The DRM Panic handler in Linux 6.10 that is used for presenting a visual error message in case of kernel panics and similar when CONFIG_VT is disabled continues seeing new features.

With Linux 6.11, the DRM Panic display can now handle monochrome logos.

With the code in Linux 6.10 when DRM Panic is triggered, an ASCII art version of Linux's mascot, Tux the penguin, is rendered as part of the display.

If ASCII art on error messages doesn't satisfy your tastes in 2024+, the DRM Panic code will be able to support a monochrome graphical logo that leverages the Linux kernel's boot-up logo support.

This monochrome logo support in the DRM Panic handler was sent out as part of this week's drm-misc-next pull request ahead of the Linux 6.11 merge window in July.

This week's drm-misc-next material also includes TTM memory management improvements, various fixes to the smaller Direct Rendering Manager drivers, and also the previously talked about monochrome TV support for the Raspberry Pi.

Brazil decriminalized marijuana for personal use on Wednesday, making the nation of 203 million the largest to take such a measure and the latest sign of a growing global acceptance of the drug.

Brazil’s Supreme Court ruled that Brazilians could possess up to 40 grams of cannabis — roughly enough for 80 joints — without facing penalties, a decision that would take effect within days and stand for the next 18 months.

Many more countries have decriminalized marijuana, meaning they abolished criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of the drug, though it technically remains illegal and authorities still target traffickers.

He was sentenced to two months of community service, but his lawyer appealed, arguing that punishing drug users violated Brazil’s Constitution.

In the ruling, Chief Justice Luís Roberto Barroso said the decision does not condone marijuana use but rather recognized failed drug policies, which have led to the mass incarceration of poor youth, pushing many of them into organized crime.

“Skin color counts when it comes to how drug law is applied,” said Cristiano Maronna, director of Justa, a research group that investigates the Brazilian justice system.

A dozen social and racial justice groups said Thursday that the federal effort to require a sale or ban of TikTok would suppress speech from minority communities by disrupting a critical tool many use to establish connections online and advocate for causes.

Thursday is the deadline for third-party groups to file documents supporting the social video platform and eight TikTok creators who sued the U.S. government last month.

On Wednesday evening, seven other free speech-oriented advocacy groups submitted a brief to the court, arguing the law would infringe on the First Amendment and make it impossible for users to associate on the app.

Both groups have received donations from the Susquehanna Foundation, a sister organization to the trading firm co-founded by prominent ByteDance investor and Republican megadonor Jeff Yass.

The federal law, which President Joe Biden signed as part of a larger foreign aid package in April, is the U.S. government’s attempt to deal with long-running national security concerns about TikTok’s presence and reach in the U.S.

The Justice Department said in a statement last week that it’s looking forward to defending the recently enacted legislation, which addresses “critical national security concerns in a manner that is consistent with the First Amendment and other constitutional limitations.”

Mr Parker is also heard describing Islam as "the most disgusting cult out" and suggesting army recruits should carry out “target practice” by shooting at small boats bringing illegal migrants to the UK.At one point Mr Parker tells voters Reform would be "kicking all the Muslims out of the mosques and turning them into Wetherspoons".During campaigning, he advises the undercover reporter to use the term "illegal" when discussing immigration, especially when addressing non-white households.Ahead of the publication of the footage, Mr Parker made a statement to Channel 4 claiming "neither Nigel Farage personally or the Reform Party are aware of my personal views on immigration".Mr Parker said: “I have never discussed immigration with either Nigel Farage or the Reform Party and that any comments made by me during those recordings are my own personal views on any subject I commented on.

“I would therefore like to apologise profusely to Nigel Farage and the Reform Party if my personal views have reflected badly on them and brought them into disrepute as this was not my intention.

"Well, compare that to the international price fixing and betting ring that is the modern day Conservative Party.

Her 18th-century offices at the top of the picturesque old town in Tallinn marry elegance with efficiency, with the neoclassical cabinet chamber capable of projecting business papers on to the wall.

But for the last year Kallas has appeared destined to leave the hothouse of Estonian politics, and on Thursday she was approved by EU leaders as the bloc’s next high representative for foreign policy.

High representatives are supposed to meld the conflicting voices of 27 countries into one unifying position, even if that can be fraught and frustrating – as Borrell has found in his clear desire to be more critical of Israel’s war in Gaza.

She has not been an advocate of majority voting in EU foreign policy, a switch that might ease the need to accommodate Hungary’s views on Russia, but would, critics say, leave the big countries too dominant.

When others such as Emmanuel Macron argued there was a chance to deter Putin from launching his assault on Kyiv, Kallas, influenced by her reading of history, was convinced that dissuasion was futile.

