Another nice update from the Starcraft team, detailing the linting infrastructure behind #snapcraft, #rockcraft, #charmcraft and others. Worth a read if you&#39;re using any of the *craft utilities in your package building workflows! https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/building-better-craft-linters-and-artifacts/84401 #Ubuntu

We&#39;re making good progress on upki, our collaboration with the rustls project to bring browser-grade web PKI capabilities to low level system utilities. The first beta release makes available revocation checks based on CRLite filters from Mozilla. #Canonical is hosting the backend service, and is now making a PPA available so you can try out upki in #Ubuntu, as well as a patched version of OpenSSL that makes use of the new capability. Give it a go and let us know! https://discourse.u...

Just replaced the Mediatek wireless card in my Framework 13 with an Intel AX210 vPro card. My experience with the Mediatek one has been that it&#39;s very fast when it&#39;s very fast, but the driver has some real shortcomings with regards to stability when roaming between APs. For anyone with a Ryzen powered Framework, the Intel wireless card works just fine, despite what the website might indicate π

AI tools are becoming ubiquitous. Adoption across the tech industry has been mixed, both in terms of which projects are embracing &quot;AI&quot; technologies, and in how companies are structuring their adoption My latest #blog post details how AI will play a part in both #Canonical and #Ubuntu&#39;s future, my framework for classifying AI features in the OS, and how Canonical is currently approaching adoption internally. https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/the-future-of-ai-in-ubuntu/811...

A fun read from @ubuntu@ubuntu.social's Charm Tech team about building "boring software" and integrating more novel approaches to test the impact that changes might have on a wider ecosystem.

Today the #Ubuntu Foundations team posted an update on our progress toward 100% uutils coreutils adoption in Ubuntu. As we stand for the release of 26.04 LTS, all utils except `cp`, `mv` and `rm` will be using uutils by default, with those remaining to be moved across early in the 26.10 cycle. I&#39;d like to acknowledge the huge amount of work that @sylvestre and the wider @uutils project put into this, and the collaboration with us and our partners on the security auditing and fixes.

Delighted to announce that I&#39;ll be delivering the keynote at #RustConf in Montreal later this year! The talk will be similar to my Rust Nation UK talk - titled &quot;Rust Adoption At Scale With Ubuntu&quot;, but with updates following the release of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS! Hope to see some of you there! #rustconf #rustconf26 #rust #ubuntu
