As an observer, the amount of very vocal "It's a cross-platform implementation & support nightmare!" (roughly paraphrasing/summarizing) pushback you hear from some particular LibreOffice members regarding the idea of having client-side window decorations (a.k.a. headerbars) like every other modern space-efficient app, while they still implicitly consider 7 toolbar UI layout variants to be maintainable, never ceases to amaze me 🙄️ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113388#c18

d_k_bo,

@nekohayo I'm still dreaming of using something like the PoC presented in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/development-exchange-libreoffice-main-frame-with-a-gtk4-one/71248/11 and https://nitter.adminforge.de/ChristianOhrfan/status/1472015987314761734

What GTK app are you working on?

d_k_bo, (edited )

@GTK I'm working on Televido. It's an app to access media from German-language public TV services using data from the project.

purejava, to gnome

I submitted my first @gnome , heavily based on the work of @rapharo.

This is the second term.

d_k_bo,

@purejava Hey, please consider next time either using the tag instead of mentioning the Lemmy community !gnome or adding a first paragraph without any tags and mentions.

When mentioning a Lemmy community it will be posted to that community and tags and mentions look really bad in the post title.

My 46 Wishlist:

  • "Window is Ready" notification made useful.
  • Ability to run an app in the background.
d_k_bo,

@sonny @cassidy @Aman9das I think many users would prefer if it would bring the window to the foreground instead of showing a notification. There are many extensions just for this purpose and there is also a Just Perfection option to do so.

I know that this “Focus Stealing” behavior could be confusing for some other users.

Mit den Suchergebnis unter GNOME44 bin ich nicht zufrieden.

On other platforms, if something doesn't work, it's mostly that some corporation doesn't want me to do that specific thing.
On Linux, if something doesn't work, it's mostly that I broke it or it just hasn't been implemented yet.

On 38, (or ?) randomly stops outputting sound (to my USB DAC) frequently enough (once a week or so?) that I now have to put this in my workstation's ~/.bashrc because I'll never remember this type of magic incantation:

alias restart_pipewire="systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse"

d_k_bo,

@nekohayo I had this problem a few days ago. In my case, I only had to restart pipewire itself. The problem seems to have fixed itself the next day.

Some of you have asked where to download the new Thunderbird logo. We're building out design.thunderbird.net, and that's one of the first things we added.

Please help yourself! https://design.thunderbird.net/resources/logo

d_k_bo,

@bananabob @islamicaudiobooks @thunderbird do you use the flatpak from flathub? It has been updated: https://flathub.org/apps/org.mozilla.Thunderbird

I’m sitting at an airport waiting for my connection to Denver (where GUADEC 2024 is happening, if you haven’t heard!), so I wrote a blog post.

Huge props to @pietrodc0 for kicking this discussion off in a hallway at GUADEC, and @hughsie for all his work on ODRS itself.

Let’s talk about stars and thumbs. ⭐👍

d_k_bo,

@davepagurek @cassidy @pietrodc0 @hughsie
I think it is important to be able to leave negative reviews, since some issues that users may encounter aren't issues from the developers's perspective. In that case it should be possible to "warn" other users.
E.g. on the Google Play Store, I often leave negative reviews because an app forces users to create an account.

d_k_bo, to rust

What is the output?

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=4775a8597fe25e54bba4f8de37cfb00d

d_k_bo,

@Stark9837 Rust has immutable (&T) and mutable references (&mut T) which are conceptionally similar to pointers, but are guaranteed to be always valid.
There are also raw pointers (*const T/*mut T) which are the same as in C, but are only used for FFI and other low-level stuff.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrowing.html

d_k_bo,

@diazona @Stark9837 In Rust, I love that I can type my code in a single line, press Ctrl+S and rustfmt does its job. That doesn't work that well with eg. Python (although black is an awesome project!).

Of course, if you don't use a code formatter and don't indent your code, it's the worst of all.

It looks like is ready to embrace into its ecosystem! Wallpapers are being switched to JXL from WebP, & GNOME Web will adopt JXL support through WebKitGTK. The GNOME SDK is also going to be built with libjxl from now on!

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-backgrounds/-/commit/ccbdb7d2ea5dbd1f2b9de4be348dfa0ab286d76c#22c413786be8450c02034a0b002a5831a801c29d

d_k_bo,

@Loeil_du_tigre @gianni I think its main benefits are better compression at higher quality, progressive decoding and lossless re-encoding of JPEG images.

d_k_bo, to random German

@Mojeek I just tried your website for the first time. Unfortunately, it was not a good first experience.

  • it doesn't respect (prefers-color-scheme: dark)
  • the German translations are extremely poor, probably generated using a bad machine translator
  • the language settings don't do anything, only appending ?lang=en-GB to the URL works

(I'm using Firefox 115 on Fedora & Android)

d_k_bo,

@Mojeek i was referring to "Site Language", setting the language for search results works fine AFAICS.

Bitte stimmt für die Option ab, die ihr im Alltag am meisten nutzt. Sobald die Umfragezeit ausgelaufen ist, wird das Ergebnis auf GNU/Linux.ch ausgewertet. Wir freuen uns auf eure Meinungen zum Thema.

🦆 DuckDuckGo has announced the public beta release of its native Windows browser, offering a secure and private alternative to market leaders such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. Check out what's included: https://alternativeto.net/news/2023/6/duckduckgo-expands-its-privacy-focused-browser-alternative-with-the-beta-launch-for-windows/

d_k_bo,

@alternativeto How can it be an alternative to Chrome/Edge if it is just Microsoft Edge WebView2 (which is based on chromium) under the hood?

We can't possibly maintain all plugins for Evolution ourselves which is why in 3.48 we made a change that allows to ship plugins as separate extensions.

And the @EteSync plugin is currently waiting for someone who would create and maintain its extension on .

d_k_bo,

@EvolutionGnome @EteSync That sounds like are really great usecase for flatpak extensions!
