I really hate to play the “age card,” folks, but back in my day (2023 and 2024), I distinctly recall that a president with apparent mental infirmities was nigh unto scandalous.
For a press so dedicated to sanewashing the Trump administration’s open sewer of corruption, the kid gloves treatment still seems the order of the day.

Great talk by @… of #GNU #Hurd fame, in a packed room, selling the the Hurd really well (in my not entirely unbiased opinion, of course) and starting with
It'…

A slide on OS support (cont'd)

* Translator records in /dev and /servers
* Used to be a Hurd-specific ext2 extensions
* Now using xattrs by default
* Can now cross-install completely from Linux

* FS JBD2 journaling support (Milos Nikic)
* In progress

* Console xkb keyboard layout (Etienne Brateau)
A slide on Current state
* Rather stable
* Have not reinstalled boxes for a decade
  * Debian buildds keep building packages
* ~75% of Debian archive builds out of tree
* XFCE, gnome, KDE, ...
* Support merged upstream
* gcc, glibc, llvm, rust, ...
* Debian distribution
* Guix/Hurd released!
Slide on Dissemination

* News coverage
* Quarter of the Hurd (QotH) (Joshua Branson) 
* Guix/hurd (Manolis Ragkousis, Janneke Nieuwenhuizen, Yelninei) 
  * https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2024/hurd-on-thinkpad/
* Alpine (Sergey Bugaev) | z | |
 Slide: So, what do we have?

* x86_64 SMP
* SATA/USB disk/cd, all in userland
* netwokr driver & TCP/IP all in userland
* kernel only manages tasks, memory, IPC
* go, rust, ocaml, ghc, some java...
* Debian (~75% packages)
* Guix
* som Arch, some Alpine
* An the usual Hurd stuff: user-controlled translators, fine grain access control, sub-hurds.

China produced almost 1,000 terrawatthour #windenergy in 2024 with an installed base of almost 522 gigawatt #windturbines and growing. Making it the 3th source of electricity after coal and hydro.
In the EU windenergy produced 473 terrawatthour in 2025. Making it the 2nd source of electricity after nuclear.
So much for #Trump's lies about windenergy.
PS any news about his #Epstein files?
