Here @jorge nails the disconnection between traditional Linux desktop distros aimed toward sysadmin (like me), versus what non-sysadmin actually want.

"Many of the things that user run into is that they are using a Linux distro based on this old model of mangling individual packages. And as users have told us, and as we know, remember, it's not like we are interrupting a hockey stick growth party around here for the Linux desktop. Users do not want this."

I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Entanglements off the shoulder of Orion. I saw Qbits glitter in the dark at the quantum gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to —STOP GENERATING

It arrived.

🔍 First Look at the Bare Liberux Nexx PCBs 🔍

Our redesigned prototypes have arrived—completely bare! These are the raw PCBs, fresh from manufacturing, before any components are assembled.

It’s been a long wait, but they’re finally in the hands of our assembler! Now, we eagerly await the next step: having them fully assembled in our hands. 🛠️✨

Stay tuned for more updates as we bring Liberux Nexx to life! 🚀

Meanwhile. JD Vance and his wife spent only three hours in Greenland during a visit—entirely on a U.S. military base. Protests and a full business boycott forced them to leave, as locals refused to serve or admit them anywhere.

Chromium now has initial, experimental support for the xdg-session-management wayland protocol, which will start shipping in canary channel in the coming days. I've implemented and tested it against Mutter 48, the only compositor supporting it atm - also experimentally - since version 47.

Well, I can say I used Anubis in front of my Funkwhale instance (to protect my music from AI bots) before it was so cool that everybody and their uncle used it. 😅

Also thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was about to quit releasing music because it would have been stolen by greedy AI techbros anyway.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has released an open source project called Rayhunter. It is designed to run on an inexpensive (~$20) mobile hotspot and look for signs of mobile spying devices called cell-site simulators. Also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers, they masquerade as legitimate cellphone towers, tricking phones w/in a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower.
