Phoronix reports on a presentation about trying FreeBSD on modern Framework laptop from last week's Open Source Summit hosted by the Linux Foundation:

With FreeBSD having worked on improving its laptop support over the past two years with some big changes and ongoing efforts for making a nice KDE desktop experience on FreeBSD, FreeBSD Foundation's Executive Director has been trying to daily drive FreeBSD on laptops...

With the Framework Laptop, the touchscreen "just worked" as did other basic functionality from the KDE desktop on FreeBSD, including peripherals like a wireless mouse. Among the challenges were Zoom failing for video calls but eventually working, the web camera took steps to enable, and Microsoft Teams only partially worked. With the help of online resources, ultimately she was able to succeed in her journey of running FreeBSD daily on a laptop.

They're black, white and very cute. But not all gentoo penguins are the same. Gentoo penguins were thought to be a standalone species, but a new study says there are four distinct species — and it could lead to better conservation plans. (Antarctica)

BARINAS (ANP) - In de stad Barinas in het westen van Venezuela hebben honderden gedetineerden zondag een gevangenis overgenomen. Ze protesteerden tegen marteling en eisten het ontslag van de gevangenisdirecteur.

Het protest vond plaats op het dak van de gevangenis, waar de gedetineerden matrassen en lakens in brand hadden gestoken. Volgens een verslaggever van persbureau AFP riepen de gedetineerden: "Geen marteling meer!". Ook waren spandoeken te zien met "SOS" en "Ze martelen ons".

Het Observatorium voor Venezolaanse Gevangenissen, een lokale ngo, deelde een video op X waarin een gevangene zegt: "We willen gerechtigheid. Ze schieten op ons, de bewakers en bewaarders".

De gevangenis werd omringd door agenten met schilden. Familieleden van de gedetineerden hadden zich bij de gevangenis verzameld.

Activisten waarschuwen al jaren voor de slechte omstandigheden in Venezolaanse gevangenissen.
