Soutenez Blast, nouveau média indépendant : blast-info.fr/soutenir

Nous entrons en campagne de financement avec cette vidéo où Denis Robert répond aux injonctions du pouvoir qui nous pousse à choisir le camp de l’ordre.

« Que les pauvres aient le sentiment de leur impuissance, voilà une condition première de la paix sociale » ? Cette citation de Maurice Barrès sert de starter à ce nouvel édito choc

Barres, inventeur d’un fascisme à la française avait tout compris. Une société d’ordre, une société qui choisit son camp entre les hordes de casseurs et d’anarchistes et la France des rentiers, des policiers et des commerçants est l’ultime argument d’un pouvoir agonisant qui n’a qu’une seule peur : que les pauvres desserrent leurs entraves pour dire stop.

C’est donc un édito d’octobre qui lance notre campagne sous le signe de l’indépendance du journalisme, d’une fin de règne trouble et violente et d’une poussée fasciste portée par des médias aveugles et aveuglés qui jouent le pouvoir contre la rue, les oligarques contre les dix millions de pauvres, notre réalité contre leur fiction.

Nous avons choisi notre camp et nous allons ici vous expliquer pourquoi, plus que jamais depuis la création de Blast, c’est vital de nous soutenir.

What would deeper AI integration on the Ubuntu desktop look like? Well, you don’t need to think too hard to find out.

A Canonical engineer has published a prototype launcher that simulates how on-device AI could be used to enhance and aid users of the Ubuntu desktop.

But the warty-prototype1 snap by Didier Roche-Tolomelli (aka didrocks) is not a real launcher. It’s a semi-interactive, automated mockup. It simulates things a user could do, and that includes interacting with a (theoretical) on-device AI model to complete tasks.

The Snap Store listing refers to it as a ‘design-discussion prototype of the next Ubuntu launcher’.

An intriguing choice of words – that’s as far as I’d read into it for now, though. A hint of a possible future feature perhaps, but not quite a commitment to shipping or actually building this as a real thing.

A launcher and a prompt box

I installed the prototype and ran through the simulated tasks to get an idea of what (there’s a menu full of them). The launcher itself is triggered by a small Ubuntu logo in the top panel and is only ostensibly interactive.

One simulated task saw the launcher used to find a local image file (using the file filter). The launcher’s AI box is used, and the model is asked to set the image as the desktop wallpaper and adjust the system accent colour to match.

In another, the “Followup with AI…” is used to find a suitable app the user can install to open an ePub. Matches from the Snap Store filter back inside of the launcher, complete with install buttons, which then trigger an installation. Nice.

And another, and to my mind more impressive use-case demo tasks AI with creating an add-able calendar itinerary from a handful of items selected from the clipboard history. Press play on the video embed below to watch that:

It’s intended to function as a regular launcher too, e.g., opening apps, findings files, picking emoji, clipboard history, finding open browser tabs and reviewing recent ‘tasks’.

Throughout the simulation results appear with all kinds of icons and actions to manipulate or manage them inside of the launcher, making this more of an active tool than a passive one.

Much like Apple’s (more capable) Spotlight in recent versions of macOS, in that regard. It’s not hard to imagine how the launcher could be extended further, to handle more than simple find-and-retrieve tasks.

We do know Canonical is keen to ‘ramp up’ AI features in Ubuntu. It released the Myna AI dictation tool in tech preview this month, and its engineers are using LLMs and agentic coding tools for various efforts, infra management, etc.

But the company has also said it won’t be bolting AI on for its own sake. Any integrations it does explore will, even in this ‘simulation’, be predicated around practical use-cases and making use of on-device AI models.

Try the demo (remember it’s a demo)

You can install the warty-prototype launcher demo from the Snap Store. It will run on most supported Ubuntu releases:

sudo snap install warty-prototype --edge

Once installed, launch it from the command-line. Click the Ubuntu icon in the top panel to reveal the launcher (and the menu of simulations to see in action).

Just keep in mind that you can’t use this to do anything. It’s a launcher mockup, not a real tool. It won’t integrate with your system, find your apps or double-up as your therapist-cum-psychosis-inducer.

For those wondering why ‘warty’, that was the codename of the first Ubuntu release – so named as the first version was likely to be a bit of a unrefined one. ↩︎

Miguel Ojeda sent out his pull request of the new Rust kernel code slated for introduction in Linux 7.4. It's a big one this round due to updating the Zerocopy vendored library plus updating other Rust crates for the kernel.

The Zerocopy crate update is a big one in jumping eight versions ahead. This is the code providing traits and macros to safely convert between raw byte sequences and structured types. Rust for Linux 7.4 also has other toolchain and infrastructure updates, enabling the unstable proc_macro_span feature for better diagnostics of all procedural macros, and more.

The Rust kernel create adds new "mem" and "ratelimit" modules while improving some of the existing modules. The pin-init crate is adding support for tuple structs as well as allowing for the safe creation of self-references. There is also much improved diagnostics.

More details on these central Rust code changes for Linux 7.4 can be found via this pull request. Via individual subsystem pull requests will also be more Rust code for Linux 7.4, like the NVIDIA Nova driver improvements for Linux 7.4 and the other Rust DRM infrastructure work that brings.

