Some of you have probably seen the blog post a few months ago about how GNOME is more strongly depending on systemd. The changes mentioned there have landed into the latest stable versions of the mentioned software (GNOME 49) and do affect us. In particular, the main culprit is the removal of the non-systemd fallback code in gnome-session. This makes it currently impossible to launch gnome-shell/mutter on a non-systemd system. A fairly straightforward patch of using elogind, like what was previously done, no longer works either.

Since we don't have the time or interest to write a new non-systemd codepath for gnome-session, this means that all support for gnome-based desktops has to be dropped. In particular, the affected packages would be gnome-session, gnome-shell, mutter, and gnome-settings-daemon. For now, the old versions are still in the repos but because there is so much intertwining between other gtk/gnome packages, there is no guarantee they actually work and will later be removed from our repos.

Standalone gnome applications will still continue to be packaged, but it is simply not feasible anymore to support gnome desktops without systemd.

Pay. announces today having successfully completed its first Wero transaction with a test merchant.

In the end of 2025, Wero will be available via Pay. in Germany, followed by Belgium in H1 2026. The rollout in the Netherlands will start beginning of H2 2026, in line with iDEAL’s migration to Wero.

As of about 7:30 a.m. several, including Democratic contender for the 9th District Bushra Amiwala, were tying hand-written notes of support to the fence.

Amiwala, a member of the Skokie Board of Education, was adding notes when an agent on the roof began firing pepper balls in their direction just before 8 a.m. 

“This absolutely was beyond unprovoked,” Amiwala told the Sun-Times on a phone call as she was leaving the scene. 

Amiwala stressed that the notes of support tied to the fence are a way to show detainees they’re being supported.

“Those notes on the wall sends a signal that they are not alone, and resorting to trivial modes of violence in this way is a huge sign of cowardice and weakness that these ICE agents harbor, and the power trip that these people are on right now.”

Amiwala noted the importance of becoming educated on immigrants’ rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to refuse to sign documentation.

On the morning of September 4, dozens of masked federal agents raided a snack bar factory in the small town of Cato, New York. They claimed there was a “violent felon” in the plant, but proceeded to siphon off and hold anyone who looked Latinx. At least 69 workers were initially detained, with 57 still in custody or deported, though some say that could be an undercount. There are multiple reports…

Moderate, 4.9 mi loop, with spur to Dark Hollow

1,270 ft elevation gain

Hiked 9/18/25

This popular loop takes you down the Rose river past its falls, and then back up Hogcamp Branch with its various cascades of water. Make sure to add the 1/4 mi to go up Dark Hollow falls proper, or do that at as a separate hike. While not that difficult, leaves and wet bedrock can make it a slick.

Wide shot of Dark Hollow falls from its base.

Rose River falls leads into a pool that would probably make a great swimming hole with a little higher water.

Day 13 of the 15-day tourney in Japan just finished a couple hours ago! Here's how you can watch recaps, replays, or live! Feel free to post images, video links, opinions, or anything else related!

Live / Replay:

• try searching on twitch, this tourney there are at least 3 different streamers providing live video feeds with English commentary, and it's fun to have a community to chat with in real time. The top Makuuchi matches start around 3am US Eastern Time though. At least 1 of the streamers does replays all day, usually of the entire day (including lower ranks).

Video Clips:

• youtuber DonDon makes a daily video of the "best 10" matches listed in English with replays including on-screen English analysis; those are listed here: https://www.youtube.com/@dondonsumo2/videos Besides the "best 10" of the top Makuuchi tier, DonDon also makes a "best 5" of the second Juryo tier.
• NHK makes a daily video that has all the top-tier Makuuchi bouts with English spoken commentary. This video is replayed on their web site several times during the following day (kind of like an old-fashioned TV station); you can see the schedule here: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/ look for "Grand Sumo highlights." After a day of scheduled replays, the video is put up for "on demand" access here: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/sumo/ and here: https://www.youtube.com/@NHKWORLDJAPAN/videos
• NHK immediately posts individual videos of each bout listed in Japanese with Japanese commentary. Look here: https://www.nhk.jp/p/ts/Z8WRRJ9K96/ and use a translator to click on the link that says like "2nd day's effort video / results ", or just try one of the first links under "お知らせ" (which means "News" ?) it should have a pointing hand emoji 👉 next to it.
• JSA immediately posts individual videos of each of the highest-ranked 10+ matches listed in Japanese with no commentary, here: https://www.youtube.com/@sumo-video/videos
• For the listings in Japanese, try automated translations if there's a lot of text. Alternately, look for something like: 9月14日 which in this case refers to the 9th month and the 14th day (September 14th). Automated translation doesn't work that well on sumotori names, but this is a great opportunity to learn them by sight! (The JSA web site has pictures of them all.)

Text Info in English:

• all results and standings and next-day schedule by sumodb
• results and more info from the JSA
• daily writeups by The Mainichi (may be delayed on weekends)
• for commentary, see the tachiai fan site

Intro to Sumo

• introductory video
• more English-language intro videos at NHK's Sumopedia
• the wikipedia article has a lot of great information including on sumo terms.
