Orion web browser enters ‘early beta’ on Linux
A public beta of Orion for Linux, a WebKit-based web browser from paid search engine Kagi, is now available for testing. For those unfamiliar with it, Orion is a privacy-focused web browser available for macOS and iOS. Kagi announced plans for a Linux port last year, with subscribers to its Orion+ support tier getting access to Linux alpha builds in January. Now comes a build that anyone can try.

Kernel prepatch 7.0-rc4
Linus has released 7.0-rc4 for testing. Then Thursday hit with the networking pull. And then on Friday everybody else decided to send in their work for the week, with a few more trickling in over the weekend. End result: what had for a short few days looked like a nice calm week turned into another "bigger than usual" release candidate. To be fair, that "almost everything comes in at the end of the week" is 100% normal, and none of this is surprising. I was admittedly hoping that things would start to calm down, but that was not to be. I no longer really believe that it was the one extra week we had last release cycle: I'm starting to suspect it's the psychological result of "hey, new major number", and people are just being a bit more active as a result.

New Firefox logo coming? Mozilla’s socials suggest so…
Some (not exactly subtle) changes on Firefox’s official social media accounts indicate that the browser is about to get a new logo – or a reputation for attention seeking. Avatars on the browser’s official social media accounts have changed from the familiar Firefox logo to an empty purple ‘globe’, which is the centre of the normal logo, sans the orange, flamed-tailed fox usually wrapped around. If you don’t quite see it, this animated reelshared on the Firefox Instagram account makes it much easier to see: Mozilla hasn’t explicitly said “a new logo is coming”, but it acknowledged its fox-less avatars […]
