I think 6 months was an exaggeration.
I remember Mull taking very long and skipping multiple updates. K-9 Mail, now under the Mozilla Namespace, also took long, even though I am not sure if the updates are prereleases yet.
The same for the Fossify Apps, which took like a month or so longer to appear?
This may all be wanted or inherent because of submission and build delays.

CrowdStrike broke Debian and Rocky Linux months ago, but no one noticed
A widespread Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issue on Windows PCs disrupted operations across various sectors, notably impacting airlines, banks, and healthcare providers. The issue was caused by a problematic channel file delivered via an update from the popular cybersecurity service provider, CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike confirmed that this crash did not impact Mac or Linux PCs.
It turns out that similar problems have been occurring for months without much awareness, despite the fact that many may view this as an isolated incident. Users of Debian and Rocky Linux also experienced significant disruptions as a result of CrowdStrike updates, raising serious concerns about the company's software update and testing procedures. These occurrences highlight potential risks for customers who rely on their products daily.

CrowdStrike recently caused a widespread Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issue on Windows PCs, disrupting various sectors. However, this was not an isolated incident, CrowdStrike affected Linux PCs also.Pradeep Viswanathan (Neowin)
From people in the know about this kind of issue:
“KP Singh wrote a kernel security module that lets EDR implementations load ebpf into the kernel to monitor and act on security hooks and Crowdstrike now uses that rather than requiring its own kernel module that would otherwise absolutely have allowed this to happen"
Street-Complete, like Pokemon Go but for good.
I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.
It's satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.
Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.
Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.
Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.
Its a very constructive way to "be right" on the internet.
StreetComplete is godsend. Editing OSM in JOSM, iD, etc, is not trivial and involves reading a lot of documentation and forum posts (if you care to do things right), which of course isn't anywhere near practical for small devices when you're on the go, surveying.
This app changed my whole routine. The interface is really solid and helps the community target important tasks, rewarding it with little prizes. Althewhile, the gamification is kept at a very healthy level, to avoid attracting leaderboard seekers and whatnot, which would certainly lower the quality of contributions.
I think the contribution day grid (akin to GitHub's thing) as well as the dynamic category explorer, the badges and the OSM-related projects it reveals to you bit by bit really being everything together.
It's an incredible tool!
For the experienced (and this is not said lightly), there is the expert version, which adds more advanced editing features for those looking for a bit more control in regular SC.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Due to the ARM64 maintainer for the Linux kernel going on holiday, the ARM64 port updates have been submitted ahead of the opening of the Linux 6.11 merge window that will likely be on Monday or otherwise the following week depending upon if a 6.10-rc8 is warranted.
When it comes to the ARM64 (AArch64) changes for this next kernel version, there's been a lot of work on virtual CPU hotplug handling so that it should now be properly working on ARM64 ACPI-enabled systems.
Another change with Linux 6.11 ARM64 is expanding the speculative SSBS workaround to more CPU cores.
Arm's Speculative Store Bypass handling is now being extended for additional affected CPU cores of he A710, A720, X2, X3, X925, N2, and V2.
There are also ARM64 ACPI updates, GICv3 optimizations, perf updates for more hardware, and other smaller changes.
See this merge request for all the ARM64 feature patches slated for Linux 6.11.

A codec is a module that encodes and decodes (COder/DECoder...CoDec) information into a format. That format might be H.264 or VP9 or whatever.
So yes. NvEnc is a codec, or at least, it is when partnered with the hardware decoding also. It's a codec for multiple formats.

You've certainly paid for it, and it's focus is on giving acceptable quality at high speed. For example, for streaming.

OpenLoco: Modern, open source version of the classic transport simulation game
Welcome to OpenLoco
An open source re-implementation of Chris Sawyer’s LocomotionOpenLoco Developers (OpenLoco)
To retain the look and feel of the original game, we use the original game data for graphics and audio. This means it is required for players to have installed their own copy of Locomotion for OpenLoco to work. It can be bought on e.g. Steam or GOG.com.
Will OpenLoco ever become a standalone and independent game?
GNOME Foundation Announces Transition of Executive Director | Holly Million stepping down after 10 months
GNOME announced an interim director of Richard Littauer, who joined last week.
Holly's resignation appears to be personal, as she intends to pursue a PhD in Psychology.
like this
I'm looking to begin reading for a PhD, but I'll just take a random high-profile open source job that people expect commitment to, without actually committing.
That's not a personal related resignation, a bereavement, cancer diagnosis, family issues is a personal resignation.
I don't mean to criticise OP, they're just relating news.
As I pointed out elsewhere, if she was a warm body to fill a position and was completely hands-off, and that allowed everybody else to do what was needed, then it was overall a positive. However, a good leader can definitely help propel the group more than one who is just there.
Both examples are positive, but they aren't equally positive outcomes.

P2P Messaging and State Management: Todo List Demo.
a decentralized P2P todo list app to to demo the P2P framework used in the chat app.
github.com/positive-intentions…
It is a wrapper around peerjs. peerjs is good, but it can become complicated to use on bigger projects. This implementation is an attempt to create something like a framework/guideline for decentralized messaging and state management.
positive-intentions.github.io/…
how it works:
1. crypto-random ids are generated and used to connect to peerjs-server (to broker a webrtc connection)
2. peer1 shares this ID to another browser/tab/person (use the storybook props)
3. peers are then automatically connected.
4. add todo item
5. edit todo item
There are several things here to improve like:
- general cleanup throughout (its early stage for this project and missing all the nice things like good-code and unit-tests)
- adding extra encryption keys for messages comming in and going out (webrtc mandates encryption already)
- handling message callbacks
- key rotation

LibreOffice design, UX and UI updates – TDF’s Annual Report 2023 - The Document Foundation Blog
Design has been one of the major focus points of LibreOffice in the last few years, and the Design community has produced new icon sets, new MIME type icons, a hugely improved dark mode, and improvements to the NotebookBar (This is part of The Docume…Mike Saunders (The Document Foundation)
LibreOffice uses its own widget toolkit. It works similarly to wxWidgets, basically just maps to whatever toolkit is native on the current platform. It uses Win32 on Windows, Cocoa on macOS, Qt on KDE, GTK on GNOME and a few others.
That said, their current approach to dark themes is pretty bad. It can very easily conflict with the dark theme from the host toolkit and cause issues if misconfigured, which has caused a lot of people to think it just doesn't work. It does work, but it can be confusing as hell to configure correctly.
For instance, LibreOffice has a setting you can use to change the application colors. It barely works and you should never touch it. Just let it get the colors from your toolkit.
There's also the fact that LibreOffice doesn't use FDO icons and has its own icon setting which doesn't automatically follow dark/light theme. If you're using a dark theme, you have to manually switch the icon set to one that isn't impossible to see on a dark background.
Oh and if you want your documents to use a dark palette that's also a separate setting. Like I said, confusing.
Thanks for the view behind the curtains!
And yeah, dark in the document is another pain point, especially in IDE's/editors and if you switch between dark and light for day/night. They should just all have color/icon settings for dark/light separately.
What is FDO icons?
