Damn. This quote from Linus Torvalds is... well... damning.

In response to a discussion around use of generative AI as it relates to contributions to the Linux code base, Linus (creator and lead contributor to Linux) firmly states that AI contributions are welcome.

But then he goes on and concludes with this:

"The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.

Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.

This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.

In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.

And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.

Linus"

A lot of us are on Linux specifically because of the social and political positives. Closed source is control. Open source is democracy.

Linus doing the typical tech-bro "i don't think of politics, I only think of tech" harkens back to any number of "science without ethics" atrocities.

Linus is and has always been a tech-bro (or proto tech bro). He has his throne of power and is happy where he is. Other tech-bros want money and influence. They're all the same.

But Linus is wrong.

Tech is politics.

And his stance and guiding influence with Linux is wrong.

Linus just made a political statement and has shifted the politics and societal approach of Linux.

Just chipped in $15 to The NetBSD Foundation! 🧡🚩

One of the biggest advantages of NetBSD right now is their strict policy against accepting LLM-generated code commits. For a FOSS operating system, this is a massive win. It protects code provenance, avoids copyright pollution, and ensures every line is purposefully crafted and reviewed by actual humans.

If you value clean, human-driven open-source development, join me in supporting them!

🦊⏱️ Firefox va testa un ciclu de lansare de două săptămâni începând din septembrie

Mozilla se pregătește să schimbe viteza în ceea ce privește dezvoltarea browserului său web. Începând cu luna septembrie, Firefox va experimenta un ciclu de lansare accelerat de doar două săptămâni, reducând la jumătate perioada actuală de patru săptămâni dintre versiunile majore.

Această decizie experimentală are ca scop aducerea mult mai rapidă a funcțiilor noi, a optimizărilor și a patch-urilor de securitate către utilizatori, adaptând browserul la ritmul alert al web-ului modern.

Iată detaliile cheie ale acestei inițiative anunțate de Mozilla:

🔹 De ce trece Firefox la un ritm de 2 săptămâni?
În prezent, Firefox urmează un ciclu de lansare stabil de 4 săptămâni (introdus în 2020, după ce anterior fusese de 6-8 săptămâni). Trecerea la un interval de 2 săptămâni oferă mai multe avantaje strategice:

Feedback rapid: Dezvoltatorii pot testa funcții noi pe un public larg mult mai repede și pot ajusta codul în funcție de răspunsul utilizatorilor.

Securitate sporită: Patch-urile pentru vulnerabilități și corecțiile de bug-uri nu vor mai trebui să aștepte o lună întreagă sau să fie livrate prin versiuni punctuale (ex: .0.1), ci vor fi integrate nativ în fluxul principal mult mai des.

Livrări mai mici și mai sigure: Lansările mai frecvente înseamnă că fiecare actualizare va conține mai puține schimbări masive de cod deodată, reducând riscul ca un update să „strice” funcționalități majore sau extensii.

🔹 Cum va funcționa faza de testare?
Experimentul va începe în luna septembrie și se va desfășura pe o perioadă determinată pentru a evalua impactul asupra ecosistemului:

Faza pilot va viza inițial versiunile de testare (cum ar fi Firefox Beta sau Developer Edition) și anumite grupuri de utilizatori de pe canalul stabil.

Mozilla va monitoriza îndeaproape stabilitatea browserului, feedback-ul comunității și, extrem de important, telemetria legată de performanță și consumul de resurse.

Dacă testul se va dovedi un succes și nu va suprasolicita echipele de dezvoltatori și translatorii, acest ritm accelerat ar putea deveni noul standard permanent pentru Firefox.

🔹 Provocările noului ciclu accelerat:
Deși sună excelent pentru utilizatorii dornici de noutăți, această schimbare vine și cu provocări:

Presiune pe dezvoltatorii de extensii: Creatorii de add-on-uri va trebui să își testeze și să își actualizeze extensiile mult mai des pentru a asigura compatibilitatea.

Efort dublu de QA (Quality Assurance): Echipele de testare de la Mozilla vor avea la dispoziție doar jumătate din timp pentru a identifica bug-urile înainte ca o versiune să ajungă la publicul larg.

Distribuțiile Linux: Menținătorii de pachete pentru distribuții precum Debian, Ubuntu sau Fedora vor trebui să își adapteze scripturile de compilare și testare pentru a ține pasul cu ritmul alert de lansare.

Această mișcare îndrăzneață arată că Mozilla nu vrea doar să țină pasul cu rivalii bazați pe Chromium (Chrome, Edge), ci încearcă să creeze un model de dezvoltare extrem de dinamic și adaptabil pentru singurul browser major cu motor de randare independent (Gecko).

