(Linux news in previous posts) FOSS NEWS Odysee receives huge UI improvements and some new features: new video player (mimicking YouTube's video player), home page top slide now displays a channel preview the 3 latest videos and a follow button, mini video player when hovering a video's thumbnail, floating player, search field on channel > Content pages, revamped content upload flow divided into multiple pages, Advanced Editor for writing comments (with text formatting buttons), favicons displayed next to links in text posts and comments FreeTube also received some UI revamp: new video player (also somewhat similar to YouTube's), some text changed to first letter uppercase instead of all uppercase, icons added to subscription page (Why does everyone copy YouTube's video player? It looks kinda ugly... Also, the bottom panel's buttons are barely visible if the video is bright. Odysee's new video player at least has a darker background for those buttons) Mastodon introduces Collections, its take on Bluesky starter packs for account discovery: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/4/mastodon-introduces-collections-its-take-on-bluesky-starter-packs-for-account-discovery/ Firefox 149.0.2 Improves the Browser Toolbar on Wayland for Linux Users: https://9to5linux.com/firefox-149-0-2-improves-the-browser-toolbar-on-wayland-for-linux-users Calibre 9.7 E-Book Manager Improves the Annotations Browser and Content Server: https://9to5linux.com/calibre-9-7-e-book-manager-improves-the-annotations-browser-and-content-server PeaZip 11.0 Archive Manager Speeds Up File Browsing and Enhances Bookmarks: https://9to5linux.com/peazip-11-0-archive-manager-speeds-up-file-browsing-and-enhances-bookmarks OBS Studio 32.1 released with overhauled audio mixer, WebRTC simulcast support, and more: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/4/obs-studio-32-1-released-with-overhauled-audio-mixer-webrtc-simulcast-support-and-more/ OpenShot 3.5.1 Video Editor Adds New Optimize Preview Built-In Proxy Workflow: https://9to5linux.com/openshot-3-5-1-video-editor-adds-new-optimize-preview-built-in-proxy-workflow PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 showcases an improved handheld gaming PC experience: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/playstation-3-emulator-rpcs3-showcases-an-improved-handheld-gaming-pc-experience/ FEX 2604 Released With Better Memory Savings For Running x86_64 Apps/Games On ARM64: https://www.phoronix.com/news/FEX-2604-Released (more FOSS news in comments) #WeeklyNews #OpenSource #FOSSNews #FOSS #OpenSourceNews #News #Odysee #FreeTube #Mastodon #Fedi #Fediverse #Firefox #Calibre #PeaZip #OBS #OBSStudio #OpenShot #RPCS3 #FEX #PS3 #FosseryTech
