Canonical just launched a new version of Ubuntu 19.04. So What is New?

-

Probably the most important feature of Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) is the fact that is ships with the latest Linux 5.0 kernel series, which enables support for recent hardware components like AMD Radeon RX Vega M GPUs, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, as well as Intel Cannon Lake graphics.

Linux kernel 5.0 also adds significant USB 3.2 and Type-C, and power-savings improvements, along with KVM support for AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization, support for the P-State driver for Skylake X servers, support for memory protection keys on POWER architectures, and zcrypt support on IBM Z systems.

Another key feature of the Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) release is the latest GNOME 3.32 desktop environment, which brings smoother startup animations, higher frame rates, reduced CPU and GPU load, fractional scaling for HiDPI/4K screens in both X.Org Server and Wayland sessions, as well as desktop integrated with VMWare for bi-directional clipboard and file sharing.

F acebook has filed a lawsuit in the US against a New Zealand-based company and three individuals that it says have been selling 'fake likes' on Instagram. Through websites such as SocialEnvy.co, IGFamous.net and Likesocial.co, says Facebook, Social Media Series Limited and its directors made more than $9.4 million by selling fake engagement to Instagram users. The three directors of the company have been named locally as Arend Alexander Hubert Nollen, Leon Francis Hedges and David James Pekka Pasanen. Facebook says it sent cease-and-desist letters to two of the company's directors in July and December last year.

T his week was both fantastic and terrible for Facebook. Its latest earnings report shows the company has become an unstoppable force whose user growth and profits are immune to its never-ending parade of privacy and security breaches. Even the FCC appears willing to back down from its confrontation with the company and slap it with a fine that amounts to just a tiny fraction of its quarterly profit, making even legal violations nothing more than the cost of doing business. At the same time, Facebook confronts newly emboldened regulators around the world all clamoring for their own chance to bring the world’s most powerful gatekeeper to heel. The only problem is that Facebook may already be unstoppable. Facebook has much to cheer about. As has become increasingly clear, the public no longer seems to care about their digital privacy or security.
