OpenShot video editor is now available as a snap The OpenShot video editor is now available on the Canonical Snap Store. An official snap package of the Qt-based non-linear editing tool went live today, September 22. Users can install it from App Center, with the snap version being distinguished from the Deb build carried in the Ubuntu archives by virtue of being newer. OpenShot 4.0’s big release in August added a swathe of improvements, including long-awaited colour grading tools, better multitrack recording and better integration with ComfyUI AI. The sandboxed version of OpenShot isn’t quite “install and go”.

UN panel says AI safeguards can’t wait after Hugging Face hack A UN-backed scientific panel is urging governments to strengthen AI safeguards before researchers fully understand how advanced agents can escape control. Its first thematic assessment of the OpenAI-linked Hugging Face hack says the precautionary principle should apply because a rare failure could still cause catastrophic or irreversible harm.

Microsoft 365 backup gaps make full tenant recovery difficult Microsoft 365 has a resilience problem. If attackers compromise privileged accounts or applications, they may be able to delete data, identities, and configuration across the tenant. Restoring individual mailboxes or files is possible, but rebuilding a functional tenant with the correct identities, permissions, policies, and service connections remains difficult.

Ubuntu wiki gets its first overhaul in 16 years An all-new Ubuntu Wiki has gone live, giving the site its first substantive overhaul since 2010. The new wiki is powered by MediaWiki, and brings a slate of feature that improve both backend and frontend features for users. It’ll be easier for editors to maintain and work with, but also Canonical’s own ISV engineers who need to keep it running. Another reason for a revamp is the Ubuntu as a project has changed since the wiki was setup in 2006.

Obscura VPN now has a desktop Linux app Obscura VPN has launched a native Linux app, giving desktop users an easier way to access it (without wrangling Wireguard configuration files). Linux isn’t short of VPN providers, but Obscura, founded by former Bitcoin Core contributor Carl Dong, has a different pitch to most. Rather than your traffic being routed through a single provider, Obscura VPN uses a two-step relay: it acts as the ‘entry node’ (seeing your original IP address) while another VPN provider, Mullvad, acts as the ‘exit node’ (the websites you visit). Obscura’s Linux app also supports the QUIC-based stealth protocol, which disguises your VPN connection as […] You're reading Obscura VPN now has a desktop Linux app, a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu.

GPT-6 Astra hits 53% on Rails benchmark while Gemini regresses GPT-6 Astra climbed from 35% to 53% on the Agents on Rails coding benchmark when reasoning was pushed to maximum, but Gemini went backward despite higher cost and effort.
