GNOME's libadwaita Introduces Adaptive Sidebar Widget

([GNOME] 3 Hours Ago AdwSidebar)


Following last week's [1]GNOME 49 release , This Week in GNOME is out with their latest weekly summary of all interesting GNOME developments. Notable now for this post-49.0 time is libadwaita adding an adaptive sidebar widget.

AdwSidebar has been added to libadwaita as an adaptive sidebar widget. There is also AdwViewSwitcherSidebar as a view switcher variant. These libadwaita additions are intended to be a replacement to GTK's GtkStackSidebar widget.

Those curious about this new libadwaita adaptive sidebar widget and other GNOME changes post-49.0 can see [2]This Week in GNOME for all the details.

Jon Splatz's Movie Review: "Lord of the Pings"

I've never walked out on a movie before. When I pay $9.50 to see a movie
(plus $16.50 for snacks), I'm going to sit through every single minute no
matter how awful. The resolve to get my money's worth allowed me to watch
Jar Jar Binks without even flinching last year.

But I couldn't make it through "Lord of the Pings". This movie contains a
scene that is so appalling, so despicable, so vile, so terrible, so
crappy, and so gut-wrenching that I simply had to get up, run out of the
theater, and puke in the nearest restroom. It was just that bad.

The whole thing is completely ruined by a scene that takes place only 52
seconds into the flick. Brace yourself: big letters appear on screen that
say "An AOL/Time Warner Production".

...

Because this film is brought to you by the letters A-O-L-T-W, I must give
it an F-minus even though I've only seen 53 seconds of it.
