Why RHEL projects want to remove definitely Xorg support and pass completely to Wayland? This is really a conspiracy! I had to build and install Cinnamon 6.4.13 on my OpenMandriva 25.11 release and probably won’t be able to update the system anymore

You can always count on “Follow the money” to find out what is really going on.
Sounds exactly like every place east of Elmhurst Road (western boundary of O’Hare and by default, Chicago).
Downstate, outside the five counties is red Illinois, except for Springfield, Bloomington/Normal, Champaign/Urbana, and the urban war zone across the river from St. Louis. Combines and tractors with Trump 2028 signs can be spotted along I-55, which I suspect has cause more than a few heart attacks and strokes on I-55 and Amtrak. The funny part is those most offended can’t figure out how to get to those signs to tear them down. Corn and soybeans are very intimidating to some people.
Why burn a Tesla? They will self-ignite while charging all by themselves if there is any defect in the batteries.
Those who are purposefully burning Teslas have flagged themselves as arsonists. That is their only achievement, besides showing off their low IQ.
RINO Establishment types. The same ones who helped the Socialist Democrat Party shut down my tool and die shop manufacturing career by incentivizing the large manufacturing corporations to move everything to China.
We used to call it “Ought-to-cad” back in the 1980s and 1990s because it was so full of bugs. Looked great on paper. But the data files were useless for manufacturing. Most everything had to be reconstructed from scratch before even attempting to start working on tool paths. Cadkey was a major improvement. I wonder if “Ought-to-cad” is still that bad? Personally, I loved Smartcam and the Unigraphics manufacturing and 3D solid modeling modules, once Unigraphics managed to eliminate all the self-inflicted bugs in their post-processor. Never let someone without CNC machine tool experience write a post-processor. They never grasp how those machine tools operate.
I skipped the T-square. By then, everyone working in the tool and die trade had Vemco drafting machines mounted on Hamilton drafting tables. I can do straight lines, curves, circles, and so on. But art? Forget it. I need Cartesian coordinates.
Here in Canada, even many so-called “conservatives” think Trump is the devil. Explaining to them that Trump was elected to help the USA, not Canada, is an exercise in futility. Each and every federal party has decided to use Trump’s tariffs to excuse and expand the kleptocracy that is the Canadian gov’t…”Elbows Up!” Sheesh, gimme a break! Canada is economically and militarily such a pipsqueak, heck, we can’t build our oun fighter jets or nuclear reactors, or even ca
That being said, here in Canada, we’re not “serious about law enforcement”, so as long as you give some minimal due diligence to keeping your head down and your mouth shut, we can enjoy freedom that many American citizens cannot…one of the very few benefits of a corrupt gov’t that just wants to line the pockets of its cronies. The American gov’t seems freer on paper, but on the street, not so much.
I’m not saying Canada is a better place, just different. Our citizenry are a bunch of ball-less wonders compared to many Americans, who, IMHO are a pretty tough bunch, dealing with both a…certain demographic…and an out-of control fed. and state law enforcement apparatus.

Anything you’ve got the balls to do.: Carry a gun, blow up a beaver dam, dump shingles in the woods, run a still and sell some booze, grow some weed and sell some pot, grow opium poppies and sell some opium, but never sell raw milk; Too much money in that biz to let the little guy even think of entering.

Freedom exists on the street, on the ground, in the field, not on paper…and it is horrible, but still better than any alternative.

It has only this instant (I’m slow) occurred to me that my little red Ranger is a MAGA truck. I’m thinkin’ it needs more decoration. Maybe a gun turret with a penguin in it??
My big truck’s color doesn’t matter, because whatever came at it, it ran over and squished.

Parts of Canada sound like Northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Totalitarians fear to go there because they might never be seen again. “The black bear get them.” This goes back to at least the days of Al Capone and probably even further back to when logging virgin white pine was the primary industry. An unknown skeleton from that time is still found every few years out in the woods or in a swamp. The county sheriff shows up to deal with the legalities.

A few years ago, I had you beat for color. My old Ranger was medium blue. During the Covid DemPanic, a member of the snowflake generation wearing three masks outside in the shopping center parking lot called the local police on me. His whining about my wearing zero face diapers outside had zero effect. He told the police that I had twin 50 calibers mounted underneath. The mentally challenged police believed him and showed up at my front door about two hours later. I told them to look where I had it parked in the driveway. Such big guns should be very obvious from a really long ways away. Be sure to look in the back too. I might have a rocket launcher mounted to the frame.
I am 100% convinced that the local police are getting closer to the Keystone Kops of early Hollywood fame.
My hope was for the snowflake generation member to show up and point out the 50 calibers, but reality said he was probably at home with his mommy, crying, because he failed to make his whining work on me.
The sad part is, they still exist, but are still out of touch with reality, with multiple face diapers. Sometimes even full face protection purchased from an industrial grinding wheel supplier.
The current truck is the same color as a Massey Ferguson 1100. Bright red with gray wheels and some black trim. I tell the village idiots to go out to a farm and protest the farmer who has red tractors. With any luck, it will be a hog farmer with a manure spreader, fully loaded, ready to go and deal with trespassers.
If you add a penguin with a turret, make sure it is wearing an old WWII German helmet complete with a swastika. Really mess with their heads. Perhaps watch the New Red Green Show for ideas? An “educational, home improvement, hunting and fishing” show made back when more Canadians still had a sense of humor. A sense of humor is something that I think got lost east and south of Sudbury. The truck drivers with the bouncy castles in Ottawa proved that much.

Imagine the fun with my friend Shawn’s car…
He also had a little red pickup where he’d altered the tailgate lettering to read TONKA.

Some of the episodes are floating around on YouTube.
Did anyone ever figure out all the ingredients in Red’s Hot BBQ Sauce? Besides the turpentine.
Obi-Shawn is going to get impounded for a dual rocket-powered Z-Wing. At least where I live, when a member of the snowflake generation sees those “rockets.”
About 30 years ago, there was a guy with a Toyota pickup truck, back when they were still compact. He altered the tailgate to “TONKA” so I figured he had to work at a body shop. There is no N and K in Toyota, and it had no rust. Around here, the life of a Toyota pickup was about 5 years for the body because of road cancer. But the engine, transmission, and rear end would run forever.
Not that I’m aware of
That’s his daily driver. He’s been stopped by the cops a few times, but only because they wanted a closer look. Lot fancier than the first car he modded (which had more the beat-up Star Wars vibe, and more noticeable side guns).
If it was red and in Los Angeles, that was Shawn’s truck… I was so jealous. 
He was a toy designer for… Mattel, was it? By now I forget, and I haven’t seen him since some while before I moved back to the Northern Wastes.
