We have an increasing number of questions from our Linux community about using Wayland. Our take is that Wayland remains an experimental, evolving idea. It is still missing basic functionality that KiCad users have come to expect. We hope that it continues to improve. But for now, if you need to use KiCad on Linux, we recommend installing X11.

KiCad and Wayland Support

The KiCad development team frequently receives questions about our support for Wayland. Given that Fedora and Ubuntu are both planning to drop X11 support from their main desktop environments in the near future, we want to provide clear, transparent guidance to our users about the current state of Wayland support in KiCad. Current Status Is Functional but Degraded KiCad does run on Wayland systems, but with significant limitations and known issues that substantially degrade the user experience.

When the birthday parade list reads like a cautionary guide to history.

Über eine Milliarde Euro an Dividenden hat Vonovia für das Jahr 2024 an seine Aktionär:innen ausgeschüttet. Umgerechnet auf den Wohnungsbestand des Großkonzerns bedeutet das: 155€ pro Monat zahlten Vonovia-Mieter:innen mit ihrer Miete in die Taschen der Aktionäre.

Das ist ein untragbarer Zustand. Wohnungen gehören nicht an die Börse. Vonovia muss vergesellschaftet und die Bestände in kommunales Eigentum überführt werden.

Edit: Das Geld ist zusammen gekommen. Spenden werden natürlich auch weiterhin gerne angenommen (die arbeiten gehen ja auch weiterhin an der Software ;)

Google hat Android 16 in AOSP veröffentlicht – jedoch ohne Quellcode für aktuelle Pixel-Geräte. Ohne Device Trees lässt sich AOSP nicht wie gewohnt auf Pixel-Geräten bauen. Das trifft die gesamte Custom-ROM-Community. Alles deutet darauf hin, dass das kein Versehen ist, sondern eine bewusste Einschränkung von Google – eine klare Schwächung der Offenheit von Android.

Kung Fury! Hur kan jag ha ha missat denna pärla?

https://www.svtplay.se/kung-fury

Kung Fury

Året är 1987, arkadspelen har blivit så avancerade att de utvecklat ett medvetande med noll respekt för varelser med endast ett liv. Kaos och kriminalitet råder. Superpolisen och kung fu-mästaren Kung Fury får sitt livs tuffaste uppdrag: han skickas tillbaka i tiden och ställs mot sin ärkefiende - Hitler, även känd som Kung Führer. Regi: David Sandberg. I rollerna: David Sandberg, Jorma Taccone, Andreas Cahling, Helene Ahlson, Björn Gustafsson, Magnus Betnér m.fl.

Im Steuergelder verballern scheint Jens Spahn besonders gut zu sein: 3,1 Mrd. € hat er während seiner Zeit als Gesundheitsminister rausgehauen – völlig sinnlos sagt jetzt der Bundesrechungshof. Wir leaken den Bericht und starten ganz offiziell in die Jens-Spahn-Mottowoche: https://fragdenstaat.de/artikel/spahn-brh/
Bundesrechnungshof: Spahn verpulvert Milliarden

Planlos, unwirtschaftlich, ohne nachhaltige Wirkung: Der Bundesrechnungshof kritisiert Spahns Gesundheitspolitik massiv. Wir veröffentlichen den Bericht.

@georgetakei You can count on Trump to place below Turkmenistan.
@Steve @georgetakei That guy is our best case scenario. Just a lot of renaming things after himself
@georgetakei Not even Putin did it? That's both surprising and tells a lot at the same time.
@rhonda Absolutely.

@georgetakei @rhonda

#Putin, I think, is too shrewd for such public self-indulgence.

@georgetakei

And Trump's birthday parade was the most low-energy...

@rgulick You can say that again.

@georgetakei Well, Germany at least also got a national holiday out of it.

@georgetakei
Kinda says it all don't it...?
@georgetakei He's going to rename Palm beach, Florida to Trumpengrad next.
@georgetakei But the UK's Monarchs also do that. Oh, right, as you were.

@georgetakei This, in Trump's "brain," means that he's "winning."

He's one up on Orbán.

@georgetakei what about the Queen?
@georgetakei Senator Padilla for President! Clearly he is an American that has walked in our shoes. Felt out struggle and has compassion. A person of great judgement and knowledge.
@georgetakei he spelled dictators wrong!
@georgetakei Reminds me of those other lists like countries that haven't signed many international agreements and those countries that still have the death penalty.

@grinningcat @georgetakei i think stalin held nazi victory parades on may ninth, a tradition they’ve kept up with until now

@georgetakei

THis is the list of the most insecure men that ever walked t he Earth.

@georgetakei King a l'orange does keep strange company
@georgetakei
Sure, Trump held a military parade to celebrate his birthday, but that doesn't make it fair to compare him to dictators because OMG OBAMA WORE A TAN SUIT! WHY AREN'T YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT INSTEAD? YOU'RE JUST BRINGING UP THE DICTATOR THING TO DISTRACT US ALL FROM THE TAN SUIT!
@tofugolem @georgetakei I remember visiting my mom years ago, and CNN was on the TV, and they were talking about the suit, comparing it to suits worn by warlords as if the President was wearing a smoking gun, and the host finished his bizarre puff piece with a remark about 44's name rhyming with "Osama," which I didn't realize was an actual crime until that moment in 2014.

@georgetakei Gad. I tried to research if this is actually a complete list or if it's selected to show just dictators. Could not find a definitive answer and got tricked into an LLM pit looking for one.

I assume it's probably complete. The LLM's bullshit is pretty much as I assume the facts are. Site is called "factually". Must be true.

What I know IS true is that Trump wants to be like these guys, not some democratic leader that's celebrated who may or may not have ever existed.

@georgetakei Kudos for listing me first, comrade. I’m not the first to have a cult of personality, but they refer to me most when talking about a cult.
Hey @georgetakei, please speak with your social media people! We had them trained on Alt-Text but apparently you've hired some new staff that hasn't gotten the message yet!

@georgetakei Vladimir Lenin (and all russian Presidents) ?
Benito Mussolini (The Duce) ?
Erich Honecker (GDR/DDR) ?
Marcos Regime ( Spain) ?

👍

@georgetakei Technically the Queen/King of England also has a parade for their birthday
@Beelbeebub @georgetakei so that is entirely consistent.

@georgetakei

Didn't the Queen of England, on her official birthday - since she had two each year - also have a military parade?

@georgetakei

IMHO, Trump is doing more damage to democracy and capitalism than Stalin did to socialism and communism

@georgetakei to be fair that's AI. It may very well be wrong on those things. Maybe a guy named Ferdinand Marcos, entirely unrelated to *the* Marcos, threw a birthday party culminating in a parade.
also, this argument isn't very good. 'world leaders who had moustaches' gets you stalin, hitler, pinochet, hussein, mussolini, Leopold II of Belgium [Congo Free State atrocities] and many more. So does Brazil's leader Lula. Should we be skeptical of him?
It's a similar argument structurally.
@georgetakei didn‘t the British have a parade for the queen and likely continue having one for the king? 😉
@georgetakei You can tell the character of a man by the company he aspires to keep. Republicans are pack animals. They NEED an alpha to follow. Ignoring that this alpha has never fended off a single direct challenge, he instead throws his followers in front of himself, and declares victory. May he learn the lesson of Zapp Brannigan.
@georgetakei They forgot Juan Peron in Argentina

@georgetakei

I mean he practically worships all of those men, so is anyone surprised?

@georgetakei He doesn't respect the troops. How can he? He made fun of John McCain for being a POW.
