Google unveils Jules Tools, its AI command line coding tool
Anyone who thought command line tools were in danger of being consigned to the history books, Google’s unveiling of Jules Tools put pay to that idea.
For anyone not familiar with Google’s offerings, Jules Tools is a command line interface for its Jules asynchronous coding agent. Google is hardly setting a trend here – there are command line interfaces available for other AIs – but with Jules itself only having launched in December, the speed is a little surprising.
Your Linux apps could be leaking data -- oniux is built to stop it
A new tool called oniux has landed for Linux users who take their privacy very seriously. If you want to make sure your apps never leak data outside of the Tor network, oniux could be your new favorite command-line utility.
Oniux takes any Linux app and drops it into its own isolated network environment. From there, the app can only connect to the internet using Tor. This isn’t a trick with proxy settings or patched libraries. It uses actual features built into the Linux kernel, giving it a level of protection that’s hard to beat.

This is something that Microsoft is now working to address, bringing a massively simplified approach to the app, greatly increasing ease of use and user friendliness.
