Alternately is there a more specific/better targeted community to ask this question in?

I am wanting to research and explore employment and compensation data for a some job categories in the EU and am wondering if there is an equivalent website or agency to BLS.gov in the United States? Unfortunately I only speak English (if that matters), but I can obviously translate webpages if needed.

Some 125 Indian and Pakistani fighter jets battled for over an hour in one of the biggest dogfights in recent history, according to a Pakistani security source quoted by CNN.

If the numbers of aircraft were confirmed, it would make it one of the largest air battles since World War Two.

Immigrants, populism, border fences, electoral autocracy.

If you are interested about how and why Hungary is as it is, this is a documentary just released by Partizán, the most viewed Hungarian news outlet independent from the Hungarian government.

The subtitles are not autogenerated but hand-made by the news outlet.

The outlet has a decidedly leftist slant even by European standards, but are considered mainstream in Hungary.

For several weeks now, Israel has been orchestrating a campaign hostile to Abdel Fattah al-Sissi’s Egypt, a faithful ally for many years, now portrayed as a military threat on its doorstep. While the Egyptian army is indeed renewing its armaments, Israel’s attitude is mostly explained by its determination to go through with the planned ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

Since the beginning of 2025, Israel has launched diplomatic and media campaigns hostile to Egypt, accusing it of violating the Camp David agreements. Cairo is accused of having deployed troops in the Sinai and intending to set up military infrastructure there - in particular developing the al-Arish airfield and port as well as other military installations.

According to Israel, such projects were not part of the original agreement. But the Israelis themselves have recently occupied the Philadelphia corridor along the border between Egypt and Gaza in total violation of that peace agreement. Yet none of these developments have prevented the volumes of Israeli gas imported by Cairo from rising several times in recent months - 20 % up in October 2024, 10 % in November, 17 % in January 2025.

This scenario gives some idea of the nature of Egypto-Israeli relations since the signature of the Camp David accords 1978. At that time President Anwar Sadat had placed Egypt squarely in the sphere of US influence, committing Cairo to sharing US strategic aims, such as making peace with Israel - a country which an overwhelming majority of Egyptians regard as their principal enemy - and fighting communism.

All successive Egyptian governments have taken advantage of this situation to portray themselves to the Americans as the regime protecting Israel from the hatred and hostility of the most populous country in the Arab word. Cairo tries to channel the people’s anger and frustration by having its secret services organise demonstrations. Thus the Egyptian authorities staged a protest of several thousand people on 9 April at the border with Rafah against Israel’s plans to forcibly displace the Gaza population. But at the same time the Public Prosecutor’s Office extended the detention of dozens of young men who had demonstrated their solidarity with Gaza independently. So with one hand they distribute banners and with the other they ban the demonstrations they haven’t organised for fear they may get out of hand and end up threatening the regime’s security.

Thus the Gaza Strip has become one of the main preoccupations shared by Egypt and Israel. For the latter, Gaza represents the most dangerous and most important area of Palestinian resistance to their occupation. The enclave’s only other border is with Egypt. And until October 2023, the Rafah crossing with Egypt was the Gaza strip’s only window to the outside world.

The partner of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has raised millions of dollars for an artificial intelligence startup hoping to introduce a product that can be used in medical testing and other settings, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the endeavor who could not speak publicly because the company has not yet officially launched. The company is called Haemanthus, which is Greek for "blood flower."

I work in a training environment I plan training, book training, report etc I do more but that's what is what you need to know for this post. I have also previously trained staff myself and worked clinically essentially I moved from a clinical role to administrative because of severe health issues. Recently I received a request from a manager for a member of staff who between myself and four senior members of staff have been trying for 9 months to get them booked It's considered mandatory training and essential for patients safety. Staff member has either failed to attend, the trainer was sick or she was pulled for clinical reasons. I replied that the date that they requested was full but here I have booked another. (The rotas for that time period hadn't been done as I checked).

Manager of said person (AH manager) goes off on a huge email rant copying in lots of senior staff directors etc how dare I say when her staff should attend I knew nothing about running a department, or a clinical environment don't dare do this again etc etc.

AH manager own supervisor approached me (someone I have worked with for ten years) and asked what happened I explained she was was happy with my resolution and reasoning. I said it was no worries I wouldn't book her staff without the full documentation in future . Other senior staff who were also copied in have had a laugh and asked if I told her my previous knowledge and skills base. Nope I'm sure someone will eventually.

Cue the malicious compliance. AH manager has sent through a good number 20 plus of bookings recently ALL declined as full or weren't ever offered or wrong inadequate booking information. Normally I will look at the rota and book on something else suitable look up the missing info I don't have to but I get they are busy and it helps. AH manager has phoned 3 times to be met with as per email you requested that I only use the completed booking form and do not use my own discretion. I am following protocol please complete the application process again.

It's taking her 2-3 times to get the members booked. (Those in charge won't pay for a live booking system🙄 but hey not my fault) her compliance figures have dropped massively something they are judged on at annual appraisals.

All because she wanted to belittle administration staff.

Is there any possibility to have something similar to X11 forwarding using Wayland?

I have to edit some big config file and would be great to have that functionality back.

From reading about the performance, sounds like it probably should have been rated "playable" instead of verified.

That said, this is pretty cool because this was one of those games that was absolutely unplayable on deck at release.

This is also encouraging for our chances of having Doom Dark Ages be playable since I think they're using the same engine. Doom games are usually optimized really well, so I'm hoping it will run better than this.
