Tellico, KDE's collection organizer app, releases version 3.3. Organize music, books, films, TV, series, even coins. Give Tellico some basic info and it will download CD covers, release dates, and all the other data you need to keep tabs on each item.

Ever seen an ad so accurate you think your phone is listening to you? While that's not the case, the reality is even creepier.
Here's how Google & Facebook collect your data & use it to auction you off to advertisers for profit: https://vimeo.com/352982094 https://video.buffer.com/v/5d516f99cb137e1e4e76fd38
