Omg, someone finally found a way to make discord work for sharing screen under that works - https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1cf57xa/comment/l1mvp1a/

Tldr: pass the env variable XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 to discord command

This way it's finally possible to open the share screen without it going on a loop forever with asking for you to select a thing to share with the xwaylandvideobridge!

Just tried, it works.

@vascorsd
Or just use discord in a browser

@Madic krysp thing and microphone auto detextion of its sound doesn't work with that. Vesktop has same problem.

@RareBird_15@tweesecake.social avatar

Just installed #archlinux on my computer. Stupidly forgot to install #brltty and #espeakup before rebooting though so now have no speech. Would any sighted person out there be willing to help me login, connect to the internet, and install what I need over a #videocall? It shouldn't take too long, and I don't want to boot from the #usb again. #BeMyEyes is great, but I'd prefer help from someone who knows #linux. #blind #tech #technology #arch

Ugh, lol I'm impatient. About to say just forget it and boot from the USB again. I do need to eat, though, so maybe I should go do that and give this post some time.

@RareBird_15 I know linux (although not arch specifically) and I should be able to help. Would jitsi be ok, e.g. under https://meet.coredump.ch/doggy ?

I think the lack of a good screenshot utility is what's going to get me to leave behind. The default one is not great, and none of the others that work on Wayland work for me on Gnome. Get the same errors with grim/slurp and flameshot.

@thelinuxcast I just use the default screenshot utility to capture images and then add any annotations with KolourPaint.

@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@ProfessorCode Yeah, I'm more likely to just go somewhere where flameshot works.

The #FreeCAD stable build Appimages don't work on #Fedora 40 which is making it hard for me to test a fix I've been working on in the Lattice2 workbench to make it work in current weekly builds as well as stable releases. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/12894 which requires workbenches and macros to be changed.

I'm a novice on Lattice2, so I'd appreciate testing of all the functionality of the workbench both on recent development builds and on stable FreeCAD. I want to make sure that the fix is complete and correct on both stable and development versions before suggesting that it is ready to merge.

If you use git to install workbenches, you can do something like this if you want to test and help:

cd .local/share/FreeCAD/Mod/lattice2<br></br>git remote add johnsonm git@github.com:johnsonm/Lattice2.git<br></br>git fetch johnsonm<br></br>git checkout johnsonm/mkj-attachment-support<br></br>

Feel free to comment on the pull request itself or here, I'll see it either way.

#FunFactFriday: A new fusion record has been set, with plasma being sustained for 6 minutes with 15% more energy, thanks to the tungsten lining at WEST (Tungsten (W) Environment in Steady-state Tokamak). Could tungsten be the solution for sustained nuclear fusion? News Source: https://interestingengineering.com/energy/nuclear-fusion-record-tungsten

GTK, to GNOME
@GTK@floss.social avatar

Reminder: instead of using StackOverflow for your questions about GTK and the GNOME software stack, use the GNOME Discourse instance:

https://discourse.gnome.org

You can also use it for applications and the overall GNOME desktop.

#gtk #gnome #development

ljrk,
@ljrk@todon.eu avatar

@GTK I understand that but discourse has a different format to me. Also it's UI is a lot more confusing and has truly terrible load times.

SO was good at one thing: Presenting an answer directly below the question, without much hassle, scrolling and even with quite minimal Js.

@birv2 I like it, but it doesn't mean anything at all. Worth a try or not? 😎 check YouTube gameplays. It helps.

Did another Mac thing! After a false start last night, is now up and running. And it's blummin' fast for an old girl.

Best part is, it turns out the fastest processor this Mac can take is like £15-20 on eBay. That plus a bit of extra RAM will make this into a tidy little performer. (Not a Performa, sadly.) (Also not that little.)

Quiet enough to keep in the living room, too.

lunarloony,
@lunarloony@dosgame.club avatar

@vga256 Good to know.

For curiosity's sake, I tried my RAM again, DIMM by DIMM, and my Mac didn't like any of it at all. Tried it alongside the RAM it came with (keeping in mind what you said about mixing RAM) and I got a red LED. So... I think I will have to seek out something that will definitely work, because it's clearly not keen on what I already have. Shouldn't be too expensive, though.

@lunarloony my guess would be that it's quad-ranked ram then. strange!

As we make our five (now four) year plan more concrete, we want to come back to the high level goal and measures that help us to understand what we are doing, why, and if we are being effective.

TL;DR - We’re going to double the number of contributors who are active every week.

@fedora
This is music to my ears.
I have dabbled in Fedora contribution for a few years and it often feels like once I figure out what the current table stakes are, they turn out to be just out of reach.

fedora,
@fedora@fosstodon.org avatar

@blaise could you share more about that? Is it that once you felt you understood how to contribute the ways to contribute changed?
