This Windows 11 Start menu change is now coming to Windows 10
  • KDE has very basic FancyZone inspired functionality that is very sub par (doesn't let you have different layouts on different virtual desktops for example). There's a KDE addon (I think) called Polonium that is a bit more capable I think but I haven't tried it. Other than that there's the desktop environment COSMIC that's in the works that's supposed to be a very tile/zone friendly regular desktop environment.

    India considers joining Russia, China to build nuclear plant on Moon.
  • I've got it. Since we're worried about rising sea levels on earth, we can just pipe the excess water to the moon and flood the moon's surface with water and use that for cooling.

  • Oh hell no. Gnome ain't getting anywhere near my laptops ever again. I almost threw the last one out a window in a fit of Gnome induced rage.

    Japan to criminalise cannabis use
  • All of this crap stems from one individual named Nils Bejerot, who was the anti drug guy for the government back in the day (he also coined the term Stockholm Syndrome, and was against comic books because he thought they would make children grow up to become violent). He considered drug use to be an infection in society that could spread from person to person, and the only way to stop the infection is a zero tolerance policy and to make society fear drugs. And oh boy did all that propaganda work. Still today, 36 years after his death. Through that lense, the article you mention "makes sense". It's incredible the effects one person can have.

    Japan to criminalise cannabis use
  • As a swede: Word. It's backwards as fuck here. The previous government didn't even want to investigate whether or not to decriminalize, because doing so (investigate, mind you) would "send the wrong signals". Yeeah fuck science and people's lives when you have "signals" to worry about.

    MAGA is straight up losing it after Taylor Swift’s Harris endorsement
  • “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”

    As someone living in a country whey we don't chop off the foreskin of little children, whereas conservative Americans love that chopping procedure, I find this statement slightly amusing.

    Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design
  • Should just be a roll up projector screen and you wear the projector on your forehead like a lamp. Also it's a lamp and you can project directions on the street when you're lost at night.

    Fuck Elon I got this. Give me money!

    Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead
  • I would be really happy if you're right, but I sadly think Google's fine here. As far as I understand it, this particular regulation is to prevent a powerful actor (Google, Apple) to use their monopolistic powers to shut alternative stores down. It's not about allowing customers to install whatever and however. Google doesn't shut anyone down with this, so they should be fine. They give the option for app developers to choose if they want to run only on an attested platform - which they sell as a completely optional security feature that nobody has to use.

    My guess is if the EU is going to take this further it would have to be regarding a potential monopoly on the attested platforms on the device. Google only offering their own platform as trusted could potentially be seen as another monopolistic behavior. If we're lucky.
