Hitler was sentenced to 5 years in prison. But he only served 9 months due to a sympathetic judiciary and massive public outcry from his political supporters. If that sounds uncomfortably familiar, it should.

Auto complete coming to Workbench 🛠️

Besides writing GTK faster than light, I want to use it to help newcomers discover and learn about widgets and properties.

Thanks @andyholmes for the help!

#GNOME #GTK

A screencast of Workbench. It shows a list of auto complete options as I type GTK/Blueprint.

Friends: Who are you listening to right now?

Me, very hip: Oh, you wouldn't know them.

This is a song playing the piano and howling and barking, and legit, he sounds pretty good. I've heard much more insane Mingus albums

Lamppost EV chargers are the answer to how you charge your vehicle in cities.

This is possible because when energy intensive street lamps were replaced by LEDs, there’s excess power for charging EVs.

All cities should do this. ⚡️

Got very excited by @matt demo of AccessKit integration in #GTK

AccessKit is a cross-platform abstraction for accessibility infrastructure written in Rust.

His work will bring a11y support for GTK on macOS and Windows as well as for the new accessibility architecture on Linux code-named "Newton".

I contributed to GNOME Shell! It's just a one-liner, but still, it's a contribution!

I added touchpad gestures so you can now change workspaces not just with a 3-finger swipe, but also a 4-finger swipe (or any amount of fingers larger than that, if you're feeling really adventurous).

Debian Users - Be aware the maintainer of the KeePassXC package for Debian has unilaterally decided to remove ALL features from it. You will need to switch to keepassxc-full to maintain capabilities once this lands outside of testing/sid.

Shoutout to Fina Wilke's Warp! Such a nice, self-contained way to just send stuff between devices. Works like a charm for both my 5GB music folder and that Markdown document I wanted to bring with me on my laptop to do some editing while away from my room. Take it for a spin and experience the magic for yourself!

Stages of learning about color:

• It's as simple as arr-gee-bee!
• YCbCr, what's that? That's crazy, why'd anyone do that.
• electro-opti...what-now?
• Blending must happen in optical space, everything else is WRONG! I know this! (Nope.)
• Nits are nits, right? Nope.
• I know most of the terms, I can compute and talk about stuff. (knows enough to be dangerous)
• Huh, that's a curious demonstration.
• Stimulus <-> color... no? Not even a little bit? Please?
• I've no idea what I'm doing.
• ...TBC

My entire adult life, the messaging from most politicians, echoed by media, has been urging austerity. Even when reporting surpluses.

Meanwhile the rich get astronomically richer, aren't taxed enough (or sometimes at all), are not made to pay back what they've stolen, etc.

It's remarkable how effective the messaging is in getting us to fight over crumbs instead of taking the resources meant for everyone away from the few greedy people who are hoarding them.

#GNOME Maps git main now uses the vector renderer by default! 🥳

The venerable #OpenStreetMap Mapnik raster tiles has served us well, but the time has now come to step up to give the new vector style and implementation some more testing before being official in #GNOME 47 in September!

From HN, list of shame: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_formerly_open-source_or_free_software

"This is a list of notable software packages which were published as free and open-source software, or into the public domain, but were made proprietary software, or otherwise switched to a license (including source-available licenses) that is not considered to be free and open source."

I’ll let you in on a secret: I love sporadically updated weblogs. I subscribe to over 1200 feeds and most of them are sporadic or even technically “inactive”. Months often pass between updates

It means that every post published was important to the writer

Back in the days of snail mail, letters that began with “It’s been a while since I last wrote to you” were the ones people cherished the most

You don’t need to post every day or even every week to have a blog that matters

"A software profiler helps developers improve performance by characterizing what is happening on a computer over a period of time."

Using sysprof you can record what your system is doing and how it's performing in an easier way than before and with tons of granularity.

While it's UX is lacks lots of luster, I'd like to share some love for Meld. I don't often need it, but when I do it saves my life so so much! I don't know a better files and folders comparison tool on Linux.

As I'm porting my website from Jekyll to Zola, I'm currently using it to compare the output of both SSGs to help reduce the divergence to a minimum! The tidy HTML prettifier helps a lot too. 😁️

You remember the "<Application> is ready" in GNOME or when you click on a notification the app isn't focused?

This will be finally fixed in GNOME 46
