Swift SDKs for WebAssembly now available on swift.org
As the Platform Steering Group accepted the vision document for WebAssembly support, we’re excited to announce that Swift SDKs for Wasm are now available at swift.org/install. The website now also hosts a getting started guide for Wasm with installation and build instructions. You may notice "Swift SDKs" is in plural. The reason is that artifact bundles for Wasm distributed from swift.org include two Swift SDKs: one with the full feature set of the Swift standard library and Swift Testing, a…

Got distracted (again....) Told you they have a great Wayland stack over at FreeBSD. Didn't tell you yet about Plasma 6.4 (out last Tuesday) on Wayland on FreeBSD.
Kudos to everyone involved!

January 6th, early morning Finnish time, there was quite a few people on Freeciv forums. No idea why. Some media coverage that we are unaware of? Or just a bot attack of some sort?

Every day I use the #Internet it gets more crap. First we had ads popping up everywhere. Then Google came in and crushed all the good stuff. Now we’re stuck with this AI slop no one asked for.

Expertise, especially towards specific attack patterns, is crucial for cybercrime intelligence, as it focuses on targeting actors with the knowledge and skills to attack enterprises. Using CVEs and CAPEC classifications to build a bimod…
