Anglo-Saxon? Lmao what a bizarre way to talk. Not that it even makes sense considering Anglo-Saxon settlers in the US weren't even close to being the majority.
It's down to unicode support. Not a plot from "Anglo-Saxons" to keep others in their place lol
There are already travel warnings issued for the US.
And unfortunately, the UK cannot go about starting international spats and trade wars with the US. That's a one way ticket to heavy recession and mass poverty.
The most we can realistically do is travel warnings and publishing stories like this.
EU now mandates minimum of 5 years after the device is no longer on sale, so most likely 7 years total. This was a law that came into place just 1 week ago.
If you're outside the EU it's possible you won't get that, but since the work is already done, you can likely count on it coming to other markets too.
I think this is a sane choice for now, but this really should be a warning shot to the likes of Valve (to be clear, Valve is great for Linux overall, and I'm extremely appreciative of that), that 32-bit needs to go, and Valve cannot expect every single distro out there to maintain 32-bit support forever just for them.
Sooner or later they're going to have to bundle a 32-to-64-bit translation layer, like they're already doing with Proton, and also with their x86-to-ARM stuff they're working on.
These maintainers are spending their own time and often money expecting nothing in return. If they don't want to continue supporting 32-bit, they are fully within their right to do so.
I understand the fear of having to move distro, but some of the hate I've seen levied towards the Fedora maintainers over this is really vile. They don't owe you a damn thing.
I don't think that's true in the slightest. A phone 2.1" smaller in diagonal length than my current one would be smaller than a Nokia 3310.
That's exactly my point.
Presumably you're paid for the work you do, and you shouldn't have to do it for free, yes?
I imagine you wouldn't be saying this if it was your work being used.
If you went through the painstaking effort or writing a book or something, I imagine you'd be pretty unhappy if nobody wanted to reimburse you, and you were called a cunt for wanting to be paid for your labour.
Considering they're an enterprise player, and so well-known, that actually seems surprisingly low to me, especially since that's revenue not profit.
Having heard about some of the difficulty in budgeting for a charity my friend works at that is also reliant on donations, this isn't surprising.
She said things would be managed more effectively if there were predictable payments coming in, even if they were taking in less money in total.
It appears Gnome, and probably others, are the same.
Trouble is, I too am a "I like donating to things in lump sums so my bank account is less cluttered" kinda guy.
Why is Polution per GDP a better measure?
They wanted a measure that makes China look better.
Like I just said, my current 6.3" display phone is almost identical in size to my old 4.2" one.
No they are not.
