Open Secure AI Alliance opens SAFE rules for sharing AI incidents
The Open Secure AI Alliance is a coalition led by NVIDIA and supported by prominent members including Microsoft, IBM, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Hugging Face, Palantir, Dell Technologies, Red Hat, and the Linux Foundation. Formed in late July 2026 to develop and share open tools for securing AI models, agents, and software infrastructure, the alliance has grown to more than 120 organizations and has opened a Request for Comments on SAFE, a proposed system for confidentially sharing security incidents and near misses involving AI agents.

Microsoft: MSIX Remove is not uninstall
MSIX “Remove” does not guarantee that an application’s binaries are deleted from disk. The operation deregisters the app for a user, while Windows only removes the package payload when no users, processes, or other references still depend on it.

📰 Paprius icon set gets first update in a over year with 80+ new icons
Fan of the the Papirus icon theme will be pleased to hear there a new update – the first since May 2025. For Papirus’s first update in 2026 (the tardiness of which its maintainer, Serhii Yeremenko, apologises) brings over 80 new icons or updated icons spanning apps, games and user-interface icons, plus new file mimetypes and revised symlinks. Frequent updates are why Papirus icons are popular with Linux users, and have been for such a long time.

📰 This gorgeous KDE icon pack gives your desktop a chalk-like look
One of the biggest things I love about Linux is that it's very customizable. There's no need to install third-party apps and use workarounds to get the look and feel you want; most of the time, the OS itself comes with all the support you'd need to do what you want. Such is the case with this delightful icon pack you can download and install onto KDE right now.

Cloudflare opens WriteGuard beta to stop runaway MCP agent writes
Cloudflare is bringing WriteGuard to a private beta for MCP server portals, giving organizations centralized controls over AI agents that can change tickets, code, documents, or production systems. The layer can block risky tool calls before execution, identify the agent session behind a user’s credentials, and make machine-generated activity searchable.

В drivers/staging ядра Linux перестанут принимать созданные LLM патчи
3 августа 2026 года, сопровождающий стабильных веток Linux и подсистемы staging Грег Кроа-Хартман (Greg Kroah-Hartman) объявил о новых правилах приёма изменений в каталог drivers/staging. Поводом стало недавнее «нашествие созданных LLM патчей». Теперь подготовленные языковыми моделями исправления для этой части ядра будут автоматически отклоняться, за исключением подтверждённых исправлений реальных уязвимостей.
Каталог drivers/staging используется для размещения драйверов и других компонентов, которые ещё не соответствуют требованиям основной ветки Linux. Согласно официальной документации ядра, такой код остаётся в staging, пока требует дополнительной работы; после доработки его могут перенести в основную часть ядра, а неразвивающиеся компоненты со временем удаляются.

Wild 0.10
4 августа состоялся выпуск Wild 0.10 — свободного компоновщика, написанного на Rust и предназначенного прежде всего для быстрой сборки программ в Linux. Компоновщик выполняет заключительный этап сборки: объединяет объектные файлы и библиотеки в готовый исполняемый файл или разделяемую библиотеку. Wild может использоваться как замена GNU ld, LLD и Mold, хотя заявленная разработчиками конечная цель — инкрементальная компоновка — пока не реализована.
Одним из главных новшеств стала поддержка параметров --gdb-index и --no-gdb-index. При включении этой возможности Wild создаёт в выходном файле секцию .gdb_index с индексом отладочной информации. Благодаря этому GDB может быстрее находить необходимые символы в крупных программах, не формируя индекс отдельно после сборки. Реализация поддерживает девятую версию формата GDB Index; операции сканирования, объединения и записи индекса были распараллелены.
Значительно расширена работа со сценариями компоновщика. Добавлена поддержка:

The podcasts page itself has also undergone a refresh, with the episode list now showing which ones you’ve already listened.
