After all, it's one of the fastest Linux desktops on the market and one of the most flexible. Out of the box, this open-source desktop is fairly easy to use. It has everything you need for a robust desktop interface -- but it could be better. Everyone's idea of user-friendly is different, so what I'll share with you may or may not fit your modus operandi. Even so, there's certainly a tip or two here that anyone wanting to adopt Xfce as their desktop could use.

This article focuses on simple GUI text editors. These editors aren’t intended to offer the functionality provided by many text editors. Instead, they are designed for anyone wanting a very basic text editor with a convenient graphical interface. Here’s our verdict captured in a legendary LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. * ⚓ jdFlatpakSnapshot_-_create_snapshot_of_a_Flatpak's_data_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ jdFlatpakSnapshot is a tool which lets you create a snapshot of the data of a Flatpak. This utility lets you play with the settings of a program and when something doesn’t work, you can restore the snapshot. The tool only saves the data of a Flatpak and the version of the Flatpak, but not the Flatpak itself. * ⚓ git-town_-_automate_the_creation,_synchronization,_shipping,_and cleanup_of_Git_branches_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Git Town provides additional Git commands that automate the creation, synchronization, shipping, and cleanup of Git branches. It is compatible with all popular Git workflows like Git Flow, GitHub Flow, GitLab Flow, and trunk-based development. It supports mono-repos and stacked changes. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ git-toolbelt_-_suite_of_useful_Git_commands_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ git-toolbelt is a suite of useful Git commands that aid with scripting or every day command line usage.

These were missing features that are present in the original game. However, as promised we added them as quickly as possible after the new Editor was launched.

I’ll talk about QA on Friday during “You’re_Always Breaking_GNOME” and then on Monday: “Workshop:_openQA testing_for_your_GNOME_app,_module_or_service” which will cover how to write tests with openQA and how to use the in-development support for testing unmerged branches in modules. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 720 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/KDE_Plasma_6_1_3_Improves_Flatpak_Support_in_Discover_Fixes_Mor.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/KDE_Plasma_6_1_3_Improves_Flatpak_Support_in_Discover_Fixes_Mor.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ KDE Plasma 6.1.3 Improves Flatpak Support in Discover, Fixes More Bugs⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Marius Nestor on Jul 16, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇KDE_Plasma_6.1.3⦈_ Coming only two weeks after KDE Plasma 6.1.2, the KDE Plasma 6.1.3 release is here to improve support for Flatpak apps in the Plasma Discover package manager by automatically handling rebases from runtimes, properly uninstalling EOL refs that have no replacement, and fixing some issues.

I’ve tried a number of browsers over the years, but I keep coming back to Firefox. Here’s a bunch of tools and features I use in Firefox: [...] * ⚓ Privacy Guides ☛ "Privacy-Preserving"_Attribution:_Mozilla_Disappoints Us_Yet_Again⠀⇛ "No shady privacy policies or back doors for advertisers" proclaims the Firefox homepage, but that's no longer true in Firefox 128. Less than a month after acquiring the AdTech company Anonym, Mozilla has added special software co-authored by Meta and built for the advertising industry directly to the latest release of Firefox, in an experimental trial you have to opt out of manually. This "Privacy-Preserving Attribution" (PPA) API adds another tool to the arsenal of tracking features that advertisers can use, which is thwarted by traditional content blocking extensions. * ⚓ [Repeat] Ruben Schade ☛ Disable_Firefox_128’s_latest_adware_“feature”⠀⇛ If you’re one of the few remaining people running Firefox, you’ve had a new feature enabled without your knowledge or consent. To disable: * ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_Firefox_source_code's_'StaticPrefs'_system_ (as_of_Firefox_128)⠀⇛ The news of the time interval is that Mozilla is selling out Firefox users once again (although Firefox remains far better than Chrome), in the form of 'Privacy-Preserving Attribution', which you might impolitely call 'browser managed tracking'. Mozilla enabled this by default in Firefox 128 (cf), and if you didn't know already you can read about how to disable it here or here. In the process of looking into all of this, I attempted to find where in the Firefox code the special dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled was actually used, but initially failed. Later, with guidance from @mcc's information, I managed to find the code and learned something about how Firefox handles certain 'about:config' preferences through a system called 'StaticPrefs'. Update Also new: * ⚓ You're_too_stupid_for_technology.⠀⇛ I've used "Firefox" for about 15 years, since it appeared in the early 2000s. Firefox is generally considered the least evil of the two leading web browsers. But like its rival Google Chrome, both are giant surveillance engines for scooping up data about your personal interests and behaviours and selling it to bad actors. Firefox version 128, from the company that claims "No shady privacy policies or back doors for advertisers", now stealthily ships with "Privacy-Preserving Attribution" (PPA), an Orwellian name for simply tracking all your stuff but sending it via a centralised anonymising service. Mozilla's "announcement" consisted of two vague sentences buried at the bottom of the most recent release notes. Worse, the technology is still labelled as "experimental", in other words it's full of bugs likely to cause a colossal breach at some point. And it's switched-on by default!

