Submission + - Valve's counter-suit of a patent troll headed to jury trial (iipla.org)
doug141 writes: Valve is counter-suing a patent troll and his attorneys alleging a bad-faith abuse of the justice system. The case could not be going worse for the troll. It is headed for jury trial next month. The outcome of the trial will likely have far-reaching implications for the parties involved and could set a precedent for intellectual property disputes.

Submission + - Linux-Inspired Album Released Under Creative Commons License (thefreelantern.com) 3
internet-redstar writes: An independent musician has released a full-length album inspired by Linux, GNU, and Free Software culture, making all tracks available directly from the project website under a Creative Commons CC-BY license.
The album can be downloaded in open formats including FLAC, MP3, and Opus, and is explicitly intended to be reused for talks, videos, streams, and remixes with attribution.
"Free by Design" will appear on major streaming platforms at the start of FOSDEM, but it was intentionally released first outside of closed platforms to encourage direct access and reuse.

Submission + - Wine 11 brings huge WoW64 overhaul, NTSYNC boost, and better gaming on Linux (nerds.xyz)
BrianFagioli writes: Wine 11.0 has officially landed, wrapping up a year of development with more than 6,000 code changes and a broad set of upgrades that touch gaming, desktop behavior, and long-standing architectural work. The biggest milestone is the completion of the new WoW64 model, which is now considered fully supported and allows 32-bit and even 16-bit applications to run in a cleaner way inside 64-bit prefixes. Wine also gains support for the NTSYNC kernel module now bundled in Linux 6.14, which cuts overhead from thread synchronization and should deliver observable performance benefits in games and multi-threaded applications. A single unified wine binary now replaces the old wine64 launcher, and several system behaviors align more closely with modern Windows, including syscall numbering and NT reparse points.
Graphics and desktop integration received more polish, including deeper Vulkan support (up to API 1.4.335), hardware-accelerated H.264 decoding through Direct3D, and further improvements to Wineâ(TM)s Wayland driver, which now supports clipboard operations, IMEs, and shaped windows. X11 users gain better window activation and fullscreen handling, and legacy DirectX features continue to expand under Wineâ(TM)s Vulkan renderer. Device support also moves forward, with better joystick handling, improved Bluetooth visibility and pairing, and working TWAIN scanning on 64-bit apps. Broad multimedia updates, DirectMusic refinements, .NET/XNA improvements, and developer-facing tools round out a release that appears focused on smoothing sharp edges rather than introducing flashy experiments. As always, source is live now and distro packages are rolling out.

Submission + - How Long Poop Stays in Your Body Could Impact Your Health, Study Finds (sciencealert.com)
alternative_right writes: According to a 2023 review that brought together data from dozens of studies, distinct differences can be seen between the gut microbiomes of 'speeders' and 'slowpokes'.
Since the human gut microbiome is intrinsically linked to health, this could have implications that have gone unnoticed before now.
In particular, slow transit times and constipation have been linked with metabolic and inflammatory disorders, as well as neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

Amazon has done that for years and this also: If you use a VPN different states have different prices for the same item. Put the lowest price one in your basket and pay for it and it will still ship to you at the lower rate. But wait, there is more, if you browse amazon not logged in (incognito mode) you often will see lower prices then logged in, which you can put in your cart and check out getting the lower price.
