#USfascism / ‘The American system is being destroyed’: academics on leaving US for ‘scientific asylum’ in France

The situation is being compared to the welcoming of exiled researchers to #France during World War II. Researchers express concerns about censorship, potential deportation for speaking out against the government, and a general discouragement in the current academic climate.

theguardian.com/education/2025…

We must not overlook of course the role that hypocritical and baseless accusations of #antisemitism in academia have played in justifying politically motivated academic crackdowns.

#Linux #linuxmint #linuxdistro #wayland #linuxdesktop

Mint 21.3 is still based on Ubuntu 22.04 and its super old kernel, version 5.15. You do get the Mesa drivers version 23, but you don't get the latest Nvidia drivers either, you're still on 535.

So, you can select that new Wayland session from the login screen. I tested this on a spare laptop that uses an Intel Xe integrated GPU, and also has a dedicated Nvidia GPU.

At first glance, everything seems to work ok, but it's an experimental session, and it's missing a few things.
OBS, for example, has no source for the display: Cinnamon doesn't seem to support the screen sharing protocol through pipewire, so OBS has nothing to display here. You won't be sharing your screen to anyone just yet.

Another issue I encountered is the lack of any sudo graphical prompt: anytime I needed to install a package or update the system, I had to use the command line.

I also got some inconsistencies in the place where menus appeared, there were also a few things that I couldn't find, like changing the keyboard layout in the Wayland session, the "layouts" tab doesn't appear in the settings where it should be. The gestures of Cinnamon also don't work here for now, you can enable them, but they won't do anything.

The hot corners did work though, with their nice animations and features, but there were some weird graphical things happening. Some settings pages also seemed to have some sort of infinite scroll and didn't stop at their own content, which was a bit weird.

After that, I tried the Wayland session on Nvidia, and, all the problems I had experienced previously were still there, obviously, because they all are missing features in that experimental session, so no reason to expect them to work better here. But I also didn't get any other issue that I didn't see in the wayland session with the Mesa drivers.

So just as a little experiment, I also decided to run a game in the Wayland session, namely Warhammer 40K Mechanicus:
- Wayland + Intel: 25-32 FPS
- Wayland + Nvidia: 60-65 FPS
- X11 + Intel: 32-37 FPS
- X11 + Nvidia: 65-75 FPS

Ok, so now, let's talk about the other changes in Linux Mint 21.3. In terms of apps updates, Hypnotix, the TV watching app now lets you set channels as favorites. You can also create your own custom TV channels if you want.

Cinnamon will also now let you download Actions. These are add-ons for the file manager, that will appear in the right click context menu, letting you do, well, custom actions.

Warpinator, the file sharing app now lets you connect to a device manually by just entering its IP address of scanning a QR code. The Sticky Notes app can now be managed by DBus, meaning you can manage notes using scripts, and the bulk rename tool of Mint now supports drag and drop and thumbnails.

As per the desktop itself, you can now use 75% fractional scaling on X11 if you want that, you can also set keybinds to change the window opacity again, you can disable stylus buttons if you use that sort of hardware, and gestures got a bit better with the ability to set a gesture to zoom in on the desktop.

If you got used to the super smooth 1:1 gestures for GNOME or Plasma on Wayland, or even elementary OS on X11, you'll be disappointed here. Mint still uses X11, and their gestures act like keyboard shortcuts. You perform the gesture on the touchpad, and once your fingers have moved enough, the animation happens all at once.

Gestures are disabled by default, you'll be able to enable them in the new Settings panel. They are very configurable though, contrary to GNOME or KDE.

Mint 21.2 also changes a few things in terms of how the distro looks, or can look. First, instead of the endless list of selectable themes, in their dark or light variant, and all their color variants, you now get Styles.

The Style defines the theme you're using, for example MintY, Adwaita, or the older Mint X. For each style, you can pick mixed mode, where apps can be light or dark at the same time, dark mode, where every app that supports the dark mode preference will use it, and light mode.

And on top of that, you have a choice of accent colors, if the theme supports it, for example, there are no accent colors for Adwaita, or the High COntrast theme.