In particular, this tool enables remote server administration. Recently, researchers demonstrated that under very specific conditions, when establishing a connection using the SSH protocol, a malicious operator could establish the connection without having the necessary rights. This is due to a desynchronization of controls during connection establishment. This security flaw could compromise the integrity of a server by a malicious third party. Fortunately, we were able to count on our packaging and quality assurance teams to quickly take this correction into account and distribute it to users. The Mageia team showed as much responsiveness as larger teams such as Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora.

It's been a long time since a news update here. Many things changed, and there are lots of exciting news which have been partially communicated in emails and meetings, but not in much detail. I try to clean up some of the news backlog gathered in a good half of a year with this post. ✐ Data center move¶⠀✐ With SUSE moving one of their datacenters (the one which hosted the majority of openSUSE infrastructure) to Prague towards the end of 2023, we got the opportunity to not only move our systems along, but also to introduce fundamental changes which would have otherwise been difficult to implement in the existing environment - both for SUSE, and for openSUSE. SUSE graciously provided us with not only brand new hardware, but also autonomy over what we do with it. Whereas the physical infrastructure in the old location was entirely operated by SUSE, with openSUSE merely having SSH access to the virtual machines, the new setup allows the openSUSE Heroes to fully manage their hypervisors and networking stack. This freedom allows the team to implement new ideas and react to issues with virtual machines without relying on and waiting for SUSE internal support. * § Debian Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Debian ☛ Wind_River_Platinum_Sponsor_of_DebConf24⠀⇛ We are pleased to announce that Wind River has committed to sponsor DebConf24 as a Platinum Sponsor.

With this commitment as Platinum Sponsor, Wind River is contributing to make possible our annual conference, and directly supporting the progress of Debian and Free Software, helping to strengthen the community that continues to collaborate on Debian projects throughout the rest of the year. * § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Deploying_and_scaling_Apache_Spark_on_Amazon_EKS⠀⇛ Introduction Apache Spark, a framework for parallel distributed data processing, has become a popular choice for building streaming applications, data lake houses and big data extract-transform-load data processing (ETL).

There's nothing wrong with that. If anything, the KDE team should be lauded for not pushing this still-beta desktop environment release onto the Kubuntu 24.04 LTS users. That would have been a disaster. You get to test the new stuff in quiet isolation, and that's totally fine. But then, the underlying system needs to be stable, robust and mature to allow the desktop to flourish. Right now, I'm quite certain, a huge portion of development effort goes into maintaining the KDE neon distro and figuring out its bugs. This is energy wasted, as it could have been invested in improvements in Plasma itself. KDE neon, on its own, simply isn't good enough. Wayland is another detriment. On its own, Plasma 6.1 is still Plasma. It's pretty nice, and you have the infinite customization, should you want to use it. No other Linux desktop offers that. In terms of consistency, congruence and professionalism, Plasma is light years ahead of everything else. But the 6.X series has had a rough start. Way too many bugs and problems and regressions, 6.1 included. Yes, some of the issues are gone, but fresh ones have crept up in their place. I'm not feelin' the expected level of quality that I'm used to seeing in Plasma. The default visuals are also wonky, amateurish. That won't impress anyone. If anyone cares what I think, there needs to be more focus on the basics, from aesthetics to stability, and certainly no need to add Wayland and Qt 6 into the mix, at the same time. One or the other, not both. As it is, you get too many moving parts at the same time.

