Rodrigo Arias Mallo, maintainer of the Dillo web browser, has written a blog post with a proposal on one way to ensure that a contribution is written by a human and not AI; he suggests asking new contributors to record their programming session using asciinema. In the same way that LLMs generate patches, they can also generate the asciinema recordings themselves. Then, the contributors can lie to the reviewers pretending to have made the edits. Perhaps surprisingly, this is not a easy task for LLMs, at least from my observations. The corpus of recordings of developers making mistakes and thinking the whole process of editing a file is not as large as the corpus of FOSS programs and patches in which to train an LLM. During my very simple tests I haven't been able to generate an asciinema session that remotely resembles what I would expect from a human, and even less so from a human with a nice editor theme and editing an existing Dillo source file. The Dillo project is not yet requiring
The Raspberry Pi 6 is unlikely to be released until 2028 and it won’t feature an onboard NPU for AI compute when it arrives – two details shared by the company’s engineers in Reddit last week. Three Raspberry Pi engineers held an AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit on 21 May, 2026. During it they provided some insight into their plans for the Pi 6 and when we can expect it to hit the market. Based on past launch dates, the gap between major Pi models (Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and 5) is around 3-4 years. The Raspberry Pi 5 […]

by George Whittaker The GNOME Project has officially opened the development cycle for GNOME 51, the next major release of one of Linux’s most widely used desktop environments. Following the recent launch of GNOME 50 “Tokyo,” developers are already shifting focus toward the next chapter of the desktop’s evolution, which will carry the codename “A Coruña.” While it’s still very early in the process, the release schedule is now taking shape, giving Linux users and developers an early look at what to expect over the coming months. GNOME 51 “A Coruña” Is Now in Development The new release is named A Coruña, after the Spanish city that will host GUADEC 2026, the annual GNOME Users and Developers European Conference. The event serves as one of the most important gatherings for GNOME contributors, where future desktop plans, technologies, and development priorities are discussed. As soon as GNOME 50 was finalized, development work for GNOME 51 officially began, continuing GNOME’s well-establis
Some decisions look small from the outside. You open a document, you download a file, you tell yourself, Today is the day! But sometimes that quiet moment changes everything. For me, it happened on a November morning in Warsaw. I ... Read more The post Sudo Apt-Get: Viktoriia’s Linux Essentials Preparation Story appeared first on Linux Professional Institute (LPI).

Curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg writes about the stress of keeping up with the current flood of security reports. This is a never-before seen or experienced pressure on the curl project and its security team members. An avalanche of high priority work that trumps all other things in the project that is primarily mental because we certainly could ignore them all if we wanted, but we feel a responsibility, we have a conscience and we are proud about our work. We feel obliged to fix security problems in the software we have helped shipped to every device on the globe. This is personal to us. With about half the release cycle left until the pending release ships, we already have twelve confirmed vulnerabilities meaning twelve pending CVE announcements. That's a new project record and it also means we will reach thirty published CVEs in 2026 even before half the calendar year has passed. The projected total amount of curl CVEs published through the whole year is therefore at least double th
