We decided years ago we wouldn't launch a #Cardano Native Token unless we had an actual application for it. We're getting close to a beta release of that application so we're hoping our PR to a certain Github repo gets accepted! pool.pm/asset1ha4ez4h4gundys… github.com/cardano-foundatio…

GeoLibre v1.3.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. One application that runs everywhere: in your web browser, as a native desktop app, on your phone, and inside a Jupyter notebook. No account, no server, no cost. Everything runs locally and your data stays private. This release packs in 50 pull requests of new capabilities. A few highlights: - GIS in your pocket. A native Android build with offline tile caching and download-a-region support, so you can take your maps into the field with no signal. - AI, built in. A natural-language GIS assistant that turns plain-English requests into real geoprocessing, plus an AI segmentation toolbox powered by SamGeo and SAM 3 for extracting features from imagery. - Automate everything with Python. A full scripting API and an in-app Python Console, with new helpers for local rasters, choropleths, marker clusters, split-map comparisons, legends, and colorbars. - Map together, live. Real-time multi-user collaboration so you can open a project and edit the map with others at the same time. - Tell stories with maps. A scroll-driven story map builder and presenter that exports interactive narrative maps to standalone HTML. - A much bigger analysis toolbox. Reproject, explode, and aggregate tools, IDW and kriging interpolation, zonal statistics, a raster calculator, a Spatial Statistics toolbox, and network analysis with isochrones, service areas, and OD cost matrices, plus batch runs and model/pipeline chaining. - Smarter raster and SQL. Single-band pseudocolor classification, RGB band combinations, a no-backend client-side raster fallback, Apache Sedona as a SQL Workspace engine, and transparent S3, GCS, and Azure URL support in queries. - More ways to add, view, and share. New Shapefile and GeoPackage export, glTF/GLB 3D model layers, multi-provider batch and reverse geocoding, collapsible layer groups, and a macOS Homebrew cask.

Awesome! @FrameworkPuter Framework Computer Making Progress On Coreboot For Their Modern @Intel-Powered Laptops phoronix.com/news/Framework-…

I spoke with a lot of people at Computex about DDR6 and LPDDR6. Luckily @gavbon86 had his head in the ISSCC papers to find out what Samsung and SK Hynix are up to. Here's the breakdown. open.substack.com/pub/moreth…

Update: the AUR compromise appears to be ongoing After the initial incident affecting 1,500 packages, another wave of malicious AUR packages has been discovered. This time the attackers reportedly used code obfuscation to better conceal the malicious behavior. Affected packages included Node.js packages, Firefox-related packages, LibreWolf extensions, NeoVim plugins and others. If you’re using #Arch Linux and install software from AUR, I’d review recently updated packages and keep an eye on this story. phoronix.com/news/Arch-Linux…

Intel could keep its LGA 1700 platform going with a new lineup called Raptor Lake Next, which is rumored to launch in early 2027. Reports say the new chips will still support DDR4 memory, giving people with older PCs a cheaper upgrade option. Since they’re expected to use the same LGA 1700 socket, users with 600- and 700-series motherboards may not need to buy a new motherboard or RAM. It’s a bit like AMD’s long support for the AM4 platform, which let users upgrade their CPUs without rebuilding their whole system. Intel has also said it plans to keep supporting older memory standards as long as they stay affordable and easy to get.

You can now run Kimi K2.7 Code locally! 🌘 We shrank the 1T model to 325GB (-48%) via Dynamic 2-bit where important layers are upcasted. Run at >40 tok/s on 330GB RAM/VRAM setups. Run full precision on 610 GB. Guide: unsloth.ai/docs/models/kimi-… GGUF: huggingface.co/unsloth/Kimi-…

You paid $1,000 for a Samsung phone. Samsung pre-installed dozens of apps you never asked for. Facebook. Microsoft Office. Netflix. Samsung's own browser. Samsung's own email. Samsung's own calendar. Samsung's own notes. Samsung's own cloud. Samsung's own payment app. Samsung's own voice assistant. Duplicates of apps you already use. Running in the background. Eating your battery. Using your storage. You cannot delete them. The delete button is greyed out. You paid for the hardware. They control the software. Xiaomi is worse. Pre-installed games. Shopping apps. Some serve full-screen ads on your phone. Carriers add more. T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T each pre-install apps you will never open. Uninstall button? Greyed out. Someone built a tool that removes every single one. No root needed. It's called Universal Android Debloater. Written in Rust. Cross-platform GUI. Plug your phone in. Click. Gone. → Remove any pre-installed app. Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei, Motorola, Nokia. → Remove carrier bloatware. T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, and carriers worldwide. → No root required. → Restore anything you removed. One click. → Battery life improves immediately. → Storage freed. Gigabytes recovered. → Privacy improved. Fewer apps tracking you. → Community-maintained database of known bloatware. → Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Here's the wildest part: The phone you paid for is not yours. It is a billboard you carry in your pocket. The manufacturer sold you hardware and then sold your attention to their partners. This tool gives you YOUR phone back. GPL-3.0. Written in Rust. Community-maintained. But DO NOT use Universal Android Debloater. We should all keep running dozens of apps we never installed on the phone we already paid for.

Linux 7.2 To Raise LLVM/Clang Compiler Requirement, Add Support For Distributed ThinLTO phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.2-…

Over 60 American cybersecurity experts & executives have signed an open letter asking the Commerce Secretary and National Cyber Director to lift export controls on Anthropic's Fable and Mythos AI models. Yes, Mythos finds software flaws and writes exploits well, but so do others like GPT-5.5, Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Chinese models like Kimi 2.7. Fable's protections were so aggressive the security community laughed at them on launch day. The controls pulled capable tools from defenders while adversaries keep advancing. China's open-weight models are months behind at most, and that's only what's been published. The letter asks for scientific evaluation criteria developed with industry input, proper rulemaking, transparent enforcement, and proportionality. One of the more telling lines: the original research that triggered the ban was about identifying insecure code. That's not an offensive capability but how you write secure software. freefable.org/

You uploaded family photos to Google Drive. You uploaded tax returns to Dropbox. You uploaded a scan of your passport to iCloud. You assumed they were private. They are not, by default. Google's terms of service authorize content scanning of files in Drive. Dropbox does the same. iCloud does the same. On a valid legal request, any of them hands the files over. A small team in Germany spent more than a decade building the tool that fixes this. It is called Cryptomator. You install it. You point it at your Dropbox folder. It creates a vault. You drop files in. They get encrypted on your computer with AES-256 before they ever leave for the cloud. Dropbox sees encrypted blobs. Google sees encrypted blobs. iCloud sees encrypted blobs. Only you have the password. Works with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, MEGA, pCloud, ownCloud, Nextcloud. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux. File contents encrypted. File names encrypted. Folder structure obfuscated. No accounts. No telemetry. Honest disclosure. The cloud still sees the vault exists, its size, and when it syncs. Cryptomator hides what is inside, not the vault itself. Receipts. 15,245 stars. 1,296 forks. GPL-3.0. Java. Last commit five days ago. Desktop apps for Windows, macOS, Linux: free forever. Mobile apps: one-time purchase. No subscription. Built by Skymatic, near Bonn. Ten years old this March. You did not buy cloud storage. You rented a glass house. Cryptomator gives you curtains. (Link in the comments)
