Apparently leadership at Praetorian Guard Security Services

"Dr. Vance Boelter has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on the ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. Military. He has worked for the largest U.S. oil refining company, the world's largest food company based in Switzerland and the world's largest convenience retailer based in Japan."

"Vance has focused all this experience to make sure Praetorian Guard Security Services covers the needs you have to keep your family and property safe." https://www.pguards.net/leadership-team

Probably because they wouldn't have bothered use forged credentials and a lookalike cop car? In any case the shooter has been identified as Lance Boelter (still at large) and apparently is actually not a cop. He was a Walz reappointee a government Workforce development committee until 2023, but supposedly now is an employee of a private security firm.

Things have changed in the last year or so. This is about the next releases of distros, nobody's going to go back and retrospectively remove X11 and Xwayland will continue to exist when needed.

All the hubbub is because Gnome recently decided to drop support for launching X11 sessions from the login manager. Gnome's login manager is Wayland based and Wayland handles handing off graphics to different users properly. With X11 you have to have ugly things like killing the login X server and then spawning a new X server as the new user among other things is ugly and unfixable without serious security issues.

Wayland wasn't stuck with design decisions that made sense almost 50 years ago in the '80s and does things far more sanely and with less complex code.

Anyway at some point someone has to pull the plug and Gnome has done that. Many distros are built on Gnome so that's that.

You are correct but don't forget that somebody's swing app broke and they're real salty about it.

Also I can't speak for whatever you're worried about but when I moved to Wayland the only thing that broke was java shit like Matlab and those closed software companies are not going to fix their shit for Wayland unless they have to. Oracle certainly isn't going to do shit unless forced. It's not open source anything holding anything back.

Can we just let X11 die with some dignity? I don't know who this guy on the video is? Is he important? My impression is he seems like a generic popcorn feeder.

Go fork X11 or whatever, nobody is stopping you! Feel free to try and solve the puzzle of making X11 not suck while subject to the constraints of having to satisfy specifically those users who will not allow you to make any changes that inconvenience their rickety 40yo software that nobody cares enough to update to fix whatever is keeping it from running in Wayland (pro tip we're not talking about open source software here, the things that break are closed source blobs). It's well worth the effort rather than spinning up a container or kvm to run that proprietary binary.

Even if he could, Musk would have to accept the pardon which involves admitting his guilt.

A pardon means punishment is waived. You have to be punished before a pardon applies, and you have to be found guilty before you can be punished. So the only way to avoid the trial is to plead guilty/no contest.

A pardon is not immunity, immunity means you cannot be tried so the question of guilt is forever left unanswered.

Yeah these things are Rorschach amplifiers. It tells you a lot about the person writing the prompt.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

What are people still doing on the Internet? There are Nazis on the Internet.

Do you know how bars get filled with Nazis? Someone notices a Nazi and someone shrieks that everyone's a Nazi and people leave and let the Nazis take over. It's fighting the Nazis that keep the Nazis at bay, not running away from them.

It seems rather quaint to even entertain the idea he didn't know about the cancer early last year well before he dropped out.

Sites like Lemmy and Reddit are structurally designed to share mainstream media and the corporate media machine has adapted to shovel into them.

I would wager a growing number of people get their news from podcasts, YouTube, TikTok, etc. Even on Reddit I doubt many are doing more than read the submission title. Personally, NPR, NYT and WP have lost me as subscribers over the last year with their blatantly manipulative and misleading shenanigans. The same is true among my broader circle of IRL people. So it could be a bubble but others have talked about this.

In particular the DNC realized for half a moment that their typical method of carefully controlling mainstream media coverage isn't working. You can trace it all back to Biden's disastrous debate performance and then the cheerleading that Harris was winning. Corporate media just is not even remotely credible anymore and everyone knows it.

But to get back to my original comment, what I said is the people still reading mainstream corporate media don't care about the details talked about in the OP. They mostly just seem to lob article titles at each other in some dumb game of dodgeball where winning matters more than facts. The articles themselves have become complete trash.