Mnohé ženy aj muži si na jeseň všimnú, že im na hrebeni a v odtoku sprchy zostáva viac vlasov než v lete. Nie je to náhoda. Sezónne vypadávanie vlasov je bežný jav a väčšinou je dočasné. Nasledujúce riadky majú informatívny charakter a nenahrádzajú návštevu dermatológa.

Prečo vlasy na jeseň slabnú

Vlas rastie v cykloch. Po letných mesiacoch prechádza väčšie množstvo vlasov naraz do pokojovej fázy a o niekoľko týždňov neskôr vypadnú. K tomu sa pridáva slnko, chlórovaná a slaná voda z dovolenky, suchý vzduch z kúrenia a častejšie nosenie čiapok. Svoje robí aj stres po návrate do práce, menej spánku a jedálniček chudobnejší na čerstvú zeleninu.

Strava, ktorá vlasom pomáha

Vlasy sú tvorené bielkovinou keratínom, preto by v jedálničku nemali chýbať vajcia, strukoviny, ryby, tvaroh či orechy. Dôležité je železo z červeného mäsa, šošovice a špenátu, zinok z tekvicových semienok a biotín z ovsených vločiek. Jeseň ponúka aj šípky, rakytník a jablká bohaté na vitamín C, ktorý pomáha vstrebávať železo. Nezabúdajte na pitný režim, lebo aj mierna dehydratácia sa prejaví na pokožke hlavy. Prísne diéty a rýchle chudnutie naopak vlasom škodia, pretože telo im v čase nedostatku dáva najnižšiu prioritu.

Jednoduché domáce recepty

Babské rady sa pri vlasoch tradujú celé generácie. Obľúbený je zábal z ricínového alebo olivového oleja, ktorý sa jemne vmasíruje do pokožky hlavy a nechá pôsobiť pol hodiny pred umytím. Výplach z vychladnutého odvaru žihľavy alebo rozmarínu dodá vlasom lesk. Maska z vajíčka a lyžice medu vyživí suché končeky. Niektorí siahajú aj po cibuľovej šťave, tá však môže dráždiť citlivú pokožku, preto ju vyskúšajte najprv na malom mieste.

Šetrná starostlivosť každý deň

Pomáha masáž pokožky hlavy končekmi prstov niekoľko minút denne, ktorá podporí prekrvenie. Vlasy umývajte vlažnou vodou, sušte ich skôr na nižšej teplote a pred zimou ich nechajte zastrihnúť. Pevné gumičky a tesné účesy vlasy namáhajú, rovnako ako česanie mokrých vlasov hustým hrebeňom. Dopriajte si dostatok spánku a skúste zaradiť prechádzky na čerstvom vzduchu, ktoré znižujú stres.

Kedy vyhľadať lekára

Ak vlasy padajú vo väčších chumáčoch, objavia sa lysé miesta, pokožka svrbí alebo sa šupinatí, prípadne vypadávanie trvá dlhšie ako tri mesiace, je dobré objednať sa k dermatológovi alebo praktickému lekárovi. Príčinou môže byť nedostatok železa, porucha štítnej žľazy či hormonálne zmeny, ktoré odhalí krvný test. Ďalšie osvedčené tipy, ako vyzerá rýchly rast vlasov podľa overených domácich receptov, nájdete v podrobnom prehľade.

Shared emulators leak identity across jobs: one fingerprint, one IP, one process that dies when the laptop sleeps. Parallel agent work needs separation.

FoxPhone is a cloud phone platform: isolated Android devices with their own fingerprints and networks, Android 10–15 on ARM, driven from a browser. Agents can install apps and walk flows across a fleet. Pricing is usage-based with a free trial.

Seemingly as an accident, overnight several new Linux kernel vulnerability reports were posted to the public Linux kernel mailing list rather than the private security mailing list. The vulnerabilities have yet to be patched on mainline but at least in some cases there are patches undergoing testing or queued in "-next" branches. The CVSS scores are as high as 9.0.

Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative sent out a number of vulnerability reports to the public Linux kernel mailing list (LKML) rather than the typical private security mailing list. This seemingly was a mistake with Linux's second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman responding to each report asking about their submission to the public mailing list.

Among these newly-disclosed vulnerabilities include:

ZDI-CAN-33549 as a CVSS 9.0 scored vulnerability for SMB Direct remote code execution vulnerability due to integer underflow. For this one there is a patch in a Git branch of code intended for Linux v7.5 but now presumably will be expedited for getting to mainline.

ZDI-CAN-33774 as a KSMBD race condition that can lead to remote code execution. Another CVSS 9.0 rated vulnerability.

ZDI-CAN-33367 is a vulneravbility for skbuff skb_zerocopy in the network code that can lead to local privilege escalation. For this one Linux kernel developers received a security report from another source last week over the same issue and a patch is expected to be posted soon.

ZDI-CAN-34068 as a VMWGFX VMware graphics driver bug with an out-of-bounds write leading to local privilege escalation.

ZDI-CAN-34076 an uninitialized resource in the NVMET code leading to information disclosure.

ZDI-CAN-32005 was also posted to the mailing list a day prior for a search-domain TCP query stack buffer overflow leading to local privilege escalation.

The bug and security reports keep on coming in the AI fueled world.
