PM Carney on X endorses US bombing of Iran:
"Iran's nuclear programme is a grave threat to intemational security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.
While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile..."
I guess this is what Carney meant by "a new security relationship with the United States."

I'm trying to document canoe routes in northern Minnesota, because the maps are disappearing from the USFS website. The Twin Lakes Canoe Route in northern Minnesota offers a short canoe route outside of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness that provides a wilderness-like experience. No permit is required.

A man and his girlfriend die in a car accident and meet Peter at the Pearly Gates. Peter says, "Welcome to Heaven, do you have any questions?" To which the man replies, "Yes, my girlfriend and I never had a chance to get married while we were alive. Can we get married in Heaven?" Peter says, "That's a good question, I will be back when I have the answer." Left at the gates, the couple begins to talk about love and how long eternity is. 6 weeks later, Peter returns and says, "OK, I've found your answer. Yes, you can get married in Heaven. So come right in and enjoy eternity together." The couple responds by saying, "We have another question. Eternity is a very long time and we are not sure if our relationship will last. If things don't work out, can we get a divorce in Heaven?" To which Peter replies, "Fucking Christ! It took me 6 weeks to find a priest up here, do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?!"
For those of you who are “nuclear curious”, the attack on Iranian nuclear sites could have resulted in trace amounts of radioactive material getting kicked into the atmosphere. The Earth’s atmosphere is a river that flows across the globe, and other places will “see” those isotopes with sensitive enough instruments.
Here is gamma radiation air monitoring open data, including data from #SNOLAB where I work. These data aid in nuclear non-proliferation.

today, I pass on some of my own music to take your mind off of all the ridiculousness in the world.
Instrumental, so no reason to pay full attention to it, but maybe while you sit and read a good book, relax on the sofa or whatever else you can think of.
I released this album a couple of years ago and you can stream it anywhere you normally stream music.
For my latest release entitled 'a Moment of Solitude', I decided to build down towards a state of calm. Starting out with up-beat grooves and rhythmic elements, by the last few tracks it's relaxed, drum-free and hopefully puts you in a place of contemplation and thoughtfulness.

So! This audiobook's coming out in two days. I dunno about the book, but the music... The composer... I like him. I really do. He's nice. Very humble, too.
No seriously. I still can't believe this is a thing, but here we are. A nice and cozy fantasy with voices I'm sure you've heard before if you're into the genre, and somehow I've been lucky enough to make the music for it.
Disclaimer in case it matters: I'm not getting any commission or royalties or any kind of anything either for sales or for making noise about this, I just think it's a cool book and I'm super happy to have made the soundtrack for it!

Wayland and systemd are both symptoms of the same behaviour, as was PulseAudio:
And that's the kind of thing that you can only get away with if you're able to act as a monopoly, by employing maintainers at key points across the ecosystem.
The biggest problem with Microsoft was not that their monopoly allowed them to be evil, it was that it allowed them to be stupid. A lot of things in the MS ecosystem are actually bad for Microsoft, but they're pushed out because no one inside MS cares enough to do the right thing and no one outside is able to fix the problems. I, personally, don't want the F/OSS OS ecosystem to end up like that.
@davidgerard@circumstances.run I have poured most hours of my last 10 years of life into listening to users and pushing things forward on Wayland even if I personally wouldn't need the feature. I really saddens me that someone would think that Wayland developers don't care.
We do care, but we only have a finite amount of time in our volunteer life. Yes, we don't copy-paste solutions from X11: we try to fully understand the problem space and do better. This does mean that coming to us with technical solutions rather than use-cases tends to be met with "please, explain why you need to do this?".
I don't really know what you mean when you say that we silence criticism. I've read enough in the past years to guarantee that it's not silenced. I appreciate constructive criticism better than rants, rants tend to demoralize me.
I am also saddened about the conspiracy that big corp deprecates X11 against the community's will. There is no single company with a monopoly here, please take a bit of time to look at Wayland developers' employers. Personally, I'm ex-SourceHut and now just a volunteer (my day job is unrelated: SNCF Réseau).
I've never said that X11 was deprecated, and I always tell people to use whatever works best for them. The only reason why X11 has less activity nowadays is because X11 lacks volunteers. (We severely lack volunteers on the Wayland side too.)
People, distros, communities move away from X11 if/when they collectively decide that they should. Nobody's pulling the strings here.

Looks like the same poorly implemented Android CT library that broke a lot of apps a couple years ago... did it again 🤦♂️

Latest update for log_list.json includes a logs: [], which breaks the requirement here. However maybe we should be checking whether logs or tiled_logs is not empty instead?steppinlo (GitHub)
Amongst other things, there's an open source software supply chain story here.
This Android library with 174 stars and one maintainer has taken down Monday.com, Eventbrite (!!!), UPS, Kraken, Lowe's, YBS, IKEA, Agibank, iFood, PagBank, pago.ro, and Udemy.
Again, this is the same failure mode that caused outages in 2023.
