    Why do you think so? My wireless Samsung Buds are about 2 years old and they are working great, as if new. Meanwhile when I had various wired headphones before that, 2 years was about their top life, mostly because of the cable getting damaged, which you can't replace anyway. So the argument of battery not being replaceable is totally irrelevant for me, and I think for most other people as well.

    Exactly. I'm now on 4 years old Samsung S10e, with replaced battery and display, because I can't see myself using ANY of the new phones. All of them are so giant and heavy, and I already feel like I'd like something smaller than my current one... I guess the Fairphone philosophy wins anyway, hehe.

    You might have some luck with a controller, using only a half of it, and re-mapping all controls there. Steam Controller might be great since it has touchpads. That might make some mouse-requiring games playable.

    Using only keyboard, damn that's difficult to find something, haha. I think these might work, just going by my memory: FTL, Toki Tori, Undertale, VVVVVV, Braid, Dome Keeper. Basically that kind of simple 2D games. Then almost any racing game.

    You could also try some eye tracking solution, can't help with that though.

    I don't use YouTube website at all. I'm not even logged in there. I use purely RSS feeds of my selected channels, and my RSS reader embeds those videos in its web UI. I hate all the noise of the standard YT.

    This is one of the rare instances when I'm glad I have Samsung with their custom UI. I have to sometimes use a Pixel phone, and those new Android 12 settings tiles overall are just mind-boggling. It feels like a change just for the sake of change, ordered by marketing department or something.

    Uhm, it kinda does? On the Home page you have Daily mixes, which are pretty well grouped, and some other playlists. Although those seem to be based on your history rather than liked songs, which I personally prefer anyway.

    Fedora uses DNF, with rpms under the hood, not sure how that works, haha. Honestly I have no problems with it. I'm no power user, but it does everything I need. The only downside being kinda slow repo fetches.

    I use many extensions, but I also like this "keep the vanilla simple" approach of Gnome. Instead of trying to support many different workflows, it does only one, and it does it well. Everything is much more polished, compared to other DEs, simply because there's less stuff. And support for extensions seems to be excellent, since there's so many of them and they often work very well.

    Updating is not too bad, as long as you don't update as soon as new major Gnome version is available. I usually wait a few months, and by then all extensions are either updated, replaced by a fork, or obsolete.

    the only way I can think of to know which apps are in the background of that workspace is to memorize it

    If you press Meta key and scroll, it shows all windows in each workspace. I think that's also in vanilla, not one of my many extensions, haha.

    Sounds like the solution is simple - just split up Germany again, haha.

    Well only half-joking, it worked out great for Czechia and Slovakia. Inequality of the regions was one of the main reasons for the split, similarly as you describe it. And funnily enough, Slovakia is also heading in the far-right/populist direction.

    Fun fact: Unlike Int, UInt doesn't extend Number, but sometimes it does

    I bumped into this interesting behavior around unsigned types. At first I was confused why `UInt` doesn't extend `Number`, but as I was experimenting, it got weirder. It sometimes is a `Number` (see case `c` below) and sometimes isn't (see case `d`)?! ``` val a: Int = 12 a is Number // true val b: UInt = 12u b is Number // doesn't compile, `Incompatible types: Number and UInt` val c: UInt = 12u (c as Any) is Number // true, Idea says "No cast needed" val d: Any = 12u d is Number // false ``` I guess this is partly legacy of Java, which doesn't have unsigned types, and partly effect of `UInt` being `value class`. I'm curious if someone has a deeper explanation.

    I honestly think this should be the standard for all binding referendums with answers "keep it as it is" / "change it". Maybe not 75% but at least 55%. Implementing a change at 50% is so ridiculous. It can swing around by a single news story, weather at the polling date etc.
