Why I Never Called the Serial Strangler From Microsoft a “Criminal”

bout 5+ years ago I began writing about the Serial Strangler From Microsoft. The strangulation is a documented fact (told by victims), as are the arrest and charges. He was brought to Court. He was not acquitted. He was never acquitted.

Explaining What Microsoft Did

bout 3 days ago I received a PDF of a submission made by a proponent of Microsoft-controlled Restricted Boot. I was unconvinced by what was said there, as it seemed like an appeal to emotion, not facts. If you spend decades promoting an American monopoly and undermining security, do you expect protection from critics? Do you even believe that critics are allowed to exist?

New Steam Client Update Introduces Linux 64-Bit Support, Steam Achievement Sets

The November 11th Steam Client update is the first stable release to run the Steam Client itself as a 64-bit application on Linux, rather than a 32-bit one. However, Steam installations will still download 32-bit libraries as part of the Steam Runtime, since Steam needs to be able to run the many 32-bit games in its catalog.

Ardour 9.10 Open-Source DAW Is Out with Live Gain Envelope Waveform Updates

Linux 6.0-rc4 (UPDATED)

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 04, 2022,
updated Sep 05, 2022

It's Sunday afternoon, which can only mean one thing - another rc
release. We're up to rc4, and things mostly still look fairly normal.

Most of the fixes the past week have been drivers (gpu, networking, gpio, tty, usb, sound.. a little bit of everything in other words). But we have the usual mix of fixes elsewhere too - architecture fixes (arm64, loongarch, powerpc, RISC-V, s390 and x86), and various other areas - core networking, filesystems, io_uring, LSM, selftests and documentation. Some of this is reverts of things that just turned out to be wrong or just not quite ready.
Please do go test, Linus
