📰 Flathub’s AI slop ban looks like it was the right call
When Flathub banned AI-coded app submissions last month, some critics warned the platform was denying the future by dismissing a new wave of “vibe-coded” software as out-and-out “slop”. Well, new data suggests otherwise, as nearly three-quarters of the rejected apps are already dead, existing only a few months. Linux developer Evangelos Paterakis, developer of Tuba, Turntable and others, did the digging, looking at 120 code repositories whose...

Fake GitHub repos turn AI agents into malware delivery tools
Malicious GitHub activity dubbed FakeGit has spread across nearly 7,600 repositories, with more than 800 impersonating AI skills or Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. The campaign uses copied projects, lookalike developer profiles, convincing READMEs, and malicious ZIP files to lure victims into downloading SmartLoader. SmartLoader then establishes persistence and can deploy StealC to steal credentials, sessions, and other sensitive data.

Kimi K3 sparks crisis for Anthropic and OpenAI
China’s new model tightens the AI price war Moonshot’s Kimi K3 is presented as a major new open-weight challenger that lands close to the frontier on many benchmarks while being cheaper than leading U.S. models. The discussion argues that this weakens the idea that frontier intelligence is a durable moat and pushes buyers toward choosing models by task, price, and deployability. It also raises the possibility that AI model capability is becoming commoditized faster than many expected.

📰 Ubuntu 26.04 fixes trash dialog bug that defaulted to cancel
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is getting a fix for Nautilus that restores ‘Delete’ as the focused button in the trash confirmation dialog, undoing an accidental swap that made ‘Cancel’ the focused button instead. That ‘unintentional’ focus flip meant you could no longer hit enter to action file deletion for Trash since it instead cancelled it. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve assumed I emptied the trash since upgrading to Ubuntu 26.

Изменения в отслеживании проблем с безопасностью в GNOME
Майкл Катанзаро (Michael Catanzaro), с 2020 года отвечающий за отслеживание проблем с безопасностью в проекте GNOME, объявил о сокращении срока раскрытия информации об уязвимостях с 90 до 30 дней. Заявлено, что открытие публичного доступа к информации об уязвимости через 30 дней после получения отчёта является разумным компромиссом, с учётом того, что в большинстве случаев сопровождающие либо устраняют проблему за 1-3 недели, либо вообще не обращают на неё внимания. Изменение вступит в силу 1 августа и объясняется существенным ростом числа отчётов об уязвимостях, созданных при помощи AI-ассистентов.

ОС NetBSD портирована на системы с процессорами Motorola 68000
Разработчики операционной системы NetBSD представили новый порт hb68k, в котором реализована поддержка систем на базе процессоров Motorola 680x0, разработанных в 1979 году. В настоящее время подобные процессоры продолжают использоваться в конструкторах для самостоятельной домашней сборки компьютеров и обучения проектированию электронных устройств. Порт также может оказаться полезен любителям ретро систем, например, можно отметить недавние инициативы по запуску Linux на игровых приставках Atari Jaguar и Sega MegaDrive, оснащённых CPU Motorola 68000.
