These formats are deeply integrated into the GNU/Linux ecosystem, tied closely to the distribution's package manager and system architecture. But over the last few years, two newer technologies—Flatpak and Snap—have emerged, promising a universal packaging model that could revolutionize GNU/Linux app distribution. But are Flatpak and Snap destined to replace native GNU/Linux apps entirely? Or are they better seen as complementary solutions addressing long-standing pain points? In this article, we'll explore the origins, benefits, criticisms, adoption trends, and the future of these packaging formats in the GNU/Linux world. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Managing_Ansible_Automation_Platform_workflow_job templates_at_scale⠀⇛ It's not uncommon to encounter Ansible Automation Platform workflows with hundreds of nodes, dozens of job templates, and numerous inventories.

[...] To say that the change from Mozilla was unexpected and unanticipated would be a gross understatement. Anyone should expect Mozilla to, at least by this time (what … well over 20 years later?), have a pretty good understanding of their user base, and the ideals that are important to them. It was almost as if Mozilla was threatening to commit suicide with its poorly implemented rollout of the Firefox TOU agreement. From the outside looking in, this definitely feels like Mozilla’s marketing and legal departments overextended and made a mess of everything.

One of the major improved features there was around fiber cancellation. I’m not going to go into detail about the differences between threads and fibers as wikipedia or your local CS department can probably help you there. But what I will say is that combining __attribute__((cleanup)) (e.g. g_autoptr()) with futures and fibers makes such a nicer experience when writing C. Thread cancellation is a rather non-portable part of the threading stack across platforms. Some POSIX platforms support it, some don’t. Having safe places to cancel can be a real challenge even if you are depending on a threading implementation that can do it. With fibers, we have a natural cancellation point due to the cooperative nature of scheduling. All (well behaved) fibers are either making progress or awaiting completion of a future. We use the natural await() points to implement cancellation. If everything that was awaiting the future of the fiber has been cancelled, then the fiber can naturally cancel too. The next time it awaits that will just happen and natural exit paths will occur. When you don’t want cancellation to propagate, you still use dex_future_disown() like always (as the fiber itself is a future). * ⚓ Robert_Roth:_GNOME_Calculator_updates⠀⇛  After a long time of low-maintenance (as in me being out of the picture and doing mostly releases and some trivial/not-so- trivial-but-quick fixes here and there) period for GNOME- Calculator, it's time to reveal what's happening behind the scenes. Long-story short, pretty late in the 48 cycle two contributors popped up to breathe some life into GNOME Calculator, so much, that I had a pretty hard time keeping track of the merge requests piling up. So most of the kudos for the below- mentioned features go to fcusr and Adrien_Plazas, and I hope I will manage to list all of them, and it would be great to have folks using the Nightly Calculator (current development version from flatpak gnome-nightly repo)  to help spot issues/requests in time to be fixed for 49. * ⚓ GNOME_Foundation_News:_GUADEC_2025_Registrations_are_Open!⠀⇛ The GNOME Foundation is thrilled to share that registration for GUADEC 2025 is now open!

These new features were announced alongside the release of libzypp v17.36.4 and zypper v1.14.87. Initial benchmarking shows very promising results – total execution times can be cut by more than half. According to information shared on the factory mailing list, there are two main improvements. First, an experimental package preloading capability allows Zypper to open multiple concurrent download connections. Read_on Direct Link: * ⚓ Zypper_Adds_Experimental_Parallel_Downloads_-_openSUSE_News⠀⇛ A new zypper experimental media backend and support for parallel package downloads have been introduced with the release of libzypp version 17.36.4 and zypper version 1.14.87. These enhancements, according to an email on the factory mailing list, improve the performance of package management by reducing the time required to fetch packages and metadata. The update provides two main features: an ability to fetch packages using concurrent connections, and a simplified media backend that improves connection reuse and metadata handling. Both features are currently in an experimental phase and must be manually enabled. Before the feature is officially enabled by default, parallel package downloading can be enabled by setting an environment variable before executing a zypper operation. This allows multiple packages to be downloaded simultaneously, improving overall speed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣦⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⣴⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠿⣿⣦⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣦⣼⡿⠿⣛⣋⣀⣀⣀⠀⢰⠚⠛⢓⣲⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⢿⣿⣢⣾⣿⣦⣸⣿⠟⣯⠥⠟⣉⣉⣭⡌⠉⠉⠙⢛⠀⠐⢩⣯⠭⢹⡿⡷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⡖⣣⠖⣫⣭⣷⢦⣄⣚⣛⣛⡋⡆⠀⠌⣛⣻⣛⣀⣾⣽⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣞⡅⢚⣭⣁⣧⢐⢦⣼⣿⣟⣿⣳⣽⣋⢉⡉⡁⣁⢀⡽⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣮⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⡿⡟⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣖⣶⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣌⣤⣠⣄⡤⢤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣸⢻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣻⣿⣿⣶⣤⣵⣿⣤⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⡟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠹⠛⣻⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠙⠿⠿⠿⠿⠹⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⡯⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠉⠛⠻⠿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠟⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1363 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/28/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/28/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 28, 2025 * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Software_Review,_Perspectives_from_an_Academic⠀⇛ My journey in creating my first R package all started when I received an email from a colleague who was working with archived soil samples that were collected prior to the advent of GPS technology. These samples were georeferenced using the Manitoba Original Survey Legal Descriptions, which originate from the Dominion Land Survey system, introduced in the late 19th century to organize the European settlement and colonization of Western Canada. I was asked by my colleague if there was an R package that could locate these samples so they could be plotted on a map. There wasn’t. The data was publicly available so I wrote a short script that searched the data set for the legal land description and returned the coordinates. This morphed into a series of functions, which eventually turned into a package! And thanks to the encouragement of the rOpenSci community assistant, Steffi LaZerte, I submitted my package for peer review. That is how mbquartR was born. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ rOpenSci_News_Digest,_March_2025⠀⇛ Dear rOpenSci friends, it’s time for our monthly news roundup! You can read this post on our blog.

