The governments of Venezuela and Cuba today commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement, signed by Commanders Fidel Castro (1926-2016) and Hugo Chรกvez (1954-2013).
Over the past several days, I have been trying to install Linux on my surface pro 2 because Windows is having issues with hogging memory, which is preventing me from finishing a drawing.
First I tried Linux Mint. After several freezes of the Bluetooth program, I was able to get my 8bitdo controller to connect, however i learned that neither using it as a wireless keyboard nor as dinput works. Mint was not detecting input from either mode, but it could detect xinput. Krita, however did not recognize the inputs because they were not keyboard keys, so i had to install a program to convert xinput signals to key presses.
Additionally, the on-screen keyboard on Mint has two options: always on when enabled, or on when a text box prompts. The former sucks to use because you have to toggle the keyboard in accessibility settings every time you want to turn it off or on, and the latter never detected a single text box in my experience. So the on-screen keyboard simply doesn't work on Mint.
I tried installing Kubuntu. I installed the Linux surface drivers recommended on r/SurfaceLinux. This resolved an issue where the pen and eraser were seen as the same. My controller also worked Flawlessly in keyboard mode right out of the gate. The Bluetooth program didn't freeze once. The on-screen keyboard is also acceptable. By all accounts the experience was a significant improvement.
Then I tried calibrating my pen. This did not work. The cursor was consistently 2-3 mm up and to the left of where i was holding my pen. KDE with wayland also does not support non-linear digitizer calibration. This is a problem because the errors in my tablet's digitizer are non linear. On windows I had created a script to add extra calibration points to rectify this. I can't do this in KDE with wayland. I could switch to X11, but then all the QoL improvements for touch screen/tablet use would be gone.
So I've been fiddling for hours trying to make a script in krita that will allow me to correct my pen inputs with an error matrix. Krita is refusing to even recognize the script is even there. Probably a Krita problem, not Linux, but blegh. I wouldn't have to do this if the system pen calibration worked.
But of course, my 5 year old experience with how troublesome Linux was is invalid today, and Linux has gotten so much better and Just Worksโข now /s
I understand the frustration, but Linux only works because the community works on it together. You sound like someone who has some technical knowledge, maybe you can help the kubuntu team make the calibration a feature?
I get it, it's frustrating and it doesn't feel like your needs are being met.
It's just important to see the larger picture. Windows and iOS suck more every day. Linux gains more and more traction, more and more users as the competition becomes less and less attractive.
I hope that the next time you try, that it just works.
Forensic expert & member of the Ministry of Health's autopsy committee in Gaza, Samih Hamad, told Al Jazeera directly: - 25 martyrs have been identified after receiving the bodies from Red Cross - The condition of the bodies confirms that they were subjected to #torture & field execution - We're waiting for them to release 450 more bodies - At least 20 prisoners were field-executed by the occupation's bullets

In case you ever wondered what a free store running out of a house church looks like, here's some photos (featuring only volunteers, before visitors came).
Traditionally, financial crashes are the best time to get tighter regulations passed, so now is probably a good time to start planning for the AI crash. Here is the starting point for my wishlist:
Companies may not issue dividends or share buybacks while they have any outstanding debt.
Companies above a $1bn valuation may not invest in companies up or down their supply chain without regulatory approval.
Companies above a $500bn valuation may not invest in companies up or down their supply chain at all.
Companies with a valuation above $500bn are automatically investigated for anticompetitive behaviour every three years. If they have not addressed all of the issues found in one investigation by the time the next takes place, they are split up into multiple companies, with no exceptions.
The rules for when companies must be taken public (and therefore have public reporting duties) are adjusted to apply to beneficial owners, having 500 people invest in a fund that invests in the company counts as 500 investors, not one.
Any CxO found to have misled investors is stripped of all shares they were awarded, any income from sale of shares, and any earnings above the median wage of their company, and banned from ever holding company directorships or CxO positions again.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the suspension of aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip, alleging the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement had violated the ceasefire.
A lot of people are visiting Korea because of K-pop Demon Hunters.
Cool! But also come visit here because the food is amazing, the people are friendly, the scenery is incredible and folks here actually *want* your business (unlike, sadly, other countries that are trying to shut down foreign tourism)!
Come to Korea for the amazing, beautiful, fun and unique country it is, and see it through your own eyes, not only through the eyes of imaginary characters other people thought up. ๐
The music concerts draw in huge crowds and theyโre awesome. But if youโre not into K-pop and K-drama, there are still plenty of fun things to do here.
Some of my personal favorites:
*Temple hopping (nationwide) *Food tours (Seoul, Jeonju) *Mountain climbing & hiking (nationwide) *Beach life (Jeju, Incheon, Taean Peninsula, South Sea region, East Sea coastal region) *Spa treatment (nationwide, particularly Busan) *Amusement parks (Seoul, Incheon) *Shopping (all major cities) *Geo parks (The Jeju lava tubes are particularly amazing, as well as the dinosaur tracks of Goseong). *Cycling along the Han River (Seoul) *Eco-tours (parks, gardens, arboretums, forest skywalks, farm stay experience, animal & insect parks, etc etc, nationwide) *Hanok stay (Seoul, Jeonju, Gyeongju (!!!), Andong, and many other places) *Historical village tours (Jeonju, Oeam, Yongin, Andong, etc) *Cherry blossom viewing ๐ธ(spring, nationwide) *Maple & gingko tree viewing ๐ (autumn, nationwide)
This is just a taste of whatโs here.
Korea is open for business and welcomes you! ๐๐โค๏ธ
Miss Polly Prissypants is going to have a kitten when questioned about the huge No Kings turnout tomorrow. Sheโs gonna be slinging the BS like a gorilla in the zoo.
She was a local politician here in New Hampshire. Early on in her run, she suggested racism against Canadians on Twitter. I remember that distinctly. In retrospect, she was probably taking cues from the Heritage Foundation. She lost, and managed to fail her way upward.

I'm commenting not about this demo, which I found really interesting and it's good to have another tool within the fediverse. My comment is about the description below this video. When I click on any of those profiles (I've also tried bluesky despite me not having an account there), they take me nowhere, just to a 404 page.
Perhaps you should take a look into it.
Thanks, and keep doing what you're doing to make the fediverse a better place for everybody.
When Mr Lewin began explaining how cartographers addressed the challenge of portraying what is essentially a three dimensional object - the world - on a two dimensional plane - a piece of paper - my eyes lit up!
