Show notes

Raspberry Pi Imager levels up with org support and CM5 Secure Boot tricks. Valve drops a new Steam Controller with a 35-hour battery and Grip Sense, plus a client update to match. Ubuntu's Twitter got hacked — yes, really. Inkscape 1.4.4 squashes 24 crashes and picks up the pace. There's a Dirty Frag kernel flaw letting locals escalate privileges, so patch now. VideoLAN previews dav2d, an early AV2 decoder. And while RHEL dropped 32-bit, AlmaLinux 10.2 Beta is keeping the flame alive. For tips: chess-tui brings the board to your terminal, and csplit helps you slice files by context. There's also a free open-source mobile dev hackathon coming to the Netherlands on May 16.