These changes include the Polonius borrow checker, the foreign- function interface, inline assembly support, if-let statement handling, multiple built-in derive macros, for loops, and more. o ⚓ LWN ☛ Rust_adopting_Ferrocene_Language_Specification⠀⇛ One recurring criticism of Rust has been that the language has no official specification. This is a barrier to adoption in some safety-conscious organizations, as well as to writing alternate language implementations. Now, the Rust project has announced that it will be adopting the Ferrocene_Language_Specification (FLS) developed by Ferrous_Systems and maintaining it as part of the core project. * § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ o ⚓ Scarlett_Gately_Moore:_KDE_Snap_updates,_Kubuntu_Beta_testing, Life_updates!⠀⇛ Fixed an issue in apparmor preventing QT6 webengine applications from starting.

But take a quick look, and you’ll find plenty of people suggesting it’s not ready for prime time. If Wayland isn’t ready now, when will it be? § X.Org vs. Wayland in 2025 If you’ve been around the Linux world for a while, the Wayland name likely rings a bell. The project has been in the works since its creation by a Red Hat developer in 2008. For years, the name took on a nearly mythical air, thanks in part to the way it never quite seemed to materialize. Wayland is meant to replace the aging X11 (also known as X.Org) display technology, with better support for hardware acceleration and smoother performance overall. This is due in part to more tightly coupling the compositor with the actual application running instead of a separate window manager. By 2023, Wayland was the default display server for new releases of Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch distributions. Still, as we noted in our comparison of X11 and Wayland, while the display server was running the new technology, the applications themselves were still using the older X11 APIs.

This list certainly isn't complete, but it includes some manufacturers, ordered alphabetically, that are well-established in the Linux niche. Also, I'm only including Linux-exclusive sellers. Some other brands, like Framework, are well-regarded in the Linux community, but sell Windows licenses with their devices on request.

random_tasks. It didn’t occur to me when I wrote my post about dithering_images yesterday that I could use it for that as well. @cerement_to_the_rescue: magick $INPUT -dither FloydSteinberg -remap netscape: $OUTPUT.gif This will be awesome for my next batch job.

