Samsung could bring silicon-carbon batteries to Galaxy S27 series, but not all of them

Don't expect a huge capacity upgrade, while it's possible that at least one model won't get the feature.

Drei Fragen und Antworten: Wie KI wirklich bei der Schwachstellensuche hilft

Um KI erfolgreich in Code-Audits einzusetzen, ist die Wahl des Modells gar nicht so wichtig. Entscheidend ist der Workflow, damit man nicht in Funden versinkt.

My view on the recent Codeberg drama:

https://gagliardoni.net/#20260724_codeberg_drama

Codeberg voting members have the right to decide the policy of their association, and I understand if a community is averse to anything that is AI- or Web3-related. I understand it, but I don't agree with it, because it's 2026, and if you still think you can just stick your head in the sand and wish for these ugly bad things to go away, well, I have bad news for you.

To me, this is a perfect recipe to relegate Codeberg to irrelevance. And we are already seeing the beginning of a new exodus.

Here is my conspiracy theory: the vote was pushed or manipulated from the inside by Big Tech. Whether this is true or not, one thing is sure: folks at Microsoft, GitHub, OpenAI etc. are now popping champagne.

#codeberg #opensource #foss #floss #libre #ai #llm #web3 #blockchain #crypto #cryptocurrency #antiai #luddism #eu #bigtech #politics #tech #censorship #github #microsoft #openai

It's awesome that its so relatively convenient to stand up one's own #Codeberg instance. Have done so myself. It's an extremely reasonable server, as far as #OpenSource servers go. Codeberg's policy change doesn't bother me. They've left a profoundly generous "out", in that people can install their own instance free. They've even permitted the ability to fork. Thank you, Codeberg devs and other project contributors. Please don't listen to the ungrateful haters.

#openSource community:

If you move away from Big Tech because you want more freedom, transparency and arbitrary platform decisions…

Can (not may) a platform like #Codeberg decide which kinds of projects are welcome?

Or is that the 1st step onto a slippery slope where today’s “obvious” exclusions become tomorrow’s subjective ones?

Where do you draw the line between responsible stewardship and becoming the gatekeeper you wanted to escape? 🤔

Zusehen, wie der Rest der Welt günstigere Modelle mit gleicher oder besserer Intelligenz nutzt. 4. Feststellen, dass Distillation nicht magisch aufhörte, nur weil Washington eine Liste veröffentlichte. 5. Amerikanische Unternehmen weltweit weniger wettbewerbsfähig machen, während die Preise für normale Amerikaner steigen. 6. In der Zwischenzeit stoppen all dies nicht chinesische KI-Labore, die immer besser werden.

RT @Ainvest_Wire: DeepSeek's founder once ruled out funding, an IPO, and commercialization. This week DeepSeek closed its first outside round: over 50 billion yuan (~$7.4B) at a ~$54B pre-money valuation. Liang Wenfeng personally put in ¥20B, Tencent ¥10B, CATL ¥5B. A ~4-hour investor call with Liang just leaked (via Tencent Tech). The most striking things he said: 1/ On strategy "Restraint is a strategy. The one whose vision is to take more has already lost, and will be beaten by the one whose vision is to take less." "You don't run a big company with rules. You run it with vision. Vision isn't a slogan on the wall, it's how you actually operate." 2/ On the gap with the US "We're about two years behind, but we did it with one-twentieth of their compute. The goal now is to use a fraction of the compute and shrink the time gap to 3 to 6 months." "Talent isn't the bottleneck. Compute is." 3/ On Nvidia $NVDA "Nvidia's CUDA moat is being dismantled fast, because now AI can write the code to build the ecosystem." "On chips, Nvidia is digging its own grave. Four Huawei cards equal one Nvidia card. The only problem with domestic chips is capacity, not the ecosystem." 4/ On the other labs "Anthropic's first-mover lead is real, but it won't last. OpenAI and Google will keep trading places." "OpenAI thought it could monopolize the world. It will meet many challengers, including from China, because Chinese firms are willing to take less." 5/ On price and open source "Chinese AI will be systematically cheaper, the same way Chinese goods are." "Our strongest model will be open-sourced too. I see no benef…

