Party Hat, my work-in-progress birthday manager, is getting support for profile pictures! It supports PNG, JPEG and SVG so far, more might get added soon.
I don't understand what is the point of releasing an IDE via #flatpak, when that flatpak doesn't include all the necessary dev tools, and it can't access the ones outside its sandboxing. Honestly. What's the point? I'm looking at you, #Geany.
Personally, I can't stand flatpaks or #snap. #Appimage is nicer just because it's just one delete away from within the file manager and doesn't leave crumbs everywhere. But overall, I prefer #apt, and #dnf.
If you maintain a GObject-based library or a language binding, and have 25 minutes to spare for reading ~5700 words on a possible new direction for the GObject type system, I wrote something that might interest you: https://www.bassi.io/articles/2023/08/23/the-mirror/
It's a strawman proposal, and it needs a lot more discussion with various stakeholders; ideally, we're going to have a hackfest about GObject, language bindings, introspection, and the future of the type system.
More fixes in #phosh and #phoc ➕ allows to reorder lock screen plugins (thanks gauthamx@mastodon.world) ➕ improvements in phosh-osk-stub's virtual-keyboard mode in non US layouts (e.g. for electron apps) and initial #varnam support for Malayalam.
more info is in the linked issue, but I'm gonna do a poll here:
Keep Roll-It, as the app has used that name for a long time
Gamble, suggested by @bragefuglseth
It's relevant to what the app does, but I'm a bit concerned about possible negative association with actual gambling
Something else; feel free to suggest here or on the issue tracker
A new version of #Fretboard is out! This update brings support for viewing chord variants, bookmarking, smarter chord detection, and more! Download it from #Flathub: https://flatpak.app/fretboard
»Since we're talking about icon theming, I recently stumbled upon this gitlab issue. Apparently they now want to remove icon theming support in #GTK 5. The way the GTK devs started the description really infuriated me: "i. themes are no longer a thing". Really? Who said that? Since when "i. themes are no longer a thing" became a consensus in the Linux desktop space? It seems like you just made up this claim and posted it as undeniable truth for you own comfort.«
