So what color *is* Linux exactly? Is it black like Tux and the terminal? Purple like Debian? Blue like Arch? in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Unless you use GNOME. Then your options are grey or black.

It's a class that's allowed to access another class's private members. Obviously Linus doesn't have any, because he codes in C.

GIMP is the original GTK app. The first version of GTK was created specifically for GIMP, and it was initially named GIMP ToolKit.

Couldn't you just install Gnome now? Most distros have packages for Gnome and KDE, and there's usually nothing stopping you from installing them both.

Have you tried MATE System Monitor? It's a fork of the old GNOME System Monitor from GNOME 2.

The NFL doesn't need to drop the word "football" entirely, they just need to be more specific so there's no confusion. They could change their name to "Non-Soccer Football League", or NSFL for short.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is another one. It's a bridge most of the way but there's one section that's a tunnel.

A car-free stretch of highway in San Francisco leads to recall vote and warning to politicians (apnews.com)

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — During the coronavirus pandemic, the city closed a stretch of a four-lane highway along San Francisco’s Pacific Coast and made it an automobile-free sanctuary where bicyclists and walkers flocked to exercise and socialize under open skies and to the sound of crashing waves.

But with the post-pandemic return to school and work, resentment grew among neighborhood residents who relied on the artery to get around. Some blamed the district city supervisor who helped make the change permanent by placing on a citywide ballot a measure to turn the 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) stretch into a new park.

On Tuesday, district voters will decide whether to recall Supervisor Joel Engardio.

The recall of a local supervisor who represents one-tenth of a city of 800,000 might seem like minor politics. But the election highlights a San Francisco in flux and a still cranky, even emboldened electorate as leaders prepare to make tough decisions about the city’s future.

The recall election will be the city’s third in four years. It’s fueled by many of the same people who tossed out three liberal school board members in February 2022 followed by the ouster of politically progressive San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin in June of that year.

“This recall is really about the future of our city,” said Engardio in an interview with The Associated Press. “Do we want to be a city that just preserves itself in amber and goes back in time? Or do we want to be a city that innovates, thinks ahead, is forward-looking and welcomes new people?”