By enabling a familiar container image assembly process that supports several popular output types, end users have the flexibility to choose where and how they want to operate. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Integrating_a_VMDK_produced_with_image_mode_for_RHEL_into vSphere⠀⇛ Change can be hard. This is especially true when applying a new set of technologies or approaches. Fortunately, image mode for RHEL takes many of the benefits that are found in container technologies, including a simplified build process and portability across a variety of environments, and applies them to traditional Virtual Machine workflows. In the prior post, Creating_a_VMDK_using_image_mode_for_RHEL, a VMDK- formatted disk image was produced as an output from a bootc image.   While the VMDK format is open source, they are traditionally used within the VMware family of solutions, such as VMware Workstation and VMware vSphere. In this post, we will describe how the previously created VMDK disk can be used as the basis for a virtual machine hosted in a VMware vSphere environment. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Ansible_Collection_for_Red_Bait_Runtimes⠀⇛ Several of the key products of the Red_Hat_Runtimes portfolio (Red_Hat_JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform (EAP), Red_Hat JBoss_Web_Server, Red_Hat_AMQ including streams_for_Apache Kafka and AMQ_Broker, Red_Hat_build_of_Keycloak, etc.) now offer an integration within Ansible. Following the open source model of Red Hat, those extensions for Ansible have both a community version and a productized version. To help users better understand the philosophy behind this approach, this article explains in detail the differences between each option and how they can be used. * ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Creating_and_deploying_an_OVF_Template_to_support_image_mode for_RHEL_at_scale⠀⇛ Repeatability and consistency -- These are tenants of cloud native infrastructure and just some of the many benefits that are inherently found within container images which led to the rapid adoption of the technology. Image mode for RHEL extends many of the benefits of running containers and applies them to building, deploying and managing traditional Operating System environments. In the preceding articles (Creating_a_VMDK_using_image_mode_for RHEL and Integrating_an_image_mode_for_RHEL_produced_VMDK_into vSphere), we described the process for producing a VMDK file with image mode for RHEL, publishing the resulting file to a VMware vSphere environment, and creating a new Virtual Machine using the VMDK as the primary disk drive for the machine. These steps illustrated just how easy it can be to use image mode for RHEL content within vSphere. However, where this implementation falls short in comparison to running traditional containers are those tenants that were highlighted earlier. There were quite a number of steps that went into achieving the end goal, and introducing one divergence from any of the expected steps could result in an error or failure to ultimately make use of the desired Virtual Machine. Yes, automation could be implemented to streamline the overall process, but there are features in VMware that can support deploying Virtual Machines in a repeatable manner at scale.  * ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Introducing_the_Fedora_Community_Operations Initiative⠀⇛ We’re excited to unveil the Fedora Community Operations initiative, an endeavor to boost community engagement, support everyone with more events and contribution points, and build on our amazing culture. § What is the Fedora Community Operations Initiative? At its heart, the Community Operations Initiative is all about making Fedora an even better place to collaborate and connect. We’re focusing on two main contribution areas: Contributor Experience and Community Social Analytics. Contributor Experience means working on unified documentation, improving onboarding processes, and organizing fantastic virtual events like the Fedora Linux 40 and 41 Release Parties. Community Social Analytics will explore data from our infrastructure tools, applications, and services to help Fedora leadership and the community make smarter decisions, ultimately making Fedora an even more welcoming and efficient community for everyone. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1602 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/Security_Leftovers.1.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/Security_Leftovers.1.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2024 * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Hacktivist_group_‘NullBulge’_claims_breach_of_Disney’s Slack,_releases_1TB+_of_data⠀⇛ A self-described hacktivist group is claiming today to have hacked Walt Disney Co.’s Slack account and released more than 1.1 terabytes of stolen data from the account. * ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Hacking_Scientific_Citations⠀⇛ Some scholars are inflating_their_reference_counts by sneaking them into metadata: Citations of scientific work abide by a standardized referencing system: Each reference explicitly mentions at least the title, authors’ names, publication year, journal or conference name, and page numbers of the cited publication.

