1. They have an experimental Wayland session already. It mostly works except for some pretty important stuff...I also haven't seen development on it for a long while.
2. I think this is almost a 100% no.
3. I tried to implement that myself. Making them shorter than the screen is easy. Making them appear above the edge of the screen is hard, but not impossible - the code is in JavaScript and the logic is kind of disjoint across multiple files and stuff depends on panels being at the edge of the screen - I didn't do it in the end because it was too much effort for something I didn't want that much.

They don't (I sure didn't know who I would vote for and why at 16) but that doesn't mean it needs to stay that way.

This could present an opportunity to have a few classes still in school explaining why voting matters and why making an informed choice is important immediately when it gets relevant.

I had lots of problems with the previous version when turning the TV off/on while it's running, like losing keyboard access (no focus) until you use the mouse at least once and it updating the display settings every time. Hope it's getting better now.

TBH the keyboard focus issue is happening on most Login Managers and DEs, so it's not really their fault. I will try it out some time, until then I keep using my SteamOS install.

Depending on your TV it might not be enough. I've set it up, but my TV decides my PC doesn't have CEC because it only starts responding after boot, not immediately.

Water UK basically said so in the article too

I tested chatgpt, it needed some nagging but it could do it. Needed the size, blank and white keywords.

Obviously a lot harder than it should be, but not impossible.

I just insert the Tragedy of systemd video as my usual response to these threads.

Reminds me of a background from Everlasting Summer: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/361484307594325233/

Sorry for the Pinterest link, couldn't find anything else on short notice.

Not really the easy way, but this is how you can make your wine application show up in Preferred Applications.

You probably don't have a .desktop file for you wine app. Go to /usr/share/application and find one entry that also shows up in your Preferred Applications->PDF list. Open that entry with a text editor: that's how your new entry should look like (I recommend looking at /usr/share/applications/xreader.desktop in particular). You must have the MimeType field for Preferred Applications

Create your new pdfxchange.desktop file and place it into ~/.local/share/applications so it will be picked up by the OS and it should show up in your Preferred Applications list.

The only thing you need to figure out yourself how to make pdfxchange open a file from the command line, you need to put that into the Exec= field.

For you it might be something like this: Exec=env WINEPREFIX="YOUR_PDFEXCHANGE_WINE_PREFIX" wine "YOUR_PDFEXCHANGE_WINE_PREFIX/drive_c/path/to/pdfxchange.exe" Z:%f

Try it in the terminal (without Exec=) until it works. %f is the file you want to open.

You can do that via the AUR, it's called cosmic-epoch-git if you have enough ram and time to build it

They didn't mention how it affected overweight/obesity rates, which is what they aimed to tackle. Every research I found had problems in its modelling or just straight up speculative.

Plus they are not actually using the extra income for related programmes instead they include it in the general budget, which is not nice...making it just a tax.

Although from a dental perspective there is no way it's not working.

Why are other countries are not struggling with obesity rates is what I would like to know even without a sugar tax.

I just hope they are not planning to introduce a salt tax, food is already bland as is.

I have the same issue on my laptop, except it's constant from the moment I log into Cinnamon. Other DEs are fine.

In the end I was too lazy to troubleshoot it, but maybe I'll try with the Wayland session. If that has the same issue, something's gone terribly wrong.
