Turntable Adds Collapsible Player Controls, End of Year Recap

A new version of Turntable, the standalone music scrobbling tool and desktop ‘now playing’ controls for Linux, is out with a couple of notable new features. Given the app is a conduit for relaying your listening habits, this update adds “wrapped year-in-review” style recap of your hither logged listening habits. Well, kinda. Turntable’s developer, Evan Paterakis, says the year-end recap feature is an ‘experiment’ so far from perfect. This is because the app doesn’t track your listening habits itself, merely relays it to your preferred service. Since “different services provide different levels of information and assets and almost none provide […]

Pinta 3.1 Goes Stable with Axonometric Grids

Following on from its beta release in September, the Pinta 3.1 release is now available for download with new features and plenty of fixes. Pinta is, as I’m sure you know, a modest open-source and cross-platform image editor. It began life as a pseudo-clone of Paint.NET (the former being written in Mono, an open-source implementation of Microsoft’s .NET, which the latter was made in). These days, it’s very much its own thing, serving as a simple yet capable raster graphics editor sitting below The GIMP in complexity, but above no-frills Tux Paint type offerings. Pinta 3.1 brings a variety of […]

Уязвимости в GnuPG, позволяющие обойти верификацию и выполнить свой код

На проходящей в Германии конференции 39C3 (Chaos Communication Congress) раскрыты детали о 12 ранее неизвестных и остающихся неисправленными (0-day) уязвимостях в инструментарии GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard), предоставляющем совместимые со стандартами OpenPGP и S/MIME утилиты для шифрования данных, работы с электронными подписями, управления ключами и доступа к публичным хранилищам ключей. Наиболее опасные уязвимости позволяют обойти проверку по цифровой подписи и добиться выполнения кода при обработке шифрованных данных в ASCII-представлении (ASCII Armor).

📰 Intel Xe vs. i915 Driver Performance On Linux 6.19 For Arc Alchemist GPUs

By default the Alchemist and Meteor Lake graphics use the i915 kernel driver by default but they can optionally use the Xe kernel driver instead as what is Intel's modern open-source...
