3 days seems like a good “default” but I agree I’d definitely like the option to make it shorter.

As someone who uses YouTube Premium, this title piqued my interest. While lifetime would be nice, I figured it would be at least 1-2 years, which could make this phone pretty good value for me. At 3 months, I agree, I’m not sure if it’s even work activating.

While they call it a department, it’s not a new department. They renamed the “United States Digital Service” and created the “U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization” under it.

The White House has said Musk and his DOGE colleagues are “special government employees.” It has yet to be seen of that arrangement is legal, but as it stands, they are part of the government workforce which is why bureaucrats are “going along with this”.

As much as I’d like to be able to swap batteries, that’s irrelevant to this issue. Even when the battery is replaced the issue persists because it’s a software issue.

While this is subjective, IMHO there’s no way 2024 was the first influencer election. It was definitely 2020 and that was turbocharged by COVID.

FYI !m is also Google Maps.

I love DDG, but if you want non-AI results, just use a different search, like !s (startpage, which uses Google)

No Gemini (Google’s AI) results.

K…I started my original comment with, “While I don’t agree with it’s findings,” and was responding to a comment asking for elaboration on the safety risks. I was just providing context, not stating the report was gospel-truth or anything.

What was the debunked? That a report exists?

While I don’t agree with it’s findings, there is a 388-page report this decision is based on.

Puberty blockers to be banned indefinitely for under-18s with gender dysphoria across UK

I fixed the title. Of course, they’re still available for other medical conditions, they’re just singling out gender dysphoria.

I think “entire” is too strong a word.

Yes, you need charging, maintenance, supply chain, etc. but in very limited quantities at first. Usually, pilots are started with a limited number vehicles, staff, routes, and infrastructure. Similarly old vehicles are often phased out with as the depots, maintenance facilities, etc. are converted to support the new vehicles.

This is not only economically and environmentally efficient, but also operationally efficient. If you simply switch from one technology to another over a short period of time, you’re opening yourself to minor issues causing major havoc.

Nope. FTA:

Employees were offered the same pay for 32 hours as they had received for a 40-hour work week.

It was part of their contract negotiation, and they took reduced hours in lieu of a pay increase.

most employees say the shortened week has also improved their work-life balance.

This is worded funny, implying there are some who said less hours did not improve work life balance. I can’t really figure that.

FTA:

Most notably, at the one-year mark, 84% of all employees “somewhat” or “strongly” agree that the 32-hour work week has improved their work/life balance.

One reason I can see why someone wouldn’t agree with this statement is because an employee already has a great work/life balance, so while an extra 8 hours (plus commute) of free time is nice, it may not improve their work/life balance.

Also, there are exempt employees who may be negatively impacted by the initiative:

Another concern raised by the report is the fact that exempt employees are having to work more than 32 hours per week. These are salaried employees, not eligible for overtime pay.

…

31% of exempt employees, mostly managers and directors, responded that the initiative has had a negative impact on their workload. Nonetheless, 67% of exempt employee respondents agree that the initiative has improved their work/life balance.

If you’re new, IMHO you should be looking at the distro as a whole, not the DE specifically. Yeah, if you find one you mostly like but want to try other similar distros, it’s probably a good thing to stay with the same DE. However, it’s not something to get hung up on as distros often tweak the DE.

And to answer your question, Cinnamon. After years of distro-hopping, I’ve spent most of the past decade on Linux Mint.

That isn’t a critique of the justice system, that’s a critique of capitalism.

In Google Maps: Settings -> Navigation -> Guidance volume

Could kill me, yes. Easily? No. I would likely roll-over a car with it’s low hood, but a truck with it’s high, upright grill is likely to knock me down and then run over/drag me. It’s a similar situation with a motorcycle.
