He had an advantage, he trusts humans
We didn’t start this
Lazy Panda still open
t is a matter of public record (as of today) that another Order was issued. It was issued by the joint head of the media and communications list at the UK’s High Court. As is already known to the opposing party, we’re not unrepresented in the case because of Legal Aid and pro bono advice from a “leading specialist in defamation, privacy, and data protection law.”
Gettint cold, sun low
Hard to pretend it ain’t happening
“Up” is elusive
Will Reform UK disband this year, then reappear in a new shell?
Coming a month after GStreamer 1.28.7, the GStreamer 1.28.8 release is a small update that adds support for reading AAF AIFF-AIFC audio to the MXF demuxer, improves AMD AMF AV1 video encoder force-keyframe, adds Windows media audio/video seeking improvements, and brings hlssink3 improvements.
Coming almost two months after Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0.11, the Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0.12 release improves the embedded Raspberry Pi network installer with support for waiting for a usable IP address rather than just a link being up, which previously caused slow-negotiating PHYs like the Raspberry Pi 5 Rev 1.2’s MXL86110 to be missed entirely at first poll.
COSMIC 1.10 comes two weeks after COSMIC 1.9 with support for mapping drawing tablets to specific displays, support for setting environment variables in ~/.config/environment.d, support for using custom SSH agents, and support for remembering sort options in file open/save dialogs.
Blender 5.3 looks like another solid update that promises to finally enable the Vulkan backend by default on Linux, replacing the OpenGL backend, with the minimum Vulkan requirements being lowered to Vulkan 1.1 and some GPU/driver features made optional to support more devices.
Coming a month after KDE Gear 26.08.1, the KDE Gear 26.08.2 update is here to fix poorly legible selection text with certain styles and color schemes, keep the style chosen for a special folder, and refresh the default zoom level when previews are toggled in the Dolphin file manager.
The Ubuntu Summit 26.10 event will take place next month, November 12-13, 2026. Ubuntu Summit is Ubuntu’s biggest event of the year, where developers and users gather together to discuss the features of the next major version of Ubuntu, attend various workshops, and see presentations of all kinds of products.
Coming a month after OpenVPN 2.7.7, the OpenVPN 2.7.8 release makes certificate validation stricter regarding NULL bytes in strings, which might break existing installations if such certificates exist and OpenSSL builds are used, and updates the OpenSSL builds to use the last field when handling certificates with duplicate fields.
Coming a month after NVIDIA 615.71.09, which was the first release in the NVIDIA 615 series, the NVIDIA 615.78.08 update enables the NVreg_UseKernelSuspendNotifiers=1 option by default, and adds support for revision 3 of the VK_NV_low_latency2 Vulkan extension to improve latency and stutter with vkd3d-proton, particularly when Frame Generation is enabled.
The fixes include CVE-2026-88812, an XKB SetGeometry TextDoodad double free that can lead to heap corruption, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution or denial of service (crash), and CVE-2026-93515, a present extension cross-window notify use-after-free that can lead to denial of service (crash) or potentially information disclosure.
This is the moment for aspiring artists and designers who want to display their work in front of millions of Debian users to submit their best artwork for the upcoming Debian 14 (codename Forky – continuing the “Toy Story” naming) operating system series, due for release in mid-2027.
IBASE has announced the IB966, a 3.5-inch SBC based on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” processors, with up to 180 TOPS of aggregate AI performance, 128GB of DDR5-7200 memory, dual 2.5GbE and three M.2 slots.
Hellomatik has published a study and a modified distributed-llama implementation for running the Qwen3-30B-A3B language model across four Raspberry Pi 5 boards. Using only the boards’ Arm Cortex-A76 CPUs, the cluster reached a reported decode throughput of 15.143 tokens per second, without GPU or NPU acceleration or CPU overclocking.
