It is right in the name, “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” is a comedic parody of 60 Minutes and shows like it.
I asked my Chinese AI and it offered this:
This Hour Has 22 Minutes
Mock newsmagazine; sharp, focused, satirical. Cynical, biting, "gotcha" journalism parody. Mostly pre-taped and tightly edited.
Saturday Night Live
Live variety show; broad, chaotic, character-driven. Silly, absurd, celebratory, sometimes clumsy.
Almost all the changes are to ensure it still builds. This is purely a preservation effort.
That said, the move to make it compatible with systemd is interesting. Did not see that coming.
The US economy would crash without trade. That it would eventually recover to some stable but reduced state hardly matters.
Take aluminum and nickel as two examples. The US may theoretically have the resources required. But they do not produce enough and it would be years or even decades before they could. What happens to the auto industry or even their defence capability in the meantime? Other things, like Titanium, may not be available in quantity no matter how much time and money is spent trying.
Aluminum needs massive amounts of electricity. Where is that coming from? The US is a net electricity importer today. How long will it take to build that infrastructure?
How about microchips? How fast can you design all the chips you import? How fast can you build the fabs?
How long does it take to retrofit a refinery designed to process Canadian heavy crude? What is your energy output while those refineries are offline?
Even food is hard to pivot. Are Americans going to eat all those soy beans? And, as I heard someone else say “you cannot grow bananas in the US”.
When you say “comparatively poorer” I think it undersells the impact that full isolation would have by a massive margin.
For any other country, the impact of ceasing trade with the US can be offset by finding other trading partners. I stand by my statements.
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?

Intel has lots of time to turn it around. But since they have not even started, it is hard to know if they will.
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.
Let’s see….
SNL was co-created by Canadian Lorne Michaels.
It grew popular due to the comedy talent of Canadians like Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short, Mike Myers, and others.
Saturday Night Live is the Canadian SNL.
