Tesla pushes for $56bn pay deal for Elon Musk

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqqndqndpq5o

I am sharing the above, because it proves what people here have been saying for a LONG time on numerous related issues, I don't think just taxing the rich is going to work, we need to press for a whole new model and consign the current model to the garbage can of history.

A lot of talk about the Israel / Gaza war starting on October 7 2023. While this is the case, the IDF did not go in immediately, there was (I think) a good month after before the invasion started, so all the destruction has taken less than six months, if we take the start date of the invasion as when they went in.

There were incursions in to Gaza, for recon etc.

Roblox on Linux Mint 21.3

Up until 20/2 roblox was working fine on my Linux Mint system, on 21/2 it stopped working, I have made a blog post below which may make sense to someone out there.

https://www.personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/grapejuice-error

As Roblox is a windows executable, I am using grapejuice, which I think is some sort of wrapper using wine so that Roblox works on Linux (or in my case Linuxmint)

There is some info here

https://devforum.roblox.com/t/grapejuice-easily-run-roblox-on-linux/262949

I am making this post as another pair of eyes and expertise may shed some light on why it has suddenly just stopped working. It runs, I get a dialogue up to say it is loading, this then vanishes. I have also run the command (output shown on post too) in the terminal so the output can be displayed, I just can't see much other than the one error.

Thanks for any help.

No disrespect to King Charles III, but the BBC are once again appear to be giving wall to wall coverage, king has cancer, will step back from duties, the royal family will step up to do their job. There are other things going on in the worlad that are far more significant, such as the War in Ukraine, War in Gaza and the increasing crisis in Yemen and other parts of the middle east.

Thankfully there are some parts of the media and here of course, where in the true british spirit, we just carry on regardless of what the main stream is talking about.
