+1 for Summit!

It has been the best clean user experience for me so far

Guess I’m going against the grain here, but in my experiences, no not really.

At least here in Aus I’ve never noticed any correlation between animal friendliness and religion. My family for example is very religious (I’m not), and quite conservative (I’m definitely not lol), but they care for animals better than they care for other people.

What I have noticed is more fear from other cultures. For example, I have an Indian neighbour who never grew up around dogs, especially big dogs. When I first picked up my German Shepherd as an 8 week old pup, they were scared shitless of him! Scared of a cute little fur ball, with paws too big for his body just flailing around bumping into things, literally one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen!

Not dismissing the question on religion being linked to animal friendliness, but maybe region and cultural factors are also playing a role here?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck that!

Business transactions. Think of small business that deal with cash, or paying contractors, etc.

There’s many reasons larger bills still exist, even just larger cash transactions like buying a second hand car gives a reason for larger bills to continue to exist.

The one that is in the post linked by OP is just a screenshot of a twitter post

Here’s an article on The Register. I haven’t read through all of this just yet, but this might give you a pretty decent picture:

This is what I can find on their website. Last updated April 22, 2026.

Seems like Russia is mostly blocked and China is fully blocked.

This guide lists different settings and methods to connect to Mullvad VPN from networks and countries where connecting to a VPN is difficult. This includes countries such as China, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates and Uzbekistan.

But Russia, China, and Iran are listed here. So maybe works? I’m confused

And the Fediverse doesn’t have all of those already?

These are inescapable in the modern age internet unfortunately, however the decentralisation of the Fediverse should help in alleviating those symptoms of an open platform.

More users provides more diversity - More diversity provides the potential for more niche interests to arise - More active niche communities provides more reasons for existing users to stay - More active users staying on the platform inevitably attracts more new users.

More users to accommodate more active niche communities

Standoffs is what I know them as

EDIT: No idea where you are located, but here’s an Aus store with some standoff screws. Hope that helps

EDITEDIT: The link lol - https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/standoffs-screws

I think so personally, because it’s still engagement and I’m assuming it probably contributes to the MAU number which could in turn attract more users

Oh cool, learnt something new! Thanks

Does Summit have the behaviour OP is looking for?

I can’t seem to swipe between posts on Summit, unless I’m missing something?

A password manager?

HDR is in, has been in KDE and Gnome for a while now.

Fair enough on TrackPad scroll speed.

Other than that though, what other features do you believe Gnome is missing?

Uhh, data visualisations??

In my early 20’s (like 21-22) I worked in a work environment that is notoriously big for everyone giving each other shit at work (trades and labouring).

One thing I picked up on very fast was that you had to set those limits on how much crap you can take as a joke. It also made it really easy to know when an actual fight was about to break out because both parties would step over those lines immediately haha.

Anyway, I’ve done this at every job since and personally I’ve never had an issue with workplace bullying or anything. I swear the workplace is just the schoolyard for adults lol

Depends on the cert and the environment you are already in.

For example, I’m an IT Consultant, we kind of rely on ‘professional certs’ to get work at client projects, especially if a project is covering specific niches and we have consultants that have certifications within those niches.

Also, many of the more mainline certs can definitely be worth getting (especially in the early career stages), as a quick example some of the CompTIA certs like Networking+ (a colleague got his job with us solely with that cert btw)

Am I reading the correct bit?

Chapter 24, section 5 - Eavesdropping

A person who unlawfully listens to or records with a technical device

1. a discussion, talk or other sounds of private life, where these are not intended for his or her knowledge and which occur or arise in a place covered by the right to domestic privacy, or
2. secretly, elsewhere than in a place covered by the right to domestic privacy, talk that is not intended for his or her knowledge or for the knowledge of any other third parties, where the circumstances are such that the speaker has no reason to believe that a third party is listening shall be sentenced for eavesdropping to a fine or to imprisonment for at most one year.

An attempt is punishable.

This to me seems like it reads against what you are saying no?

EDIT: And actually, isn’t this more about an unknown third party anyway?
