Mozilla has announced a new CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo. Prior to becoming CEO, Enzor-DeMeo was general manager of Firefox and led its "vision, strategy, and business performance". He has published a blog post about taking over from interim CEO Laura Chambers, and his plans for Mozilla and Firefox:

As Mozilla moves forward, we will focus on becoming the trusted software company. This is not a slogan. It is a direction that guides how we build and how we grow. It means three things.

  • First: Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.
  • Second: our business model must align with trust. We will grow through transparent monetization that people recognize and value.
  • Third: Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.

The final part of the 2025 Maintainers Summit was devoted to the kernel's development process itself. There were two sessions, one on continuity and succession planning, and the traditional discussion, led by Linus Torvalds, on any pain points that the community is experiencing. There was not a lot that developers were unhappy about, and there are now more explicit plans in the works to provide a process should Torvalds abruptly become unable to fill his role.

Avatar 3 – De feu et de cendres mérite-t-il vraiment vos 3 h 17 au cinéma ? Notre critique sans spoilers

Avatar

Trois ans après avoir réinvesti les salles obscures, le roi du box-office, James Cameron, revient pour consolider son empire. Mais passé l'effet de surprise du premier Avatar et la curiosité d'une première suite arrivée plus de dix ans après (La Voie de l'eau), Avatar 3 : De feu et de cendres doit prouver que la saga peut survivre à sa propre démesure. Verdict d'une épopée de 3 h 17, dans une critique garantie sans spoilers.
