Linux builds of Cemu 2.6 were compromised with malware between May 6 and May 12, 2026. Affected files: - Cemu-2.6-x86_64.AppImage - cemu-2.6-ubuntu-22.04-x64zip >The malware could steal passwords, browser session tokens, SSH keys, GitHub credentials, cloud access tokens, and other sensitive authentication data. >The compromise originated from a stolen developer GitHub token used to replace official Linux release binaries on GitHub. >Windows, macOS, and Flatpak versions were unaffected. If you downloaded or executed the affected builds, take these steps: - Reinstall your operating system - Change passwords for important accounts - Revoke and regenerate SSH keys, GitHub tokens, API keys, and cloud credentials - Remove the compromised binaries - Review your system for unauthorized access

"An anthropologist proposed a game to children in an African tribe. He put a basket of fruit near a tree and told the children whoever got there first won the sweet fruits... When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run together like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: "Ubuntu, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?" Ubuntu in their civilization means: "I am because we are." That tribe knows the secret of happiness that has been lost in many countries that transcend them and which consider themselves civilized societies." The anecdote itself is almost certainly a modern parable rather than a documented event from a specific anthropologist and tribe But the core message is real, and it beautifully illustrates Ubuntu — a genuine Southern African (particularly Nguni/Bantu) philosophy. Do you get the message America?

I'm building a new harness from scratch. And this time despite all the failed attempts which you may see in my GitHub, this one is gonna be useful. it it will not be a fork of any other harness. it'll be built from scratch. I started building it, and the technical documentation or the architecture, etc. are all complete. And I will be making some changes to them and the implementation is already started. We will see how effective it will be and the it is of course Ubuntu native.

California lawmakers are moving to exempt most Linux distributions from the state’s upcoming age-verification law after backlash from the open-source community. The original law would require operating systems to verify a user’s age during setup and share that information with apps through a built-in system API. Because the wording was broad, many developers believed it could apply to Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora. That led to backlash from developers, who said the rules would be hard for volunteer-run open-source projects to follow. In response, lawmakers introduced changes narrowing the law’s scope and likely exempting most Linux distributions.

A new security bug in the Linux kernel called Dirty Frag lets any normal user gain full root access very reliably without crashing the system by exploiting two issues in the kernel, one of which is already fixed in the newest main version while the other still needs a fix. It affects many popular Linux versions including -Ubuntu 24.04.4 -RHEL 10.1 -Fedora 44 -openSUSE Tumbleweed -CentOS Stream 10 -AlmaLinux 10 There is a working exploit code now available on GitHub, so update your kernel as soon as possible.
