openSUSE Discontinues Support for Deepin Desktop Environment due to ongoing security concerns and violations of internal review protocols. The distribution's maintainers discovered that the Deepin packager had bypassed SUSE's mandatory security vetting by introducing a package that downplayed known risks and encouraged users to accept a questionable license agreement. This led the openSUSE team to remove Deepin entirely from the project, citing a compromised trust in its safe integration. The Pakistan military has recovered debris from a kamikaze drone near Walton Airport in Lahore, following its interception early Thursday morning. The incident occurred amid a series of Indian strikes reported across various locations in Pakistan. An explosion, reportedly linked to the drone, was heard in the Gopal Nagar and Naseerabad neighborhoods, coinciding with social media videos showing rising smoke. Russian hackers linked to the COLDRIVER group are reportedly using a fake ClickFix CAPTCHA as a social engineering lure to distribute a new malware strain known as LOSTKEYS. This sophisticated espionage tool is designed to steal files from specified directories and file types, while also transmitting system information and active processes back to the attackers.

World leaders are voicing concern over escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, as calls for peace grow louder. In London, Pakistan supporters gathered outside the High Commission of India, urging both nations to pursue diplomatic solutions and de-escalate hostilities. AI-Coded Software Becoming a Reality as Automation Advances — As artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize the tech industry, AI-powered coding tools are rapidly transforming software development. At Meta's recent LlamaCon AI event, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that AI currently writes up to 30% of company code. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg added that AI could handle 50% or more of software development within the next year. Tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Amazon Q Developer exemplify this shift, enabling developers to generate, test, and deploy code using natural language prompts in an intuitive, conversational interface known as "vibe coding." By 2028, it's anticipated that 75% of professional developers will adopt such AI-assisted tools. Industry experts suggest that widespread implementation could boost productivity by 30% and add $1.5 trillion to global GDP. While AI is expected to automate routine tasks, developers will remain essential for overseeing complex logic and maintaining high-quality standards, marking a profound transformation in the software development lifecycle. Sudo-rs Enables Secure Command Execution Without Buffer Overflows as Ubuntu 25.10 adopts the Rust-based version of the classic sudo utility by default. This move by Canonical aims to enhance memory safety and reduce vulnerability to memory-related security bugs by leveraging Rust’s protections against common issues like buffer overflows.
