory requirements for phones sold in the EU;
- 5 years of software updates (AFTER they stop selling the device in the EU)
- providing important hardware parts (during sale and for 7 years after), including free software (if needed), to every repair shop, within 5-10 business days
- batteries have to make 800 charging cycles and still be above 80% original capacity
And on top of that, phones and tablets need this energy label (which also includes a fall damage durability and repairability score), and abide by the above requirements, from 20 June 2025.

Mám tu zachovalý cyklo navigátor Garmin Edge Explore 1.
Byl v provozu přibližně dva roky, teď už se mi doma jen válí, protože používám nový model Garmin Edge 1040.
Funguje perfektně, v pohodě se páruje i s Garmin radarem.
Přidám k tomu držák Force na řídítka.
Kdyby měl někdo zájem, ozvěte se.
Cena dohodou.

25.4.1917 se narodila královna jazzu ELLA Jane FITZGERALD.
Její téměř 60letá pěvecká kariéra začala 17.11.1934 na soutěži mladých talentů v Harlemu a obratem byla přijata do orchestru Chicka Webba. Následovala spolupráce s největšími hvězdami jazzové scény (Ellington, Basie, Cole, Armstrong, Sinatra, Goodman...). Ella ve stovkách písní očarovala publikum nejen svým barvitým hlasem, ale i velkým citem pro jazz a improvizaci.

“Georgia Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff told a voter in Georgia on Friday that he ‘strongly’ agrees that President Donald Trump needs to be impeached.”
“‘There is no doubt that this president’s conduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment by the United States House of Representatives,’ Ossoff told the audience … adding later that there is ‘no question’ a number of Trump’s actions have risen to the level of an impeachable offense.”
“‘I like you, and I will vote for you if you are brave, and you do what we need,’ she said. ‘We need him [Trump] to be impeached. We need him to be removed.’”

No dia 25 de Abril de 1975 tivemos as primeiras eleições verdadeiramente livres e universais em Portugal.
Esta eleição serviu para eleger a Assembleia Constituinte que elaborou a constituição atual, consolidando o nosso país com um estado democrático.

As noted by Allan, the post is his personal view and not an official position of the GNOME Foundation board. That said, I personally feel like it includes important context and is well worth a read.
@brainblasted oh... Is it written somewhere? Reading on the CoC procedures, there's the "Final warning, temporary ban, or removal from leadership" option, which seems to fit the official announcement about removal of Sonny from Board of Directors and all committees. But nowhere can I find the duration of the temporary ban.

Late last year I supported the Kickstarter for JetKVM. This device is a tiny little IP-KVM solution. It’s basically a refined package of everything involved in a PiKVM. Connect HDMI & USB from a computer-to-be-controlled, and Ethernet. Then the web interface on the JetKVM device allows that device to be remote controlled using just a web browser from anywhere there’s IP connectivity.
