Summary

Denmark consistently ranks among the top countries for work-life balance due to a culture of trust, flexible work policies, and generous benefits.

Only 1.1% of Danes work 50+ hours weekly, far below the global average. Workers enjoy five weeks of paid vacation, six months of parental leave, and a welfare safety net.

Danish workplaces emphasize autonomy and democratic leadership, fostering employee empowerment and satisfaction.

Experts contrast this with the U.S., where individual achievement and ambition drive tremendous innovation but often disrupt work-life balance.

U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Beaton appeared skeptical of approving a police reform agreement between Louisville Metro and the Department of Justice during a hearing Monday.

The city and DOJ signed a proposed consent decree last month. The decree lays out hundreds of changes to policies and training that the Louisville Metro Police Department would have to undertake in the coming years. The agency’s progress would be overseen by Beaton, as well as an independent monitor.

In a lengthy hearing, the attorneys representing the DOJ argued the consent decree is necessary to address the pattern of unconstitutional and discriminatory policing practices outlined in a scathing report released two years ago. The DOJ found racial disparities in how LMPD officers enforced the law, as well as routine use of excessive force against residents.

Beaton, however, repeatedly asked whether some sort of other “less intrusive” arrangement could also get LMPD to comply with federal law.

NATO members face an "impossible task" trying to protect their vast network of critical undersea cables and pipelines from sabotage, the head of the alliance's centre for securing the infrastructure said Thursday.

Nations around the Baltic Sea are scrambling to bolster their defences after the suspected sabotage of undersea cables in recent months.

After several telecom and power cables were severed, experts and politicians accused Russia of orchestrating a hybrid war against the West as the two sides square off over Ukraine.

NATO this week announced it was launching a new monitoring mission in the Baltic Sea involving patrol ships and aircraft, aimed at deterring any attempts to target undersea infrastructure in the region.

Danish Navy Captain Niels Markussen, director of NATO's Maritime Centre for Security of Critical Undersea Infrastructure warned that it was not possible to stop every act of sabotage.

"You can't put a ship over every nautical mile of pipeline or cable -- it's an impossible task," Markussen told AFP.

"There are approximately 50,000 big ships out there worldwide and they can drop anchors and drag them over infrastructure."

Markussen said that while the Baltic mission would not be able to stop all incidents it "will bring much more focus on it, monitoring, and a better picture of what and who is operating out there."

"It will have a deterrence."

Protecting underwater infrastructure has often been seen as the job of the private firms operating it, or individual countries. But Markussen said NATO members were rapidly ramping up coordination and cooperation to try to protect their vital energy and communication links.

NATO countries are also increasingly turning to technology including artificial intelligence and underwater drones to try to tackle the threat, he said.

One first issue however has been to get a clear sense of where exactly NATO members' undersea infrastructure lies: countries and companies have often been reluctant to share the location of strategic assets.

"We need to understand the total system of our infrastructure -- what is out there and what it's doing," Markussen said.

If you want to hang out or use the restroom at Starbucks, you’re going to have to buy something.

Starbucks on Monday said it was reversing a policy that invited everyone into its stores. A new code of conduct – which will be posted in all company-owned North American stores – also bans discrimination or harassment, consumption of outside alcohol, smoking, vaping, drug use and panhandling.

Starbucks spokesperson Jaci Anderson said the new rules are designed to help prioritize paying customers. Anderson said most other retailers already have similar rules.

As the title says.
pacman -Q lists only name and version;
pacman -Qi does have a "Packager" field, but i think it's not the same thing;
pacman -Qs seems to be what i want (if local means "all installed packages atm") but it's all prefixed by local/ instead of repo name like mingw32/ which is what i want.

I'm using MSYS2 in windows.

This might sound wild or controversial, but has anyone thought about using the bluesky app and adapt it to work with the mastodon API? By this way making it easier for more people?
