Flathub just rewrote its generative AI policy to ban any AI-generated or AI-assisted code, docs, and content. Here’s what changed, why it happened, and who’s furious about it.

The Alinx HEA13 combines an AMD Virtex UltraScale+ XCVU13P FPGA with support for NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin and Jetson Thor modules. The platform links the FPGA and Jetson module through a PCIe Gen3 x8 interface for applications such as robotics, industrial vision, edge AI, and compute acceleration. The FPGA subsystem is based on the AMD […]

The core hack proposed by Google AI Assistant was Navigating the EFI layer. AI targeted the exact 3-line configuration stub (/boot/efi/EFI/debian/grub.cfg) that overrides the Btrfs default subvolume engine on Debian EFI installations. From my side it was integrating a native .path watcher framework precisely because a heavy, compiled inotifywait binary loses its structural handles during a subvolume swap and focus attention on sed substitutions @rootfs with @root_active in grub.cfg files and /etc/fstab.

Flathub now says apps with AI-generated or AI-assisted code, documentation, or other content are not allowed.

Last week's collection of networking subsystem fixes for Linux 7.1 noted craziness continuing with no end in sight with a large pull request of fixes with many of them spurred on by AI/LLM coding agents. This week it's "significantly bigger" than prior kernel cycles for this late stage of kernel development due to this assistance of large language models...

QEMU is considering limited acceptance of AI-assisted patches, covering tests, documentation, mechanical changes, and small bug fixes.

An associate who participated in Groklaw says the trouble - however subtle - began when the LF kicked out the community representatives. Then Microsoft quickly took over the Foundation and promoted Windows as "Linux" (WSL). The LF would then attack the GPL, too. It was meant to guard the licence of Linux (GPL). It would instead attack GPL defenders and protect violators.

One of the Fedora 45 change proposals under consideration at the moment is making adding PURL "Package-URL" to Fedora's package metadata for simplifying the mapping between upstream projects and Fedora packages...

In recent weeks we have been exploring different areas of the Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics performance on Linux from various OpenCL and Vulkan to Level Zero compute benchmarks, scaling up to four Arc Pro B70 graphics cards, comparing to NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell, and other relevant tests. While not intended for gaming, many Phoronix readers keep raising requests for seeing the Arc Pro B70 performance for Linux gaming given the lack of any consumer BMG-G31 GPU. So for those curious, here is a look at the Linux gaming performance with the Arc Pro B70 graphics card.

Arm today announced the open-sourcing of Metis, an agentic AI security framework that delivers context AI-powered security analysis in looking out for software vulnerabilities...

The QEMU processor emulator that plays an important role in the open-source Linux virtualization stack had a policy that forbid any contributions including or derived from AI-generated content. But there are now second thoughts with a proposed patch that will permit AI/LLM contributions in non-critical areas...
