Installing apps on Linux? 4 ways it's different than any other OS - and mistakes to avoid

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-01-14 02:26:28

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When I first started using Linux in the late 90s, there was really only one way to install an application. You would download the app, unpack the archive, run the ./configure command, build the app with make, and then install it with make install. Inevitably, when you ran through that course, you would stumble because of dependencies and have to locate the dependency, run through the same process as you just did (only with the new software), and then find out the ne

Alien: Earth creator Noah Hawley knows the tables are stacked against him. He knows the Alien franchise is a tough one to crack and that the idea of bringing it to televsion might elicit groans from certain fans. But Hawley is also really good at his job. He somehow turned Fargo into a TV show worthy of the incredible film. He made Legion one of the best comic book shows in recent memory.

AI-powered browsers are nowhere near the easy future they promise, when they would be able to do complex multi-step tasks for you. However, the makers of these browsers are trying to make users’ lives easier by adding a way to easily repeat some prompts for the tasks they frequently perform. The Browser Company’s new Dia browser already has a skills feature, which lets users ask the browser to execute a command or create a code snippet based on a prompt.

The Next Thing You Smell Could Ruin Your Life

wired.com Lexi Pandell 2026-01-14 04:00:00

After my birth, my mother became allergic to the world. That’s the only way I knew how to put it. So many things could set her off: new carpeting, air fresheners, plastic off-gassing, diesel. Perfumes were among the worst offenders. On top of that, she developed terrible food allergies. The sound of her sniffling became the chorus of my childhood. Some days she couldn’t get out of bed. I’d peek into her darkened room and see her face pinched in discomfort. Her joints ached, her head swam. Docto

Super-resolution microscopes reveal new details of cells and disease

news.ycombinator.com Katarina Zimmer 2026-01-11 15:13:34

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells in human tissues, and observe “animalcules” — bacteria and protists — in the water of a lake. Increasingly powerful light microscopes followed, revealing cell organelles like the nucleus and energy-producing mitochondria.

James Gunn Talks Future Superman Plans, Dropping Henry Cavill

In 2022, the mid-credits scene for Black Adam none too subtly declared Cavill’s return and his team up (or fight) with Dwayne Johnson’s thunderous antihero.