SS7 identifies the country code, locates the specific cell tower that your phone is using, and facilitates the connection. This intricate process involves multiple networks and enables you to communicate across borders, making international roaming and text messages possible. But even if you don’t roam internationally, send SMS messages, or use legacy 2G/3G networks, you may still be vulnerable to SS7 attacks because most telecommunications providers are still connected to it to support international roaming, even if they have turned off their own 2G and 3G networks. SS7 was not built with any security protocols, such as authentication or encryption, and has been exploited by governments, cyber mercenaries, and criminals to intercept and read SMS messages. As a result, many network operators have placed firewalls in order to protect users. However, there are no mandates or security requirements placed on the operators, so there is no mechanism to ensure that the public is safe. Many companies treat your ownership of your phone number as a primary security authentication mechanism, or secondary through SMS two-factor authentication. An attacker could use SS7 attacks to intercept text messages and then gain access to your bank account, medical records, and other important accounts. Nefarious actors can also use SS7 attacks to track a target’s precise location anywhere in the world.  These vulnerabilities make SS7 a public safety issue. EFF strongly believes that it is in the best interest of the public for telecommunications companies to secure their SS7 networks and publicly audit them, while also moving to more secure technologies as soon as possible. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat’s_path_to_post-quantum_cryptography⠀⇛ This is exciting for the prospects it can provide in computing and at the same time terrifying in the volume of attacks and security breaches it could contribute to. Quantum computing will make attacks possible that are not currently practically achievable. For example, RSA-2048 could take more human lifetimes to crack with traditional computing resources than humans will exist. With quantum computing, however, cracking classical cryptography like RSA-2048 becomes not only possible, but achievable within a reasonable period of time. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1797 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/Sick_of_Windows_or_MacOS_You_should_check_out_this_free_easy_to.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/Sick_of_Windows_or_MacOS_You_should_check_out_this_free_easy_to.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Sick of Windows or MacOS?

But when it is used with regular expressions (RegEx), the grep command becomes a very powerful and useful tool for searching for key strings in Linux. Irrespective of the environment, understanding grep and RegEx will help you navigate files and directories. * ⚓ Unix Men ☛ Add_User_to_Sudoers_File:_A_Step-by-step_Guide⠀⇛ A Quick Introduction Before we learn how to add user to sudoers file, let us learn why it is important, the prerequisites, and the best practices as well. One of the many advantages of using GNU/Linux is the extensive RBAC (role based access control) capabilities. * ⚓ Make Tech Easier ☛ How_to_Install_Umami_on_GNU/Linux_and_Add_Analytics on_Your_Website⠀⇛ Umami is a free Surveillance Giant Google Analytics alternative that is used for tracking analytics on websites.

This post covers many ways to clean up or remove files. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Use_the_gpasswd_Command_on_Linux⠀⇛ Want an easy solution to managing group members and passwords on Linux?

