Si vous avez vu https://killedbymozilla.com/, considérez le fait que Mozilla a principalement été ces dernières années un laboratoire de R&D : Rust, Servo, AV1, WebAssembly... que des technologies open-source qui profitent au domaine public !

C'est donc incomparable avec Google (et https://killedbygoogle.com/) qui n'a jamais libéré ces technologies, et qui les a juste utilisé pour accumuler plus de données sur vous.

From the welcome tour to application icons, you can read more details about all the updates GNOME 3.38 brings in our news highlight and release notes!

The days when your new laptop could only last two hours unplugged are over, but there’s still room for improvement, and for user empowerment! Bastien Nocera worked on that with a project to allow you to choose between "balanced", "power saving" and "performance" modes for your GNOME Desktop.

I’m pleased to announce the release of my first app made from scratch: Solanum - a time-management application for @gnome !

I’d like to credit @tbernard for the icon, and @Miredly for the sound used.

If you’re interested in trying it, you can now download it from Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Solanum

Can't wait for the next release to test GNOME-Friendly applications? Ondřej Holý explains how you can test applications in development with Flatpak: https://ondrej.holych.net/testing-applications-using-flatpak/

Re-ordering tabs via keyboard shortcuts is so much fun with @exalm's new widget 😍

The more I play non-violent games with no combat system, the more abhorrent I find games with combat systems. Don't get me wrong, both as a player and a designer, I love combat systems.

But the insane proportion of gameplay tied to violence, conflict and exploitation, and the fact it's seen as normal or even desirable in video games culture, make me feel increasingly bad. Is capitalism fun?

What about complex systems to explore empathy, ecological awareness, philosophy, utopia?

And one more app. Surprisingly, Nautilus was quite a lot easier to port than Ephy, although there is one thing that relied on GtkNotebook having no animations and not looks super awkward: switching Other Locations or back replaces the current tab with animation.

I have just released libhandy-rs v0.7 which targets libhandy v1.0 https://crates.io/crates/libhandy

The latest update from the GNOME Shell & Mutter blog covers the final development summary before our next release! Take a look at some of the larger changes coming up and start getting excited for 3.38: https://blogs.gnome.org/shell-dev/2020/09/08/the-road-to-mutter-gnome-shell-3-38/

Even more experimental stuff, but now there are tabs in fullscreen and keynav works.

libhandy 1.0.0 released. 🎉

We released it a bit in advance to let application maintainers update their submodules in time for the GNOME 3.38.0 release. 😀 That being said, we expect distros to ship libhandy as any other regular stable library. 😉

And it works. If anybody wants to try it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/merge_requests/814

Mariana Pícolo has been working on implementing the redesign of the shell notifications.

Oh hey, turns out Peek under X11 works. I thought it used the shell dbus interface everywhere. So, in that case:

Clarissa Borges has focused her GSoC project on building a UI library to make all of our websites more consistent.

A nice new GNOME app by Rafael Mardojai CM. :)

Video Trimmer 0.3 is out!

The main highlight is graceful video preview error handling: showing a message instead of inexplicably non-working interface or crashing.

Apart from that, Ctrl+Q for quitting the application has been implemented and a Dutch translation has been added by a contributor (thanks!).

GSoC intern, Kavan Mevada, re-wrote our Sound Recorder application! Using our design team's mockups, Kavan brought the application up to date with the HIG.
Check out the completely remodeled interface, including the brand new waveform, and much more: https://kavan.js.org/posts/sound-recorder-to-modern-hig-iii

It's 2020 and people still believe that open source means accepting every patch you ever receive.
