embedding custom wayland UI stuff on top of gtk3 and gtk4 based applications works! 🎉

the gtk APIs to get down to the wayland surface are a bit awkward, but at least its accessible.
I tried the same with Qt6 and couldn't find a way to have it return the underlying wl_surface pointer. 🤷

I got an LV2 plugin UI with this setup working, but no hosts to try it out against.
Modifying jalv.gtk3 is likely the easiest path... 🤔

Les pantalonnades d’Hubert #Védrine en #Guinée #Conakry
#Afrique

Le 25 juin, Hubert Védrine était l’invité d’un forum sur la coopération internationale en Guinée Conakry. (......)
Le thème de ce forum était « réinventer la planification et la coopération pour une Guinée émergente, inclusive et résiliente », mais dès l’introduction de son propos Hubert Védrine l’a rejeté d’un revers de la main : « votre sujet est paradoxal, parce qu’on est dans le monde de Trump qui est absolument opposé à tout ça. Donc je vais vous parler de Trump ». (....)

Palestine Action isn’t a danger to British democracy – but Yvette Cooper is

The home secretary is apparently an admirer of the suffragettes. I have no doubt that if they were active today she would proscribe them, too, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

When Israeli leaders disagree about whether to ethnically cleanse Palestinians or not, it's never because one of them thinks it would be wrong. It's only because one thinks it would be impractical.

Another Vassal State: If Israel Can't Stand Alone, Why Do We Let It? - Politics For The People

The nearly 21 agonizing months of unrelenting Israeli genocide have taught us a brutal lesson: Israel is, after all, a vassal state, utterly unable to fight its own wars.

Esto sinceramente es espectacular.

En buena hora que estoy en el fediverso, porque prácticamente ponen características que ni siquiera vemos en [Equis] y en Bluesky.

Mastodon está mejorando aún más la experiencia de uso en navegadores, mientras que la aplicación para Android sigue manteniéndose como la más holgada a nivel de funcionalidades y demás características.

Así cualquiera tira la toalla con [Equis] y Bluesky. El Fediverso siempre ha estado por encima de los servicios de microblogging desde finales de los 2000. >>

Il y a 7 jours, 74 députés européens ont signé une motion de censure contre #VonderLeyen au #Parlement européen
Puis 5 députés ont enlevé leur signature. La liste est donc tombée à 69, ce qui ne permettait pas de déposer la motion, le nombre requis étant de 72.
Heureusement, 8 nouveaux députés ont signé. La motion a aujourd’hui 77 signatures.
On remarque dans la liste le grand nombre de Polonais et le très petit nombre de Français: aucun député de gauche, aucun député LR, 2 RN (Virginie #Joron, Thierry #Mariani), 1 Reconquête (Sarah Knaffo).
La soupe est trop bonne à l’ #UE. Si la Motion de censure était votée, toute la structure s’effondrerait. Et les députés bien rétribués à ne rien faire perdraient salaire et privilèges.
Il y aura donc un débat mais seul un miracle pourrait permettre de chasser l’affreuse et ses laquais.

J’ai connu la faim: le vide qui ronge, les vertiges, la douleur sourde du corps. Mais ce dont je suis témoin aujourd’hui à Gaza, ce n’est pas la faim. C’est la famine. La faim est un sentiment. La famine est une arme. La faim vous affaiblit. La famine est utilisée pour vous briser.

Nous regardons un peuple, mon peuple, mourir de faim en temps réel.

When I was a kid, there was a chain of service stations^1^ in the western US that used a dinosaur as its logo. This pretty clearly implied that petroleum has something to do with dinosaurs.

Petroleum was formed from stuff at the bottoms of lakes and seas laid down long before dinosaurs dominated.

It's just as easy to teach people (kids in particular) the truth, so why not do so? "Gasoline, kids, comes from algae and plankton, not dinosaurs."

^1^ Sinclair Oil logo

You'll notice that I wrote "service" stations, not "gas" stations. The difference is significant. We still have gas stations, but we haven't had service stations in nearly 50 years.

In the film Back to the Future you'll see a service station. BTW, service stations were history when that film was made, and that film is already 40 years old.

When you pulled into a service station, at least one person would run out to your car, and start cleaning the windows while, at the same time, offering to check your oil level, offering to check your tire pressure, and asking how much gasoline you'd like to buy. The most common reply was "Fill 'r up." Never was a customer expected, or even allowed, to operate a gasoline pump.

In addition, individual service stations hired mechanics to do auto repair and preventative maintenance (e.g., changing the oil). Auto manufacturers didn't yet monopolize maintenance and repair.

We All Must Be More Attentive & Careful.
Flooding kills at least 24 people in Kerr County. At least 23 girls are missing. Rescue efforts underway.

Authorities advised people to call 800-733-2767 if they were trying to locate a loved one. One thing is for certain, we can't blame the deep state for this one. Rescuers raced against the clock on Friday night in their frantic search for more than 20 missing girls from a private Christian camp and anyone else who may have survived the deadly, unprecedented, and catastrophic floods when the Guadalupe River burst its banks in Kerr County. The floods have claimed at least 24 lives.

Forecasters warned more rain was coming to the region, nicknamed "flash flood alley," which may only worsen a "mass casualty event" that swept away entire buildings, and sent cars swirling through the gray and brown waters.

A somber assemblage of Texas National Guard commanders, state troopers, and emergency management joined Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Friday night in a livestreamed update. Abbott stressed that Texas would send all its resources to aid the rescuers. They provided no update on the missing girls.

Death toll now 24 in Guadalupe River floods. Search continues for more than 20 girls still missing.

Glastonbury Festival 2025 controversy


Bobbie Vylan released a statement saying: "The headline of it is: don’t let the media distract you from what’s truly important. [...] They want to control this country’s narrative to frame genocide as Israel defending itself [...] Regardless of how it was said, calling for an end to the slaughter of innocents is never wrong."[33] The band also released a statement, writing, "We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use ‘unnecessary lethal force’ against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza."

The first #StopCopCity RICO defendant's felony trial is set to begin Monday, January 7. Ayla King, a young working class activist arrested at the Welaunee Music Festival, bravely filed for a speedy trial and refused any plea deal. Their case will mean mountains for the other 60 defendants.

People in (and traveling to) Atlanta are organizing for a festival-like atmosphere outside the courthouse to support Ayla and the movement, as well as funds for court and organizing costs including food, clothes and housing for Ayla in the event the trial lasts the expected 4-6 weeks. To that end, a new fundraiser page has been made - please give and encourage others to give here: givesendgo.com/freeaylaking

If you're unable to be in Atlanta, host a fundraiser, make a care package, and raise a ruckus for Ayla and the other defendants. Our movements are only as strong as our support for targets of state repression, and now's the time to show we defend out people!

How much more will it take for people to realize that the political stage (internationally, nationally, at the state level and to some extent even locally) is just that: a stage. --It’s all a scam, a show, a farce…whatever word you’d like to use. It is so sad to me to watch so many good people get sucked into this giant spectacle, wasting their passion on people who lie and quite frankly do not care about them. I’ve tweeted and said before: this guy’s role is the convince you to take the “safe vaccines”. He’s been a pro-abort & hard leftist on pretty much every issue his whole life. He ran as a DEMOCRAT yet somehow became the darling of the right??? What?
