The song Crying At The Discotheque would usually want a video recorded in - you guessed it - a disco or club, but I have been thinking so much recently about all my musician and crew friends who can't work at the moment, I thought a video where I film in as many empty London venues as possible would highlight all that's on hold at the moment.
I worked again with my favourite team for my videos, Sophie Muller, Robbie Ryan and Lisa Laudat, and we did all 7 venues in one day. It was strangely moving performing in those places to no crowd when I'd sang in them previously so full of life. I hope it brings home the gap in our culture at the moment.
Lyrics: Downtown's been caught by the hysteria The people scream and shout A generation's on the move When disco spreads like a bacteria The lonely days are out Behold the passion of the groove
The golden years, the silver tears You wore a tie like Richard Gere I wanna get down, you spin me around I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discotheque Crying at the discotheque
I saw you crying I saw you crying at the discotheque I saw you crying I saw you crying at the discotheque
Tonight's the night at the danceteria The joining of the tribe The speakers pumping clear and loud And the way you move is our criteria Let the DJ takes you high And tears of joy baptize the crowd
The golden years, the silver tears You wore a tie like Richard Gere I wanna get down, you spin me around I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discotheque Crying at the discotheque
I saw you crying I saw you crying at the discotheque I saw you crying I saw you crying at the discotheque
The golden years, the silver tears You wore a tie like Richard Gere I wanna get down, you spin me around I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discotheque Crying at the discotheque Crying at the discotheque The discotheque, the discotheque Crying at the discotheque Crying at the discotheque

I really don't get how this panic scheme works. If Iran had a nuke, they'd only know it worked with a test that any nation on earth could detect. Wouldn't they still have quite a bit of developing to do to get a way to deploy it? During which time the capability could be 'removed' then, when there was actually a need? These explosion of these gadgets aren't hard to detect.

So for Friday night, myself and my friends got rather board. And as the resident "Things collector" i got 2 Maxtor touch sense 2 external hardrives. However those who were alive in 2000's know Maxtor went bankrupt and haven't made hardrives for a very long time. One of these drive i got BRAND NEW, in box at a flea market. sadly time got to the platters first, i spent a few hours trying to reformat or partition them and all i got was write errors. I tried different utility's with no avail and decided to cut my losses, so i asked the boys what we should do with them? Immediately my friend had an idea, to bring out his 9mm and see how a hardrive would fair! We all took turns and they were pretty hard to hit (we made the mistake of drink soda before hand). We eventually landed some shots on the center of the drives and MAN it actually stopped 2 bullets!!! going into this we all expected the disk to be unreadable after the fact, but didnt think the hardrives would stop a 9mm bullet!!
We then took the hdd's apart after are volley of bullets, and alot of the chips were damaged and all the platters were bent. But when we took off the top case, it looked so freakin cool i had to keep it

I'm kinda not surprised it stopped the 9mm. It's not the most powerful round. Also, several platters is basically like spaced armor, which is more bullet resistant than the same total thickness in one chunk. Ever shot a gun before this?
Here’s a great hack sent in to us from [Simon]. He uses an e-paper photo frame as a weather map!
By now you are probably aware of e-paper technology, which is very low power tech for displaying images. E-paper only uses energy when it changes its display, it doesn’t draw power to maintain a picture it has already rendered. The particular e-paper used in this example is fairly large (as e-paper goes) and supports color (not just black and white) which is why it’s expensive. For about US$100 you can get a 5.7″ 7-color EPD display with 600 x 448 pixels.
Beyond the Inky Frame 5.7″ hardware this particular hack is mostly a software job. The first program, written in python, collects weather data from the UK Met Office. Once that image data is available a BASH script is run to process the image files with imagemagick. Finally a Micro Python script runs on the Pico to download the correct file based on the setting of the real-time clock, and update the e-paper display with the weather map.
That's super cool. I see a lot of potential for e-ink displays that is just starting to take off. Billboards, airport info boards, programmable qr codes. It's so much nicer to look at a display that isn't backlit and they just sip power. This is a perfect application for one.
It just goes to show you. The only way to get the Linux desktop market share up is not building. Something better than Windows we have been there for a while. It's make hardware, put Linux on that hardware and sell it in a store. Avg people don't change operating systems. They change computers. Now if we could just get steam decks in retail stores. It would be a huge.
my country has had a law forcing manufacturers to provide alternatives to windows. many computers come with linux here, and we have a weirdly high market share for linux because of it.
Ah that makes sense i know Brazil has laws to keep imports low. That's why Brazil kept the saga mega drive active for so long. So having Linux on machines makes sense. Since it's both an import and not an import at the same time.
thats not really the reason brazil does this. our restrictions on imports come because our ruling class makes pretty much nothing and rely on having a cornered retail market they can profit off of. just capitalism things, kind of unique but nothing really new.
back then, the argument was about "venda casada" (no idea how to translate this). its when you buy something and you are forced to buy something else on their terms to make it work. they ruled that manufacturers can't force you to buy a windows license from them when you are already paying for a computer from them.
instead of selling it without an os, many of them offered linux as an option and passed the savings on to the customer, not unlike some manufacturers are doing in the us nowadays. most people got it with the intention of reformatting the machines with pirated windows for free, but many tried it and stuck with linux. we got a lot of adoption for a while there.
It's a shame more developers don't target Linux! Anyway I have been Steam gaming on Linux for about 10 years now and it's amazing how good games targeted at Windows run through Proton. I have many games that are targeted for Windows and run BETTER on Fedora.
Back in the day when I used to run #FreeBSD we used to recompile #Perl from source to stress-test our systems. There's something almost magical about compiling the latest Perl interpreter from source code. It's quite soothing and relaxing to watch.
The image displays a detailed system monitoring interface, likely from a Linux-based operating system. The interface is divided into several sections, each providing different types of information.
Top Section: The top section features a large graph with a grid of colored dots, possibly representing system performance metrics over time. Below this, there are system statistics including CPU usage, memory usage, and disk usage. The CPU usage is shown as 24.74%, with a load average of 21.3, 76.2, and 59.3. Memory usage is displayed with 8.18 GB used out of 14.8 GB total, and 6.67 GB available. Disk usage shows 8.18 GB used out of 14.8 GB total, with 6.67 GB available.
Middle Section: The middle section includes a list of processes with their respective commands, CPU usage, and memory usage. The processes are listed in a table format, with columns for the command, CPU usage, and memory usage. The processes are color-coded, with red indicating high usage. The top process is "clang++" with a CPU usage of 79%.
Bottom Section: The bottom section shows network statistics, including upload and download speeds, with upload at 17.8 Kbps and download at 16.2 Kbps. There is also a graph showing network activity over time.
Right Section: The right section displays detailed information about the CPU, including temperature, fan speed, and voltage. It also shows the system's hardware specifications, such as the CPU model (Ryan 7 7350H) and the amount of RAM (4.2 GB).
Additional Details: The interface also includes a terminal window with various commands and outputs, such as "select" and "Info: reneate III signals." The system's hostname is "reneate," and the current date and time are "07/52."
The overall color scheme is dark, with text and graphs in various shades of green, red, and yellow, providing a clear contrast for readability.

