However, if you share a lot of files with other people, you should probably consider a tool to detect if that file is malicious or not. Additionally, if you need to visit a website that could be suspect, you should have some means of testing it. With Linux, you have options. For example, there's ClamAV, which has both a command-line and a GUI option. Of course, for some users new to Linux, ClamAV might be a bit intimidating. Fortunately, however, as good as it is, it's not the only option. One alternative option is the newest kid on the block, called Lenspect. It's developed by VirusTotal, and it makes checking files for viruses and malware very easy. The only caveat is that you have to have a VirusTotal API key (which can be had for free). Let me show you how to install and use Lenspect, so you can ensure the files you share with others aren't dangerous. * ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ This_Tool_Let_Me_Use_Google_Translate_in_the_Linux Terminal⠀⇛ Need quick translations on the go when working on the Linux terminal? It can get bothersome to open your browser, go to Google Translate, and type your text every time. With this tool, you can translate within your terminal. Let's explore it together. § What is Translate Shell, and How is It Useful? Translate Shell, previously known as Google Translate CLI, is a command-line translation tool. Behind the scenes, it uses several translation engines such as Google, Bing Translator, Apertium, and Yandex, with Google Translate being the default option. It has many great options and features that make it worth trying. Oftentimes, you're working on documents and may need to translate a few words or a part of the document. You could copy it and paste it into Google Translate or other translation services. While this is feasible, doing it repeatedly can feel annoying. Moreover, those of us who love to use the terminal and want to stick to it prefer to use tools that can get the job done without exiting it. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 202 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/23/Android_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/23/Android_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Android Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 23, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Android_XR_headset⦈_ * ⚓ Google_Photos_copies_Apple's_3D_photo_trick_for_XR_headsets⠀⇛ * ⚓ 5_reasons_why_the_OnePlus_15_could_be_the_Android_star_of_2025_| TechRadar⠀⇛ * ⚓ Gboard's_new_Android_update_ditches_the_period_and_comma_keys⠀⇛ * ⚓ Google_just_improved_one_of_Android’s_most_basic_tools_—_at_last⠀⇛ * ⚓ Google_Maps_for_Android_Auto_shows_'Report'_button,_hides_location⠀⇛ * ⚓ Android_Auto_users_are_celebrating_this_Google_Maps_change⠀⇛ * ⚓ Here's_3_New_Android_Features_You_Need_to_Know_About⠀⇛ * ⚓ Google_Wallet_is_adding_support_for_one_of_the_best_new_features_in Android_16_|_TechRadar⠀⇛ * ⚓ Android's_long-overdue_flashlight_upgrade_begins_to_take_shape⠀⇛ * ⚓ Android’s_Flashlight_Is_Finally_Getting_a_Long_Overdue_Feature⠀⇛ * ⚓ Android’s_flashlight_brightness_slider_now_looks_like_a_real flashlight⠀⇛ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢸⣿⣿⣿⡟⠈⢄⠸⠹⠋⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢀⠰⣀⣈⠭⠴⠟⡟⠚⠡⠤⠄⠒⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣬⣵⣤⣤⣤⣥⣄⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡛⠁⠀⣀⣀⣈⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⠛⠛⠉⠁⠙⠏⠟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣖⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣹⠭⣻⠛⠿⠟⠻⢿⢹⢹⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡏⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠟⣻⠾⣿⣿⣷⡍⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⣿⢻⣟⠁⠀⠈⡉⠉⠉⣤⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀ ⣛⠇⣸⣾⣿⣶⣶⣾⠀⠿⠾⠼⠛⠿⠇⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡿⠃⠫⡿⣸⣿⣷⣷⣾⡆⠰⢾⣿⣿⣿⣶⢈⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠃⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠘⠈⠀⠘⠂⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⡧⠀⠀⣷⣿⣿⠿⢿⠉⠃⠀⠛⣿⣿⡻⠿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⣉⣈⣀⣁⣠⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠉⠙⢻⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠲⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠙⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠭⠉⠊⠀⠒⠒⠲⢦⣌⡉⠂⠀⠠⠄⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢻⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡁⠀⠀⠀⢀⢠⣴⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⠾⢏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 278 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/23/Audiocasts_Shows_Destination_Linux_and_FLOSS_Weekly.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/23/Audiocasts_Shows_Destination_Linux_and_FLOSS_Weekly.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Audiocasts/Shows: Destination Linux and FLOSS Weekly⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 23, 2025 * ⚓ Destination_Linux_439:_backdoored_Windows_Wild_'n_Out,_Ubuntu_Questing Quokka,_Fedora_Fights_AI⠀⇛ This episode dives into a wild mix of major GNU/Linux and tech news — from Abusive Monopolist Microsoft teasing a mysterious “big” backdoored Windows announcement (and our sarcastic predictions about it), to Ubuntu’s brand-new Questing Quokka release, to a refreshed Raspberry Pi OS that modernizes its entire desktop experience.

