An alarmingly bad official Ubuntu 24.04 bpftrace binary package
(utoronto.ca)
Bpftrace is a more or less official part of Ubuntu; it's even in the Ubuntu 24.04 'main' repository, as opposed to one of the less supported ones. So I'll present things in the traditional illustrated form (slightly edited for line length reasons):

Backward-incompatible GRUB2 change causing BIOS setup bootloop
(op-co.de)
Exactly one year ago, after updating a bunch of Debian packages, my laptop stopped booting Linux. Instead, it briefly showed the GRUB banner, then rebooted into the BIOS setup. On every startup. Reproducibly. Last Friday 13th, I was bitten by this bug again, on a machine running Kali Linux, and had to spend an extra hour at work to fix it.

macOS Sequoia "autocorrects" .sql extension to .sql.s
(github.com/zed-industries)
Whenever I save a file a name it e.g. test.sql, zed saves it as test.sql.s without notifying me. I have no option to disable that behaviour. It doesn't matter wether I selected SQL syntax or not.
