📰 Use AppManger to install, update AppImages on Ubuntu
AppImages are designed to be simple. Download one, make it executable and run it. On Ubuntu, though, there’s an extra step: installing FUSE 2 (libfuse2t64), as some AppImages rely on it. Ubuntu ships FUSE 3 by default. AppManager is a new(ish) GTK4/Libadwaita app which fixes that particular annoyance by mounting AppImages through uruntime instead of FUSE. It handles the usual SquashFS-packed AppImages, plus the newer DwarFS-packed ones too.

📰 Someone connected a Raspberry Pi 4B to an old, unsupported Kindle, and now it's an e-ink dashboard
Back in May, Amazon officially cut support for its older Kindle models, preventing them from using the official store. While some people have found new uses for them, one person has had the brilliant idea of attaching a Raspberry Pi 4 to it. The result is a cool e-ink dashboard that re-uses the perfectly good Kindle tech.