Firefox added this experimental feature and turn it on by default for everyone. Which should not be the case. * ⚓ Steinar H Gunderson ☛ Pull_requests_via_git_push⠀⇛ This project inspired me to investigate whether git.sesse.net could start accepting patches in a format that was less friction than email, and didn't depend on custom SSH-facing code written by others. And it seems it really can! The thought was to simply allow git push from anyone, but that git push doesn't actually push anything; it just creates a pull request (by email). It was much simpler than I'd thought. * ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Krita_on_Ubuntu_24.04_LTS⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Krita on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Krita is a professional-grade digital painting application that offers a wide range of tools and features for creating digital art. Developed by artists for artists, Krita aims to provide an affordable and accessible solution for digital painting, sketching, and illustration. * ⚓ TechRepublic ☛ How_to_Become_an_Expert_at_SELinux⠀⇛ SELinux stands for Security-Enhanced Linux. It is a GNU/Linux kernel security model that provides a hardened set of access control security policies for the GNU/Linux operating system. SELinux tends to get a bad rap, because it often seems to go out of its way to prevent legitimate applications from working. * ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Add_Swap_Memory_on_Ubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ Ubuntu 24.04 is a powerful operating system, but sometimes your computer might run out of memory when running multiple applications. This can slow down your system and make it less efficient. In that case adding swap memory can help. Swap memory acts as an additional memory resource, allowing your computer to handle more tasks smoothly. * ⚓ Linux Host Support ☛ How_to_Install_MySQL_on_Ubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ In this blog post, we will explain how to install MySQL on Ubuntu 24.04. MySQL is an open-source relational database management system written in C and C++ developed and maintained by the Oracle Corporation. MySQL offers a variety of features, such as speed, security, and replication, and it is one of the most popular databases. * § linuxcapable⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Kate_Text_Editor_on_Ubuntu_24.04/ 22.04/20.04⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Matomo_with_Nginx_on_Ubuntu_24.04/ 22.04/20.04⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Duf_on_Ubuntu_24.04/22.04/20.04⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_HandBrake_on_Ubuntu_24.04/22.04/ 20.04⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Composer_on_Ubuntu_24.04/22.04/ 20.04⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_KiCad_on_Ubuntu_24.04/22.04/ 20.04⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_PhotoQT_on_Ubuntu_24.04/22.04/ 20.04⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Python_Pip_3_on_Ubuntu_24.04/ 22.04/20.04⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2440 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2024 * ⚓ Jacky Alciné ☛ Making_A_Place_for_My_Reading_and_Research⠀⇛ The interface is extremely rough for now as I'm focusing on making the guts correct but I'm open to ideas on how to make it look right. I'm extremely tempted to make it such that people can make their own interfaces but this isn't Hypercard. What I'm focusing on is making the storage of this as flat as possible so that applications that use its core library can work seamlessly. I'm yo-yoing on doing something to how Neovim handles plugins or bringing in a Lua and JavaScript interpreter to allow for extensibility that way. * ⚓ Karl Seguin ☛ Using_a_custom_test_runner_in_Zig⠀⇛ Depending on what you're used to, Zig's built-in test runner might seem a little bare. For example, you might prefer a more verbose output, maybe showing your slowest tests. You might need control over the output in order to integrate it into a larger build process or want to have global setup and teardown functions. Maybe you just want to be able to write to stdout. Whatever your needs, Zig makes it easy to write a custom test runner. * ⚓ [Old] PerlMonks ☛ XY_Problem⠀⇛ You want to do X, and you think Y is the best way of doing so.

Without taking action, Outlook users risk enabling cybercriminals to break into their PC with a single click. Security researchers at Morphisec discovered the worrying flaw, which impacts almost all versions of the Outlook application.

Those who use the system for emails and schedules have been told to install a new update to fix the glitch. The flaw, which impacts the majority of Outlook application versions, was discovered by security researchers at Morphisec.

The team at Morphisec, which disclosed the issue to Microsoft, goes further. “Given the broader implications of this vulnerability,” they say, “particularly its zero-click vector for trusted senders and its potential for much wider spread impact, we have requested Microsoft to reassess the severity and label it as ‘Critical’.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2693 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/Windows_TCO_More_Microsoft_Layoffs_DEI_Microsoft_Accenture_to_L.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/Windows_TCO_More_Microsoft_Layoffs_DEI_Microsoft_Accenture_to_L.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Windows TCO, More Microsoft Layoffs (DEI), Microsoft Accenture to Lay off 19,000 Employees⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2024 * ⚓ The Register UK ☛ DarkGate_malware_sees_boom_after_the_Feds_crush Qbot⠀⇛ The software nasty, whose developer goes by the moniker RastaFarEye, can be used for everything from keylogging to data and credential theft, and even remote access – which can then be used to deploy ransomware.

