Upside of being my child is that when you're home from school sick, I work from home anyway so I can keep you company while you rest on the sofa. Downside is that sometimes I will put an experimental math-rock/jazz album on. https://strobesband.bandcamp.com/album/brokespeak

    TIL Fedora is packaging a web browser app I developed for elementary OS, stopped updating over three years ago, and marked as end-of-life two years ago—yet it happily shows up in Fedora 40 if you search my name. It crashes on launch, so it doesn’t even work…

    WHY??

    Edit: I guess the package is being EOL'd in Fedora due to it no longer building and this thread, huzzah! My recommendation to distros: don’t package random apps and then not maintain them/communicate with upstream.

    @cassidy I promise you that it’s better that it crashes cause you wouldn’t wanna see how it looks otherwise with adw

    I really need to automate this somehow, but my latest estimate is 3.13 million active users of Flathub!

    This is a number of updates delivered to a popular dependency, org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default//23.08, between the 23.08.14 and 23.08.15 releases. This was less than a month window (March 18 through April 9).

    Pretty impressive stuff!

    Edit: updated, more realistic stats based on @alatiera; thanks!

    alatiera,
    @alatiera@mastodon.social avatar

    @cassidy Could you get a number on org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default//23.08

    This runtime extension is used by all the derivative runtimes as well (kde, gnome, etc, so the number should be more complete

    For the last 2-3 days I have not been able to send any message on Matrix. At first it was only Element on the browser that would just refuse, and I was opening the phone each time I wanted to reply, but now the phone app is broken as well.

    This is so fucked.

    What if "software repair" was a system feature?

    Every app comes with its source and flatpak manifest, and there's a "Repair" button in the window context menu that opens it in Builder.

    When you're done with your repair it's easy to set a different name/icon (so it shows up as a separate app in the system), install it locally, or share it as a flatpak bundle.

    alatiera,
    @alatiera@mastodon.social avatar

    @tbernard Endless was doing that for a while with a button that would flip the app and open Builder.

    Also "Repair" implies corruption, which should both never happen and get fixed automatically when it's detected.

    @tbernard Naming is hard but I trust you will find something 🤷 😝

    @shaadra @nclm @tbernard Imagine you are your Uncle, what do you think he will understand by “Source”?

    alatiera,
    @alatiera@mastodon.social avatar

    @shaadra @nclm @tbernard I know people with engineering degrees that would have no clue what Source in a random place on a GUI like that would mean or couldn’t infer the context. This is about the first contact, not after you have flipped 15 developer switches in settings.
