The GNOME Project has officially released GNOME 48.7, a maintenance update for the old-stable GNOME 48 desktop environment series, describing it as a “boring bug-fix update”.

Many core modules in the GNOME stack received new version bumps: at-spi2-core moved from 2.56.5 to 2.56.7; Boxes from 48.0 to 48.1; Control Center from 48.4 to 48.5; Shell from 48.5 to 48.7; Mutter from 48.5 to 48.7; LibAdwaita from 1.7.7 to 1.7.9; GTK+-3 from 3.24.50 to 3.24.51; and others.

While TUXEDO Computers recently ended their efforts for a Snapdragon X Elite Linux laptop, their Linux Intel/AMD laptop efforts continue going well and recently they have been posting patches working to enhance the upstream kernel support for those x86_64 devices.

Now that there's a Uniwill laptop driver set to appear in Linux 6.19, TUXEDO Computers has been working to build off that upstream-destined driver with some TUXEDO laptops being manufactured by Uniwill.

Announced last month was the NTFSPLUS driver as a new NTFS file-system driver for the Linux kernel with better write performance and more features compared to the existing NTFS options. A second iteration of that driver was recently queued into "ntfs-next" raising prospects that this NTFSPLUS driver could soon attempt to land in the mainline Linux kernel.

Namjae Jeon as the exFAT Linux driver developer, KSMBD maintainer, and contributions to other Linux storage code is the one that has been leading the NTFSPLUS effort. The NTFSPLUS driver offers better performance, a cleaner codebase, and other improvements compared to Paragon's NTFS3 driver that is within maintenance mode in the mainline kernel and compared to the other NTFS read-only kernel driver.

Heavy rain submerged displacement tents in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, deepening the suffering of Palestinians already struggling with the hardships of being uprooted.

The downpour turned camps in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis into pools of mud and water, making movement nearly impossible, local media reported.

Floodwater seeped into many tents, endangering families and their few remaining belongings.

Cold weather has compounded the misery of children and the elderly, amid severe shortages of blankets, winter clothing and heating.

Weather conditions are worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis for hundreds of thousands of displaced people.

Western politicians have failed to speak up about the slaughter of civilians in Sudan because the United Arab Emirates has bought and paid for their silence, according to a top Sudanese general.

Lieutenant General Yasser al-Atta, a member of Sudan’s governing Sovereignty Council and the military’s second in command, told journalists that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed has launched a race war against the Sudanese people.

He accused the ruler of Abu Dhabi of supporting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which has been carrying out massacres and atrocities across Sudan over the past two and a half years of war, most recently in the Darfur city of el-Fasher.
