Relax, it’s just Ubuntu 15.04. AARGH! IT’S FULL OF SYSTEMD!!!

Review Systemd is here. It’s arrived in Vivid Vervet, the latest, just-released distro of Ubuntu — 15.04.

Most users will notice very little overall difference in this latest Ubuntu release, but it’s this change that packs the biggest punch.

Wily Werewolf is the name of Ubuntu 15.10

“I think Ubuntu has come to represent the leanest, cleanest focus on free software and design for future experiences, and I think it’s time for us now to accelerate that lead. It’s really important for us to be sure that developers that are comfortable developing for GNOME or KDE know that their applications will absolutely be welcome in a converged Ubuntu world.”

• Ubuntu 15.10 Codename Announced (And a Whole Heap More)

“I would like to announce that we are going to ship a device this year, with a manufacturer, that will fit in your pocket, and be a phone, and will give you a desktop experience. That PC pocket experience is real on Ubuntu.”

• Canonical Is Focusing on Ubuntu Desktop Once More for 15.10

We love when our community shares screenshots and stories of what they create on elementary OS. When you share how you use elementary OS, you’re sharing the fact that it’s something real people use every day—that it’s something both five-year-olds and professional programmers can use. Your stories and the community you create is a big part of what brings people to elementary OS.

Request: Describe your desktop setup ChrisLAS

Here we are again…

Michael came by some information about Manjaro developers leaving the distribution. No big deal, that happens; people move on. But that’s not sexy enough to drive clicks. So what we need here is a really flagrant title, one like: “Manjaro Linux Developers Experience A Mass Exodus”.

Now in the real world of news reporting, there is this thing called ‘Verification’, wherein, you try to independently verify from multiple sources the information you are researching. You contact multiple people, you get the story from different angles, and then you decided what you are going to write. But in todays fast paced ‘Get the story out first’ online news reporting, that step gets lost. Sites want to be the first one to release news, why…? Because the first to report gets the clicks, and in this world. Clicks = Money. We have sacrificed Truth for convenience and money.

But there’s a more ugly deceitful side; intentionally NOT verifying information can sometimes create a lot of drama. And drama my friends… well… Drama = Clicks. So whats our mantra? – Get the story out first! – If its wrong and creates drama no problem — that’s a plus, it’ll drive more traffic to our site. We can later ‘retract’ any false information once we’ve actually been presented with the correct information.
It’s simple math.
Drama = Clicks. Click = Money. Thus: Drama = Money.

• Only a few days old, OpenSSL fork LibreSSL is declared “unsafe for Linux” | Ars Technica

A security researcher has warned that there are cases where the LibreSSL PRNG will produce identical output two or more times when running on Linux systems, something he called a “catastrophic failure.” The same data can be returned when an application process is cloned—or “forked,” in computing parlance—something that can happen when an operating system repeats a similar task over and over, like each time a Web server opens a new connection, for example. In most cases, LibreSSL will detect that a process has been forked because its identifier, known as a PID, will differ. In those cases, LibreSSL will automatically reseed the random numbers to ensure they’re unique to the new process.
