We're excited to announce the release of GNOME 45! 🎉
This release brings many exciting updates thanks to the hard work of contributors all over the world! https://youtu.be/47aZgF6xmS0
🚨 ⚠️ Emergency PSA: A critical security exploit was discovered in the xz package recently, used for compression and decompression on nearly all Linux distributions.
Rawhide users ARE impacted and should immediately STOP using Rawhide until the package update is fully rolled back. (1/3)
The vulnerability may be present in Fedora 40 but it is not believed to be activated. Fedora 40 users are advised to use caution and update their systems soon when the rolled-back version is available, for more certainty.
More details available from Red Hat's blog on the vulnerability. A special, huge thank-you to our first responders and Fedora friends who have been working long hours to address this issue in top-priority. We couldn't do it without you all! 💪 (3/3)
Hey Fediverse! I just released #Multiplex, an app to watch torrents together. It provides an experience similar to Apple's SharePlay and Amazon's Prime Video Watch Party, except for any #torrent instead of a specific streaming service. Thanks to #WebRTC, it doesn't require a server to sync playback, and can use a gateway if a viewer can't use BitTorrent. It's written in #Go for #GNOME; check it out on GitHub (https://github.com/pojntfx/multiplex) or install it from Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/com.pojtinger.felicitas.Multiplex ^^
If you are a journalist, blogger, YouTuber, or someone you know who is and you are interested in writing an article about the next #kde Plasma 6 release, let me know. We finished working on the release announcement with all the juicy information, and I'll happily share a secret link with you and answer any of your questions.
@carlschwan I am (of course) very much interested in what this means for mobile and apps - but also for desktop, so I'd love to have the secret link (mostly for @TechnikTechnik) 🙂
If Fedora 40 had a headlining change, it might be @kde Plasma 6. The KDE SIG have brought over all the hard work from that community to give you a solid desktop experience from day 1.
We're also pushing technology forward by making this release Wayland-only, though X11 apps will still work!
Plasma 6 is also available for our Kinoite users. :kinoite:
Today we're celebrating the 26th anniversary of GNOME 🎉🎉
Thank you to all our outstanding contributors and community members for helping make the #GNOME project what it is today!
We don't wish to ruin our own surprise anniversary party, but we'd like to share that we celebrate 30 years of Debian on August 17 of this year. Join us! Plenty of Cheese and Cake to be had. :) Organize your very own Debian Day! https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDay/2023#debian#debianday
Do you work on GNOME or adjacent stuff? Do you want to help improve the GNOME desktop around usability, reliability, safety, digital well-being?
GET PAID TO DO IT!
The @gnome Foundation is offering a one-year contract (with potential to extend) to work on the above on behalf of the Foundation. You’d probably interact with me, the GNOME design team, and core maintainers of GNOME components.
