As the #Nautilus team keeps making progress in refactoring and optimizing #GNOMEFiles, we can see #GNOME's file manager steadily becoming faster.
Among the few performance issues remaining, I believe the probable "Final Boss" of search performance is this issue, which would require some refactoring across the views. Anyone up for a challenge? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/3452
Ce chatmedi 1er juin 2024, il y aura le tout premier pique-nique de #MontrealPython au Square St-Patrick, au bord de la piste cyclable du canal Lachine à #PointeSaintCharles dans le #SoMTL … La météo s'annonce parfaite.
J'y serai, au cas où il y a d'autres fans du #logiciellibre et Python de #Montréal qui aimeraient se rencontrer dans un contexte verdoyant 😎
Turns out there is a #MontrealPython informal meetup event coming up this Saturday (June 1st, 2024) on the #LachineCanal in #PointeSaintCharles (near #Griffintown) in #SoMTL … the first outdoors event as far as I know, as a family-friendly picnic/potluck, right next to the cycleway. Beautiful weather is to be expected.
I'll be there in case anyone else from the extended #Montreal#Python / #opensource programming community wants to meet to… literally touch grass 😎
For the time being, the #WordPress team doesn't want to add #JPEGXL support, even in their "Modern Image Formats" plugin, because Chrome & AVIF n' stuff. Uuuuuurghhh 😒
@nekohayo Adding support to WordPress for an image library literally doesn't make sense, because WordPress doesn't do images. It uses the underlying image libraries in PHP to do the actual image stuff. Specifically, GD or Imagemagick.
If you want to get support for an image format, don't look to software that builds web pages. Look to software that builds images, that lies underneath the existing web pages.
@otto42 ImageMagick already support it. LibGD is interested but would like help ("when", not "if").
However, WordPress always need extra enablement officially, because it does not allow non-whitelisted formats to be used in the media library and publishing.
So yes, WordPress needs explicit "allowed format" support for this to work out of the box. And that would count as "interest from the ecosystem", because, y'know, it is the platform that powers roughly half of websites out there.
I made this poster to encourage y'all to vote, whatever your blood type is. Using the "Cantarell" font instead of "Inter" on the 1st line symbolically counterbalances the 2nd line's futuristic "Youngblood" font.
@nekohayo Polls are hard. I choose "It would be a serious issue for me" but I think it's a wording that's a bit stronger than I'd choose myself. More like "It would be a real issue for me".
What would happen is that I would constantly lose focus as that URL changed which would trigger me and I'd get angry and annoyed. 😣
@mattiasb Yeah, I think using the world "real" would have caused more confusion than "serious", as anything can be said to be "real" by someone who perceives something, while "serious" is meant to clearly differentiate between an annoyance (still "real") vs something that "disrupts with consequences" levels of severity. i.e. Would it be considered harmful, or annoying, or not at all.
The characters (& choices) limit in polls makes it a bit hard to write things, but I think it's pretty balanced.
Seems like it was started a year ago. I just discovered it now, and am somewhat impressed by how much detail it provides (including Air Pollution / Air Quality Index).
So of course I filed my ponies-on-rainbows enhancement request to suggest an interactive stacked graphs representation (like a certain website I use, shown below)… 🤞👀
@vixalientoots Nope, can confirm that Mousam is a GTK and libadwaita app, there are recognizable widgets, and you can spawn a Gtk Inspector from it.
If you mean the screenshot above however, that's not a screenshot of Mousam, that's a screenshot of how I would want Mousam (or any good desktop weather app) to present information.
On top of the performance optimizations that Milan has done in #GNOMESoftware some months ago, I'm proposing my one-liner search performance trick for the #GNOME software center app store thingy that people love to hate on #Linux, to reduce the jankiness and improve performance further for most practical purposes. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/merge_requests/2032
@pethil It waits 500 miliseconds instead of 150 miliseconds after you stopped typing before actually triggering a package manager search, because 150ms is a bad default for expensive operations. It's like doing this to your backends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmoLf1Jh6SQ
Found yet another aluminium road #mastobike abandoned by some uncaring person: all rusted, busted grip shifters, no tape, brake levers in bottom position, flat tyre, some broken spokes, bent rear dérailleur, etc. Dual-pivot caliper brakes though! 👌
Shop owner has no idea whose it was, so we claimed it. I cleaned it up, removed most of the rust. Could look decent. Weighs ~16kg. Wondering if I could easily convert it into a light single-speed for cheap? (new ones are 400$)
Whoa, the Government of Canada has an incredibly detailed page on the dark art of scanning photographs with a flatbed scanner. It is full of practical & theoretical info, incl. color theory (color space, models, gamuts, accuracy, distance, illuminance, bit depth, dynamic range, etc.), common scanning issues… and you can even the #Coloraid (Wolf Faust) "IT 8.7/2" color calibration target referenced, plus #GIMP screenshots 🤯
There's something incredibly enjoyable about my neighbourhood in the summer on a sunny "long week-end" when construction stops; you can hear the wind, birds chirping, playful children in the area…
I've been subconsciously traumatized by the last 10 years of uninterrupted roadworks & building construction noises; it's why in the past 2 years I often escaped the city during weekdays and come back to it on week-ends.
I hope to spend time there more often in 2025; #Montreal is lovely when quiet.
