Valve’s Proton 10.0 Beta Released With More Windows Games Now Playable On Linux inc MS Flight Sim 2024
Looks like Proton is still progressing at a steady pace forwards. I was surprised to see about a month back it played the new Assetto Corsa Evo fine on my Linux desktop. It did not play the first week or two after I bought the game (without even thinking of checking if the compatibility was ready yet).
Ironically enough the DiRT Rally 2.0 mentioned now for compatibility, I think has a native Linux install of that game as I’ve been playing that a long time already on Linux.

U.S. envoy Witkoff says Putin sees a rare chance to “recalibrate” relations with the U.S. for the first time in decades. Talks on Ukraine continue, with both sides inching closer to direct negotiations — but peace, says Secretary of State Marco Rubio, will require tough compromises.
17 years ago, Obama tried to "reset" relations with Russia - and was vilified by Republicans as naive and weak of defense.
Now, Trump and the GOP want to "recalibrate" with Russia, by conceding everything Putin wants.
We can all see who is weak and naive.

Are you living in the US and want to get a PhD within transportation, but most research funding suddenly got canceled and students are dissappeared? Come to Sweden for four years and return to build up what has been destroyed when this madness hopefully has stopped (or stay if it turns out you like it here).
PhD positions in Sweden are real employments with full benefits and a decent salary.

It was terribly cold. And there was zero color, so I tried creating colorless colors. Next time, I'll imagine a colorful laser show inside the Hague Passage. To keep me warm.
