I had a nice trip with @sesivany from Prague to Brno. We just found out at the #Fedora 40 release party yesterday that we were taking the same train. We shared travel stories and Jiří gave me some good advice for my trip. Děkuji
"Our plan is to grow the Ubuntu Desktop team by at least another 50% over the next year and we are opening a range of positions across all levels of seniority in the coming weeks. At Canonical we think the future is bright for the Linux desktop and if you have the passion and skills to be at the cutting edge of performance, security, immutability and accessibility then we want to hear from you."

Now try learning another language (spoken) and repent having no clue about grammar! I've learnt more about grammar since having to learn another language, than ever in school, as contrary to some popular belief, English is not widely spoken everywhere in Europe, and without the foundation of linguistic terminology and structure, it's an uphill struggle I can tell you! (If we hadn't been forced to learn some French in school, I'd be stuffed!)
For the past 10+ years, I was unable to daily-drive the #Wayland version of #GNOME …
…until version 45.2+, where performance improvements landed for my specific usecases.
Since then, for the past 6 months, I've been running 45.x on Wayland.
This week, when I went back to the Xorg/X11 version for 1-2 days, I was surprised to see it now feels unbearable to me from a performance standpoint! Even with animations disabled.
I guess I can't go back after having used a no-delays no-jank version 🤷
@nekohayo thanks for helping the team optimizing it. I've started to follow since 40, couldn't work in x11 because of not optimal animation, glitches here and there. In Wayland it was eye candy buttery smooth. But I remember it tended to accumulate lagging for a long session, because of that I was forced to periodically restart the session to "refresh" animation. And I would not convince myself to use the x11 even those days. Now since as you say 45.2 it is stable and nice, and I'm happy ))
@GerryT@Hexangon@lued@gnome I'm happy to review contributions to add a new weather provider; the main issue is typically the terms of service, but for anything else, the code is pretty simple.
@ebassi Thank you. Regarding terms of service: Is this something that seems to be suitable? Here from OpenWeatherRefined: "Display weather for the current or a specified location. Fork of OpenWeather.
Weather data is provided by OpenWeatherMap.org or WeatherAPI.com.
If location is set to "My Location," which is the case by default on laptops, this extension will use location services and Nominatim (from openstreetmap.org), or infoip.io if that failed."
This is great but can we please also have Fedora (& Ubuntu, etc.) acknowledge they started shipping operating systems without a functional screen reader when they switched to Wayland and that that’s still the case?
This is not to name and shame. Unless we acknowledge this as an error on par with shipping without monitor support and unless the culture is altered to make accessibility a showstopper, it’ll happen again.
@aral Again, I agree that accessibility is of utmost importance and that cultural changes are needed to emphasize it from the beginning. I just think systems that need some non-default configuration for a functional screen reader are importantly different than "operating systems without a functional screen reader".
Both X and Wayland have limitations that in some use-cases make them not viable. Until Wayland catches up, we each get to decide if we prefer Wayland's bugs or X's bugs.
@LiberalArtist All I’m saying is that if you believe that, then shipping with Wayland without monitor support is also different than “operating systems without functional monitor support.” (Unless your point is that there are different criteria for what is acceptable for sighted people – which, clearly, is the case because those operating systems are shipping with monitor support by default but without screen reader support.)
Homebrew is now installed for you with the latest images of Bluefin, Aurora, and Bazzite. We don't have to strongly recommend installing it anymore because it's right there!
Homebrew is a great package manager especially for CLI apps. Give it a whirl if you haven't already.
@popey yeah, sorry, I shouldn't (shit)post while working, this I knew, just that I never used anything on this machine that requires all that side of the stack, but maybe #Ubuntu is installing it just to provide a base system were you could 'install anything'.
Wie kann ich in /etc/network/interfaces in #Debian es einstellen, dass auf allen Interfaces #DHCP gemacht wird, auch wenn ich jetzt noch nicht weiß, wie das Interface in Zukunft heißen wird?
Jetzt steht da halt:
iface enp1s0 inet dhcp
Aber auf einer anderen Hardware heißt das Ding ja vielleicht eth0 statt enp1s0...
Also was tun?
Brauch ich ein Startupscript, dass die Config generiert?
