We are continually appalled by the actions of federal agents across the river. This series of raids, a murder, and now another shooting is horrifying.

Our hearts are with our neighbors in Hawthorne and Central

- Fyra Labs Twin Cities, Saint Paul, Minnesota
This evening, one adult male was shot by federal immigration enforcement agents in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North. He was transferred to a local hospital with apparent non-life-threatening injuries.

We understand there is anger. We ask the public to remain calm.
We are aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in North Minneapolis. We are working to confirm additional details.

ICE’s actions in Minneapolis this morning are abhorrent. ICE’s presence in the Twin Cities has done nothing but cause chaos and sew distrust, today’s shooting is a disgusting escalation.

Our hearts are with our neighbors in South Minneapolis, there’s no such thing as an illegal person ❤️
We are aware of a shooting involving a federal agent at 34th Street and Portland. We are working to confirm additional information, but what we know is that the presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city and making our community less safe.

We enabled graphical acceleration for our WSL users last week.

You could run a game inside WINE inside Linux inside Windows if that's what gets you going.

You can update WSL right now with `sudo dnf upgrade` or wait for us to land this in the Microsoft Store.

Have fun!

The EU’s Chat Control proposal inches closer to a vote this week.

From scanning your messages to requiring encryption backdoors, Chat Control is disastrous for the entire internet, even if you’re not in Europe.
