6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since World Cup awarded: Guardian analysis indicates shocking figure over the past decade likely to be an underestimate

We've known about this since 2021.

As a point of comparison, Serbians were sent to the Hague for the crime of genocide over the killing of 7,000 Bosnians.

What are the repercussions of just ignoring the protests?

Without the threat of escalation this could have just been an email.

I use kvm switch and run into this issue.

I am currently on Fedora 41, Gnome. I’ve seen this issue when running Arch on the same hardware without kvm switch to the point that I disabled suspend.

The fix for me is Ctrl-Alt-F1. It simply brings display manager’s login screen. Gnome on Fedora 41 uses gdm.

The rationale here is simple: the display manager should be resetting screen to display login screen.

Except it's not nonsense. I've worked in development through both eras. You need to develop in an abstracted way because there are so many variations on hardware to deal with.

There is bloating for sure, and of course. A lot is because it's usually much better to use an existing library than reinvent the wheel. And the library needs to cover many other use cases than your own. I encountered this myself, where I used a Web library to work with releases on forgejo, had it working generally, but then saw there was a library for it. The boilerplate to make the library work was more than I did to just make the Web requests.

But that's mostly size. The bloat in terms of speed is mostly in the operating system I think and hardware abstraction. Not libraries by and large.

I'm also going to say legacy systems being papered over doesn't always make things slower. Where I work, I've worked on our legacy system for decades. But on the current product for probably the past 5-10. We still sell both. The legacy system is not the slower system.

You're making the fallacy of equating abstractions with inefficiency. Abstractions are indeed useful, and they make it possible to express higher level concepts easily. However, most of inefficiency we have in modern tech stacks doesn't come from the need for abstraction. It comes from the fact that these stacks evolved over many decades, and things were bolted on as the need arose. This is even a problem at a hardware level now queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=32…

The problem isn't that legacy systems are themselves inefficient, it's with the fact that things have been bolted on top of them now to do things that were never envisioned originally, to provide backwards compatibility, and so on. Take something like Windows as an example that can still run DOS programs from the 80s. The amount of layers you have in the stack is mind blowing.

I am overweight, on the BMI scale anyways.

But in an office setting, I'm rather normal sized. Put me in a line of 100 people, and I'm easily in the top 20 of not fat.

When I went to event in Europe and Asia, my God... I'm so fat. I was easily the fattest person at dinner, as I was ordering a meal and appetizers, then cleaning my plate.
