Lasse Collin, the other xz maintainer, has acknowledged the backdoor (tukaani.org)
They haven’t particularly made a comment on the situation so much as acknowledged it’s happening. They seem to be going with the story that they had nothing to do with it and this is news to them.

The problems and shortcomings of Cosmic (According to Hyprland Dev, Vaxry) (blog.vaxry.net)
My first impressions with cosmic were terrible to say the least. Amongst the sea of complete dealbreaker issues (horrible stutter and lag, inability to use 240hz, mouse sensitivity not working, etc) the general implementations atm are janky to say the least, tons of empty menus, wasted space, small annoying bugs....

Qualcomm Aiming For Snapdragon X Elite GPU Support In Linux 6.11 (www.phoronix.com)
A lot of people here seemed excited for these chips. It’ll be very interesting to see the gaming performance as this could bring in an entire new segment of portable devices running Linux if powerful enough to deliver solid battery life and CPU performance.

GNU Nano gains optional modern keybindings – OSnews (www.osnews.com)
I almost feel like this a somewhat pointless feature. It’s almost easier to just learn the default ones as opposed to adding “-modernbindings” or creating an “enano” variant/copy.
