I don't know, you may need to ask someone at Facebook.

However, most people who want this kind of feature hope to use it to violate the privacy of others, I think. Which is imo a good reason against such a feature. Another reason against it is that a significant portion of people are not logged in, so the data would be wrong anyway.

Porting Wayland compatibility to GTK 2 would be incredibly out of scope for GIMP developers. :)

GTK is a UI toolkit, i.e. a piece of software that draws uniform-looking buttons and scrollbars and the like.

GTK used to stand for "GIMP toolkit" but GTK and GIMP development are now entirely separate, so much so, in fact, that 13 years after the release of GTK 3 and 3 years after the release of GTK 4, GIMP still hasn't upgraded to either.

Actually, part of the reason that American cheese cannot be called "cheese" even in the US is that it's not just cheese + sodium citrate anymore. For cost reasons, it's now cheese + butter + skim milk powder + sodium citrate.

I hate it when when my local /dev/shm gets smelly.

With these types of Captchas, I always wonder whether I need to click on e.g. square C2 that has a tiny bit of the seat padding on it.

I guess it's an appropriate name if the file collects the URLs of sites that trick you into installing malware.

.db is usually short for "database". I'd suspect this file is part of an anti-virus tool or similar. ~~Where did you find the file?~~ Edit: phishingurl indicates that it's part of some URL checking functionality of a browser. Not sure which browser puts that straight into .local/share though. Might be a KDE thing.

Edit 2: Qkall's answer says it's KMail.

Wikipedia is probably a reasonably good starting point to learn. Just start at your own country's page, read the Politics section and click through to the pages for the national parliament, the government, the regions, etc.

News, as the name implies, often has a relatively short half life. Thus it's not a good starting point for learning. Ground News I only know from Youtube ads and I guess using that is better than, say, starting a Fox News diet. Actually, in general, keep away from (American) TV news and find more in-depth coverage elsewhere that includes a bit more context and nuance.

Also be aware that a lot of what looks like news at first may actually be opinion content and thus does not have to be entirely true.

Is not up to SUSE's marketing department, most of which is from the US, either. The company has a German origin, had German founders (they're all out of the company at this point though), and the company name used to be a German acronym. The correct pronunciation is the German one.

(See the update @barbara added. Lisa Sherwell actually took the effort to learn the correct pronunciation. Part of the reason why is that she was actually involved in planning the new German office of SUSE.)

That depends but many people will be familiar with the absolute basics of English pronunciation and likely recognize the word as English too, I think.
