Agreed. The call trace shows it occurred as part of a drm_ function, which is related to the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) subsystem.
There’s a chance it might not be the root cause, but the more obvious answer is that the Nvidia driver managed to corrupt a kernel data structure.
Please fill in the blanks:
“Keeping users safe on Android is our top priority,” Android president Sameer Samat wrote on X. “Scammers rely on anonymity to scale their attacks. Right now, if we block a bad app, they can often just create a new app and try again. Verification stops this “whack-a-mole” cycle by requiring a real identity – making it much harder and costlier to repeatedly distribute harmful apps.
So, you’re actually going to put an effort in stopping people from publishing malware through the Play Store, right?
Right?
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to write software in assembly that is very readable. It takes thought but assembly has the edge with its miniscule footprint and zero-dependency runtime.
Apple gets away with it by having an ungodly massive memory bus.
It’s kind of impressive how effective Apple’s marketing team was towards developers when they started that push towards ARM PCs. A lot of people can remember that having shared memory benefits from not having to copy memory between the CPU and GPU, but barely any of them remember that the only reason it’s feasible is because Apple gave their devices insanely high memory bandwidth.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, look no further than the original Nintendo Switch. With an incredible 64-bit memory bus and 1600MHz memory clock speed, it was already being bottlenecked by its memory bandwidth 2 years into its lifespan. And that’s counting first/second-party titles like the Link’s Awakening remaster, not even shitty ports of games made for other consoles.

I agree with them when they say distros shouldn’t be theming their apps by default. When the packager breaks a package, it misleadingly gives users the impression that the software is at fault. Unless the distro itself is willing to field all the user complaints and bug reports, it just ends up causing problems for the maintainers.
Where I will never agree with them is in the demand that the developer has exclusive control over the application icon. It’s inconsequential to the software’s functionality, and if anyone thinks their brand should have more rights to a computer than the person who owns it, they can rightfully fuck off with the likes of Apple and Microsoft.
App Icons are the identity of an app. Changing an app’s icon denies the developer the possibility to control their brand.
Here’s an novel solution to that: fuck off! A lot of us use Linux because we’re sick of corporations and rightsholders trying to control how we use our devices while treating us as marketing tools by shoving their “vision” in our face.
And the taxpayer money spent?
… To shreds you say …
Neither did I. Now I just don’t have time for sleep.
Even if the server had zero knowledge of your private keys (which is doubtful), I’m sure the client code won’t have any backdoors. It’s only the social media “platform” owned by the world’s most thin-skinned billionaire.

Curious what kind of real world use makes it a good choice?
It’s declarative. Everything is (usually) configured via Nix itself, without requiring manual steps of running additional commands. This ends up being pretty useful when you have a fleet of devices that you want to configure.
Changing config is atomic. If you end up breaking your system when trying to tweak it, you can boot into the previous generation and try again with different settings.
I wouldn’t count on it. I’m 100% expecting them to follow up on this in another update, blocking devices from wirelessly debugging themselves for “security” reasons.
I bet the next step will be to block a device from wireless debugging itself, so they can kill Shizuku.
How would this impact F-Droid in any way?
F-Droid itself builds the APKs to ensure that they’re reproducible and not signed on a development machine that could be compromised.

With these changes, either:
Wow, you weren’t kidding.
Over half of the first 20 items focus on AI, and that’s not even considering the ads.
Frankly insurance companies need to be holding the car manufacturer’s feet to the fire by not insuring cars that can be trivially stolen like this.
The governments should be, too.
Instead, some countries are taking the approach of banning Flipper Zeros or restricting their sale instead. That’s like outlawing flathead screwdrivers because you can use them to pop improperly-installed doors off of their hinges.
It’s on the car manufacturers to fix their poor security, not on tool suppliers to not make tools.
It’s hard to not despise Collective Shout. On top of morality policing, they can’t help but to be annoyingly arrogant about it in the most regressive ways possible.
“it is clear many of the men defending their r*pe games perpetrate crimes of violence against women, because they are doing it to us right now.”
Conservatives already tried that line in the 90s, claiming violent games cause violent children. Guess what— it’s now a trillion-dollar industry.
Our objection has always been clearly stated - rpe, incst, and child sexual abuse.
“Oh, won’t somebody think of the children!”
Roper stated, "If Steam and itch.io had been moderating their platforms as they should have, there would have been no need to temporarily delist games to ensure they were not in violation of their policies.
Oh, look, DARVO. Let’s blame the platforms that temporarily lost their ability to take credit card payments for developers losing money, not the people bitching to Visa and Mastercard.
there’s a read error and now you will be in prison for five more years.
Prisoners don’t have to be paid minimum wage, and there’s an entire industry around using prisoners as dirty cheap labor. Anything that makes it harder for them to get out of the system is additional revenue for private prisons, not something the people who have the power to change it want to see solved.
“Neither” is also an acceptable answer.
