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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
