Copy Fail, Dirty Frag, and Fragnesia kernel vulnerabilities – Gentoo Linux

News and information from Gentoo Linux

Meine Forschungen zu #linux nehmen eine unerwartete Wendung. Dank @343max bin ich auf @AsahiLinux aufmerksam geworden und es läuft auf einem 350€ #MacBookAir M1 AppleSilicon aka „bestes Laptop der Welt“ ziemlich phantastisch. Auch mein Respekt vor #KDE wächst dabei. Hier ein erster Bericht in der @freakshow
Noch muss ich Details erkunden aber #LinuxOnAir wird eine Bewegung. Mark my words.

FS307 Die Null verwirrt alle

Feedback — Computerkauf — Linux on Air — Age of Ultra — Donut Batterie — Mythos — Fahrradklau — 3D Drucker Heute ganz viel Feedback, weil wir letztes Mal wieder so viel Unsinn erzählt haben. Also fügen wir dem neuen Unsinn hinzu. Ralf berichtet von seinen jüngsten Erforschungen der Linuxwelt, seinem zaghaften Vorstoss in die Welt der 3D-Drucker und wie der fünfte Diebstahl eines seiner Fahrräder dieses Mal abgelaufen ist. Dazu diskutieren wir die Auswirkungen von AI auf Security, ob Donut seine Batterie noch mal an den Start bekommt und diversen anderen Tünkram.

someone hasn’t thought applying display scaling in macos recovery through.

This the result with an 13-inch FullHD display

the moral arguments against using AI for open source development are just too large to ignore.

Our entire ecosystem is on the line here. Not just the open source ecosystem, but the entire, global ecosystem. And I feel there’s not enough voices speaking up about it.

Make your voice heard! Allow yourself to be angry; there’s enough nonsense going out there! We need to stop this madness.

Open Source and AI

More and more frequently, I get asked about my stance on AI in the context of programming. This is my attempt to summarize my stance for those who wonder.

Apparently chardet got Claude to rewrite the entire codebase from LGPL to MIT?

https://github.com/chardet/chardet/releases/tag/7.0.0

That is one way to launder GPL code I guess?

Release 7.0.0 · chardet/chardet

Ground-up, MIT-licensed rewrite of chardet. Same package name, same public API — drop-in replacement for chardet 5.x/6.x. Just way faster and more accurate! Highlights: MIT license (previous versi...

A bit of measuring and finding the matching radius and visual path to cover the cutout and voila!

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/gmobile/-/merge_requests/104

data: Add cutout for apple,j414s (MacBook Pro 14-inch, M2 Pro, 2023) (!104) · Merge requests · World / Phosh / gmobile · GitLab

Had no data source, so visually verified and tuned with export G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS=/mobi/phosh/gmobile/devices/display-panels=/my/path/to/json/

GitLab

Sent the display notch cutout description file for the MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 14").

It would be nice if, at some point, the GNOME desktop (e.g., Mutter/GNOME Shell) could work with this information and adjust UI elements accordingly. Soon, there will be more and more devices with display cutouts.

There’s already amazing work by Phosh e.V. on this, so hopefully feature parity will come soon!
