And another computer converted FROM Wayland TO X11. XWayland simply doesn't suffice, and #jriver does core dump on Wayland.

I guess this is still another 20 years down the line that Wayland is actually usable. #wayland #fail

Another Python upgrade on my system, another set of many many packages that got broken.

Why do #python devs don't understand the concept of compatibility. Linux does it. Perl does it. Windows does it. Python ... let me break everything every fu**ing minor version! #FAIL

No, we are not allowed to take a water bottle on board. But people without boarding pass, no problem ;-) The stupidity of airline security. Reminds me of the super intelligent Congress representative who thought it is a good idea to carry a pistol through security, on board, and into Hong Kong - only to be caught by HK police (not by US TSA, though).

Ahhh yes, no water bottles,

マイナンバー健康保険って、バカバカしい。

これまで:健康保険証を持って、医者に行く

これから:マイナンバーカードとペラペラの紙(写真の①)を持って医者に行く

どっちの方が不便?

嫌嫌嫌。マイナンバーは最初からずっっとバカバカしい。

Oh dear, how much can I relate to this. But hearing that Cambridge is going down the gutter, too, is depressing.

"The result is a steady infantilisation of education, whereby challenging workloads are reduced, and robust criticism of bad writing and bad thinking is avoided."

All out war waged by Israel against surrounding countries.

Invasion into Lebanon.

Concentration Camp like situation in Gaza.

10s of thousands killed in Gaza.

Thousands killed in Lebanon.

This is what the US, the UK, and the EU supports.

I feel ashamed as a citizen of the EU.

International contracts a trampled over by Israel as they were dust and dirt.

Can any of the politicians here please learn from history?

1968年の日本のニュースはまだましだったけど、今のところ、アメリカの「おしりをなめる」ことだけだね。国民、特に沖縄の方は、戦争ばっかりのアメリカはやはり要らない!