However, packagers are expected to ensure that their packages comply with Debian Policy, regardless of the upstream's preferences. If a packager fails to comply with the policy, the Debian Technical Committee (TC) can step in to override them, which it has done in the case of a recent systemd change that broke several programs that depend on a world-writable /run/lock directory. The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) specifies that the /var/lock directory should be used to store lock files for devices and other resources shared by multiple applications. On Debian, /var/lock is a symbolic link to /run/lock. The /run directory is created as a tmpfs filesystem specifically for run-time files by systemd-tmpfiles during system startup. Debian Policy still cites the FHS, even though the FHS has gone unmaintained for more than a decade. The specification was not so much finished as abandoned after FHS 3.0 was released—though there is a slow-moving effort to revive and revise the standard as FHS 4.0, it has not yet produced any results. Meanwhile, in the absence of a current standard, systemd has spun off its file-hierarchy documentation to the Linux Userspace API (UAPI) Group as a specification. LWN covered that development in August, related to Fedora's search for an FHS successor.

The new release adds official images for the NanoPi R3S, R3S LTS, R76S, and M5 boards. The Rockchip RK3566 SoC features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, powering the NanoPi R3S and its LTS variant. The LTS model comes with an HDMI port, while the non-LTS version is designed for headless use, so users should ensure they flash the correct image.

Large CPU coolers from the likes of NoFan or Noctua are not that expensive, will sufficiently cool fairly high TDP processors, and will fit in a large case. Fanless power supplies (or at least a Zero RPM mode) are widely available. Options for a fanless mini PC are more limited. Something like the Akasa Turing RC Pro fanless case springs to mind as a good solution to house a reasonably powerful CPU such as an Intel Ultra Core 7 255H CPU with complete silence. But achieving absolute silence is often an expensive solution. When it comes to a mini PC I’m willing to tolerate some fan noise, but I still want the machine as quiet as possible. I’ve tested many mini PCs over the years. Some of them are miserable from a noise perspective. I’m writing series for 3 powerful mini PCs from Minisforum, ASRock Industrial, and BOSGAME. In this article I’ll give you an impartial appraisal of their quietness. Their power supplies are fanless (as you’d expect) but none of the machines are fanless. I’ll take you through each purely from a noise perspective. Sound is more discernible when there are noise changes. For example, a machine with a constant low hum is more preferable than a machine that has large deviations in noise. * ⚓ sshmate_-_simplify_interactions_with_SSH_servers_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ sshmate is a tool designed to simplify interactions with SSH servers. It provides an easy way to connect to servers by assigning a name to an address. After adding a connection, you can directly connect to the server using the name you provided. It also allows adding log messages to existing connections. These log messages serve as additional descriptions of the server, making it easier to remember what the server is for and how it’s been changed over time. For example, you might add log messages like upgraded mysql or installed nginx using latest version. Then, when you need to connect to the server again, you can simply search for keywords in the log messages to quickly find the server you need.

