Trump tariffs and green energy rollbacks push household electricity bills up 10% (Dharna Noor/The Guardian)

I don't understand why so few people use openSUSE compared to Fedora, Debian, Ububububu, and the meme distros (btw). It's basically perfect. It has every package you could hope for, even Nvidia and Steam, right there in the repo. Tested packages with snapshots for rollback. Doesn't force Wayland (yet?). The sensible defaults on weird hardware work great. Why waste time with anything else? I'm old and grumpy now, I just want a *nix computer, not a hobby.

AI-Augmented CI/CD Pipelines: From Code Commit to Production with Autonomous Decisions
Modern software delivery has accelerated from quarterly releases to multiple deployments per day. While CI/CD tooling has matured, human decision points interpreting flaky tests, choosing rollback strategies, tuning feature flags, and deciding when to promote a canary remain major sources of latency and operational toil. We propose AI-Augmented CI/CD Pipelines, where large language models (LLMs) and autonomous agents act as policy-bounded co-pilots and progressively as decision makers. We contr…

Rollback, Rollback, Rollback ... und die SPD munter mit dabei. #herbstDerReformen

Whoa. New science. These ant queens produce babies of two different species.

The Biological Rulebook Was Just Rewritten—by Ants
Iberian harvester ant queens clone males of a different species in a never-before-seen case of reproduction and domestication.

UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk and UC President James B. Milliken have appeared to reject Trump administration demands tied to the restoration of federal funding. The demands reportedly include a large monetary settlement, an end to diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, and a rollback of transgender rights on campus. That rollback would ban transgender students from participating in sports, living in dorms, and likely using bathrooms …

UCLA Rejects Trump Demands To Capitulate To Anti-Trans Policies—For Now
The university has refused to bow to the President’s sweeping list of anti-transgender demands—bucking a growing trend of large universities that have caved to similar pressure.

Arguzz: Testing zkVMs for Soundness and Completeness Bugs
Zero-knowledge virtual machines (zkVMs) are increasingly deployed in decentralized applications and blockchain rollups since they enable verifiable off-chain computation. These VMs execute general-purpose programs, frequently written in Rust, and produce succinct cryptographic proofs. However, zkVMs are complex, and bugs in their constraint systems or execution logic can cause critical soundness (accepting invalid executions) or completeness (rejecting valid ones) issues. We present Arguzz, t…
