More surprising is that it's taken ~4 years for these Linux kernel patches to materialize with Zen 3 having first debuted in late 2020.

Reminder: Linux kernel funding is 2% of the Linux foundation's 200M$/year budget.

Interesting, thank you. I was unfamiliar with the term "boost" and thought it was a new Lemmy feature. After rereading it's a mastodon feature.

Now, if Lemmy could create posts/yoos on mastodon, that would be amazing!

Wasn't there a recent article by 404media that the Chinese government has access to nearly all conversations on SS7 (the telephony protocol IINM)? There's also an explanation on Veritasium's channel about how it works and how insecure the protocol is. A French and German researcher explain and show how easy it is to take over someone's number

What do you mean? Boosting? Is there a new feature I'm not aware of?

Getting ever closer to "if you want to game on a Mac, install Linux". Great work by the Asahi Linux contributors!

Linux on more devices and associated with gaming is great. If it gets to the point where they work together with AlienWare to make gaming rigs powered by SteamOS, or even produce something together with Lenovo, HP, or Dell, and make it available in retailers, maybe then we'll finally see it enter more people's homes.

Android is Linux, but it's so heavily modified that it's a case of Theseus's ship.

Many people use LLMs to parse documentation? Is that really the case?

yeah the concept is great, but open sourcing often takes a lot of work

Why do you say that?

closed source code often relies on proprietary libraries etc

I don't see how that matters. If you write code that depends on something and opensource it, your product might not be buildable/compilable/usable without it, but your code is still opensource, and that's what matters. The same thing will go for the library: if the person/company that made the library stops supporting it, it has to become opensource as well.

or perhaps there are secrets embedded somewhere - even it source control history

That's up to you to clean it up. It's just like publishing any repository online.

Many might've seen the Australian ban of social media for <16 y.o with no idea of how to implement it. There have been mentions of "double blind age verification", but I can't find any information on it.

Out of curiosity, how would you implement this with privacy in mind if you really had to?

Qualcomm engineering director Trilok Soni recently confirmed that the company's Linux team published Linux kernel updates for the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Qualcomm unveiled the SoC earlier this month, targeting a new generation of flagship phones and tablets supporting Android and Linux.

 

Scientist Jim Wild has traveled to the Arctic Circle numerous times to study the northern lights, but on Thursday night he only needed to look out of his bedroom window in the English city of Lancaster.

 

Black holes the size of an atom that contain the mass of an asteroid may fly through the inner solar system about once a decade, scientists say. Theoretically created just after the big bang, these examples of so-called primordial black holes could explain the missing dark matter thought to dominate our universe. And if they sneak by the moon or Mars, scientists should be able to detect them, a new study shows.

 
 

Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

 

These findings may also explain the "missing plastic problem" that has puzzled scientists, where about 70% of the plastic litter that has entered the oceans cannot be found. The team hypothesizes that coral may be acting as a "sink" for microplastics by absorbing it from the oceans. Their findings were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.

 
 

A new study from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers, along with researchers from the Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris at the University of Paris Cité, has found that the increase in soil erosion in coastal areas due to desertification is worsening flood impacts on Middle Eastern and North African port cities.

Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.
