Rethink what “fragmented” really means for Linux and why it matters.

Linux Desktop is Fragmented (And That's NOT a Bad Thing)
Linux desktop is often described as fragmented, but with the right perspective, it becomes clear that this description only makes sense if you see Linux as a single, unified product, and expect it act like one. It isn't, and so it doesn't.Roland Taylor (It's FOSS)

dc is a semi-standard linux/unix RPN calculator. Many years ago, inspired by a code golf challenge, I performed an exhaustive search of digitless dc programs using the character set ~^-/*+|ABCDdEFIinOorvz to find all integers up to 1,000,000. emergent.unpythonic.net/015251…
So as we roll towards 2026 I checked my list to find the shortest digitless dc program that produces the output 2026: CiDCAn
This program sets the input radix to "C" (12) then inputs the non-canonical base-13 number DCA (= 13 * 12**2 + 12 * 12 + 10), and finally prints it.
Non-canonical base 12 numbers are used in several upcoming years:
2026 CiDCAn<br>2027 CiDCBn<br>2028 CiDCCn<br>2029 CiDCDn<br>2030 CiDCEn<br>2031 CiDCFn<br>2038 CiDDAn<br>The current year (2025) can't be written in the same manner, because it would use the digit 9. It is still a 6-character program though:
CF F*n. This multiplies the non-canonical base-10 number CF (135) by the non-canonica base10- number F (15).
BINGO!!!
A wage for housework? India's sweeping experiment in paying women
In a village in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, a woman receives a small but steady sum each month - not wages, for she has no formal job, but an unconditional cash transfer from the government.
Premila Bhalavi says the money covers medicines, vegetables and her son's school fees. The sum, 1,500 rupees ($16: £12), may be small, but its effect - predictable income, a sense of control and a taste of independence - is anything but.
Her story is increasingly common. Across India, 118 million adult women in 12 states now receive unconditional cash transfers from their governments, making India the site of one of the world's largest and least-studied social-policy experiments.
Long accustomed to subsidising grain, fuel and rural jobs, India has stumbled into something more radical: paying adult women simply because they keep households running, bear the burden of unpaid care and form an electorate too large to ignore.

Progress in the (tech) art departament.
Rendered with 4xMSAA (no TAA etc.).
I found that Screen-Space Roughness limiter can introduce blocky artifacts. I suppose it's because derivatives work in quads (4 pixel groups).
It's probably content-specific but the effect is ON by default, and so you might have had stairsteppy artifacts and not known where do they come from.

What it takes to run a sub 3:30 Marathon?
The last running plan that I finished this year was a 22 weeks Marathon plan, below are some stats:
Total distance: 1,388 km
Total time: 136:45:16
Strength training: 1,027 sets total
Fastest avg pace: 4:29 /km
Longest run (not race): 32 km
PBs: 5k @ 20:10
I finished the race strong in 3:29:38 as planned with 1.5% negative splits. I was very happy with how the entire race went, my fueling strategy, and everything in between 😀
I'm now chasing a sub 3 hrs PB. Do you think it's realistic?
What is your next race / running goal?
