Not French here, but it's a common tendency across many western countries. Public education means higher expenditure and some countries are choking with debt so they have to brutally cut funds (education and healthcare are the preferred target, with education being at the first place because consequences are not immediately visible). The problem is not the elites anyway, it's the rest of people letting them do it and justifying it. If their children will become cheap workforce, their parents will be to blame too.

There are other countries following the same path, enforcing draconian punishment towards environmental activists (labelled by the press as "ecological terrorists").

That's strange, I made sure they are applied immediately and that they are persisted after every restart... uhm... looking into it further...

You can make it sticky by disabling the edge-to-edge option im settings but that's not what you are asking. And you are right, the change has been introduced recently starting with version 1.5.3.

A proper way to solve this would be to add another option if edge-to-edge display is enabled, to make it not completely transparent but with just some alpha.

It was worth it. It must remain for the memory of the posterity.

It was very popular in the 80s and 90s, indeed. With the new millennium it became slightly less "trendy" in favour of other "foreign-sounding" names. Trust me, Italians really like loans from foreign languages, even for peoples' given names. This often create a comic contrast with very Italian family names e.g. "Jennifer Fumagalli" or "Thomas Bongiovanni" which sound a little kitsch but it's also adorable.

You don't like a product? You don't buy it for you or for your kids as long as you materially provide for them. The company which sells it goes bankrupt and that's it. No need for prosecuting / banning by law the ideologies you don't like. As simple as that. Otherwise you are implicitly admitting you are wrong.

let's try a different one

I was wondering how much time would have passed before anything like this happened. The history of that part of Europe is so blood-soaked that one just has to scratch the surface a little bit to find ethnic cleansing crimes. Profiting of it for political propaganda is terrible, though.

The one about the "10-seconds rule" for sexual harassment generated a flood of ironic videos on TikTok and was in general received very badly by younger generations because the girl was "one of them" and they could relate. The other one is received with total indifference. Plus there's another: the son of the president of the Senate has been accused of rape and his father publicly declared that she was on drug/she waited 40 days to "remember" and sue the complaint so she is unreliable. All in a very short amount of time. To me it's a generational clash, unfortunately the younger don't have right to vote (and if they do they don't go voting) and the ones who rule are white/male chauvinists.

As an Italian, I feel truly ashamed. There is another case on the news in these days concerning the reduction of the sentence for a man who killed and torn to pieces his ex girlfriend due to "his being very affectionate but her being too libertine". What has gone wrong with this country?

The decision has been taken by a college of judges of the court (which is even worse than a single person).

As an Italian, that was indeed a good one! 😅😅😅 Sad but true, maybe people think to solve the problem like that here.

Totally agree. It's a tendency in all European countries: national healthcare is seen as public expenditure negatively affecting national balance, and private clinics are on the rise. Let's hope, at least, that taxes will be cut as well, otherwise we'll end up with a system that has the worst of the European model combined with the worst of the American one.

There have been several acquisitions in the meantime, that's true, but remembering the past helps not to be fooled again.

How strange, who would have guessed it... The timing is far from "perfect" though, national elections were last year. Maybe in next year's European elections some change will be visible.

Maybe he feels like some of those ancient Pharaohs who had the architects building their pyramids killed afterwards in order not to reveal anyone the inner secret passages.

Same here in Italy. We are ahead of the rest of Europe this time, due to having voted earlier last year. A word of warning: no matter how radical and extremist their claims are, once they take the seats in parliament they don't change anything. Here they came to the paradox of abrogating some laws of the previous government and reintroduce the very same measure with a different name. Only rhetorics will change (and not entirely for the good, unfortunately).

Am I the only one old enough to remember the 2006 deal between Microsoft and Novell? Now Red Hat is on the hot seat with everyone blaming and hating, I remember when Novell was in similar position in terms of community feeling betrayed.

Something had to be done and something is better than nothing, ignoring all red flags and continuing as if everything were fine (leaving problems to successors) is not an option any more.

