The title of the article on the BBC page currently reads:

Streeting backs under-16s social media ban as government consultation concludes

And a quote from the article:

There is no consensus among the wider scientific community that screen time overall is harmful to children.

This is indeed a good speech. I often see of critique from both sides of our political discourse about some of his actions (security, climate change, neoliberalism, etc.), but I’m proud to have a smart, thoughtful, and well respected leader representing our country on the world stage. This is a tricky needle to thread, but hopefully one that can lead to continued peace & restored prosperity for all of us.

We didn’t ask for this, but we need to make the best of the current situation.

And to be clear, as a Canadian, I still view our southern neighbours as friends (excluding a few notable individuals), who are going through a difficult time. One that many of us saw coming from 1.609km away, but sometimes you can’t tell a friend their love interest is a psychopathic narsicist, because they’re too infatuated to listen or see it. They have to learn for themselves…

Unfortunately, in this case, we’re all being dragged along for the ride.

Even if this was an economically sound proposal, the next X45 magnitude solar flare might be a nasty surprise for reliability metrics…

Edit: at some point, this would also likely contribute to Kessler Syndrome, but at least we’d have chat bots.

Me as well. I don’t remember where / how I got the CD. Linux as a desktop has come so far since then!

That would sum it up nicely; however, It’d be unfair to not mention the 77 million Americans that voted for this clown, the 90 million people who neglected their right & responsibility to vote, and the 75 million americans who voted against him.

Voting matters…until it doesn’t.

I got a Framework 13 a couple months ago - it’s been awesome so far. I’m happy to support their business model & repairability - it’s super awesome.

Sucks for you guys south of the 49th parallel who have to deal with (pay) all these ludicrous tariffs!

Plasma is great for the flexibility (shortcuts), and so easy these days.

I was searching for task switcher, expose, etc. And just completely gapped on searching ‘overview’. (Web searches didn’t show it either, possibly because it’s too simple, so nobody posts about it.)

Next up I might have to play some window tiling (e.g. like i3, sway & hyprland).

Amazing - Thanks for that!

I just switched from GNOME to Plasma in the past week, after a long time on gnome, and Plasma 6 is great. The only thing I miss so far is viewing all my windows on the desktop when I push the meta key - alt-tab seems clunky in comparison.

Any suggestions there?

I also wonder how much the shift toward mobile devices in browser market share (>60% today from nearly non-existent 20 years ago) played into declining Firefox market share.

Not only was Chrome lean, clean and fast at the time, it was also the default option on mobile for Android. Same for Safari on iPhone. Since (most?) people use the default option, especially if it worked well during early adoption on mobile, it seems pretty understandable why we see chrome / safari where they are in browser market share.

Anyway, I’m glad we still have options like Firefox, and hope we don’t see decreasing support for the Gecko browser engine associated with the lower market share.
