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... 🤔
the jalv gtk3 code is quite complex, I think it might be easier for me to add a little support in carla instead.
but really wish getting some wayland related pointers/data out of Qt was a bit easier.. without it I cannot do the fancy "keep plugin UI on top of carla" thing under wayland

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.
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.

It's very obvious that the NYT has put people in editorial positions who view it as part of their job to upset the left. This is, in the bizarro, insular world of US elites, seen as a way to restore balance & regain the trust of the right. Putting aside the merits of the larger effort ...
...I want everyone to notice something about it in particular: when they try to write these articles, they end up doing *shitty journalism*. The Claudia Grey stuff, the Mamdani stuff, the trans stuff, sanewashing Trump ... it's not *just* irritating to lefties, it's also demonstrably bad journalism.
The point I want to make is: this is not coincidence. You could not do what the NYT is trying to do while maintaining high journalistic standards. Why? Because in reality, the parties are asymmetrical. The right has become deranged, violent, & illiberal. Dems are bog standard center-left party.
We really need to make this point over & over again. When they say, "we're going to try to be more fair & represent the right's perspective," it *sounds* (especially to them) like trying to do better journalism, but in practice, it is the opposite, because the right is built on lies.
Again: there is not some other approach whereby the NYT could represent the right more & still do high-quality, multiply-sourced, factchecked journalism. It's a null set. That's not journalism's fault, it's the right's fault.
Elite journalists wriggle & wriggle & try & try but they can not escape the fundamental dilemma: journalism is, by its nature, supposed to be on the side of accuracy, against lies & liars, but the GOP is lies & liars top to bottom. And for reasons of power & access, journalism can not say so.

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.

I generally go for a desktop environment, I just like the versatility. I completely understand the appeal of window managers though and when I've used them in the past I was quite impressed even.
i use KDE, and i prefer using a desktop environment. a DE has everything already preconfigured, so that it's usable right out of the box. window managers need to configured right after installation since they don't have stuff like taskbars, and sometimes they don't even have default shortcuts except for the terminal.
gnome (vanilla), by intentional lazyness. It's the least effort path, it's the most tested on my distro, minimizing the risk of bad surprise during upgrades. While I had to get acostumated to its UX at the beginning (years ago), I now feel productive since then, and ended up enjoying it, though without comparing with others.
DE, because usually is pretty out of the box. I'll never get the eye candy as anything like GNOME DE with some extensions. Speaking of... which is your fav DE for eye candy? (if resources were not a problem)
- DE, usually Gnome 4x with a bunch of extensions (such as Arc Menu & DesktopCube) added, if its on a nicely spec'd system - or Budgie, XFCE, Lomiri or Phosh once in a while, on less powerful devices, as well.
I use whatever can give me a web browser and a bunch of terminal emulators placed in tidy places around my screens. Background images are nice, but I quite often cover them up with windows containing said browser and clis. Outside of that, it doesn't matter too much.
I used to joke that the best thing about guis is the tidy placement of lots of tuis.
@Karsten Johansson @It's FOSS I prefer a pulldown menu to the mess that KDE gives and I prefer the older style Mate menu, though by default now it ships with the same menu as Gnome, it is easy to remove that menu and put the classic menu back up. I use the Marco built in Window manager both because it works locally but also plays well with x2go, some of the others do not.I make use of virtual desktops, so an interface that makes it easy to switch between them is convenient. Mate works well in this respect. I just hit control+alt and then use the left or right arrows to move up or down. I have 16 work stations configured but usually am only using five or six, but there have been times when I've had all 16 in play.
For the longest I used xfce on latest Debian stable. But for some reason the Bluetooth was not showing up nor was the user credential changer. So I switched back to gnome. I love xfce for how light weight it is. I even ran it on a beefy setup 8cors 32gb of ram etc
@It's FOSS At one time I had a dell with 4GB of RAM and two cores, then a light desktop was important. Presently I am using an i7-9700k with 96gb of RAM and nvme, so not so much. But x2go doesn't work well or at all with accelerated graphics so some things are still best avoided if I am remoting in to one of my servers.
Look at you young whippersnappers, with all your new fangled gizmos. Real men just need a #teletype and paper tape to do the work. No fancy shmancy #GUI. 🤡 no really. Isn't a windows manager a component of a desktop environment ?! #i_am_confusion !!!
@It's FOSS I used to use a model 35-KSR at the local telephone company to install software updates into #1ESS machines or to add hardware in preparation for a growth job. Such fun.
@ABSURD @It's FOSS Since I sometimes display X-apps remotely over the network as opposed to using an entire remote desktop with X2go, and since also I have Intel graphics which work with the kernel X-server, I don't use Wayland for both reasons. I am hopeful that either some day Wayland on Wires will reach a mature state where it actually works, or XLibre provides an efficient interface that works with gamers and then can have the best of both worlds, but for now that is the case.
KDE is the base environment on my main system. For daily work in virtualized environments, I always use a window manager—typically DWM, and lately I've been really enjoying Niri.
Window Manager. I love Hyprland. While I do love KDE, it has so many unnecessary for me options and bulk, that is not usable for me, especially on older laptops. With a window manager you get flexibility and just the things that you need for your use case. I chose Hyprland because I wanted to stay ahead of the curve and use Wayland. Everything I need just works on Hyprland! I use Arch-based CachyOS.
I would say desktop environment. After doing some distro hopping to find what I like, it has turned out to be the desktop environment and software store / package manager that drive my decision on what I am using. I don't think that I have used a straight up window manager that did not come from a desktop environment (example: install icewm on a distro that did not come with it).
WM. Always a WM. The last time I used a full-blown DE as such was in the KDE3 days. My WM-of-choice is AwesomeWM. And as for why... In the early 2000s when I was learning HTML, I realized that my 'Dream Desktop' would be just like a HTML page - no fixed structures, everything user-scriptable. And AwesomeWM is the closest thing to that ideal I've seen so far.
A WM. I use awesomewm. Because you choose yourself how your desktop should look and work. (I like to keep it clean and simple). And it is the perfect combination of ricing and minimalism.
I'm lazy af: The one which comes by default. But if I had to choose I'd throw a coin for either KDE or Gnome. Both very lovely and well crafted Desktop Environments and I do not want to favor one over the other. Therefore random it is.

Why assume that petroleum is formed mostly of animal remains.
Petroleum is a fossil fuel derived from fossilized organic materials, such as zooplankton and algae. Vast amounts of these remains settled to sea or lake bottoms where they were covered in stagnant water (water with no dissolved oxygen) or sediments such as mud and silt faster than they could decompose aerobically.
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^
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.
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.

Taking some supplement with a side-effect of lowering blood pressure or thinning the blood could help, if any of these effects are noticeable.
For example, the nattokinase enzyme, ginger, and garlic are said to thin the blood. That's probably a good thing when you're straining muscles to the point of possible damage, anyway.
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!
