Subject: Rust-Based Project Aims To Provide Modern Thumbnails For Audio/Video Files On GNOME
Since Showtime replaced Totem as the default video player of GNOME, the desktop has lacked thumbnail capabilities for audio and video files. But to address that defect, the Rust-based gst-thumbnailers project has been in development to leverage GStreamer and paired with Rust to provide safe thumbnail generation capabilities for audio and video content...

Subject: Scheduler Woes: Bisecting Early Performance Regressions Found In Linux 6.19
Yesterday I noted some early performance regressions I've found on the Linux 6.19 kernel compared to Linux 6.18 LTS stable. Those initial benchmarks were on an AMD EPYC server. Since then I've seen many of the same workloads regressing similarly on an AMD Ryzen Threadripper workstation between Linux 6.18 and Linux 6.19 Git. Given the significant impact and AMD Threadripper processors always helping out to speed-up Linux kernel build times to make for a quicker and more manageable kernel bisecting experience, here is a look at some of the results for the Linux 6.19 performance regressions.

Subject: Super Easy KDE Plasma 6 Customization | Beautiful Clean Forest Green Setup
In this video, I showcase a Super Easy KDE Plasma 6 Customization using a clean and natural forest vibe. This setup uses the Layan theme combined with Kvantum Layan-Breath, creating a smooth and modern look with soft green tones. For the icons, I use Yet Another Monochrome, giving the desktop a minimal and consistent appearance. The forest wallpaper is forest illustration, so the visual style feels more personal and unique.

Subject: Bug-Catching "Smatch" Static Analysis On The Linux Kernel Under Threat Due To Funding Gap
For the past 15 years the Smatch static analysis tool has been routinely run for uncovering countless bugs within the Linux kernel. Dan Carpenter who authored Smatch and has been routinely analyzing the Linux kernel with it has authored more than 5,568 patches over the years to become one of the top bug fixers for the kernel. But his funding at Linaro has been cut and the project's future now in question...
