When you see that sign you must. When you see this sign you can:

Often it is preferable anyway, but there's a difference between informational signs (blue rectangle) and mandating signs (blue circle). Here in Norway we generally don't have mandatory bike & ped paths, just the voluntary ones.

These combinations are generally not a good fit for urban areas, there we should have bikeways with sidewalks:

(Generally new infrastructure in urban areas is being constructed as bikeways with sidewalks, and old shared bike/ped-ways are being upgraded to bikeways with sidewalks.)

Also plenty of countries aren't all that hung up on marriage. It is possible to have kids and government recognition without a marriage certificate.

Between that and the uutils-coreutils, Ubuntu 25.10 sounds like it'll be an interesting experience for users, especially those with accessibility and internationalisation needs.

Ah yes, traditional urban cores, historically entirely without any good food options, either delivered, on the go, or even sit-down at odd hours

Yep. The colour theory stuff in there makes MBTI and horoscopes look detailed and well-documented in comparison

The price stuff can change through taxation that makes new plastic more expensive than recycled plastic.

As we all know, taxation is super popular and has never been controversial, ever.

At the very least flaskepant has worked great for like a century here in Norway. Always kind of surprising when other countries don't have it.

One rather obvious reason is that society has a lot of greybeards in general. The baby boomer generation was named that for a reason, and people have been living longer on average. Lots of countries are struggling with the demographic effects. There's no reason to expect that tech or something even more specific like FOSS would be exempt.

Another aspect here is that FOSS is still kind of new in society. There's just more people who have had the chance to age into FOSS greybeards than when those greybeards were young. (And they were thus likely to a lesser degree blocked by entrenched greybeards when they were getting started.)

Where's the Orphan Crushing Machine community here anyway

They're stuck in a reboot loop, but not bricked. A factory reset works (but the problem may reappear on update).

Translating a comment by a Norwegian author:

as someone who once put in a lot of effort to excuse the far right etc when they maybe cross the line a little bit but probably don't really mean it so let's all calm down a bit, I've learned one thing:

the only reward you get for doing this is that they the next day bombastically step over that same line to show that they don't feel bound by your wimpy sense of decency

because the fight is against what they perceive as a wimpy, castrated centrist decency is one of the central driving forces in such groups

More people who have tried to explain away the nazi salute could probably stand to learn the same lesson ASAP. The only thing they're really communicating is that the rich & powerful can do what they want and the excusers will stay their loyal lapdogs.

You don't really need the bird flu in that mix, even. Pasteurization was a huge public health win.

What next, fridges are woke nanny state inventions and real red-blooded Americans store all their food in room temperature, especially their raw milk and meat?