Thank you for the clarification... Yes, it's the same in my country too. "Grip" is not the word I would use for the situation here, the Church does not enslave anyone nor it demand tithes on the harvest as in the Middle Ages any more, they too evolved! 😅

Thank you I feel less alone! Not sure whether it's a good thing, anyway. In Italy the government is playing the victim and boiling it all down to the plain old argument of "political interferences in judicial councils". They are working on a judicial reform which looks much a retaliation, though, which is a little worrying.

I am completely ignorant about Polish politics and honestly I didn't know about the "Poland A" / "Poland B" distinction. This meme made me learn something so thank you 🙏

Rather than "bored" I'd say "more concerned with other issues". To some extent it's already happening: war is no more a trendy news and inflation/unemployment/recession/climate are gaining importance. Unless you live in my country where.. uh.. trials involving ministers and public officers take half of the screen time on the news. 🇮🇹🤌🍕 (All forms of "mass distraction")

It's on the instance, it happened to me too some hours ago and all of a sudden all clients stopped working (complaining about me not being logged in). One of the workarounds for the hack was actually invalidating all sessions, so maybe we were all logged off. Source: https://lemmy.ml/post/1953164

In Italy the name Mirko, imported from Slavic neighbouring countries, is quite diffused but it's not uncommon to ask «Do you spell it with a c or with a k?» because the k letter is not normally used in Italian spelling. To which the answer is often (joking) «Obviously with a k otherwise it would be a circus» due to the fact that Mirko and circo sound very similar in our language.

How absolutely delightful it was to review PRs on that web console. And how easy and straightforward it was to setup notifications when the state of a PR changed (e.g. to configure an SNS topic triggered on the repository event with an email endpoint subscribed to it). It was last year. I don't work there any more.

I totally relate to this. I didn't like the environment on R*ddit, but here people are much nicer, so the addiction is even worse!

Even "less sh*tty" is a valid criterion, though! I totally agree with your idea about the "illusion of choice", but it doesn't depend on the number of parties. With many smaller parties it would be even worse, since after the elections nobody has the majority and they have to create (to say as much politely as possible) "original" coalitions to rule a government which in the end is useless because most decisions are supranational.

Questa è sicuramente una buona notizia! Tra l'altro, non sapevo che avessero reso disponibili le librerie open source per interrogare le loro API, possono essermi utili in un progetto, alla fine anche con account free c'è una quota che si può utilizzare.

Very interesting article, the ideas it offers are very inspiring and should make us reconsider some positions we maybe took (collectively speaking) too in a rush. It's true that we unconsciously use double standards, and some of our politicians missed a chance to be on the right side of history. I wonder how they will be remembered by future generations, it there will be any future generations at all.

What a pity! Even better if the pile of banknotes goes on fire by itself due to spontaneous combustion in an overheated environment!

People are free to either agree with the CEO view or to not use the platform. Sad but true. At least it reminds us all that it is a private for-profit company and always has been. No matter whether the "value" of it was mostly provided by user-created contents.

Hope you will, really from the bottom of my heart. I am writing from the EU, a region where no matter what we vote we're double tied with what you on the other side of the Atlantic decide. So please be wise next year and think of all the lives that depend on your freedom of choice.

Is it only me or does anyone else think something has gone wrong with the EU? Shouldn't it have prevented wars and poverty promoting collaboration and solidarity? Especially for the countries which joined with the 2007 expansion like the ones mentioned in the post, I think their expectations were utterly "betrayed".

A similar article on The Verge reports basically the same news. I would like to hear people's opinion on that.

Surrogacy and, in general, parenthood by LGBT couples is a highly divisive theme where legislation should be extremely cautious since no long-term impacts are available and there is no evidence that they have a positive effect on society. Nonetheless, using them against minorities to justify extreme right wing propaganda and unite against a "common enemy" doesn't do any good either (and in this case there is clear evidence of where this is leading). I wonder what would happen if LGBT people stopped paying taxes and/or care about their societal duties since they don't have equal rights.
