https://www.phoronix.com/news/Steven-Deobald-Steps-Down
(That's really sad, based on what I heard, Steven has been one of the best executive directors in the past couple of years, he had pretty solid plans which would greatly help the foundation come out of the crisis they face right now. Hope Allan will continue Steven's work, implement his plans in practice. It's pretty weird though, why all executive directors leave after a few months, I think the community would deserve some explanation about what's going on beyond the scenes, since the GNOME project is mainly driven by the community, we are your stakeholders, GNOME.)

GNOME celebrates 28th anniversary, GNOME 49 beta available with redesigned search popover in Nautilus, media controls and shutdown/restart options added to lock screen, Webflow authentication support for Nextcloud in Online Accounts, Evince document reader replaced with Papers, per-monitor brightness sliders in Quick Settings, etc.:
https://9to5linux.com/gnome-49-beta-released-for-public-testing-on-gnomes-28th-anniversary

(As for Papers, it's a decent one, but I prefer Evince, because I don't really like the buttons placed on the bottom right in Papers, because I usually have the university course book PDF opened on the left, Joplin tiled to the right, those buttons are "in the way" for my eyes lol. But Evince will probably stay available in the repos and on Flathub for like 8-10 or more years, like it's the case with many discontinued or inactive projects (see Adobe Acrobat Reader on Flathub lol) so I'm not too worried about this. Same with Portfolio on Phosh, it's ditched for Nautilus, which still isn't that convenient to use on mobile imo, but luckily I can still use Portfolio from Flathub.)

(It's a pretty cool concept overall, but I think giving KDE Plasma for Linux newcomers isn't really the best idea, because the tons of customization options, and occasional bugs here and there might scare away some Windows users. I would rather give them Zorin OS with their customized version of GNOME, or Linux Mint / LMDE with Cinnamon. (No, I'm not a KDE hater, I think it's a great option for those who want to fully customize their desktop experience, or the PewDiePie type of guys who already adopted the mindset of tweaking around, playing around with the options, not wanting to go back to Windows when encountering a bug, but it's not for every newcomer.))

OPTION TO DOWNLOAD ALL PROGRAMMING CHEATSHEETS PER LANGUAGE
On the menu pages of cheatsheets per language (e.g. HTML cheatsheets page), there's now an option (in fact, two options), to download all cheatsheets for the specific language (currently HTML, CSS and JavaScript) in the form of ODT (LibreOffice Writer) or Markdown files, included in zip. This option is included in both the original and the Min site.
Cheatsheets on original site: https://fosseryweb.codeberg.page/cheatsheets/
Cheatsheets on Min site: https://fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/cheatsheets/
OTHER UPDATES
- Dates added to articles (on both original and Min site) - things are changing quickly in the tech world, so it can be useful to see how up-to-date is an article.
- "Redirect" pages removed - in case you missed it, in the previous update, some pages of the original site moved to different URL due to code structure changes, I left "redirect" pages on the old URLs to notify those who have those pages bookmarked
- Outdated cheatsheet and article download links are corrected on Min site.
- A heading is corrected in the JS Basic Datatypes - String Cheatsheet of the original site, to include the actual title instead of [hook]
- Contribution information is added to the README file in the repos of both sites
- The original site is tested in some older/legacy browsers (some really old Firefox versions, Mypal, K-Meleon) - I created a ReactOS VM originally to test the site in Mypal, and then ended up testing it in every other browser I found in the software manager, although some of them didn't even work at all, so I didn't include them in the list of tested browsers. It also turned out that the sites (both original and Min) are considered "insecure" by Firefox versions older than 52 ESR, so they don't even load. Compatibility info on the About page (https://fosseryweb.codeberg.page/about.html#tested-browsers).
- A typo is fixed in the Timeline page of the original site.

While focusing on code refactor, bug fixes and minor improvements in the last update, this update brings much more exciting changes, including randomized quiz questions, option to download all programming cheatsheets per language, and more.
RANDOMIZED QUIZ QUESTION
This one is the most requested feature according to the User Survey, and now it's here, in fact, I went even further then originally planned. I didn't just randomize the questions, but also the answers to the individual questions, so you might get the same question when taking the same quiz multiple times, but with different answer options, including different correct answer (e.g. for the "Which Linux distro is Debian-based?" question, the correct answer isn't always the same, since there are a ton of Debian-based distros out there)! In each quiz, 10 questions are chosen randomly each time from a pool of question, and within a question, 1 correct and 3 incorrect answers are also chosen randomly. There are 54 possible questions for the Linux quiz, 55 for HTML-CSS-JS quiz, 26 for "Programs, services, FOSS quiz" (I'll add more questions over time).
All quizzes: https://fosseryweb.codeberg.page/quizzes/
> Wait, what? Programs, services, FOSS quiz? What happened with the Privacy quiz?
See reply 😉

Odysee presents new AR-based payment system, discontinues Stripe payment and LBC content boosting:
https://odysee.com/@Odysee:8/introducingdecentralizedpaymentsonodyseeforeveryoneeverywhere:7
(Discontinuing LBC support probably means the platform won't be connected to the LBRY blockchain anymore. Also, content discoverability will be hurt pretty much, even if creators can get monetized, smaller creators will have a much harder time being discovered. I get that their new parent company Arweave is probably forcing them to switch to their crypto stuff and ditch LBRY, but it will probably just hurt the platform in the long run, especially because the new payment system requires signing up to an additional service, which many people are not a big fan of.)
