Dolphin Publications B V ☛ SUSE vision: AI assists Linux infrastructure via voice [Ed: Terrible idea! Stupid gimmicks, ideas trialled and tested (to failure) decades ago. They just try to rebrand voice menus as "AI".]
SUSE is working toward a future in which Linux management is conducted via natural language.

Fedora Project ☛ Fedora Community Blog: End of OpenID in Fedora
It’s finally here. We have an end date for OpenID in Fedora. The date is 1st May 2026. You can see it on the banner on https://id.fedoraproject.org/openid and it will be shown to you every time when trying to authenticate with OpenID. The date 1st May 2026 should give anybody still using OpenID authentication enough time to migrate to OpenID Connect.