The "FineIBT: Fine-grain Control-flow Enforcement with Indirect Branch Tracking" mechanism was merged for Linux 6.2 in early 2023 to harden the kernel against CFI attacks of various sorts, but needed some fixes and enhancements more recently. The talk looked at the CFI vulnerability problem, FineIBT, and an enhanced version that is hoped to be able to unify all of the disparate hardware and software mitigations to address both regular and speculative CFI vulnerabilities. Constable began with introductions. He is a defensive- security researcher for Intel Labs, while Österlund is an offensive-security researcher on the Intel STORM team. Constable offered thanks to various people for their help on the feature, including Peter Zijlstra, who developed the patches and was present for the talk. Beyond that, Constable thanked the ""tremendous"" Linux kernel community, which ""really helped to refine this enhancement throughout a very lively discussion"", resulting in a patch set that was ""a lot better"". * § FSFE⠀➾ o ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2025-10-21_[Older]_The_FSFE_defends_Interoperability_from Apple_at_the_EU’s_highest_court [Ed: Now that FSFE gets big bribes from Microsoft it is focused on criticising Apple (Google is also a big sponsor)]⠀⇛ o ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2025-10-15_[Older]_DMA_litigation_against_Apple:_a_quick recap⠀⇛ * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ LWN ☛ Gccrs_after_libcore⠀⇛ Despite its increasing popularity, the Rust programming language is still supported by a single compiler, the LLVM-based rustc. At the 2025 GNU Tools Cauldron, Pierre- Emmanuel Patry said that a lot of people are waiting for a GCC-based Rust compiler before jumping into the language. Patry, who is working on just that compiler (known as "gccrs"), provided an update on the status of that project and what is coming next. There are a few reasons to want a GCC-based Rust compiler, he began. Many developers are working with GCC now, prefer it, and do not want to have to change to a different toolchain. Having multiple compilers helps to build confidence in the future of a language in general. There is also the list of architectures that GCC supports, but which LLVM does not. There is an intermediate option in the form of rustc_codegen_gcc, a project that grafts the GCC code- generation layer onto rustc. But, Patry said, few people seem willing to use rustc_codegen_gcc; he was unsure why. And, in any case, that project does not fully address the problem of architecture support in the Rust standard library, which must be ported separately to each new architecture. So developers are still waiting for gccrs, which is progressing. o § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Perl ☛ 2025-10-20_[Older]_A_palindromic_polyglot_program_in x86_machine_code,_Perl,_shell,_and_make⠀⇛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1033 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/23/Games_GNOME_Crosswords_New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU_Linux_Cl.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/23/Games_GNOME_Crosswords_New_Steam_Games_with_Native_GNU_Linux_Cl.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Games: GNOME Crosswords, New Steam Games with Native GNU/Linux Clients, GNU/Linux Outperforms Windows⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 23, 2025 * ⚓ GNOME ☛ Toluwaleke_Ogundipe:_GSoC_Final_Report:_Printing_in_GNOME Crosswords⠀⇛ A few months ago, I introduced_my_GSoC_project: Adding Printing Support to GNOME_Crosswords.

This is especially acute on my desktops, where I use ZFS by building my own OpenZFS packages and kernel modules.

With more than 2,700 events taking place nationwide, it was a day of peaceful, lawful protest against abuse of power — a bold and joyful assertion of our rights that demonstrated the power of organizing our communities, and the power of unity in the face of repression. I joined the ACLU’s organizing team to help our communities show up. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Oklahoma_Is_Ground_Zero_in_Trump’s_“America First”_Education_Push⠀⇛ The future that the Trump administration envisions for public schools is more patriotic, more Christian and less “woke.” Want to know how that might play out? Look to Oklahoma. Oklahoma has spent the past few years reshaping public schools to integrate lessons about Jesus and encourage pride about America’s history, with political leaders and legislators working their way through the conservative agenda for overhauling education. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Why_Did_You_Leave_the_Department_of_Veterans Affairs?⠀⇛ If you are a doctor, nurse or other front-line medical provider who has recently left your position at a VA hospital or clinic, we want to hear from you.

