Linux Foundation adopts A2A protocol to help solve one of AI's most pressing challenges

koto_feja/Getty Images The Linux Foundation announced at the Open Source Summit in Denver that it will now host the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol. Initially developed by Google and now supported by more than 100 leading technology companies, A2A is a crucial new open standard for secure and interoperable communication between AI agents. Also: What are AI agents? How to access a team of personalized assistants In his keynote presentation, Mike Smith, a Google staff software engineer, told the con

MCP: An (Accidentally) Universal Plugin System

There's this thing about USB-C that nobody really talks about. Not the part where we all had to buy new dongles (RIP my dongle drawer, 2010-2023). The other part. See, we all thought USB-C was just going to be about charging things and moving files around like the other USBs. Very serious. Very purposeful.

Show HN: Ariadne – A Rust implementation of aperiodic cryptography

Ariadne Suite ariadne.ciphernomad.org This repository contains the Ariadne Suite, our canonical Rust implementation of the Ariadne Protocol. The protocol is a novel cryptographic architecture we designed around the Labyrinth Construction to provide aperiodic, or non-repeating, cryptographic transformations. The project mission is to create resilient, open-source tools for digital sovereignty. This is independent research, released as a public good. Its continuation, development, and future s

KiCad and Wayland Support

These problems exist because Wayland’s design omits basic functionality that desktop applications for X11, Windows and macOS have relied on for decades—things like being able to position windows or warp the mouse cursor. This functionality was omitted by design, not oversight. The fragmentation doesn’t help either. GNOME interprets protocols one way, KDE another way, and smaller compositors yet another way. As application developers, we can’t depend on a consistent implementation of various Way
