Launched on the 18th May 1991 to the Mir space station, her mission name was Project Juno.
A chemist and astronaut, she became the first British person, the first Western European woman and the first privately funded woman in space, as well as the first woman to visit the Mir space station.
#POTUS Joe #Biden on Fri announced >500
new #sanctions on #Russia & its #war machine in the largest tranche of penalties since Moscow’s invasion of #Ukraine nearly 2 yrs ago.
Biden followed through on a promise to further punish #Putin 1 wk after opposition leader #AlexeiNavalny died in a Siberian prison. The sanctions — as well as those added Fri by the #EU — come 1 day before the 2nd anniversary of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
If you have not been following @z3ntu and my work in the postmarketOS-devel Matrix room, let me fill you in. With the update of #Mir to 2.16 in #AlpineLinux, Qtmir, the "display manager" for Lomiri, cannot compile due to an entire refactor of the Mir graphics API to account for multi-GPU setups. Fixing this does not seem to be a trivial, as various portions of the Qtmir code will have to be rewritten.
#Ukraine: #Putin made all the territories under his controls -uninhabitable
There are no pro-Putin #Ukrainians (if there ever were)
and to be sure Putin has #mined everywhere
Even after the reconquest it will NOT be possible to live there
this is an example of '#Ruski#Mir' (Russian peace)
I was previously against it...
as I believed that the #Russian should not be held entirely responsible
I was wrong
now
I am convinced that Putin's #Russia MUST be CRUSHED
if we want peace.
To give you an idea of how confusing it is to package Lomiri, here is the state of the dependencies:
There are 4 versions of Lomiri, each incompatible with one other.
Two of those versions run Wayland, with only one using an actual Wayland compositor.
Only one can use Mir2, the rest using Mir1 because Mir1 and Mir2 are incompatible as well!
Oh, and did I forget to say that this trend goes for all the dependencies too?
