Do you have an example of eff fighting for censorship?

Differrnt people repeating the same thing over and over without addressing or acknowledging arguments from the other side still results in a ddos.

I am not a fan of conspiracy theories but https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2021/10/25/john_gil... seemed interesting.

I also remember him defending stallman so maybe this played a role?

I am not really a fan of transparency and other effects.

How can I load css as a user?

As for the solution, why not remove shadows for non-composing wms?

Yeah, it is still very early on in development. I am personally a fan of QtCreator, it is very similar to how visual studio used to work regarding ui creation.

GtkMenu, GtkMenuBar, and GtkMenuItem are gone so you have to use GtkPopover* instead which has this issue.

I would love to not use adwaita except gtk4 has crippled the ability for users to theme their apps, especially when libadwaita is used. Also gtk3 does not have this issue even with adwaita.

Try writing the name of the widget in the search bar in the top left. Something like GtkWindow.

GTK4 has a LOT of regressions. They decided to remove menus, which is fine, except their replacement is broken https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/3042

As for font rendering, it is kinda broken in gtk3 too. I recently switched to roboto condensed and while qt applications look fine the spacing between letters in gtk3 apps is totally broken.

The theorems predate Turing's theorem. As for the halting problem, it is solvable with an oracle, unlike the incompleteness theorems.

More like someone telling people who their dealer is, except the dealers give away copies of books for free, some legal but most illegal.

You are probably thinking of Gödel's incompleteness theorems. I do not think that you can trivially derive it from the halting problem.

I did download an Ubuntu ISO from there more than a decade ago, and some films that I presume were in the public domain due to their age.

The US took down kickasstorrents and arrested its founder in Poland despite them following the DMCA. You have to suck up the media companies to be allowed to host a service these days.