Folder icons are now longer the same color as what WIndows uses, they'll now use your accent color instead, which is much better in my opinion.

On the desktop side of things, the login screen received a lot of improvements, with support for multiple keyboard layouts that you can switch between, and support for tap to click as well.

The onscreen keyboard is usable there, and you can also configure the layout for it, and you can now more easily navigate this login screen using the keyboard and the arrow keys.

Once you're logged in, you can now resize the main menu, by dragging its corner or its edge, and you can now disable notifications for connected devices that have a low battery level.

As per the apps, the file manager, Nemo, now generates thumbnails using multi threading, which means it should be way faster.

The software manager got a small UI refresh, with the search field inline in a headerbar, with the hamburger menu moving there as well. The app pages also got a small redesign, with buttons in the header to install, and to show the installation source.

Pix, the image viewer, got a lot of changes, mostly due to its rebase on a new version of GTHumb.

Finally, Warpinator, the PC to PC file transfer program, was reviewed by the openSUSE team, and some security issues were discovered and fixed.

All Linux Mint editions are still based on Ubuntu 22.04, and they're all LTS, supported until 2027. The next base change will be when Ubuntu 24.04 releases, which means that in the meantime, you get the Linux kernel 5.15, and older Mesa and Nvidia drivers.

Now, for the XFCE variant, you get the same improvements to the login screen, the apps and the software manager, plus the new colored folder icons, tooltips and notifications, and the symbolic icon changes. You're not getting the Styles manager and selector though, and you're not getting the touchpad gestures either.

Still, you do get XFCE 4.18, which is a solid update over 4.16 that Mint used in the previous release.

As per MATE, it gets the same stuff as XFCE, so no gestures or style manager, and it's still on MATE 1.26, same as the previous Linux Mint release.

Adana Katliamları-20. Yüzyıl Başında Devrim ve Şiddet - Bedross Der Matossian (Çev. Renan Akman) (372 sayfa)
Adana Katliamları, 1908 Jön Türk Devrimi sonrası oluşan birlikte yaşama ve özgürlük umutlarının yerini nasıl şiddetin ve
çatışmanın aldığını gözler önüne seriyor. 1909 yılında Adana ve çevresinde paranoyanın neden olduğu iki ayrı katliam dalgasıyla öldürülen Ermenileri, yakıp yıkılan mahalleleri, işyerlerini, Osmanlı hükümetinin müdahale etmekteki başarısızlığını, sıradan insanların faillere dönüşümlerini anlatıyor. Bedross Der Matossian, bu katliamlara giden yoldaki tüm etkenleri incelerken, katliamlar sonrası insani yardımları ve müdahaleleri, yargılamaları da es geçmiyor. Çok sayıda kaynaktan yararlanarak yazdığı bu eseriyle tarih çalışmalarında kendisine pek yer bulamamış Adana katliamlarını gün yüzüne çıkarıyor, yaşanan trajedinin neden ve sonuçlarını titizlikle masaya yatırıyor.

It's such a tragedy that the perfectionism which drove her ended up being more of a curse than a blessing. 😔

[Serious] How did he actually lose that election?

In 2022, Chris Jones, a nuclear engineer, ran for Governor of Arkansas

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jo…

He is an Arkansas native. He wrote an entire platform to improve Arkansas. He visited every single county in Arkansas. His opponent, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, barely campaigned.

Jones lost by double digits. She absolutely crushed him.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Ark…

How the fuck did that happen? What's the Arkansas culture like?

A heads up...

I had to print a return label from Amazon; it's usually right in th email they send after beginning a return. This time it was a redirect, back to Amazon.

I printed it using a laptop, and a PC, just because there were a few glitches.

BUT, as soon as I did, both keyboard and mouse would not function on both my laptop nad PC. It took a few hours of sheer panic (were we hacked?) and a deep dive investigation, but we finally discovered that the settings on the mice were reversed.

Until recently, the accepted wisdom in Mexico was that Mexico’s economy is simply too integrated with the US and Canada’s and too dependent on the US for it to be able to join the BRICS.

Fast forward to today, and President Sheinbaum has just announced that her government will be participating as an observer in the 17th annual meeting of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6-7.
