  • Boiling Steam ☛ The Fall of Rise of Industry 2

    No, I do not recommend Rise of Industry 2 in its current state, there are plenty of bugs, and poor design decisions to hinder your enjoyment of the game. I also find it hard to believe it will get better soon, as I did not see a clear roadmap during my time writing this, but I hope the devs, SomaSim, prove me wrong eventually. Note: They are different devs from the first game of the franchise, which I did not play, so I will not make comparisons. It is not common for me to start with the conclusion, and it is with heavy heart that I wrote it, as many devs put their labour and love on their projects that are not always successful. But there are many problems with the game in its current form, preventing anyone from endorsing it honestly.

    • Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2025/25

      Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

      Week 25 of 2025 brought us five snapshots — 0612, 0613, 0614, 0616, and 0617 — packed with updates and fixes from all corners of the project. It’s awesome to see everyone’s work coming together to keep things fresh and smooth. Let’s take a quick look at what landed this week and get ready to keep pushing openSUSE forward!

  • Fedora Family / IBM

    • Red Hat ☛ Unleashing multimodal magic with RamaLama [Ed: Red Hat pushing slop, hype, and nonsense]

      The world of Hey Hi (AI) is rapidly evolving, and with it, the need for flexible, powerful, and easily deployable models. At Red Hat, we're always looking for ways to empower developers to build the next generation of intelligent applications. That's why we're thrilled to highlight RamaLama's new multimodal feature, bringing cutting-edge vision-language models (VLMs) directly to your fingertips, seamlessly integrated with the power of containers.

  • Debian Family

    • LWN ☛ Tag2upload is now ready for experimentation

      Debian's long-awaited tag2upload service is now ready for Debian maintainers to use in some circumstances. Tag2upload makes it easier for maintainers to upload packages, by allowing them to push a signed Git commit that will automatically be picked up and built, instead of pushing a build from their local machine. LWN covered the discussion around the service in July of last year. With the timing of its readiness, it's likely to become more useful once Debian 13 ("trixie") is released.