Arrived home from hospital today, after surgery on an eyelid. I'm posting about this, as it affects current projects, in particular the Meanderer trike project. o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ More_Limine_Installer_fixes⠀⇛ * § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ o ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_Confidential_VMs_Now_Available_on_Google_Cloud_A3 with_NVIDIA_H100_GPUs [Ed: This has absolutely nothing to do with security but about outsourcing to untrustworthy, spying, privacy- hostile companies under the false premise of confidentiality (there is none; it's a lie and mirage)]⠀⇛ Canonical is thrilled to announce the availability of Ubuntu Confidential VMs on Google Cloud’s accelerator- optimized A3 machine series, featuring the groundbreaking NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs. This powerful combination brings a new level of secure and high-performance AI computing to the cloud, enabling you to confidently tackle previously impossible use cases.  Ubuntu is the only operating system to support Confidential GPU on Google Cloud. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Bryan Lunduke ☛ Tor,_F-Droid,_&_Let's_Encrypt_Lose_Tax Payer_Funding,_Go_To_Court⠀⇛ The US tax payer funded Open Technology Fund has lost Federal funding and is taking the Convicted Felon administration to court. o § Openwashing⠀➾ # ⚓ Open Source Initiative ☛ Ensuring_Open_Source_Hey_Hi_(AI) thrives_under_the_EU’s_new_Hey_Hi_(AI)_rules [Ed: More Microsoft "hey hi" openwashing]⠀⇛ In 2024, the European Union approved the Artificial Intelligence Act, the world's first legal framework for AI. Part of the law mandated the creation of a Code of Practice for General Purpose Hey Hi (AI) for Hey Hi (AI) developers. # ⚓ Open Source For U ☛ Essential_Open_Source_Tools_for_Budding Data_Scientists⠀⇛ Let’s explore some of the top open source tools that are widely used in data science today. Mastering these tools will not only enhance your understanding of how data science is shaping industries but also help unlock job opportunities in this fast-growing field. o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ 4_accessibility_tools_to_try_in_Firefox⠀⇛ The internet is for everyone, but not everyone experiences it the same way. For many of us, harsh brightness, hard-to-read text or a webpage that doesn’t work with a screen reader can turn simple tasks into frustrating obstacles. # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Open_Policy_&_Advocacy_Blog: Mozilla_shares_2025_Policy_Priorities_and Recommendations_for_Creating_an_Internet_Where_Everyone Can_Thrive⠀⇛ Mozilla envisions a future where the internet is a truly global public resource that is open, accessible, and safe for all. An internet that benefits people using online services, prioritizes the right to privacy, and enables economic dynamism. Our commitment to this vision stems from Mozilla’s foundational belief that the internet was built by people, for people and that its future should not be dictated by a few powerful organizations. When technology is developed solely for profit, it risks causing real harm to people. True choice and control for Americans can only be achieved through a competitive ecosystem with a range of services and providers that foster innovation. However, today’s internet is far from this ideal state, and without action, is only set to become increasingly consolidated in the age of AI. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Krita ☛ Twinimation_Studios_Presents_Their_Next_Krita Workshop:_Becoming_an_Artist_on_a_Budget⠀⇛ Within this workshop, we provide tips and tricks on how one can begin their art journey for completely free. After reviewing a list of affordable resources to learn art skills, we recommend numerous free art programs with a special spotlight on Krita! We explain how versatile Krita is, and how it can be used across numerous different art frields, such as animation, comics, and painting! Following some other drawing tutorials, the workshop concludes with a special lesson on entrepreneurship, where we explain how aspiring artists can create a paid hobby or full business through their artwork while remaining on a budget. With so many people wanting to enter the art scene and build a career from it, we hope this workshop will be a helpful guide for all of those who wish to create their own artistic brand. Additionally, we have many other Krita focused animation courses on our website! o § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ # § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ Inside_arXiv—the_Most_Transformative_Platform in_All_of_Science⠀⇛ Nearly 35 years ago, Ginsparg created arXiv, a digital repository where researchers could share their latest findings—before those findings had been systematically reviewed or verified. Visit arXiv.org today (it’s pronounced like “archive”) and you’ll still see its old-school Web 1.0 design, featuring a red banner and the seal of Cornell University, the platform’s institutional home. But arXiv’s unassuming facade belies the tectonic reconfiguration it set off in the scientific community. If arXiv were to stop functioning, scientists from every corner of the planet would suffer an immediate and profound disruption. “Everybody in math and physics uses it,” Scott Aaronson, a computer scientist at the University of Texas at Austin, told me. “I scan it every night.” ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2758 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/28/today_s_leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/03/28/today_s_leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ today's leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 28, 2025 * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ Collabora ☛ Hololight_joins_the_OpenXR_momentum⠀⇛ Collabora is thrilled to see its partner, Hololight, join the Khronos Group and become an active member of the OpenXR Working Group. We are excited to support their innovative approach and rapid expansion in the XR streaming space. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ IBM_US_cuts_may_run_deeper_than_feared_‒ and_the_jobs_are_heading_to_India⠀⇛ Following our report last week on IBM's ongoing layoffs, current and former employees got in touch to confirm what many suspected: The US cuts run deeper than reported, and the jobs are heading to India. IBM's own careers site numbers back that up. On January 7, 2024, Big Blue listed just 173 open positions in India. On November 23, 2024, there were 2,946 jobs available in the nation. At the time of writing, the IT titan listed 3,866 roles in India. American jobs listed for these three periods are 192, 376, and 333, respectively, though at least among those being laid off, there's doubt those roles will be filled with job seekers in the States. A current IBMer who won't be there much longer said that after being told to teach recently hired workers in India "everything I know," the reward was a resource action, or RA – Big Blue's euphemism for a layoff. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Radxa_CM3J_industrial-grade_Rockchip_RK3568J SoM_is_compatible_with_Raspberry_Pi_Compute_Module_4⠀⇛ Radxa CM3J is a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 compatible SoM powered by a Rockchip RK3568J industrial-grade quad-core Cortex-A55 SoC and equipped with up to 8GB LPDDR4x and up to 256GB eMMC flash.
