Posted on by Michael G

Even before its official release in December 2022, Drupal 10 became the talk of the town. One of the major reasons behind the buzz it created and continues to create even today is the presence of CKEditor 5. It is a cutting-edge JavaScript-rich text editor that possesses MVC architecture, virtual DOM, and a custom data model. On top of it, the text editor is enriched with an incredible UI and phenomenal UX which empowers users to manage media and tables seamlessly. They can also leverage the power of auto-formatting and other splendid features to create and edit engaging content.

As Drupal already enjoys the stature of being a cutting-edge content management system, its combination with CKEditor 5 has resulted in a top-notch digital experience platform. Here, we’ll take a deep plunge into the unfathomable potential of the powerful duo: CKEditor 5 and Drupal 10.

Parabola GNU/Linux-libre: OpenBLAS >= 0.3.23-2 update requires manual intervention

Posted on by Michael G

From Arch:

The openblas package prior to version 0.3.23-2 doesn’t ship optimized
LAPACK routine and CBLAS/LAPACKE interfaces for compatibility. This
decision has been reverted now, and the ability to choose a different
default system BLAS/LAPACK implementation while keeping openblas
installed is now provided to allow future co-installation of BLIS,
ATLAS, etc.

The default BLAS implementation will be used for most packages like
NumPy or R. Please install “blas-openblas” and “blas64-openblas” to make
OpenBLAS the default BLAS implementation, just like the old behavior.

Unfortunately you will get errors on updating if you currently have
OpenBLAS installed as the default BLAS implementation:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-2) breaks dependency ‘blas’ required by cblas
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-2) breaks dependency ‘blas’ required by
lapack

Please append your preferred default BLAS implementation to the regular
-Syu command line to get around it. For example:

# pacman -Syu blas-openblas

or

# pacman -Syu blas

EU suggests breaking up Google’s ad business in preliminary antitrust ruling

Posted on by Michael G
The European Commission has made a formal antitrust complaint against Google and its ad business. In a preliminary opinion, the regulator says Google has abused its dominant position in the digital advertising market. It says that forcing Google to sell off parts of its business may be the only remedy, if the company is found guilty of the charges. This would be a significant move targeting the main source of the search giant’s revenue, and a rare example of the EU recommending divestiture at this stage in an investigation. The Commission has already fined Google over three prior antitrust cases, but has only previously imposed “behavioral” remedies — changes to its business practices. Music to my ears. Companies exist to serve society, and if they no longer serve society by becoming too large, too powerful, and too wealthy, thereby massively restricting competition, they must be chopped up into smaller parts to create breathing room in the market. Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft – and that’s just the tech sector – all need to be broken up to allow newcomers to fairly compete. The US has taken similar actions with railroads, oil, airplanes, and telecommunications, and the technology market should be no different.
