Linux & Tech news 📰

What’s your opinion on this? Thanking the blue or black cause they would stand out so much. In the process of putting together a survival kit just in case. @Jernvrede personally this day and age I would consider “Prepper” a badge of honor.

Radio Joystick – 7330 by TNE :wink:

Apart from WWIII, a violent snowstorm or flash flood would be enough. Has the snow in the US melted yet? How many people are still without power and water?

We’re now in a kind of AI uncanny valley for developers. Sure, tools like Cursor can be genuinely helpful as glorified autocomplete and refactoring assistants, but marketing keeps insisting junior engineers can take whole projects from spec to shipping. When you start believing your own sizzle reel, you stop doing the tedious validation work that separates a demo from a deliverable.

Enough already. The hype has grown cold. Sarah Friar, OpenAI’s CFO, recently blogged that in 2026, its focus would be on “practical adoption.” Let’s see real-world practical results first, and then we can talk about practical AI adoption.

It would be interesting to see an actual GCN 1.0/1.1 APU running on Garuda. :grin:

It is not a news as such, but it is useful for people who hardly know Linux, like me :grimacing:, and it will appear in a search. I don’t know if putting it here is correct:

COSMIC Epoch 2 action items include:

  • Performance optimizations such as reactive rendering to significantly reduce CPU usage (60~80%) as well as multi-threaded image decoding and parallel GPU image uploads.

  • Window drop shadows for libcosmic.

  • Applet Settings

  • A Vulkan renderer for the COSMIC compositor. This Vulkan renderer is motivated in part for HDR and night light features.

  • Improvements to enhance the gaming experience.

  • A blur/frosted glass effect for windows with COSMIC compositor.

I get why there are doing these changes for KDE Linux but kwrite over kate, hows idea was that. I get kwrite is fundamentally simpler but it not all that professional looking or feeling. Of meany choices of theirs of late this rubs me the wrong way. I get that’s why there kde else where on other distros but it just gives more work if I want to set it up on a normal non tech users system. I am glad they got rid of the snap stuff though.

There’s nothing stopping you from installing kate, and feeling more @elite and professional.

Digital Independence Day, or DI.DAY (in Deutsche) for short, is a monthly movement that encourages people to ditch Big Tech services and switch to privacy-respecting alternatives.
