Version 15.0 of the Tor Browser has been released:

This is our first stable release based on Firefox ESR 140, incorporating a year's worth of changes that have been shipped upstream in Firefox. As part of this process, we've also completed our annual ESR transition audit, where we reviewed and addressed around 200 Bugzilla issues for changes in Firefox that may negatively affect the privacy and security of Tor Browser users. Our final reports from this audit are now available in the tor-browser-spec repository on our GitLab instance.

This release inherits the vertical tabs feature, unified search button, as well as other new features and usability improvements in Firefox that have passed the Tor Project's audit.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake opère un fabuleux retour aux sources du JRPG

Il y a des genres qui ne vieillissent pas et des histoires qui traversent les époques, et le jeu de rôle japonais en regorge depuis plusieurs décennies. Parmi les sagas qui ont façonné le genre, Dragon Quest fait figure de référence absolue. Alors, forcément, quand les deux premiers épisodes reviennent dans une somptueuse version HD-2D, Numerama se devait de s’y plonger. Notre test.

Gabriel Zucman raconte n’importe quoi sur Steve Jobs et la rémunération dans la Silicon Valley

Dans une série de tweets, l'économiste Gabriel Zucman s'en prend à l'actionnariat qu'il ne juge pas lié à la bonne santé d'une entreprise. Un de ses exemples peut surprendre : Zucman cite Apple et Steve Jobs, qui aurait inventé l'iPhone en détenant 0 % d'Apple. C'est faux, et en totale contradiction avec les méthodes de rémunération de la Silicon Valley.

[$] Debian splits ftpmaster team

Debian's ftpmaster team has been responsible for allowing new packages to enter Debian, removing old packages, and otherwise maintaining Debian's package archive for more than two decades. As of October 26, the team is no more and its duties are being split between two new teams. The Archive Operations Team will focus on the infrastructure required to support the Debian archives, and the DFSG, Licensing & New Packages Team, which is responsible for reviewing packages entering the new queue. In time, this move could speed up processing of new packages, as well as making the teams more sustainable, but only after new members are recruited and trained. For now, the same folks are doing the work but spread across two teams.