SLAPP litigations form their basis in defamation law (but can also include issues surrounding privacy, confidentiality and data protection). Unlike genuine defamation claims – which typically arise out of an attempt to protect or repair the claimant’s damaged reputation – SLAPPs go further, aiming to prevent lawful investigations and discussions about matters of public interest. # ⚓ [Old] Public Participation Project ☛ What_is_a_SLAPP? —_Public_Participation_Project⠀⇛ SLAPPs are effective because even a meritless lawsuit can take years and many thousands of dollars to defend. To end or prevent a SLAPP, those who speak out on issues of public interest frequently agree to muzzle themselves, apologize, or “correct” statements. # ⚓ [Old] The Conversation ☛ What_is_a_SLAPP_suit?_Legal experts_explain_how_these_lawsuits_suppress_free speech⠀⇛ Strategic lawsuits against public participation, or SLAPP suits, are civil claims brought against people or organizations who voice opinions publicly. These lawsuits are intended to intimidate opponents and suppress advocacy efforts by forcing critics to spend time and money on expensive litigation. # ⚓ [Old] European Commission ☛ Protecting_journalists and_human_rights_defenders_from_strategic_lawsuits against_public_participation_(SLAPPs)_-_European Commission⠀⇛ A cornerstone of healthy and thriving democracies is a pluralistic democratic debate that ensures that citizens can actively participate in the democratic debate. To do so, citizens must have access to reliable information and be able to form their own judgement in a public space where different views can be expressed. Journalists and human rights defenders play a crucial role in feeding this public debate including by investigating and informing citizens on and pointing to issues of public interest. # ⚓ Cornell Unviersity ☛ SLAPP_suit_|_Wex_|_US_Law_|_LII /_Legal_Information_Institute⠀⇛ Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP suit) refers to lawsuits brought by individuals and entities to dissuade their critics from continuing to produce negative publicity. By definition, SLAPP suits do not have any true legal claims against the critics. People bring SLAPP suits because they can either temporarily prevent their critics from making public statements against them or more commonly to make critics spend all of their time and resources defending the SLAPP suits. Given their ability to stop individuals from exercising their right to free speech, over 30 states have adopted Anti-SLAPP statutes that make it easier for defendants in SLAPP lawsuits to have the case dismissed at the outset, before spending lots of money on attorney fees. In egregious SLAPP cases, an Anti-SLAPP statute may even require the plaintiff to pay the legal fees of the defendant. # ⚓ [Old] UN Human Rights ☛ The_impact_of_SLAPPs_on_human rights_and_how_to_respond_|_OHCHR⠀⇛ The present briefer was developed based on a study that the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights commissioned to the Aberdeen University. After defining SLAPPs, the briefer examines the impact of such practice on human rights, especially freedoms of expression, assembly and association, as well as the right to public participation. It also suggests measures that States should take to tackle SLAPPs, including the decriminalization of defamation, blasphemy and other offences that may impose disproportionate penalties on those exerting their rights; the adoption of anti-SLAPPs laws; and the possibility for courts to dismiss SLAPPs through abuse of process provisions. In addition, business actors are encouraged to refrain from SLAPPs, develop clear protocols to deal with SLAPPs and grievance mechanisms that address risks throughout the supply chain. Business actors should also exercise human rights due diligence to identify and prevent the use of SLAPPs. # ⚓ [Old] European Centre for Press and Media Freedom ☛ SLAPP:_the_background_of_Strategic_Lawsuits_Against Public_Participation_-_European_Centre_for_Press_and Media_Freedom⠀⇛ According to the American scholarship, SLAPP is something different than an ‘ordinary’ attack to free speech: SLAPPs aim to shut down critical speech by intimidating critics and draining their resources, undermining their active public engagement. Moreover, one core characteristic of this kind of actions is the disparity of power and resources between the plaintiff and the defendant. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Jailed_Journalists_Andrzej_Poczobut_and_Mzia Amaglobeli_Awarded_2025_Sakharov_Prize⠀⇛ The 2025 Sakharov Prize has been awarded to a pair of journalists -- the Polish-Belarusian Andrzej Poczobut and Georgian Mzia Amaglobeli -- both of whom are currently serving time in jail for charges related to their work reporting on democracy and civil society. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ South_Korea_to_count_same-sex_couples as_spouses_in_census_for_first_time⠀⇛ While the change does not affect their legal status or benefits, it is a rare form of official recognition. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Broadway_Musicians_Ready_to_‘Strike Immediately,’_Potentially_Shutting_Down_Several_Major_Shows⠀⇛ Broadway musicians say they are prepared to strike immediately if they do not reach an agreement with the Broadway League by Thursday morning.

The total is a little higher than the 6.17 merge window, which saw 11,404 non-merge commits. There are once again a good number of changes and new features included in this release. o ⚓ LWN ☛ A_new_API_for_interrupt-aware_spinlocks⠀⇛ Boqun Feng spoke at Kangrejos 2025 about adding a frequently needed API for Rust drivers that need to handle interrupts: interrupt-aware spinlocks. Most drivers will need to communicate information from interrupt handlers to main driver code, and this exchange is frequently synchronized with the use of spinlocks. While his first attempts ran into problems, Feng's ultimate solution could help prevent bugs in C code as well, by tracking the number of nested scopes that have disabled interrupts. The patch set, which contains work from Feng and Lyude Paul, is still under review. Code that acquires a spinlock needs to disable preemption: otherwise, if it were preempted, everything else contending for the lock would just pointlessly burn CPU time. The same thing (almost) applies to using spinlocks in interrupts, Feng said. If kernel code acquires a spinlock in process context, and then an interrupt arrives, the handler for which tries to acquire the same lock, the system will deadlock. The simple rule in the kernel is that if a lock is ever used in both interrupt handler and process context, the lock must be "irq-safe" (meaning that the acquirer disables interrupts when appropriate). The kernel's lockdep tool will check that this rule is followed. * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2025-10-15_[Older]_How_to_install_Jagex Launcher_on_Kubuntu_24.04⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2025-10-20_[Older]_How_to_install_Lightworks on_Kubuntu_24.04.⠀⇛ o ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Memorizing_These_7_Linux_Command-Line_Options_Will Turn_You_Into_a_Pro⠀⇛ Linux commands often have long lists of options they support, many of which are single-letter mnemonics. These can be tricky to learn and remember, but their redeeming feature is their reusability: common options are shared by different commands. The following options are the most common and are widely available across several commands. Learn these, and you’ll gain a solid understanding of how to use many different programs, with consistent results. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Last-minute_/boot_boost_for_Fedora_43⠀⇛ Sudden increases in the size of Fedora's initramfs files have prompted the project to fast-track a proposal to increase the default size of the /boot partition for new installs of Fedora 43 and later. The project has also walked back a few changes that have contributed to larger initramfs files, but the ever-increasing size of firmware means that the need for more room is unavoidable. The Fedora Engineering Steering Council (FESCo) has approved a last-minute change just before the final freeze for Fedora 43 to increase the default size of the /boot partition from 1GB to 2GB; this will leave plenty of space for kernels and initramfs images if a user is installing from scratch, but it is of no help for users upgrading from Fedora 42.

