oh I like this! I never knew it even existed (or those other frontends).

fraid I generated a tl;dr for this rather verbose article:
"Home directories are a mess because too many apps ignore XDG spec and dump dotfiles everywhere. The problem isn’t just legacy software—new apps do it too, often out of ignorance or laziness. Windows has similar issues with profile folders. Fixing it requires devs to actually follow standards, but many resist due to inertia or 'my way is better' thinking. Users should push back and demand proper XDG compliance to keep $HOME clean."
Police said their chief suspect is a big fat Gaul with blue & white striped trousers.
God the UK is desperate if getting a shitty company like this on the books is something to be celebrated.
Grammar's fine. Sentence structure in the third paragraph (the largest one) is a bit clumsy I guess. Maybe there's a quibble about semantics in "you may also consider fully reformatting your operating system" - you reformat a drive and reinstall an OS. But grammar all seems fine IMO. I am a native speaker, I've certainly seen worse from my fellow countrymen.
People should be able to learn Bangladesh in schools though, or Hindi or Punjabi or Polish or one of the many other widely spoken languages in the UK.
There are some places where you can take Urdu as a GCSE, but only if you already speak it at home. Nowhere AFAIK teaches it from scratch in the way French or German is taught.
I'm not saying every school should teach every possible language, I'm saying it should be an option for any school to offer if they choose and it should be considered just as valid and worthwhile as learning a European language.
It is very disappointing. You can't teach "faith" - that is, the conviction that believing something with no evidence is in any way commendable - and at the same time teach the importance of critical thinking.
And if you look at our political and social landscape, it's more important than ever that people learn how to evaluate ideas and arguments objectively.
TBH it's not even piracy. Piracy is raiding ships on the open seas and stealing their booty and selling the crew into slavery. Calling file sharing "piracy" is corporate misinformation that was somehow adopted by the general public.
I want to add my tuppence worth as well. Even if one day we have a justice system that can be 100.000% certain of guilt AND 100% certain that there is no chance of rehabilitation, I think we should still not have the death penalty, because I don't think spending the energy and time killing individuals in cold blood is a healthy way for a society to behave. This Rudakubana guy may be some kind of monster, but that doesn't mean that acting monstrously towards him is somehow acceptable.
If you'd have left it @caboose2006@lemm.ee, it would've become a mighty oak. You Westerners are weak. Who wouldn't want a mighty oak growing out their dick?
I'd say these books are important for anyone studying American literature - and probably essential for anyone studying American literature of the 20th Century.
They're not so important for Welsh pupils and don't need to be included in a general English literature syllabus for 15-year-olds in the UK. The reasoning outlined in the article for choosing not to include these sorts of works in the list of required and optional texts for this specific qualification is pretty convincing IMO and I completely support it.
No books are being banned from schools or anything like that. The article headline is I suspect just trying to get clicks from the anti-woke crowd.
