A future Wine release could use Zink to run OpenGL via Vulkan
A new Wine merge request has been opened that is very interesting, as it could change the way Wine work with OpenGL to make it use Vulkan.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

I feel I need to say something about Artemis as a former NASA employee, Space scientist and engineer.
I hope more than anything that the astronauts get back safely. But let us not be fooled by what this is.
Is it spectacular, yes. Is it a feat of engineering, yes. Does it make any advance in science, no. Does it help mankind explore the universe, dubious at best.
Why exactly are we sending humans to the moon? With our technology we will never send humans much further than Mars. The only way humans can possibly go further is through a scientific breakthrough. Good luck with that when Trump is gutting science.
Human exploration needs money spent on long-term advances - not using the same technology to do what we did before, however, glamorous it is.
So why do this and why do it now? Political theatre, a win for a Trump led NASA if it succeeds.
So I hope all works well and all return safely. But let us be clear what this is and why it is being done.
This is my opinion, I do not represent anyone.

Linux smashes past 5% on the Steam Survey for the first time
After rubbing away the sleep from my eyes in disbelief, Valve have updated the Steam Hardware & Software Survey for March 2026 showing explosive Linux growth.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
With what Windows is currently doing to its users I think it's sickening that the most viable alternative is a mere 5%. Where is the line for people?
But any improvement is at least a step in the right direction, even if it is positively glacial.

Democratic lotteries put power in the hands of the people
A democratic lottery fairly selects a group of representatives that matches the makeup of the population. It selects from all citizens who meet basic requirements and are willing and able to serve a limited term.
And because lotteries remove campaigning, they remove parties, politicians, super PACs, and so much of what is tearing America apart.
We can use democratic lotteries instead of elections to fill legislatures like Congress, and to transform how we choose executives like the President.
In recent decades, democratic lotteries have been used hundreds of times to call on citizens to develop policy on challenging issues. And they were central to government in Ancient Athens.
But few have had the chance to see this transformative paradigm for themselves. Until now…
The US documentary about democratic lotteries is set to be released soon.

Does this sound healthy? What does this do to a person's sense of well-being? Does it help anyone? How demotivating is this? This isn't just MAGA. Plenty of other people wallow in this stuff.

We want to port Haiku to the RK356x platform 🙂
It's a long term plan but once Haiku port for RK356x is done and ready, we'll:
- Deprecating our ALARM-based Linux distro in favor of Haiku.
- All new PineTab2 will ship with Haiku instead of traditional ALARM-based Linux distro.
- Existing users will still remain on ALARM, however there'll not be any updates (user will receive "there is nothing to do" when they tried to update it)
it's great, well done!
I remember seeing the artist Ben Grosser speak a few years ago, where he said something along the lines of 'I'm not a good programmer, but I am good enough to figure out a way to do what I want to do'. I think this is a great way to think about code.

Internet nació descentralizado: protocolos abiertos, servidores propios. Hoy la IA centraliza en el punto de interpretación: ya no navegamos, recibimos respuestas sintetizadas. Google/Meta concentraron atención, ahora OpenAI/Anthropic median conocimiento. La tecnología descentralizada existe (ActivityPub, RSS), el problema es cultural.