Pays People on Motorcycle (Dressed Like Hells Angels) to Drive in Heavy Rain From London to My Home's Doorstep⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 23, 2025, updated Oct 23, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Hells_Angels_logo⦈_ Crossposted_from_Techrights Mentioning someone was in_prison for bad things isn't a crime, it's_a_public service (he's not even from this continent!) Yesterday: They've_Already_Spent_Close_to_a_Million_Dollars_on_Lawyers_and_Sent Us_About_50_KG_of_Legal_Papers_(Sponsored_by_Mysterious_Third_Party)_to_Try_to Censor_Techrights,_Without_Success As a little bit of an introduction, this article concerns a firm that breaches rules and admits this [1, 2]. Breach_of_confidence included. We'll come to this in a moment. It's so bad a reputation that around here in Manchester very small law firms already know that London firm for being one of the worst and they were sued by their own clients last month [1, 2, 3]. Having dealt_with_SLAPPs for_many_years, this one was_lousy_to_begin_with, resulting in a firm_counter- suit (almost 200 pages long), just months after two more counter-suits [1, 2]. Both cases involve Americans [1, 2] who merely 'visit' Europe via the lousy law firm in London, egging on women_to_attack_other_women on behalf of men_who attack_women. No wonder this law firm is seemingly_'selling_the_office'_already (its contents) and is happy to misuse data, despite it claiming to be an expert in data protection. This month their staff was passing around in legal documents and to third parties photos of our home taken for purposes unrelated to the matter (couriers giving photographic evidence of delivery), so we've reported the matter to British authorities. Those photos are clearly misused. Imagine me getting proof of delivery photos, then starting to spread such photos around, blogging photos like these to an audience they are not intended for (with the faces of people that I delivered parcels to, without any consent). With that little introduction out of the way, today we deal with this_person. His lawyers are acting like assassins_or_Mafia, to use the metaphor those firms earned for themselves (in my opinion, some of their managers literally look like assassins, maybe they fancy themselves that). They sent an Hells_Angels- like motorcyclist to our home. It was the delivery person whom they paid a lot of money to ride up to Manchester. Don't they know sending big men with helmets and dark overalls can scare people? Thankfully, I myself am a big person, so it didn't startle me; he chatted with me for a long time about the truly ridiculous things this law firm does for an American against Brits who reported, correctly, what he did to other Americans. He totally sympathised with me, saying what they had done is "ridiculous!" (Direct quote; he said more things to that effect, dismissive of what he helped deliver) He was actually very nice to me, borderline apologetic for what he was doing. He agreed that I ought to be seeking compensation for what they did to me and to my family. Job insecurity compels people to do things without caring "too much" about the consequences or whose interests are served (e.g. Americans who spent about a million dollars to harasses not only a reporter in Europe but also his whole family). Imagine a society where workers think about and care about the ethics of what they do for a living, and then act accordingly instead of just following orders. This man put his life at risk on a motorcycle with super strong gusts (and heavy rain, hence wet surfaces on the road) to come here on a day like this and I still find it ironic that at the end he was more like a friend to me, and not scary at all. "Pawn" of the lawyers... Since Graveley was paid by Microsoft (an American from an American company) and his American litigation buddy is funded_by_some_shadowy_rich_people_(or corporations) by his own admission I'm led to believe that they don't get their money's worth, they just try to intimidate my wife and I in vain. At the end, this ugly and clearly coordinated effort is doomed to backfire because we'll_write_everything_they_did_to_us_and_report_to_the_correct authorities, including politicians. When law firms take_any_unscrupulous_person_as_a_client they end up being known in distant cities for how bad (low success rate) and evil they are. The only thing that can compel firms to do this is financial_trouble, hence low standards or low thresholds (it doesn't seem to matter where the money comes from, but that is very_risky). █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⡶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⡛⠿⢦⣤⣄⣠⣭⣭⣭⣛⣛⠿⢷⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣗⣾⣿⣷⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣷⣶⣮⣭⣛⡻⢷⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣨⡿⠿⠟⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣯⣾⠿⠿⢿⣯⡳⣯⣿⢿⣿⠿⣿⣿⡾⣯⣟⣻⠿⣿⣷⣶⣭⣝⣛⠿⠿⢿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣦⣾⠉⢻⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣻⣿⣣⣿⣏⣘⣰⡻⣿⣿⣝⢿⣮⣟⣿⣽⣛⢿⣿⣽⣻⣷⣮⣭⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⡿⢿⡿⠁⣴⠞⢶⣤⣴⣶⢿⠻⣵⡺⠭⠹⢭⣥⣿⣝⢷⣏⠻⣮⣛⢿⣾⣝⡿⢶⣝⡛⣿⣷⣯⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣧⣬⣧⡀⠻⣤⣼⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⡢⣤⣘⠻⢶⣦⣄⣿⣯⣿⣿⣼⣿⢿⠿⠿⠷⠿⠿⠿⠟⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣯⡁⣠⣼⡏⣞⢨⢉⢍⣩⣜⢿⣮⡛⠿⢶⣬⣿⠉⠛⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡽⣿⢸⣾⣮⣷⣿⣷⣽⣛⣷⣾⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠋⠙⢿⣷⣿⣆⣿⣿⣻⣯⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠋⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3056 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/23/Mobile_Systems_Mobile_Applications_GNU_Linux_on_Gadgets_and_GNU.