Google is making big changes to its search engine. Instead of mostly showing links to websites, it’s now going to put AI-generated answers and interactive features front and center. Starting next Tuesday, search results will include bigger conversation-style boxes, AI information assistants, and personalized mini-apps powered by Gemini. The old “ten blue links” era is basically over. This shift will send even less traffic to independent websites and news publishers on top of the drops many have already seen from Google’s AI overviews. Publishers who rely on Google to get readers will need to adapt fast, because fewer people will click through to the original content.

‘Mr Nowak can be heard saying “can’t breathe.” Police put handcuffs on Mr Nowak, who was lying on his side, telling officers he had been stabbed and that he could not breathe. The officer told Mr Nowak that he was under arrest for suspicion of assault. Mr Nowak repeated that he had been stabbed. A male voice said: “I don’t think you have, mate.”’

Linus Torvalds says the Linux kernel security mailing list is now almost impossible to manage due to a large number of bug reports from AI tools. In his latest update for Linux 7.1-rc4, he explained that the continued flood of AI reports has made the security list almost entirely unmanageable, with enormous duplication as different people find the same issues using the same tools. Maintainers spend a lot of time dealing with the same problems repeatedly and often reply that they were already fixed weeks ago. The security list is for private and important security problems, but AI reports are not secret and create too much extra work. Linus says AI tools are great but only if they actually help rather than cause unnecessary pain and pointless make-work.

We are investigating unauthorized access to GitHub’s internal repositories. While we currently have no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub’s internal repositories (such as our customers’ enterprises, organizations, and repositories), we are closely monitoring our infrastructure for follow-on activity.

My wife’s in Beijing today and stopped by the same bakery Jensen visited a few days ago. They’ve already updated the ads. This bakery’s marketing team may be running on NVIDIA GPUs 😂

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: Thomas Massie is OUT. Ed Gallrein is projected to win the Kentucky 4th primary, 54.4% to 45.6%. The man who introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act, voted against Iran, and wanted AIPAC registered as a foreign agent just got bought out by $35M ... The most expensive primary in history closes.

Want the best modern version of Windows possible? - Take Devuan Linux (Debian without Systemd bloat). - Use XFCE on top of XLibre. - Add Chicago95 (to make it look like Windows 95). - Install the latest versions of Wine (so you can run all Windows software from Win 3.1 to present) and Steam (maximum game compatibility). It looks like Windows. It runs Windows software. But it’s better in every possible way. It even has better compatibility with Windows software than what Windows 11 provides (seriously). Better speed. Significantly lower RAM usage. Modern hardware support. A better user interface than Windows 11.
