Besides the Intel driver implementation itself for Lunar Lake and newer, it also ushers in a new DRM sharpness property to help standardize such functionality … ⌘ Read more
The Political State of Generation Z
Oct 30, 2025, CEO of PRRI - PRRI
Stephan: Gen Z, individuals born between 1997 and 2012, played a role in ‘king” Trump’s election to his second term, and I have been wondering what role they will play in the 2026 elections. We will get a first glimpse on Tuesday, and here is the best fact-based research I could find on the attitudes of Gen Zers.

Java’s Swing is allegedly in “maintenance mode”, so I doubt it’s a good idea to use it for new programs. For example, I very much doubt that it will ever support Wayland.
The replacement is supposed to be JavaFX, but that’s not included in JREs – anymore! It used to be, now it’s not, even though it’s well over 15 years old now.
This whole thing (“Java GUIs”) appears to have stagnated a lot. Probably because everything is web stuff these days …

Looks like ICE recruits are a hot mess
Lisa Needham, Staff Writer - Daily Kos
Stephan: Creating the Trump Gestapo is turning out to be harder than one might think, but one option, which Trump is playing, is just to reduce the qualifications and integrity of the people you recruit, as this article describes. Of course, it helps to have a corrupt Gestapo leader, say someone like Tom Homan.
