Not French here, but it’s a common tendency across many western countries. Public education means higher expenditure and some countries are choking with debt so they have to brutally cut funds (education and healthcare are the preferred target, with education being at the first place because consequences are not immediately visible). The problem is not the elites anyway, it’s the rest of people letting them do it and justifying it. If their children will become cheap workforce, their parents will be to blame too.

There are other countries following the same path, enforcing draconian punishment towards environmental activists (labelled by the press as “ecological terrorists”).

That’s strange, I made sure they are applied immediately and that they are persisted after every restart… uhm… looking into it further…

You can make it sticky by disabling the edge-to-edge option im settings but that’s not what you are asking. And you are right, the change has been introduced recently starting with version 1.5.3.

A proper way to solve this would be to add another option if edge-to-edge display is enabled, to make it not completely transparent but with just some alpha.

It was worth it. It must remain for the memory of the posterity.

It was very popular in the 80s and 90s, indeed. With the new millennium it became slightly less “trendy” in favour of other “foreign-sounding” names. Trust me, Italians really like loans from foreign languages, even for peoples’ given names. This often create a comic contrast with very Italian family names e.g. “Jennifer Fumagalli” or “Thomas Bongiovanni” which sound a little kitsch but it’s also adorable.

You don’t like a product? You don’t buy it for you or for your kids as long as you materially provide for them. The company which sells it goes bankrupt and that’s it. No need for prosecuting / banning by law the ideologies you don’t like. As simple as that. Otherwise you are implicitly admitting you are wrong.

let’s try a different one

I was wondering how much time would have passed before anything like this happened. The history of that part of Europe is so blood-soaked that one just has to scratch the surface a little bit to find ethnic cleansing crimes. Profiting of it for political propaganda is terrible, though.

The one about the “10-seconds rule” for sexual harassment generated a flood of ironic videos on TikTok and was in general received very badly by younger generations because the girl was “one of them” and they could relate. The other one is received with total indifference. Plus there’s another: the son of the president of the Senate has been accused of rape and his father publicly declared that she was on drug/she waited 40 days to “remember” and sue the complaint so she is unreliable. All in a very short amount of time. To me it’s a generational clash, unfortunately the younger don’t have right to vote (and if they do they don’t go voting) and the ones who rule are white/male chauvinists.

As an Italian, I feel truly ashamed. There is another case on the news in these days concerning the reduction of the sentence for a man who killed and torn to pieces his ex girlfriend due to “his being very affectionate but her being too libertine”. What has gone wrong with this country?

The decision has been taken by a college of judges of the court (which is even worse than a single person).

As an Italian, that was indeed a good one! 😅😅😅 Sad but true, maybe people think to solve the problem like that here.

Totally agree. It’s a tendency in all European countries: national healthcare is seen as public expenditure negatively affecting national balance, and private clinics are on the rise. Let’s hope, at least, that taxes will be cut as well, otherwise we’ll end up with a system that has the worst of the European model combined with the worst of the American one.

There have been several acquisitions in the meantime, that’s true, but remembering the past helps not to be fooled again.

How strange, who would have guessed it… The timing is far from “perfect” though, national elections were last year. Maybe in next year’s European elections some change will be visible.

Maybe he feels like some of those ancient Pharaohs who had the architects building their pyramids killed afterwards in order not to reveal anyone the inner secret passages.
