We get into the process of working on and with formal protocol specifications, something Andy is familiar with from his work on Matrix.

Is anyone surprised by this? #linux

"… Regardless of how this will eventually materialize, the direction is clear, Android isn’t going to be a viable long-term platform for FOSS software, not even in its Google-free form. I have mostly considered it a stop-gap solution until Linux on the phone is ready anyway, so this is another reason to increase the effort into that direction."

So awesome to see all the improvements to #linux support in @homebrew - numbers keep climbing let's gooooooooo!

PSA regarding a change in how Secure Boot will work in Fedora soon. The change isn't urgent, but it is something you should take a look at.

My parents were at lunch with some friends they haven't seen in years. It seems they too have been moved to linux by their children. To me that is the real tell of Linux desktops having reached maturity.

Anyone know why using sftp with Dolphin in Plasma is so slow in Alpine Linux?

Using Debian, doing the same thing is like greased lightning.

It's not network, ssh/scp/rsync/sftp command line works wicked fast between hosts with Alpine.

Something about Alpine and Plasma it seems. This has been an on-going thing.

Anyone know a workaround, beside using a different protocol I mean? This should "just work" like on other distros.

I'm using from a while the F2FS filesystem for storage USB key and SSD.I'm sure few heard of it, it promises better transfer rate, reliability and less wear on these supports, and it keeps the promises! Also, no issues to transfer thousands of small files in one go than what I had with EXT or FAT.
Cons: common devices don't support it. But if you have need to move files between two Linux/BSD machines or a backup disk, is excellent.

CLI tools can be faster for commonly-used commands .

My favorite dotfile manager to sync personal config files between machines is YADM... because there's so little to learn. It's basically `git` for dotfiles, where the files are edited in place. There's no extra symlinking or deploy step, just yadm commit/push/pull. Easy!

For edge cases of different settings on different machines, it supports templates and alternates.

An unsupervised agentic AI system working through compromised devs credentials (account) successfully altered bugs & pushed unverified code into multiple open source projects, including Fedora #Linux Anaconda installer. This rogue AI agent appears to have used a trusted open source contributor account over to submit bugs with backdoor & overwhelming maintainers & increasing the risk of deliberate supply chain compromises on FLOSS

Source: https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1077035/c7e7c14fbd60fae9/ Title: AI agent runs amok in Fedora and elsewhere [LWN subscriber-only content] Author and Date of publishing: Joe Brockmeier | June 10, 2026 Description: Agentic AI systems can be used to do a variety of things autonomously on behalf of a human user: open or manage bugs, generate code, submit pull-requests, and (apparently) even complain about rejection. In May, a Fedora developer discovered that an allegedly rogue agent had been pestering the project in a number of ways: reassigning bugs, fabricating unhelpful replies to bugs, and even persuading maintainers to merge questionable code into the Anaconda installer. It also submitted a number of pull requests (PRs), some accepted, to several upstream projects. The Fedora account associated with the agent has had its group privileges revoked and the messes have been mopped up, but the motive behind the agent's actions is still a mystery. Go here https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1077035/c7e7c14fbd60fae9/ to read full story.

Linux nostalgia as a design choice is never not cool. I dig all the attention to detail, like Pidgin being a social feed and the blog archives being navigable via Nautilus.

God damn. Gnome's "activities" overview remains absolutely genius design. You tap *one* button, and you have access to 95% of what you use on a regular basis. It's sad that other desktop environments don't have this.

A Gnome desktop with "activities" revealed. There is a desktop window slightly shrunken, in the centre of the screen, a series of desktop thumbnails across the top, and a "dash" with frequently used programmes along the bottom. One button reveals your whole computer.