RT @SchmidhuberAI: Ich unterstütze Open-Source-Modelle, die das distillieren, was kommerzielle Unternehmen kostenlos aus dem gesamten Internet distilliert haben. Ich veröffentlichte Distillation im Jahr 1991 kostenlos in Europa - dies wurde in den USA und in China kopiert (nitter.net/SchmidhuberAI/status/1…) Direktor Michael Kratsios (@mkratsios47) Wir haben Informationen, dass Moonshot AI Anthropic's Fable für die Entwicklung seines K3-Modells distilliert hat. Dafür entwickelte sie eine ausgefeilte interne Plattform, um großflächige Distillation gegen US-Modelle durchzuführen, was ihnen ermöglichte, schnell zwischen mehreren Zugriffsarten zu wechseln, um Entdeckungen zu vermeiden. Moonshot AI hat auch GB300-ausgestattete Server erworben und GB300s in Thailand genutzt, wahrscheinlich um ihre KI-Modelle zu trainieren. Die Vereinigten Staaten unterstützen stark die freie und faire Entwicklung von KI, einschließlich eines blühenden wettbewerbsfähigen Ökosystems, das Front-Modell-Systeme, spezialisierte Systeme, Open-Source-Frameworks und Open-Weight-Modelle umfasst. Legitime KI-Distillation zur Erstellung kleinerer, effizienterer Modelle spielt eine wichtige Rolle in diesem offenen Innovationsökosystem. Allerdings ist großflächige, verdeckte industrielle Distillation, die darauf abzielt, proprietäre US-Technologie zu stehlen und amerikanische Forschung zu untergraben, inakzeptabel. — https://nitter.net/mkratsios47/status/2079933645888880708#m

FreeBSD 15 + CDE is probably the closest you can get to sitting in front of a high-end UNIX workstation without owning a time machine.

Running Common Desktop Environment in 2026 feels strangely refreshing. No blur effects, no Electron, no notifications fighting for attention, No ai written code, just Motif, terminals, man pages, and a desktop paradigm that was already mature before I was born.

Current setup: • FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE • CDE • dtwm • bhyve • Motif everywhere

Today’s activity: reading bhyve(4) manuals and pretending I'm a UNIX admin in 1996.

https://www.xda-developers.com/codeberg-takes-its-side-in-the-open-source-scenes-ai-debate-by-banning-vibe-coded-projects/

Codeberg bans AI-slop.
they aren't banning the use of AI-tools in coding, or any & all AI code, but apps that seem to be mostly vibe-coded will not be allowed on the site

#OpenSource #AI #Codeberg #Programming

@pedersen The maintainer staying true to his vision for decades is rather amazing. He really figured he could take on the world: create a new object-oriented programming language, thumb his nose at SQL, compete with MS Access and Delphi, and make something #OpenSource. That's a lot of big visions all at once.

@pedersen I sincerely wish the #OpenSource world could make something like Delphi or Lazarus (and is #Linux-first). Something that works in #Wayland, and something that uses a modern native GUI widget set. Something that plays nice with #Debian packaging (and isn't just a #Docker container with a bunch of node.js, sketchy-to-secure muck shoveled into it).

It's those "opinionatednesses" I would target today.

IMHO: This is a larger mission that only someone wealthy enough (and Linux-friendly enough) like #RaspberryPi could do, but they have bigger fish to fry: for example the industrial and military markets.

