Началось альфа-тестирование Slackware 16.0

Спустя четыре с половиной года с момента прошлого выпуска Патрик Фолькердинг (Patrick Volkerding) объявил о начале альфа-тестирования дистрибутива Slackware 16.0. Проект развивается с 1993 года и является старейшим из ныне существующих дистрибутивов. Особенностями дистрибутива являются отсутствие усложнений и простая система инициализации, что делает Slackware интересным решением для изучения работы Unix-подобных систем, проведения экспериментов и знакомства с Linux.

‍AMD создаёт команду для внедрения Rust в GPU-стек — от компиляторов до прошивок

5 сентября стало известно о новом направлении AMD по использованию Rust в низкоуровневом программном стеке графических процессоров. Сотрудник AMD Харш Менон (Harsh Menon) сообщил о формировании небольшой специализированной команды, задача которой — «push Rust deep into the GPU stack». В качестве направлений он перечислил компиляторы, runtime, firmware, архитектуру GPU и совместное проектирование аппаратного и программного обеспечения.
Объявление подтверждается опубликованной самой AMD вакансией Software Development Engineer — Rust, Compilers, and GPU Systems. В ней компания прямо называет Rust «core technical direction» при разработке системного ПО следующего поколения для GPU. Работы должны охватить компиляторы, runtime, низкоуровневое ПО GPU, прошивки и средства разработки. AMD отдельно подчёркивает: «Rust is not incidental to this role» — язык рассматривается не как вспомогательный инструмент для отдельных утилит.

GNOME Sushi gets a GTK4 overhaul, new features

Sushi, the spacebar file previewer for the Nautilus file manager, has been ported to GTK4/libadwaita as part of the upcoming GNOME 51 release. For anyone unfamiliar with it, Sushi is like Quick Look on macOS: you select a file (images, music, video, documents, etc) in Nautilus, press the spacebar and an instant preview of its content is shown. Press the spacebar again to dismiss. Sushi v51 looks nicer – well, what little UI there is – on newer GNOME releases. There’s a flatter looking headerbar and new overlay controls for certain file types, which let content bleed through from underneath. […]

OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra guide for devs

OpenAI is advising developers to prompt GPT-6 Astra to act on implied intent instead of repeatedly asking for clarification, while also limiting its tendency to produce canned AI language and excessive test runs. The guidance adds operational detail to GPT-6 Astra’s critical cybersecurity classification, making prompt and context management important parts of deploying the model safely.