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/23/Mobile_Systems_Mobile_Applications_GNU_Linux_on_Gadgets_and_GNU.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications: GNU/ Linux on Gadgets and GNU/Linux Inside Android⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 23, 2025 * § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ 2025-10-20_[Older]_GNU/Linux_on_Tolino_Tab_8⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ 2025-10-19_[Older]_Weekly_GNU-like_Mobile_Linux Update_(42/2025):_Mobian_Trixie⠀⇛ * § Android⠀➾ o ⚓ Pixel_10_exclusive:_GPU-powered_Linux_apps_come_to_Android_16 QPR2⠀⇛ Google is enabling GPU-accelerated rendering for Linux applications within its Android Terminal app, a feature currently exclusive to the Pixel 10. This enhancement, part of Android 16 QPR2, uses Gfxstream technology to improve graphical performance. The development follows the March introduction of the Linux Terminal app for the Android operating system. In its initial release, the application was designed to use virtualization technology, which allowed it to run full- fledged Linux environments on Android hardware. Support at launch, however, was limited strictly to command-line programs, precluding the use of applications that required a graphical user interface. Google is now addressing this limitation in the forthcoming Android 16 QPR2 update, which will expand the app’s capabilities to include graphical desktop Linux programs. o ⚓ DeepSeaGem Technologies India ☛ Google_fixes_Pixel_bootloops, boosts_Linux_support,_brings_Pixel_8_to_its_refurb_store,_&_more⠀⇛ Google is pushing out Android 16 QPR2 Beta 3.1, a small but important patch for Pixel devices that were hit by bootloop issues following last week’s Beta 3 release. The earlier update had introduced a bug that caused phones to fail to boot if the “Enable desktop experience features” option was active in Developer Options. The patch is minimal at just 2.64MB on devices like the Pixel 9a, but crucial. It ensures those affected can recover without having to downgrade or perform a factory reset. Google’s instructions for users who ended up in a bootloop include letting the system automatically revert to Beta 2, sideloading the OTA if ADB debugging was enabled, or wiping data from Recovery mode. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3132 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/23/Modders_install_Bazzite_Linux_on_Microsoft_s_Xbox_Ally_for_a_be.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/23/Modders_install_Bazzite_Linux_on_Microsoft_s_Xbox_Ally_for_a_be.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Modders install Bazzite Linux on Microsoft’s Xbox Ally for a better experience⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 23, 2025, updated Oct 23, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Xbox_Ally⦈_ With the success of Valve’s Steam Deck, many brands have started eyeing a piece of the handheld cake, the latest of which is Microsoft with its ROG Xbox Ally, made in collaboration with Asus. Unlike the Steam Deck, the Xbox Ally uses Windows as its software base, offering a familiar interface for PC users. But, when it comes to performance and optimisation, Microsoft’s OS still has some way to go due to its years of accumulated bloat. In the meantime, YouTuber Cyber Dopamine decided to try Bazzite to see if there were any gains to be had. Linux-based Bazzite is a compatible OS similar to the one powering the Steam Deck, optimised and maintained by an enthusiastic community. Because of this, bugs and performance problems tend to quickly get fixed, resulting in a better overall experience. Read_on More in the following: * ⚓ Linux_Running_on_ASUS_ROG_Ally_X_Is_Seen_Running_Games_with_Higher Framerates_Than_Windows_in_Performance_Power_Mode⠀⇛ Youtuber Cyber Dopamine has tested Bazzite, a Linux distro, on the ASUS ROG Ally X with some impressive results in Performance power mode. While the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X has performed admirably with its custom-optimized version of Windows 11, it seems there’s still more performance that has been left on the table, and Bazzite is there to pick it up. This particular Linux distro has been designed for optimal performance on any device, from mobile to desktop and HTPCs, with a focus on Steam’s Proton build, but can be used to access other storefronts such as Epic, Rockstar, Ubisoft Connect, and more. * ⚓ The_Asus_Xbox_Ally_X_has_just_been_tested_with_Bazzite,_and_it basically_turns_it_into_a_supercharged_Steam_Deck⠀⇛ Owners of the new Asus Xbox Ally X handheld may not have to put up with the foibles of Windows that we noted in our Xbox Ally X review for much longer, as an alternative OS is already looking very promising.

