Many tools, like Metasploit, Sliver, Caido and Empire received important updates, the Linux kernel was updated to a more recent version, and the latest LTS version of Firefox was provided with all our privacy oriented patches.".
So I was flailing around blaming everybody and their pet hamster, because for a while it looked like a drm issue and then a netlink problem (it superficially coincided with separate issues with both of those subsystems).But I did eventually figure out how to trigger it reliably and then it bisected nicely, and a couple of days have passed, and I'm feeling much better about the release again.

Few, if any, web sites or web-based services have gone unscathed by the locust-like hordes of AI crawlers looking to consume (and then re-consume) all of the world's content. The Anubis project is designed to provide a first line of defense that blocks mindless bots—while granting real users access to sites without too much hassle. Anubis is a young project, not even a year old. However, its development is moving quickly, and the project seems to be enjoying rapid adoption. The most recent release of Anubis, version 1.20.0, includes a feature that many users have been interested in since the project launched: support for challenging clients without requiring users to have JavaScript turned on.
Version 3.3 of the Amarok music player has been released. This is the first release of Amarok based on KDE Frameworks 6 and Qt 6. Amarok 3.3 also includes a major rework of its audio engine to use GStreamer for audio playback.
The reworked audio engine provides unified feature set for all users and should provide a solid and future-proof sonic experience for years to come. Notable improvements have also landed to the database system: improved character set support helps with e.g. emojis in podcast descriptions and other very exotic symbols, date handling has been improved ('year 2038 problem'), and various other potential and actual database-related issues have been fixed.

Version 140 of the Thunderbird mail client has been released. Notable features include "dark message mode" to adapt message content to dark mode, the ability to easily transfer desktop settings to the mobile Thunderbird client, experimental support for Microsoft Exchange, as well as global controls for message threading and sort order.
Thunderbird 140 is an extended-support release (ESR) which will be supported for 12 months. However, the Thunderbird project is trying to encourage users to adopt the Release channel for monthly updates instead. The project is staggering upgrades to 140 for existing Thunderbird users in order to catch any significant bugs before they are widely deployed, but users can upgrade manually via the Help > About menu. See the release notes for a full list of changes.
