Or you intend to dd an image onto it. Or you intend to turn the entire disk over to a VM and want to partition it from inside the VM. I think there might also be a (rare and esoteric) use case involving PostgreSQL.

Nothing wrong with catering to masochists.

A quick check of the article shows that they're talking about a minor Arch-diaspora distro with a confusing name, not the DE itself, and the only specific things they mention as being trimmed are not part of KDE proper.

If it is, in fact, legal, it's because there's a weasel clause in the clickwrap that says, in effect, "We can change this agreement in any way at any time. Not you, just us."

And how many years will it take before this reaches a usable state, when people need (not just want) it now?

Haven't read the book, but I presume that's why she left.

I would translate that as, "The people who fought harder to get into higher education value it more and actually want to learn, so they're more likely to do their own work. The ones who are just there because it was kind of expected of them don't care about learning and would be happy to just get handed the piece of paper."

It's kind of a shame that it's the 407 and not the 402 that's the toll road. Of course, even fewer people would get the joke there.

Standard procedure would be for the bill to go through several rewrites until the PM decides to do the Cabinet shuffle (the most boring dance in history) and the current Public Safety minister is moved to a different portfolio. Without a champion, the bill will then linger in committee until Parliament is prorogued (or dissolved for an election), which will then kill it. Or at least, that would be the ideal outcome at this point.

For example, Logseq has a fancy text field that can bring up a submenu if you type two left brackets. Something like this is pretty specific to Logseq (or at least certain notes apps) and this would be much harder to replicate in a native app.

Not something I would consider terribly hard to implement, but it would depend on the toolkit. A function for getting the text in a textbox and a callback to alert you to the fact that the user is typing is something I would expect to find in any modern GUI toolkit.

Although, to be fair, there are likely some costumers among Bambu's customers, since 3D printing cosplay props is definitely a Thing.

Pretty sure you can be charged with something if you do it on purpose and just leave it there. Littering, maybe.
