  • the rules for the 100% shouldn’t be made because 10% can’t self regulate.

    Unfortunately that’s hard to avoid, because those 10% will disturb lessons and take up the teacher’s attention, thereby negatively affecting the other students.

    Are the teachers supposed to do extra work to ensure no teen had a cell phone?

    It’s way easier for a teacher to take away a phone that disturbs a lesson when there are not supposed to be phones in the first place, than have to argue about exceptions and limits to the rules every time.

    I agree and sympathise with your overall philosophy, but I’m also conscious of the practical limits, unfortunately.




  • Yeah, that’s fair enough. It’s not just working overtime though - endless toil on never-ending projects, especially when at a certain point, you’re not really making visible progress but rather are just working on a seemingly endless list of bugs and papercuts, is also terrible for motivation. The good news, of course, is that the Pop!_OS GNOME extension also got delivered, which, though a lot smaller than COSMIC DE, I’m sure also wasn’t a small undertaking.


  • Yeah I mean, that’s the thing with marijuana legislation in the Netherlands in general - it’s not legal in the first place. It would, of course, be preferable if it was actually legal (and this might very well be a step on the road to get there), but yes, in practical terms, there’s not too much impact - whereas this plan addresses an actual problem, i.e. criminality involved with the drug supply of coffee shops.

    I mean, I don’t really mind - I’m pretty happy with GNOME. All I’m saying is that if I were the project manager, I’d worry about delivering something and not burning people out (“focus is choosing what not to do” and all that, and the last 20% of the work taking 80% of the time). But in the end I’m just a random person ranting on the internet, of course - I do actually hope that I’m wrong.

    But a diff viewer in the text editor… It just sounds like folks are eager to jump on shiny new things rather than finishing something, from the outside 🤷 Looking forward to be proven wrong!
