Other performance metrics include removing #protections for #EndangeredSpecies that have *recovered* & restoring “historic [racist] names” to #landmarks. On his first day back in office, #Trump stripped #NorthAmerica’s tallest mountain of its #Indigenous name, #Denali, & restored its previous title, Mount McKinley.

Queen Elizabeth II Portrait ~ Windsor Castle ~ Near London England
We visited Windsor Castle right after Queen Elizabeth II was buried. It was a much more moving experience that I expected. Seeing her at her peak in this classic portrait was very moving.
A classic iconic portrait of the much beloved queen of England.

Thank goodness for the “Window title is back” GNOME extension that that tells you which app/window you’re currently in.
What’s truly mind blowing is that you need an extension to provide what is arguably the most important landmark in design: the “where am I?” cue.

Every autumn when we head to North Carolina and Tennessee to see the leaves change, we stop by to visit this old schoolhouse in rural Tennessee. In my mind’s eye I can hear the children laughing and playing outside and the ring of the bell which still hangs in the tower.

For anyone following this thread, if you use #GNOME and want the name of the app you’re currently in to be shown to you, you can use the Just Perfection GNOME extension (thank goodness for extensions) to do so.
It makes absolutely no sense to me that there is no way to look at your screen and know which app you’re in in GNOME. The ‘you are here’ landmark is so foundational that you’d fail Interaction Design 101 were you to forget it.
@tbernard @verdre @fmuellner Hey Tobias, in that screenshot, what app are you in and how can you find out just by looking at the screen?
(I can’t help but think this is a huge step backwards in terms of usability. Multiple workspaces is a power feature. Knowing which app you’re in, especially when apps themselves don’t even tell you, is basic usability. I simply don’t understand the rationale behind this design choice.)

"The fire was declared under control at 7:22 am, around eight hours after the blaze started.
BFP-NCR Director Nahum B. Tarroza said the light materials inside the building, such as letters and parcels, contributed to the intensity of the fire."
