TronNerd82 writes: IGN announces that Mel Brooks and Amazon MGM Studios are hard at work on the long-awaited sequel to Brooks' 1987 classic, Spaceballs, a tongue-in-cheek parody of Star Wars replete with Mel Brooks' signature brand of off-color humor. Reports indicate that Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis are set to return to the roles of Lone Starr and Dark Helmet, respectively.
The film is looking towards a release to theaters in 2027 (2027?! That's the combination to my luggage!!) and has just seen a teaser trailer drop, viewable on YouTube. Very likely this will be the last film of Mel Brooks' career, as he approaches the age of 99.

TronNerd82 writes: I'm not sure if this has already been reported on here on Slashdot, but here you go anyway.
Linuxiac reports that the 6th alpha release of the COSMIC desktop environment has released. They report that the new alpha release includes zooming, desktop icon management, some new scaling options, and improved accessibility features. Also included in the release are a number of bug fixes. These include, but are not limited to:
●Fixing a crash issue in Steam, and fixing certain issues for Radeon RX GPUs
●Fixing a bug that prevented icons from appearing in screenshots
●Adding a layer of polish to the COSMIC Files application by adding folder size metadata and preventing crashes
Also of note are a number of memory usage reductions across the board. COSMIC alpha 6 also replaces the default font from Fira Sans to Open Sans, with Noto Sans Mono as the default monospace font.
A number of additional changes can also be found on System76's official announcement.

It is based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat), is powered by the Linux kernel 6.8 series, and features Cinnamon 6.2, MATE 1.26, and XFCE 4.18. Included are Ubuntu HWE (Hardware Enablement) kernels, Pipewire by default, better language support, Debian DEB822 support, GTK4 theme support, and improve HiDPI support on boot.
