I guess the point of my argument isn't about whether you should or shouldn't condemn the specific action, but whether it should or should not be legal and, if not, what the punishment should be. That, at least, should be consistent, because the government response should be proportionate to the inconvenience, so if you believe your cause outweighs the inconvenience, then it should also outweight a proportionate response.

One especially helpful mental trick is to imagine you actually believe what someone you disagree with says that they believe. For example, I don't believe that actual lizards control the country and systematically rape children, but if I did... Well, obviously that belief would justify quite a lot.

The test to see whether you agree with an argument like this, is imagining people protesting something you are vehemently in favour of. If you'd still agree with it then, then the logic holds.

"The browser chrome" is the name historically given to the parts of the browser that are not the website. Then Google created a web browser and decided to name it after it - but userChrome.css existed before the browser Chrome did :)

Good to hear, I hope that plays out!

Yeah, that's fair enough. It's not just working overtime though - endless toil on never-ending projects, especially when at a certain point, you're not really making visible progress but rather are just working on a seemingly endless list of bugs and papercuts, is also terrible for motivation. The good news, of course, is that the Pop!_OS GNOME extension also got delivered, which, though a lot smaller than COSMIC DE, I'm sure also wasn't a small undertaking.

Yeah I mean, that's the thing with marijuana legislation in the Netherlands in general - it's not legal in the first place. It would, of course, be preferable if it was actually legal (and this might very well be a step on the road to get there), but yes, in practical terms, there's not too much impact - whereas this plan addresses an actual problem, i.e. criminality involved with the drug supply of coffee shops.

They actually did:

The Voyager team sent commands over the weekend for the spacecraft to restart the flight data system, but no usable data has come back yet, according to NASA.

Unfortunately, that didn't help. So now they'll have to find out what's causing this, and then see if they can fix it.

Home-grown was already possible. What do you see as the problem with this plan?

I mean, I don't really mind - I'm pretty happy with GNOME. All I'm saying is that if I were the project manager, I'd worry about delivering something and not burning people out ("focus is choosing what not to do" and all that, and the last 20% of the work taking 80% of the time). But in the end I'm just a random person ranting on the internet, of course - I do actually hope that I'm wrong.

But a diff viewer in the text editor... It just sounds like folks are eager to jump on shiny new things rather than finishing something, from the outside 🤷 Looking forward to be proven wrong!

The ones that are available now should be less prone to slowing down your device, and can deal more gracefully with being terminated by Android to save battery.

No one would want to build applications for a platform that lacks widgets capable of properly displaying, formatting, and editing text.

Is the idea that people are only going to be running Iced applications in COSMIC? It feels to me like the realistic option would be that, if COSMIC ever becomes daily-drivable, people would still be using GTK applications with it, at least at first. Might as well use a GTK text editor then? Then System76 could focus on building a text editor after COSMIC is a thing, and COSMIC would hopefully arrive sooner (or even at all - this looks like the path to burnout).

Ik durf niet te oordelen of het een goede inschatting is, maar ik snap de redenering wel: nu is het in ieder geval in één keer voor iedereen duidelijk, in plaats van dat je de komende tijd nog op sommige plekken 30, en of andere 50 mag, en dat die plekken constant veranderen. Ik neem wel aan dat bij al het toekomstige onderhoud de weginrichting ook onder handen wordt genomen, waardoor die langzaam maar zeker in lijn met de maximumsnelheid gaat zijn. Je zou ook nog eens tot dan iets minder streng kunnen handhaven, en dan is de overgang in de praktijk alsnog geleidelijk aan.

In het artikel staat dat ze in Utrecht het wel geleidelijk aan hebben gedaan. Zal interessant zijn om die aanpakken achteraf te vergelijken.