@Codeberg Hackernews called it, the internet delivered: https://vibeberg.org/

🤣

#lol #vibecoding #vibeberg #codeberg #forgejo #thatescalatedquickly #llm #ai #fossdrama #foss #opensource

TIL there is a very longstanding attempt to make something similar to MS Access and Delphi (so-called "integrated application platforms"), but #OpenSource . It's called "Suneido". It has several strong opinions (that are quite idiosyncratic today), making it less palatable to most #Linux geeks, but it's still alive and kicking, barely (thanks to the original author, Andrew McKinlay of Axon Development Corp).

Strange opinions it has, which made sense about 27 years ago:
- SQL isn't good enough, better to make something even better than SQL. So it uses a tightly-integrated relational database, but it isn't SQL (just like MS Access doesn't use SQL either).
- Windows is good enough; Suneido isn't really cross platform to Unix-like operating systems
- was partial to C++ at first, but then made its own object-oriented language (the Suneido Programming Language).
- did a rewrite, is now Go-based, but its own language (the Suneido Programming Language) is still used to write applications.

The Go-based rewrite, which has no documentation or website of its own:

And now, after banning vaguely-defined "LLM-generated code", Codeberg bans cryptocurrency projects. Discussion:

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1254

The specific ban is for "Content that harms the reputation of Codeberg, such as cryptocurrency related projects".

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/commit/f383b648fd733ab88083dc390b91e77cd7589980

I think the reputation of Codeberg has been now harmed enough. When I originally escaped GitHub, I chose Codeberg exactly for the ethical stance and values. For me, anti-censorship is a non-negotiable ethical value. The folks at Codeberg have the right to run their org as they want. However, having now shown that they consider "censorship" good when it's about things they dislike, this made clear that their values and mine are not compatible (even if I dislike those same things, mind you).

Supporters of this ban say that this "draws a line", that "is not meant to be applied blanket-wide to all projects, only those which are harmful to the community", as if having constantly to worry about the next mood swing of Codeberg voting members were an acceptable Sword of Damocles for any reputable project. What's next? Banning US users? Banning software aligned with "capital-fascist" values? Open-source banking/wallet apps? Quantum computing tools? Robotics?

I'm moving off Codeberg, probably to Radicle. But I feel a bit sad, because Codeberg had the potential, in my opinion, to become the European alternative to GitHub, and they have made clear that they are not ready nor willing to become so. Which is fine: software is political, and everyone has the right to express their political stance.

But we still desperately need an alternative to GitHub.

[Decentralized, federated platform for dog owners]

I haven’t been able to get this idea out of my head for a while now. 😩😁

Why are there centralized platforms for dog owners—but no open, decentralized alternative? 🤔

What if clubs, animal shelters, dog training schools, or local communities could run their own instances while still being interconnected, based on ActivityPub, similar to the Fediverse? 😃

Possible features could include:
🐶 Dog profiles
🚶 Walks & meetups
📍 Dog parks & local spots
⚠️ Poisoned bait and hazard alerts
🔎 Missing & found dogs

The focus would be on data sovereignty, local communities, and open standards instead of a centralized platform. 😉

Attached is a preliminary concept diagram to make the idea more tangible.

I’d be interested to know:
Would you use something like this, or even help build it? ⁉️ 🙄

Infographic in DIN A4 format titled “Dog Network – Decentralized. Local. For Dogs and Their Owners.” The infographic visualizes the concept of a decentralized dog platform based on ActivityPub. At the center, a network diagram connects several independent communities (e.g., animal shelters, dog training schools, local communities, or breed groups) that communicate with one another via a federated infrastructure. On the right, a smartphone app with a map view is shown as an example. Surrounding it are potential features: dog profiles, walks and meetups, warnings about hazards and poisoned bait, dog parks and local spots, missing or found dogs, as well as groups and discussion forums. Other sections explain data protection, data sovereignty, self-hosting, open-source technologies, and an optional, privacy-friendly meeting mode that uses intentionally imprecise location data. The design primarily uses shades of green and natural tones, featuring illustrations of dog owners, dogs, maps, and network symbols. The graphic serves as an initial concept sketch and does not represent a finished product or final design.
