Uber One is rolling out family sharing and some sweet holiday perks, like free deliveries and a $25 Best Buy discount via Uber Eats. Because who *doesn't* want to subsidize their family's late-night snack habits? Are these perks actually good, or just another reason to question your subscription choices?

Microsoft Intune does not have any built-in options for updating installed applications on Windows computers.
If you want to update applications on managed computers, you must manually create a new version of the given application and deploy it to all computers. However, this is quite a lot of manual work, and you also have to monitor the availability of new versions of installed applications, which is another lot of manual work.

Raspberry Pi Imager 1.9.4 Released with Various Changes
A new version of the Raspberry Pi Imager, a free, open source and cross-platform image writing utility (think Etcher, but much redder) is out with an array of modest improvements. Serving as the first release since last September, Raspberry Pi Imager 1.9.4 adds to the big UI changes the previous version brought with some quality-of-life adjustments. For instance, in the OS customisation settings there’s an Enable SSH tab. This now uses “regex to perform some light validation” of public keys to avoid boot failures, having previously just assumed any key entered was correct. Raspberry Pi Imager 9.4 includes an ‘Exclude :sys_more_orange:

Linux App Release Roundup: May 2025
May saw another sizeable set of Linux app updates, including a big update to system monitor tool Mission Centre and long-awaited version bump to system cleaner BleachBit. We also got new versions of web browsers Mozilla Firefox and Vivaldi; the NordVPN Linux app gained a GUI; and more — but they weren’t the only releases of note. That’s why I do these Linux app release roundups: I like to highlight app updates that didn’t warrant a headline of their own, but are still worth knowing about. As always, if you hear about a notable app update I haven’t covered, tips :sys_more_orange:

Mozilla Firefox 139 Brings Custom New Tab Wallpapers
The new Mozilla Firefox 139 release is rolling out from today and, compared to recent releases of late, it’s far lighter on user-facing changes. Not that every release can, of course. We have been spoiled: Firefox 136 came with vertical tabs, Firefox 137 brought tab grouping and revamped address bar, while last month’s Firefox 138 release debuted a proper profile manager/switcher. By comparison, the headline change in Firefox 139, per its release notes, is full-page translations on extension pages (but only if they start with the moz-extension:// URL scheme). Mozilla say this delivers a “popular request” from users. Elsewhere, Firefox 139 :sys_more_orange:

High Tide (Linux TIDAL App) Improvements
It’s been a few months since I spotlighted High Tide, a promising third-party TIDAL client for Linux desktops that’s under active development. I thought I’d recap some of its recent improvements. Before I do: keep in mind High Tide is still in development. There is no stable release, and many features are missing or a WIP. It’s also not a local music player; you need to be a paid subscriber of the TIDAL music streaming service to use this. It is a solid (and relatively reliable) alternative to the official TIDAL web app though, and installing it on Ubuntu isn’t :sys_more_orange:

Vivaldi 7.4 Update Adds Keyboard Shortcut Controls
A new version of the Vivaldi web browser is available to download, carrying changes said to make our collective “everyday browsing smoother, faster, and just a little more delightful.” How does Vivaldi 7.4 make browsing the increasingly gamified, algorithmically manipulative and Ai slopified modern web more ‘delightful’? Shortcuts. More specifically, Vivaldi 7.4 gives you the ability to “fine-tune” how shortcuts behave on a per-site basis. If you want a website’s shortcuts to take priority over Vivaldi’s, you can. “It’s about putting you in control, making sure your shortcuts work where and when you need them most”, says Jon von Tetzchner, :sys_more_orange:

For the benefit of those with dusty memories, BleachBit is a free, open source system cleaner for Windows and Linux, written in Python and GTK 3. Similar to other apps of its kind, BleachBit helps free up disk space by cleaning out caches, cookies, and other transient cruft.

Mission Center 1.0 Adds New Features
Linux system monitoring app Mission Center has put out its first update in 6 months – and it’s a big one! Mission Center 1.0 adds new hardware tracking, UI tweaks, and refactors its backend to provide palapble performance improvements, boost the app’s responsiveness and minimise ‘time deviations between refresh cycles’. The latter may sound a tad dry on the ‘excitement’ scale but, arguably, it’s a big thing: a real-time monitoring app is used for, well, real-time monitoring and those tweaks ensure hardware and system process info shown is more precise.

At long last, Mozilla Firefox has native profile management features – and they don’t suck! The feature, which begins rolling out in today’s Firefox 138 update, is the latest “big ticket” feature the browser has belatedly sought to add, following recent long-requested supported for vertical tabs and tab grouping capabilities. Last month’s Firefox 137 release added the aforementioned tab grouping features, give its address bar a chip-laden overhaul, and flipped the switch on HEVC video playback on Linux.

Pinta 3.0 Released With New Effects and GTK4 Port
Indulging your casual creativity (read: making memes, defacing selfies, etc) using open-source tools is made easier with the long-awaited release of Pinta 3.0. Pinta, as long-time Linux users will be aware, is a cross-platform raster graphics tool with a feature set and user-interface partly inspired by popular Windows image editing tool Paint.NET. I previewed the Pinta 3.0 beta back in January and came away impressed. Pinta port to GTK4/libadwaita lends the UI a much-needed modern look – and is more than superficial: usability, performance and stability is bolstered by the toolkit bump. Pinta 3.0 switches to a button-based header bar :sys_more_orange:

Open-source video player Celluloid saw a notable new release at the weekend, bringing a refreshed user interface (among many other changes) to users. Celluloid is a popular GTK front-end to MPV, the (exhaustingly) configurable cross-platform, command-line based media player, and makes many of MPV’s more advanced features a touch easier for users to find, try and benefit from. In Celluloid 0.28 its developers have focused on improving the UI —not hugely, don’t fret. Player controls see refinement in both regular mode, full-screen mode and if ‘floating’ controls are enabled for windowed mode – fewer buttons are shown by default: As :sys_more_orange:
