I agree. But he is not getting much of a stage. I hear his voice but it has the same impact on me as hearing a toilet flush.

The role of an ambassador is to create a diplomatic channel to settle disputes reasonably through dialogue. I am very happy Canada did not kick out the ambassador precisely when such a diplomatic vehicle became critical.

But when the US ambassador abdicates his role as a diplomat and takes up the role of a bully or a propagandist, he loses his value.

We should kick him out now. At the very least, he is useless to us.

He is right, trade talks are not going to be easy. But the reason is that the US overestimates its value. It may take a while for the US to realize its error and negotiate in earnest.

The rest of he world is bigger than the US. We are very reliant on US trade today but that can be fixed. We do not have to trade with the US. The US cannot survive without trade. The US has to trade with us (the world). They need us more than we need them. They will figure that out eventually.

Fair enough.

No argument from me that some of the Wayland devs have made the whole process a whole lot more painful than it needed to be.

Purposely not providing some path to doing what needs to be done is asinine.

That said, I get that there may be some things that will be possible that just are not yet. Very few at this point.

I also think it is reasonable to ask old apps to adapt when "compatibility" would mean an inability to improve the design.

You just cannot have apps reading keystrokes in other apps for example. The things that we are moving to portals now should have been portals even in X11.

GTK 5 is not yet in the works to my knowledge.

GTK 3 apps support Wayland natively. GIMP, for example, is GTK 3 and Wayland native.

GTK 2 is X11 only if you use a distro that even ships GTK 2 anymore. Many do not, including mine.

Was it to revert MUSL?

You get what you measure

With all the bleating about how GNOME does not listen to users, these kinds of little quality of life improvements may be more significant than you think. Let’s hope we see more of them.

Everything runs under Wayland. That should be your default expectation.

At this point, Wayland is the preferred environment for GTK and Qt apps. Unless the app is exploiting some specific aspect of X11, all GTK (3 and up) and Qt (5 and up) apps work fine under Wayland.

As for other toolkits, FLTK, Electron, and SDL apps run in Wayland too.

And by “preferred”, I mean that these apps (like Thunar) will run natively on Wayland even if Xwayland is available.

There are Wayland only toolkits now but not really any “modern” toolkits that do not support Wayland. When Thunar gets ported to GTK5, it will be Wayland only.

Obviously ancient x11 specific stuff like XCB or Athena, and things built on them like Motif will require Xwayland or Xsatellite. So if you want to run, xv or motif nedit, you need those. This list includes GTK2 as well. But even they work well enough you may not notice. I mean, xeyes won’t track your mouse I guess.

And just in case mentioning xeyes brings out the Wayland critics, you can build an xeyes app that works in Wayland. I think the Wayland Maker compositor project has one for example (WindowMaker in Wayland).

Alberta just retired all their coal burning electricity generation by moving to natural gas. LNG almost by definition reduces coal burning anywhere it gets shipped.

Europe coal consumption is going up to avoid buying Russian gas.

The profitability of gas in Canada reduces investment in oil (and vice versa). Gas sells in North America for a couple bucks and in Japan for close to $12 (as LNG).

So, naturally, all the environmentalists want to stop shipping LNG.

Apparently it is more important to feel good than to do good.

All that said, I am quite happy to cancel anything that benefits Trump and his buddies.

Winning a mayoral race is not the same as firming a majority government.

He may be popular but it is going to be as the opposition. That is an important role though.

Sad that this does not even narrow down for me what skin colour you have. Well, I guess I can eliminate one.

The official statement from the CPC pretty much confirms the culture he is talking about. This statement absolutely drips petty, vindictive, childishness.

"Chris d'Entremont, who established himself a liar after wilfully deceiving his voters, friends and colleagues because he was upset he didn't get his coveted deputy speaker role, is now spinning more lies after crossing the floor. He will fit in perfectly in the Liberal caucus," a spokesperson for the Office of the Leader of the Official Opposition (OLO) said in a Sunday morning statement to CBC News.