"True systems-change work associated with DEI programs everywhere are no longer business critical or smart as they were in 2020," a leader of the team wrote in an email sent to thousands of employees, which was viewed by Business Insider. The email states the team was eliminated due to "changing business needs" as of July 1. It's unclear how many employees were affected. Many technology companies, including Microsoft, made commitments to improve diversity efforts after the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and the historic protests that followed. [...] Microsoft typically makes cuts to its workforce around this time of year when its fiscal year rolls over. Lately, layoffs at Microsoft and technology companies in general have become more common. The company announced plans last year to cut 10,000 employees within the first few months of 2023. It has conducted additional rounds of layoffs since then. * ⚓ Forbes ☛ Major_HR_Trade_Group_Drops_The_‘E’_For_Equity_From DEI—Prompting_Online_Firestorm⠀⇛ In May, a small team at a major tech company was credited with helping save some 40 lives as it provided phone location data for people missing in the devastating floods in the state of Rio do Sul in Brazil. Later that same month, the team was hit by a round of layoffs that impacted 20 members of the roughly 120-person team. Which tech company carried out the job cuts? Apple Google Microsoft Meta * ⚓ Metro UK ☛ 343_downsized_as_future_Halo_projects_to_be_outsourced claims_insider⠀⇛ It appears the fallout from Halo Infinite has had a severe impact on developer 343 Industries, as its future with the franchise is brought into question. While Halo Infinite was the best game in the series to be developed by 343 Industries (who picked up the reins from Bungie after Halo Reach), the lack of support after launch meant it quickly fell from the multiplayer shooter conversation. Some ex-employees at 343 have blamed Xbox management for the game’s failure, shortly after the team was affected by mass layoffs in 2023. Last year, known Halo insider Bathrobe Spartan suggested 343 was set to be taken off ‘active development’ of the Halo franchise entirely, as it pivots to overseeing work by other third party studios. * ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ Halo_Series_Developer_343_Industries_Will_Only_Supervise Development_of_Future_Entries_in_the_Series⠀⇛ The Halo series developer 343 Industries will only supervise the development of future entries in the series, as Microsoft is reportedly not confident in 343 internal developing anymore. Bathrobe Spartan, who has proven reliable regarding the popular series in the past, recently revealed some new information on the franchise's future and its developer. According to the report, based on information received from current and former 343 Industries employees, the studio was downsized in 2023 and 2024, going from around 500 employees to less than 280. Internal communications and marketing teams were also cut, with Microsoft now managing them. [...] Despite seemingly doing well on the market, Halo Infinite reportedly didn't meet Microsoft's targets. As such, only Forge will continue to be supported after content that is already in development has been released. It is a shame that the game is somewhat considered a failure, at least by Microsoft, as it is a very solid entry in the series, as highlighted by Chris in his review. * ⚓ Accenture_to_lay_off_19,000_employees_over_the_next_18_months⠀⇛ As huge layoffs at leading tech businesses continue worldwide, IT services provider Accenture Plc on Thursday announced it would eliminate approximately 19000 jobs and decreased its 2017 sales and profit expectations, as per fresh reports. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2861 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/Your_Phone_is_Giving_Away_More_Than_You_Ever_Bargained_For.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/07/16/Your_Phone_is_Giving_Away_More_Than_You_Ever_Bargained_For.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Your Phone is Giving Away More Than You Ever Bargained For⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2024, updated Jul 16, 2024 Quoting: Your Phone is Giving Away More Than You Ever Bargained For – Purism — Purism devices are not actively or passively sharing your personal data since they do not rely on traditional big tech platforms such as Apple’s iOS or Google’s Android. Similarly, there is no interaction with an Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Purism devices run on an open-source, hardened Linux Kernel. While Linux is also at the heart of Android OS, it is by no-means “open sourced” anymore. (I will write later on the multiple “forks” of Android.) Additionally, Purism has devices that are manufactured in the United States. The supply chain and hygiene of the devices are safeguarded by US Citizens. This greatly lessens the threat of offensive and non- friendly nation-state actors nestling an attack in the hardware, firmware or Layer 7 software.
