Best let Rocky and Alma know too – and OEL so all the enterprise ones are covered.

So this is only exploitable if the attacker already has a unpriviledged account?

Knusper, in Ubuntu Budgie switches its approach to Wayland

I still remember when the Budgie lead dev announced moving to EFL and my gut reaction from having used Enlightenment was just “Are you sure about this?”.

Like, I kind of love Enlightenment. It’s weird and flashy. It has this quality of a mad genius just pouring their soul into it. But it also does crash a lot. The individual components of it, that is. I guess, the linked EFL rant explains that one.

But yeah, the Budgie lead dev explained that they don’t want to continue working with the GNOME devs, nor want to use Qt, so there weren’t that many mature frameworks left to pick from.
It’s unfortunate that they feel forced to continue working with the GNOME devs…

This just seems to be an opinionated Fedora SilverBlue. Could I not replicate this with a DNF repo script?

thankfully, i can’t afford anything over an 8 core CPU

Apollo2323, in Ubuntu Is Withholding Security Patches for Universe Software

I think the title is misleading , because Ubuntu is not withholding the security patches , it just made you believe they are so they can get you to sign up for Ubuntu Pro.

OsrsNeedsF2P, in The Linux kernel has been accidentally hardcoded to a maximum of 8 cores for the past 15 years and nobody noticed

From HN:

This article is clickbait and in no way has the kernel been hardcoded to a maximum of 8 cores. If you read the commit [0], you can see, that a /certain/ scaling factor for scheduling can scale linearly or logarithmically with the number of cores and for calculating this scaling factor, the number is capped to 8. This has nothing to do with the number of cores that can actually be used.

Thank you for clarification. I just use RSS feed from HN not the actual site, so I don’t see the comments.

sagrotan, in Redhat once featured a 'redneck' language in the installer
@sagrotan@lemmy.world avatar

I actually remember the installer. I also remember Suse Linux on A LOT of CD-ROMs, the holy knoppix CD for emergencies, my oldest Unix memory is my cousin installing something from hundreds of cassettes while telling very young me a bunch of tech gibberish while I was watching his hamster die in super slomo - they called it “babysitting” and I actually took the “baby” part personal… Damn, I’m old.

Windex007, in Ubuntu 23.10 is a smidge smaller, a bit snappier, and has some desktop upgrades

www.phoronix.com/news/Ubuntu-23.10-Recalled

If you downloaded it recently you may have the Ubuntu 23.10 smaller, snappier, w/ a little bit of hate speech version.

AbidingOhmsLaw, in Ubuntu 23.10 is a smidge smaller, a bit snappier, and has some desktop upgrades
