There is one tourist trap I have seen often, and that is thinking one needs to do a certain list of things to see everything in your one visit of the place.

Check the lists of tourist traps, see what interests you and fill your day there with whatever excites you.

The only anectotal experience I have with Matrix and with XMPP, there is always some message that does not immediately arrive at the recipient on mobile. Signal works just as reliable as WhatsApp in that regards.

Although this rant complains a lot, the programmers in the bug report acknowledge that they like this fixed, but also explain that there is architectural debt in the code that makes it hard to implement. Being a user in Gnome, I have to say would be nice if it is there, but this will not break my whole experience.

Also Stockholm in summer is empty. People leave the town and go on holiday, retract to the country side.

I also don't understand when he says there is/was no social distancing. That is totally not my experience here, a lot of people were working from home and commuter trains were quite empty.

I agree, coops are the way to go with housing. They can be supported by the state in terms of low cost land rental or tax benefits. I am always wondering why not more businesses are structured around coops and the state is not pushing this more.

Thanks. Sad that it is retracted the silent way, seems to just fuel more conspiracy theorists.

I stumbled across the book and was surprised to see a peer-reviewed book with this opinion. Seems it is retracted now, although without any clear comment on the page.

Does anybody know more how this happened?

I never understood this complains? The main use cases work, I have almost never found a Linux user that was unhappy with Wayland. Once a while a power user, but that one is smart enough to install X if he needs a special functionality.

I never had a problem, and if you upgrade the next time, check the hardware compatibility and buy what you need. Till then, just run a X stack.

Be aware that the UK is currently planning to leave the European Union, where a lot of high quality funding for projects is coming from. The next few years are a little bit unclear in that regard.

Having used only one monitor for every and only recently bought a second one, I feel different. It's not about two equal monitors, but one for all the stuff that is static. A paper to be read, a formular to be used or just the notes that were taken before and are now used for implementation.

It does support GPL, at least in the tech "bubble". I agree with movie copyrights, but not longer than 10 years and perhaps 25 for music/texts.

The industry has lobbied so hard that the good will of the younger generation is gone. (It gets better now with Netflix and offers like this). But I don't feel that somebody broke the law when he downloaded music/videos and I am part of this younger generation that grew up like this.