An added challenge was that the teams were also tasked to have their tooling generate patches for the found problems, and the competitors could have a go to try to poke holes on the patches which if they were successful would lead to a reduced score for the patching team. * ⚓ Dayvi Schuster ☛ Why_Zig_+_Qt_Feels_Like_Doing_the_Impossible_Right⠀⇛ It’s no secret that I love Zig, and it’s also no secret that my favorite GUI framework by far is Qt. So naturally, when I discovered that there were Zig bindings for Qt I had to give it a try and build something with it. What I decided to build was a fairly rudimentary shopping list application, nothing fancy just one of my standard things I like to build when exploring a new GUI framework of any kind. Because a shopping list app is simple enough to not get in the way of learning the framework but also complex enough to cover a lot of the basic concepts that you’ll need to know when building a GUI application such as handling user input, displaying data, responding to different events, sorting and filtering the data and so on. * ⚓ Artyom Bologov ☛ Advanced_Self-Aware_ed(1)⠀⇛ Oh, right.

Over the past year, I’ve been doing this with the Go programming language. Here are some of my favorite lesser-known tidbits about the language. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_Move,_Destruct,_Forget,_and_Rust⠀⇛ This post presents a proposal to extend Rust to support a number of different kinds of destructors. This means we could async drop, but also prevent “forgetting” (leaking) values, enabling async scoped tasks that run in parallel à la rayon/libstd. We’d also be able to have types whose “destructors” require arguments. This proposal – an evolution of “must_move” that I’ll call “controlled destruction” – is, I think, needed for Rust to live up to its goal of giving safe versions of critical patterns in systems programming. As such, it is needed to complete the “async dream”, in which async Rust and sync Rust work roughly the same. o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_Explicit_capture_clauses⠀⇛ In my previous post about Ergonomic Ref Counting, I talked about how, whatever else we do, we need a way to have explicit handle creation that is ergonomic. The next few posts are going to explore a few options for how we might do that. This post focuses on explicit capture clauses, which would permit closures to be annotated with an explicit set of captured places. My take is that explicit capture clauses are a no brainer, for reasons that I’ll cover below, and we should definitely do them; but they may not be enough to be considered ergonomic, so I’ll explore more proposals afterwards.

These include supporting projects that are facing licensing challenges, collecting copyright assignments, and addressing GPL violations. In this session, though, there was really only one topic that the audience wanted to know about: the interaction between free-software licensing and large language models (LLMs). Anybody hoping to exit the session with clear answers about the status of LLM- created code was bound to be disappointed; the FSF, too, is trying to figure out what this landscape looks like. The organization is currently running a survey of free-software projects with the intent of gathering information about what position those projects are taking with regard to LLM-authored code. From that information (and more), the FSF eventually hopes to come up with guidance of its own. Nick Clifton asked whether the FSF is working on a new version of the GNU General Public License — a GPLv4 — that takes LLM-generated code into account. No license changes are under consideration now, Siewicz answered; instead, the FSF is considering adjustments to the Free Software Definition first. Siewicz continued that LLM-generated code is problematic from a free-software point of view because, among other reasons, the models themselves are usually non-free, as is the software used to train them. Clifton asked why the training code mattered; Siewicz said that at this point he was just highlighting the concern that some feel. There are people who want to avoid proprietary software even when it is being run by others.