One of the most underreported aspects of life for Black undocumented migrants can be summed up in one statistic: They’re deported at a rate four times more often than their numbers would suggest, according to an analysis of federal data by the Black Alliance for Just Immigration.

Prominent KDE developer Nate Graham put out a blog post today reaffirming the KDE Plasma's intent that Wayland is their main focus and X11 support continues to be maintained but eventually it will go away. Nate Graham also noted around 73% of KDE Plasma 6 users are already using the Wayland session.
Bit chicken and egg though, isn't it? Maybe a big desktop environment enforcing Wayland will get people working more on the fixes for the stuff that doesn't work out yet.
I understand people being annoyed if they are in the 30% though, and not trying to dismiss that.
We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11.
As for when Plasma will drop support for X11? There’s currently no firm timeline for this, and I certainly don’t expect it to happen in the next year, or even the next two years.
Quoted from the blog: "Current status: Plasma’s X11 session continues to be maintained.
Specifically, that means: - We’ll make sure Plasma continues to compile and deploy on X11. - Bug reports about the Plasma X11 session being horribly broken (for example, you can’t log in) will be fixed. - Very bad X11-specific regressions will probably be fixed eventually. - Less-bad X11-specific bugs will probably not be fixed unless someone pays for it. - X11-specific features will definitely not be implemented unless someone pays for it. "
X11 is in the news again, so I thought it would make sense to be clear about the Plasma team’s plans for X11 support going forward. Current status: Plasma’s X11 session continues to be …
Remaining 30% probably people like me whose nvidia driver multi monitor issues make wayland unusable.
Yes, some multi monitor configurations work, yes, yours might work just fine, but there's plenty of recent posts on kde.org forums showing the issue is far from isolated.
Multi monitor has issues in KDE itself as well, I'm on AMD and there are a few really annoying (and confirmed) bugs when it comes to multi monitor setups. Some bugs go waaaaay back.
Touch support really needs some love because OOF. I understand why it's maybe not a priority, but I have a nice little 2-in-1 and I'm tired of pretending like tablets don't at least deserve their niche.
Any good gesture support software I might be missing?
If I'm reading the wiki correctly, touch is just reduced to pointer input and yeah, that's exactly what it feels like
EDIT:
Yes, the writing is on the wall. X11’s upstream development has dropped off significantly in recent years, and X11 isn’t able to perform up to the standards of what people expect today with respect to support for multi-monitor setups, high DPI monitors, HDR, VRR, other fancy monitor features, multi-GPU setups, screen tearing, security, crash robustness, input handling, and more.
I glossed over it on first reading, but I guess there's a small nod to it there and that's something.

Journalists who have risked their freedom to report for Voice of America and its sister news outlets wonder what happens to them now that the Trump administration has gutted their parent agency.
@jazzilla elaborate? I am using "Trump" loosely. We are obviously looking at the final chapter of a 30 year plan, this isn't Trump per se, I'm just using this colloquially.
But that said, he has to be taking into consideration the all necessary "popular support". That is a real variable in a controlled "democracy".
And that's basically what the answer relies on, does the plan go forth or get stalled because political support will drain in a flash?

But that’s just a guess; it depends on how quickly we implement everything on community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayla…. Our plan is to handle everything on that page such that even the most hardcore X11 user doesn’t notice anything missing when they move to Wayland. At this point in time, our telemetry says that a majority of Plasma users are already using the Wayland session. Currently 73% of Plasma 6 users who have turned on telemetry are using the Wayland session"