RT @PrismML: Heute kündigen wir Bonsai 27B an: das erste 27B-Modell, das auf einem Smartphone läuft. Bonsai 27B ist der neue multimodale Flaggschiff der Bonsai-Familie. Basierend auf Qwen3.6 27B bringt es eine neue Fähigkeitsebene für lokale KI: mehrstufiges Reasoning, strukturierte Werkzeugnutzung, Long-Context-Workflows und kohärente agentic loops. Bisher waren Modelle dieser Klasse für lokale Bereitstellungen unpraktikabel. Ein 27B-Modell belegt etwa 54 GB im 16-Bit-Format, und selbst eine starke 4-Bit-Variante ist rund 18 GB groß - zu groß für ein Smartphone und die meisten Laptops. Bonsai 27B ändert das. Es wird in zwei Varianten angeboten: • Ternary Bonsai 27B: 5,9 GB, 1,71 effektive Bits pro Gewicht, optimiert für Laptop-Qualität. • 1-bit Bonsai 27B: 3,9 GB, 1,125 effektive Bits pro Gewicht, optimiert für Smartphone-Fußabdruck. Alles wird heute unter der Apache 2.0-Lizenz quelloffen veröffentlicht.

In the entire history of #MinetestCTF, which developer has done so much alone while being in a poor sanctioned country under war with ruined economics? I live in #Iran.

#love and #conviction are so powerful. And they do amazing things despite all the odds. I am not the only example in #opensource. Actually the open source community has a good number of people like me.

(9) [Dev] Farooq (Master Patata) 10/07/2026, 16:04 " @change-log ping CTF updates (Part 1) * Show HP of teammates next to their nametag. Thanks to weruuu for the suggestion --Farooq * Show class of teammates next to their nametag after HP. Farooq * Show a skull above head of bountied players, only observable by enemies. Farooq * Raise the minimum player bounty from 5 to 12. This is for preventing players from abusing the bounty system to put skull on other players. --Farooq « Fix the bug that players can get score for digging the heal block after the match ends and before start of a new match. Thanks to birdlover for the bug report --Farooq * Change heal block digging reward to 20 + 1 point for each 3 healed HPs. For instance if the heal block has added 300 HP, the dig reward will be 20 + 300/3 = 120. --Farooq * Increase persist time of dropped items. Now it takes longer for them to vanish. --Farooq * Buff the scout's rifle in classes by decreasing fire interval and therefore increasing fire rate. Scout is an underpowered class. We are looking for ways to make it more balanced. Do /feedback if you want to comment. --Farooq * Stop the medkit heal process if the user digs or places a node. Thanks to keo20 for the bug report. -- Farooq * When healers healing each other, now more healers would get reward for the killscore. --Farooq

# [%lchange-log » 4 2S CTF updates (Part 2) « Improve lag problem when removing gun's scope. Thanks to keo20 for the report. --Farooq o Add new deadlier spikes: Mese spike(spike + 2 crystal), Diamond spike(spike + 2 dia), Double mese spike(mese spike + 2 crystal), Double diamond spike(dia spike + 2 dia). The only way to get them is crafting in nade fight and classes. --Farooq Players can now get their killscore announced "Loki has got +25 for killing you". You can disable it in the Settings. --Faroq o Minimum capture reward is now 25. Attempt reward is computed based on the current cap reward. -- Farooq o Make it possible to pick up items while holding a bandage. --Farooq o Add Super Bandage in Classes exclusive to medics. You can heal your teammates, and while healing them, others nearby get healed too. This includes yourself!. --Farooq * Make changes to how attempt reward is computed. If you time out while the enemy has your flag, you still get 1/2 of the capture reward. If the enemy hasn't got your flag, you get 1/3 capture reward. --Farooq o Optimize ALL PNG textures used in the game. This would mean faster load time for devices connecting to CTF for the first time. --Sheriff_U3 Fix color of flag drop message. —-astro-ctf « Reduce screen loading time to 3 seconds. --Nanowolf o Add a setting to auto-look at the killer. --Nanowolf e Fix the straw hat not being removed in game. --astro-ctf + Message #[&]¥change-log soe ee

UK digital sovereignty, if done right, could ensure we have a thriving software ecosystem.

Ecological digital sovereignty is where digital systems are diverse, interoperable, locally adaptable, and not controlled by any single point of power.

We must end the UK's digital subservience to US tech.

It has put the systems that underpin our public services and the State at risk of digital ransom from US powers of service withdrawal or data extraction.

We need a Digital Sovereignty strategy based on open source.

I've been using Cachet for our status page for a long time now but unfortunately it seems to keep getting abandoned and I don't have the skill (or the time) to try to fix the issues in the upstream version that keep causing glitches for us.

Has anyone got any recommendations for good self hosted status page software like Cachet that doesn't depend on being populated by automated monitoring data / similar. I just want a way to post the status myself and show an overview of the various services.
