KDE’s new Photos app offers a sleek alternative to Gwenview

Photos is a new(ish) image viewer and organiser for KDE Plasma aiming to give Gwenview a run for its pixels. Linux distributions that use KDE Plasma typically ship Gwenview, which has been the KDE image app for over 25 years. It’s a solid, feature-filled and Qt-based tool that and many love and rely on to view, manage and edit images. But development on Gwenview has slowed – and it legacy could be to blame. As GNOME found in its efforts to modernise the Evince document viewer, updating old software can require rewriting and rewiring large chunks of an antiquated codebase. […]

CADBase 0.3.2 — инженерная платформа, теперь полностью открытая

CADBase – это цифровая платформа для публикации, хранения, версионирования и обмена 3D-моделями, чертежами и сопроводительной документацией.
Релиз версии 0.3.2 знаменует собой важный рубеж в развитии платформы CADBase: теперь весь код открыт под свободными лицензиями. Серверная часть (cdbs-back), процессы фоновой обработки (cdbs-proc) и миграции для БД (cdbs-migrations) становятся доступными сообществу.
Изначально планировалось публиковать проект сразу в open source, но потом перешли к закрытой разработке с планом открыть код через некоторое время. Исходный код веб-приложения был открыт под лицензией MIT в 2023 году и теперь, в 2026 году, открыты исходные коды всех репозиториев. Пусть и с большой задержкой, но теперь это сделано – хорошая новость.

Entra ID CAE covers far fewer Microsoft 365 sign-ins than expected

Microsoft’s Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE) can revoke access before a normal one-hour token expires, but its protection is far from universal across Microsoft 365. An analysis of 740 first-party resource tokens found that only 33 included the CAE claim, while some Microsoft clients still request ordinary tokens even when connecting to CAE-capable services.

Уязвимость в ОС Qubes, позволяющая обойти изоляцию и выполнить код на уровне Dom0

Опубликована информация об уязвимости в операционной системе Qubes, использующей гипервизор для строгой изоляции приложений и компонентов ОС (каждый класс приложений и системные сервисы работают в отдельных виртуальных машинах). В случае если атакующий скомпрометирует одну из виртуальных машин, уязвимость позволяет обойти изоляцию, добиться выполнения произвольных команд на стороне хостового окружения (Dom0) и получить контроль над всей операционной системой. Проблема проявляется при использовании пользователем утилиты "qvm-copy-to-vm" для копирования файла из хостового окружения в подконтрольную атакующему виртуальную машину. Уязвимость устранена в обновлении пакета qubes-core-dom0-linux 4.3.22.

Qwen 3.8 27B exposes the RTX 5090’s inference-engine bottleneck

Qwen 3.8 27B can fit on a single RTX 5090, but real-world performance depends more on the inference engine and context configuration than on the card’s 32 GB of VRAM. The same GPU can take roughly 30 minutes to produce a long-context response with llama.cpp, deliver about 20 tokens per second through a basic vLLM setup, or reach around 200 tokens per second with a more optimized engine.

Company makes money by removing AI guardrails to facilitate cyber attacks

Abliteration AI is selling API access to a modified version of Z.AI’s GLM-5.3 that is designed to answer requests other models reject, including offensive cybersecurity and red-team tasks. The hosted service avoids distributing the altered model weights, but its low refusal rate also makes misuse easier while placing more responsibility on customers.

With 71% of UK employees reportedly using unapproved consumer AI tools at work, the agency warns that banning them outright could drive sensitive data and business tasks into services security teams cannot assess.
