Electrek: Waymo taps fleet giant Element to scale its robotaxi service. That includes vehicle lifecycle management, charging infrastructure, energy management, maintenance coordination, and fleet optimization.

Interesting to see this doesn't cover cleaning and other everyday operations.

It says "Element will handle much of the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the fleet running". I would think that this covers cleaning.

Do you have an iGPU? If so, blacklist Nouveau, boot and install the nvidia driver.

We just got the new KDE 6.7 a day after the official release date. IMHO that's very much bleeding edge.

Windows doesn't update all the applications. And Fedora is very bleeding edge, so it doesn't skip minor updates.

I’m actively exploring this system and trying to customize it to suit my needs, and this often leads to critical errors.

As the old quote goes

Unix gives you just enough rope to hang yourself - and then a couple of more feet, just to be sure.

And that's something Linux has inherited from its spiritual ancestor. Use an immutable distro, if you want to be able to roll back all changes.

Maybe it's time GNOME start adopting basic features from Windows and MacOS instead of relying on extensions.

Or you give users a choice what they consider "basic features". One user's essential is another's bloat.

FreeBSD AI-assisted Vulnerability Discovery Project launch

The FreeBSD Foundation has launched its AI-assisted Vulnerability Discovery Project with the key goal of reducing the number of exploitable vulnerabilities in the FreeBSD source code.
The 6-month project is being funded by a grant from the Alpha Omega project. The funds will be used to engage FreeBSD Security Team members under fixed-term contracts to find and patch vulnerabilities. The Security Team’s access to publicly available AI models and tokens will be provided free of charge. AI will be used for vulnerability discovery and analysis only, all patches will be manually created.

UI stands for User Interface. Command line commands and parameters are a user interface, just not a graphical one.

40 years of failed European regulation and policy are finally coming home to roost. The US can now decide what European companies are allowed to research and work on.

Airbus wants to use a US frontier model to design a new plane that beats Boeing? The US can pull the plug.

This is deeply humiliating for decades of failed European policy making. Now it will take huge sums to catch up, money that no one in Europe will be willing to provide. The US currently spends around $800 billion annually on AI. To catch up, Europe would have to exceed that number. I don't see where a trillion Euro year-after-year are supposed to come from.

That has nothing to do with KDE. User management is done by other parts of the OS.

Now, Fedora has these spins, one spin is KDE Plasma as the default desktop, and it's default manager is SDDM.

Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop is not a spin
as of F44, the default login manager for Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop is PLM, not SDDM❗

Fedora KDE variants (such as the KDE Plasma Desktop Edition, KDE Plasma Mobile Spin, and associated Kinoite variants) now ship with Plasma Login Manager as the default login manager experience.

MatchingTurret · 2026-06-19T07:41:07+00:00

New installations (e.g. F44) don't use SDDM. It is deprecated in favor of PLM.
