Is there a way in KDE / Gnome to block the stupid windows key from fullscreen applications? i.e. as an application developer, not just unbinding it in your own configuration?

A weak backdoor cold front is pushing a low layer of cold wet air over the flanks of the Sierra Blanca massif.
This infrared monochrome image shows the advancing clouds moving from right to left.
Infrared makes the clear 'blue' sky look rather dark, and trees/vegetation are very bright in IR.

I see the "How One Bad Password Ended a 158-Year-Old Business" story has resurfaced (as a thinly-disguised SpecOps ad).
If a single non-MFA'd password is an existential threat to your entire enterprise ... maybe the problem isn't the intern.
And maybe the fix isn't a single vendor.
This is a very good article, with truth that needs to be broadcasted, and image that are so excellent. My preferred one is :
if you’ve just been picking up software you found lying around the place, [...] what you actually have is a parasocial relationship with free software
And some others:
There is no supply chain here because there is no supplier. Someone created the software artifact once upon a time, yes, but it was not supplied to you. It was made available to the world at large. You happened across this software that already existed and decided to use it, of your own free will.
And also:
Take your time and enjoy your hobby more, since that is what unpaid software maintenance is. Collaborate with other people only so much as it brings you joy.
And I think I will end up quoting the whole article, so just go read it, thank you so much

Actual headline: “Musk’s xAI to launch Macrohard, an AI software company”
Just about the only positive takeaway is to be grateful that Musk is too young to have been trying to be edgy during the days when Wang Laboratories was a $3 billion dollar tech company with more than 30,000 employees.

Just a note for the next time anyone schedules a conference in Texas:
It is now literally illegal for trans people to use the bathroom there.
Your trans friends and colleagues are going to be silently judging you for hosting events in a place it's illegal for them to exist when there's lots of other states to pick from.

YouTube removed a channel that was dedicated to posting AI-generated videos of women being shot in the head following 404 Media’s request for comment. The videos were clearly generated with Google’s new #AI video generator tool, #Veo , according to a #watermark included in the bottom right corner of the videos.
