It's an alternative shell for Plasma, so theoretically you should be able to do anything in it that you can do in Plasma.

On my Arch box it installed a minimal set of Plasma utilities to support it, which means my setup is still very limited (and I can't turn off screen lock!), but I haven't tried if it would change if offered a full Plasma install.

I can most certainly launch Steam, Kodi, Jellyfin etc.

It's not replaceable? That's disappointing. I expected better of controller manufacturers since they're not space constrained.

This has been happening to me in embeds for ages, and I am logged in. It doesn't even give any option to sign in or watch on YouTube, I just don't get to watch embeds anymore.

Nobody worth talking to takes Sky News seriously.

Several members of parliament do, but I digress.

The reality is not better, but the "fauna" thing is a common myth

Ah, apologies, I use the word "app" much more liberally.

No, I don't believe there would be a mobile release for Digikam and I'm not aware of similar software for mobile operating systems.

Digikam

  • Fully local
  • Search by location and place on map based on exif data
  • Search by person (local facial recognition)

No search by "thing" without manually tagging though

Uno changes the rules every few years so that people have different ideas of which "house rules" are canon. Being "the game that people argue over" keeps it in the public consciousness much better than "that game that's kind of fun to play two rounds of occasionally"

From a quick search, "sleep as android" seems to have support for both, although people have varying success with it

If you're comfortable with a bit of setup, there are open hardware options on the market. They're reasonably basic compared to a flagship but phone notifications, some health metrics and telling the time are all quite possible.

If you want to basically make it from scratch there's also the Yatchy

 

Furness recommended the Nacc revisit the controversial decision, which had already been the subject of 900 complaints when she promised in June to inquire into the matter.

Following the inspector’s recommendation, the Nacc will now appoint an “independent eminent person” to deliberate afresh on a possible corruption investigation into robodebt.

 

They found a 110 year old thylacine head in a bucket of ethanol in the back of a cupboard in a museum with RNA intact.

 

The National Anti-Corruption Commission Inspector has announced she has launched a formal investigation into the regulator’s refusal to investigate six public officials referred by the Royal Commission into Robodebt.

For anyone missing the significance, the Inspector announced "looking into" complaints about the NACC decision months ago, but this is the first time the word "investigation" has been used.

The distinction is important because once a formal “investigation” is commenced the NACC Inspector has additional powers, including the power to obtain documents.

Original title: "GUESS WHO? The $600,000 question at the heart of Robodebt"

 

former Queensland secretary Michael Ravbar – who’s been dismissed together with almost all other officials – said he would launch a challenge against the legislation passed last week to put the union into administration.

 

The decision by the National Anti-Corruption Commission not to investigate the six public servants over the Robodebt scandal appears to have been “infected by the bias of Commissioner Justice Paul Brereton and, if so, should now be disregarded”, says Stephen Charles AO KC, a former judge at the Victorian Court of Appeal and a former board member of the Centre of Public Integrity.
