When the Munich public transport introduced new trains around 20 years ago some of them had porn images stuck to the inside of legs of some of the benches. You can be sure that teenage boys find them.
The numbers quickly dwindled but it took the company years until they had them all removed.
I never learned how that happened. We suspected that someone might have sneakily applied them during production or before delivery, as the trains were brand-new.
I doubt they were “official” stickers 😉
My parents were big hippie environmentalists back in the '70s and they were always so proud of their son (me) for volunteering at the local recycling center every Saturday. Fortunately they never found out that I did it for the porn. I had like four or five copies of every porn magazine published in that decade.
Gitgui is pretty great too if you need a bit of interactivity. It’s bare bones and no bullshit but can still do like 90% of what all the other fancy tools can do.
Canonical could have done a lot better with the explanation message here. The idea is to push apps towards XDG compliance and the use of things like Portals.
That said, unlike Wayland, portals really aren’t there yet from a UX perspective, especially for an app that is heavy on file transfers.I prefer what Flathub does where it puts a nice green checker beside your app for XDG compliance - it’s an encouragement, but not an enforcement.
