The Tails project announced the release of version 2.12 of the operating system which focuses on "privacy and anonymity."
The new version includes Gnome Sound Recorder, removes I2P, runs on version 4.9.13 of the Linux kernel, and as per usual remedies "numerous security holes" in the previous release. Distro Watch has additional coverage.

On one hand it is creepy, on another hand Linux suffers from a fractured ecosystem that makes it hard for software to support. Firefox made a decision to bake DRM into their browser to support businesses like Netflix etc. who rely on securing content. So, is it all about making life easier for developers which incidentally makes it easier to compromise systems? Etc. etc. It is a tangled web (haha) and I sure wish we had some clarity.
Ah well, I'll stick to my soap box and the marginal efforts to avoid the worst of it.
