Torvalds is really starting to like #AI for #Linux code maintenance.

Good.
AI slop (AI generated code) will be not allowed in GNOME shell extensions: "At this point, we have to add a new rule to the EGO review guidelines. So the packages with unnecessary code that indicate they are AI-generated will be rejected."

Here's an unbelievable fun fact:
The legendary creator of Linux and git, Linus Torvalds, once admitted in an interview that he had never used Debian. Why? Because he found it too difficult to install!
To this day, he reportedly still hasn't switched. Linus famously uses Fedora as his primary Linux distro. He further clarified that he is not the system’s guy i.e. IT professional who knows how to deal with different OSes. At least he is honest and wanted something that allowed him to do his job.

5 Fediverse sites have been hacked due to running outdated software.
Please take a moment to ensure that your instance of Mastodon, Misskey, PeerTube, PixelFed, or any other Fediverse platform is fully up-to-date.
It may also be wise to log into your server and update your operating system.
Debian / Ubuntu servers:
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
Fedora / CentOS / Red Hat / Alma Linux:
sudo dnf update --refresh
sudo dnf upgrade
sudo reboot
If you update your OS, your server will be briefly offline during the reboot. If you have not configured your web services — including your Fediverse service — to start automatically on boot, you may need to start them manually afterward.
Always make a backup before performing upgrades.
If any of this is confusing or feels overwhelming, you should reconsider whether you want to be a server administrator. This is not meant as an insult. It’s great that you wanted to contribute to the Fediverse, but you may be better off participating as a user rather than an admin. People depend on you to keep services running smoothly, and that requires knowing how to maintain your system safely and correctly.
