AI-assisted Linux vulnerability research has sparked panic, but local privilege escalation bugs, open-source transparency, and better patching show why Linux isn’t falling apart.

Ubuntu’s AI plans could test whether open-source can embrace AI without sacrificing user choice, ethics, privacy, and community trust.

A grounded look at the current open-source office suite conflicts, why they are not a reason to panic, and how this disruption could lead to stronger projects.

Open on paper is not enough. This edition looks at what makes open standards meaningful in practice, from office files to SVG and the web. If software can't support everything in a file, it should preserve what it cannot yet edit instead of stripping it away.

Check the end of the post for curated links to my latest open-source work. “This software has too much of a learning curve.” Every so often, I hear a popular mantra being repeated by fellow creators, professionals, and pretty much

Put an egg in every basket. A Roll Out on building resilience through choice, keeping multiple tools and income lanes open without losing focus.

Sometimes the things in life that are holding you back aren’t a lack of time, hard-earned skills, tools, or raw talent. If our minds are like computers, then it stands to reason that they sometimes need a little spring cleaning, too.

Big downloads and constant updates are now normal, but software doesn’t have to be bloated. Let’s break down the bloat tax, and what it looks like to build leaner software again.

When we think “open-source”, we often think “a belief system, a preference, or a vibe”. I see it differently. Open software is a powerful force of technological resilience. You can inspect it, tweak it, fork it, and build on it

Software trust is often learned through social pressure, not evidence. How a viral open-source “failure” narrative spreads, and why Linux is being re-evaluated.
