Flathub's "2025 Year in Review" contains many interesting statistics. I find this one the most interesting: Despite years of full support for ARM in Linux distributions and wild predictions, ARM still has an absolutely marginal share of the Linux desktop user base.
could it be because many ARM devices are still unlikely to use Flatpak?
I mean I think that recent RPis & friends may still be grouped under the “Linux desktop” category, and in that case I don’t think that they’d be making up <1% of the market. It’s just that they’re more likely to use Debian-based solutions and perhaps Snap rather than Flatpak.
Same for many Termux on Android solutions (are they counted?), running on ARM but very unlikely to use Flatpak.
If you exclude these big segments I think that at the current state you’re mostly left with folks who install Linux on their ARM Macbooks or Surface devices, since even popular manufacturers among Linux users (like Tuxedo or Dell) don’t even ship ARM-based solutions yet.
From me it was a little sigh that despite all the predictions we still don't have ARM as a widely available hardware architecture for desktop usage.
Former Malaysian PM convicted for embezzlement
semafor.com/article/12/26/2025…
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was convicted of embezzling $539 million in state funds.
Razak, already facing years in jail for an earlier conviction, was part of a complex scandal involving the Malaysian financier Jho Low, who allegedly stole $4.5 billion from a state-owned development company and used the cash to, among other things, fund the Oscar-nominated movie The Wolf of Wall Street.

GrapheneOS version 2025122500 released
Tags:
- 2025122500 (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 9a, Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, emulator, generic, other targets)
Changes since the 2025121700 release:
- restore support for bypassing carriers disallowing choosing the cellular network mode (this was lost in a recent major version migration such as the port to Android 16 QPR1 but we aren't sure exactly when it regressed)
- remove poorly designed upstream end session button on the lockscreen (it remains available in the power menu)
- enable feature flag for new upstream end session button in the user switcher
- switch to vendor files from 2nd December 2025 release (BP4A.251205.006.E1) for devices with it available
- enable lockscreen widget support
- fix upstream system_server crash in NotificationHistoryProtoHelper
- Wi-Fi HAL: ignore debug logging requests on all Pixels with MTE support to avoid a crash from detecting an invalid memory access in the upstream code
- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add support for redirecting Google Play location service requests from within Google Play services itself which means the GrapheneOS provided network location will work for internal Play services features such as Google Maps location sharing when redirecting to the OS is enabled (which is the default) and the Location permission is granted to it
- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: force redirecting Google Play location service requests from within Google Play services and Android Auto when the Location permission is disabled for better error handling (neither properly handles the Location permission not being granted since it's always granted on any Google Mobile Services OS in practice instead of being explicitly opt-in)
- Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix a compatibility issue with the Chromium test suite
- Network Location: improve position estability accuracy and stability
- Network Location: prevent potential division by zero exception
- Network Location: improve experimental Wi-Fi RTT support which is still disabled in production
- kernel (6.1): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision
- kernel (6.6): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 6.6.119
- kernel (6.6): disable CONFIG_TLS to reduce attack surface
- kernel (6.12): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 6.12.63
- kernel (6.12): disable CONFIG_TLS to reduce attack surface
- include configuration for thermometer on 10th gen Pixels
- adevtool: auto-detect filesystem image type (ext4 vs. EROFS)
- adevtool: add support for canary builds
- adevtool: improve performance
- remove obsolete workaround for using a prebuilt recovery extension

Christmas is officially over. And honestly? It was a total flop:
I've been better off physically last year, even though I did a lot of sports this year I feel like I just don't have energy, am not even demotivated, but just, tired and don't get things done. The vibe wasn't there at all. If you asked me a month ago I would've felled it, and I do not know why that is.
I hope 2026 brings a better year overall, despite the name.
But now with the wining out of the way, I hope yall had a good, or fine enough christmas.

Würde ihm gern eine Community hier schmackhaft machen.

Home Alone II is the last movie that will run and will be the shutdown of Christmas automation proper. Directly thereafter, HKC Radio's annual Christmas replays will begin running - replaying all the live Christmasy content we did as a station. This will end on January 1 at 7 PM when the Digital Domain does its New Year's Day show, which we can tell you will feature Christmas leftovers. Sonic Synergy will interrupt this on Sunday, however.

Sure thing, my mobile carrier here in Saskatchewan Canada sends me a text message from a number in the Philippines urging me to redeem “points” by clicking a link to a Chinese domain (fun looking up .xin a new TLD that has a meaning of “trust”).
I like looking things up and I’m fascinated people will use their finite amount of life and some measure of tech skills to devote to phishing for phools.
the worst is that they would do it. And with URL shortener it makes it harder for people not versed into it to figure it out.
This big corp taught us how to get phished.
This advice is dependent on AI-induced errors being treated as an externality and thus not something the company is liable for.
I dearly hope that this does not become the case - the limited liability of corporations is bad enough. If companies are given any kind of legal pass for AI mistakes and hallucinations...
Somebody always has to bear the pain of mistakes. Capitalism and AI could combine to make sure the wealthy are never that person.

so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery!
now I'm bedridden for recovery, which is at least a great improvement.
I'm still about 1300$ away from paying all my storage bills, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much!
Here you go, don't bother installing additional tools on servers when you don't really need them.

Tmux and SSH Agent Forwarding
Tools are being developed to fix SSH Agent forwarding so when you ssh to a server and attach to a tmux session your agent forwarding still works. But this requires you have this custom tool on every server, available on every OS/distro, etc.Makefile.feld
Just tested it here, after adding it to my shell's rc stuff.
Works here.
I'm using sudo auth via ssh-key and my ssh-key is in my Apple secret enclave.
re secretive.dev - which I got from you.
I'm not using that on all my Mac, but at least two.

in reply to Alex Krier • • •Are you sure this is a text processor and not an end-to-end neural network?
If you train a neural net on human speech with plenty of examples of such patterns, it'll pick them up automatically, no special preprocessing necessary.
