I agree with your reservation about Manjaro. However, you did get one thing wrong:

They pushed an update that caused steam to uninstall your desktop environment. Famously covered by linus tech tips…

That was Pop!_OS (unless it happened a second time??)

It's an automatic suspension and impounding. It will almost certainly be extended and other punishments will be handed down, but those repercussions hit immediately, no questions asked.

I mean, if that gets people in places if power to think about climate change, I'll take it!

While Google Maps may be incorrect, government data should be nearly perfect.

Also, you know you can suggest fixes in Google Maps, right?

Every time I hear, "just one more lane," this video starts playing in my head.

IMHO, he's always been "Left of Center (for an American)" or maybe neo-Liberal. I would never consider him a Progressive. Now, as we're seeing more progressive lawmakers and some progressive policies being spotlit, the Overton Window is expanding, and he's staying right where he's always been.

That's a pretty good answer. I knew Mozilla had bought it, and were operating it as an independent subsidiary. I didn't know they promised to open-source it over 7 years ago.

Has Mozilla done sometime to deserve this skepticism? They were founded on open-source and AFAIK have continued to support open-source. Mozilla is far from a perfect organization, but if this project was a success I think it would be out of character for them to keep it closed-source.

That's not the article's fault. I'm almost certain Ukraine is going to keep those numbers close to the chest for OPSEC.

That doesn't line up with my experience. Canada banned single-use bags in 2023, and I notice a lot less reusable bags discarded on the street than the single-use ones before the ban.