Here's a list of everything that went wrong. # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Upgrading_your_Windows_laptop?_I_built_my_own_Linux machine_in_minutes_(and_you_can,_too)⠀⇛ There are a growing number of capable, budget- friendly Windows alternatives in 2025, but one of my top recommendations is the Framework Laptop 12, a modular, DIY 2-in-1 you can build yourself, supporting Linux or Windows out of the box. No matter which OS you choose, Framework 12's modular nature allows for a higher degree of customization than a stock laptop. In addition to the brand's standout colorways, unique build, and good durability, you can pick your own hardware, I/ O ports, and even how they're placed on the chassis. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ Intel_Nova_Lake_To_Boast_6th_Gen_NPU_As_Per Early_Linux_Kernel_Patch⠀⇛ Intel is aiming for a newer and better NPU for the upcoming Nova Lake CPU family and won't be relying on the same gen NPU as Panther Lake. Latest Linux Kernel Patch Reveals Nova Lake to Offer 6th Gen NPU for Improved AI Capabilities It's clear that Intel doesn't want to stick to the same gen NPU and wants to transition to a newer NPU on every successive generation. Even the Core Ultra 200V, i.e., Lunar Lake, brought a newer gen NPU vs Arrow Lake despite the fact that both launched around the same time frame. Arrow Lake, on the other hand, utilized the same Gen 3 NPU or NPU3 as found on Meteor Lake CPUs, but Intel transitioned to a newer NPU4 on the Lunar Lake processors. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ XDA ☛ I_turned_Kali_Linux_into_a_home_networking_multi- tool⠀⇛ When you think of Kali Linux, it's quick to assume this is just a hacker's toolkit with all the necessary apps to pen-test and do other things you may not require on a home local area network (LAN). But I think otherwise. If you wish to test your home network for vulnerabilities and ensure you've configured everything correctly, you'll want to use something that a malicious actor may have access to. I view Kali Linux as the perfect base for creating the ultimate home network multi-tool. I have an old mini PC doing a solid job collecting dust, and I felt it was time for a new lease of life. With this compact system and a fresh install of Kali Linux, I created the Swiss Army knife for home networking, allowing me to fire up up for diagnostics, monitoring, automation, and security, all while learning in the process. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ MariaDB_launches_unified_cloud_database platform_for_agentic_Hey_Hi_(AI)_development⠀⇛ Database management system provider MariaDB plc announced today that it’s launching a unified cloud platform designed to aid in the rapid development of next-generation artificial intelligence applications. o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ TechRepublic ☛ Top_Free_Alternatives_to_Abusive_Monopolist Microsoft_Word_You_Should_Try_in_2025⠀⇛ If you're tired of paying for Abusive Monopolist Microsoft Office features you don't use, here are free alternatives to Word you can download and start using today. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ KDAB ☛ Understanding_Type-Based_Alias_Analysis_in_C_and C++⠀⇛ Type systems do more than just catch errors - they guide compiler optimizations too.

This means that the Ubuntu 26.04 LTS builds are powered by Linux kernel 6.17 and use the GNOME 49 desktop environment. Like all previous Ubuntu releases, the Resolute Raccoon series will have a six- month-long development cycle, during which the daily build ISOs will be updated with many highly anticipated GNU/Linux technologies, such as the upcoming Mesa 25.3 graphics stack, Linux kernel 6.19, and GNOME 50 desktop environment.

That's the best way to describe this multi-upgrade journey. Read all my upgrade articles written in the past decade and watch how the problems pile up. From smooth, zero-issue procedures to an accumulation of punishment. Missing programs, messed up repo sources, missing configurations, straight-up botched upgrade due to screen lock problems. The interactiveness of it, where you must sit and answer pointless questions, whether you want to keen a maintainer's config version for some file titled whateverd.conf. I am trying to understand the root cause of all this mess. I think it's a combination of apathy and obvious lack of deep, thorough testing. The whole move-fast-sprint nonsense is just that. Absolute nonsense. Operating systems are becoming worse (not just Linux), and it all comes down to hyperactive busybody coding for the sake of it, without any real added value, without product in mind, without beauty, art or philosophy. There you go. I hope you enjoyed this article. I sure didn't.