Kallas is the first to admit she is more popular internationally than at home, and her decision to raise taxes to increase defence spending, anathema to a liberal party, has been a form of political suicide domestically.

According to an unnamed defector’s testimony, the young man from South Hwanghae province was publicly executed in 2022 for listening to 70 South Korean songs, watching three films, and distributing them, falling foul of a North Korean law adopted in 2020 that bans “reactionary ideology and culture”.

The report details extensive efforts by North Korean authorities to control outside information flow, especially targeting the youth.

Mobile phones are also frequently inspected for contact name spellings, expressions, and slang terms perceived to be of South Korean influence, the report claims.

In 2022, the US government-funded Radio Free Asia said the regime was cracking down on “capitalist” fashion and hairstyles, targeting skinny jeans and T-shirts bearing foreign words, as well as dyed or long hair, it said.

The woman, who escaped from North Korea on a wooden boat last October, also shed light on the hidden resentment against the regime.

“Of course we cannot say anything bad against Kim Jong-un publicly, but among close friends, lovers or family members, we do say those words,” she claimed.

Temu—the Chinese shopping app that has rapidly grown so popular in the US that even Amazon is reportedly trying to copy it—is "dangerous malware" that's secretly monetizing a broad swath of unauthorized user data, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin alleged in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Griffin fears that Temu is capable of accessing virtually all data on a person's phone, exposing both users and non-users to extreme privacy and security risks.

In their report, Grizzly Research alleged that PDD Holdings is a “fraudulent company” and that “Temu is cleverly hidden spyware that poses an urgent security threat to United States national interests.”

Investigators agreed, the lawsuit said, concluding “we strongly suspect that Temu is already, or intends to, illegally sell stolen data from Western country customers to sustain a business model that is otherwise doomed for failure."

Researchers found that Pinduoduo "was programmed to bypass users’ cell phone security in order to monitor activities on other apps, check notifications, read private messages, and change settings," the lawsuit said.

A Temu spokesperson provided a statement to Ars, discrediting Grizzly Research's investigation and confirming that the company was "surprised and disappointed by the Arkansas Attorney General's Office for filing the lawsuit without any independent fact-finding."

A Chinese woman who tried to shield a Japanese mother and her child from a knife attack has died.Hu Youping was working as a school bus attendant in Suzhou city when a man attacked a Japanese woman and her child at a bus stop outside a Japanese school.She suffered serious injuries while trying to restrain him.Tributes for her have poured out online and the local government has said she will be given the title of "Righteous and Courageous Role Model".

The Japanese embassy in China also lowered its flag to half-mast to honour Ms Hu.

It followed another stabbing earlier this month, which injured four US university instructors at a park in Jilin, in China's north-east.

Chinese state newspaper Global Times ran an editorial on Friday paying tribute to Ms Hu, where it also claimed that "China is undoubtedly still one of the safest countries in the world".Separately, the newspaper reported that Weibo had removed 759 posts that "incited nationalist sentiment" following the attack.

These posts contained "extreme opinions" that "promoted group hatred and even applauded criminal behaviour in the name of patriotism".The stabbing in Suzhou sparked concern among the local Japanese community and led the embassy to issue a safety alert warning its citizens living in China to take precautions while they are out.China's foreign ministry said the incident was "regrettable" and that it will "continue to take effective measures to earnestly protect the safety of all foreigners in China".China has seen a spate of knife attacks in the past year.

In May, two people were killed and 10 others injured in such an attack at a primary school in the southern Jiangxi province.

Georgia's path to EU membership is being blocked by the passing of a controversial foreign influence law, European leaders have said at a summit in Brussels.

"The European Council calls on Georgia’s authorities to clarify their intentions by reversing the current course of action which jeopardises Georgia’s EU path," the leaders said in a document released on Thursday.They added that they maintained their "steadfast solidarity with the Georgian people" and expressed a "readiness to continue supporting Georgians on their path towards a European future".

Georgia was granted EU candidate country status in December after being given a list of steps it needed to take to proceed, including justice reform.

Under it, media and non-governmental organisations that receive over 20% of their funding from abroad will have to register as “organisations acting in the interest of a foreign power”, submit themselves to stringent audits, or face punitive fines.The Georgian government argues the rules will ensure transparency of money flowing to support NGOs and protect Georgia from foreign interference.Its opponents have dubbed it "Russian law” because of its similarities with an existing law in Russia and believe the real reason for the legislation is to stifle dissent ahead of October's parliamentary elections.

The US has previously said the law threatens free speech.Thousands of Georgians have protested against it and there have been reports of NGO workers, activists and opposition politicians receiving threats or being physically assaulted at rallies.

They said they would continue to monitor the situation in Georgia closely and called on the government to ensure the upcoming elections were "free and fair".
