Hieroglyphic by @FineFindus joined GNOME Circle! :blobfoxhappy:

The app lets you find LaTeX symbols by sketching.

Playing around with the @penpot 2.0 Early Access, I am happy to say that I will finally be ditching Figma as the last proprietary piece of software in my workflow. :blobfoxuwu:

The app has gone a long way and I'd encourage everyone who tried it in the past to give it another shot, as well as those who held off on trying it before.

I can't wait for the 2.0 release! :blobfoxhappy:

Ah, hostile conversations can be so draaaaaining. Remember to get away from them soon enough, you most likely have things more deserving of your attention.

How well do and projects deal with ? I've talked to a few people that say it's a struggle as reducing techdebt isn't seen as "fun" so much harder to attract contributors.

I'd expect this would be easier for larger projects.

kramo,
@kramo@fosstodon.org avatar

@scottjenson Another thing to keep in mind is that open source projects are usually more focused.

Most software, in open source especially is just duct-taped together from other libraries that are only developed in-house if an off-the-shelf solution is not sufficient, which is rarely the case for a project with a free software license.

As such, I feel that complete rewrites of components, which people do often find fun are more common because you're not stepping on any toes.

@fkinoshita @gregorni Isn't Python specifically kind of terrible for recursion by the way?

I'm publishing a minor translation update for Fretboard on Flathub right now. Thanks to @bittin, @sabriunal and @flipflop97 for being awesome people and making the GNOME ecosystem more convenient and accessible for speakers of their respective languages!

#Fretboard

@bragefuglseth Unless the two languages are grammatically similar, software localization is always going to suck for multiple reasons.

First, take this string for example:

"Update with {}"

In my native language, Hungarian, the proper translation of this string would depend on whatever is inserted in place of {}.

@bragefuglseth@fosstodon.org avatar

From now on I'll try to avoid using imperative in issue titles. Example: "Reconsider image height settings" -> "Reconsidering image height settings".

Pretty small change, but I think the shift in tone is significant. In my experience, the former can be a little more stressing / negatively interpreted. How we interact with each other when building software matters a lot!

kramo,
@kramo@fosstodon.org avatar

@bragefuglseth Maybe, but that's the form we use for commits and merge requests and considering that on modern git forge web UIs, MRs and issues are handled very similarly, it would feel weird to use a different form.

kramo,
@kramo@fosstodon.org avatar

@bragefuglseth I understand your point, I just don't like ascribing to language what is the product of broader social phenomena.

If people feel overburdened in the FOSS community, the cause of that is likely not the title of your issues but something else and trying to change the former is a nice gesture at best and an unnecessary use of our energy at worst.

Language reflecting the way we think makes people focus on it too much even when the reverse, it impacting our thoughts, is minimal.

kramo,
@kramo@fosstodon.org avatar

@bragefuglseth I agree, but trying to change an already established way of doing something is beyond personal consideration.

@kramo@fosstodon.org avatar

entered beta!

I have all basic features working and am mainly going to focus on polishing it before the release.

It should now be generally safe to test, but I still only recommend it if you have a backup of your files. (Which you should create anyway :blobfoxevil:)

Please report all bugs you find, any features that are missing and improvements you would make!

You can find info about downloading it here:

More progress on ! :blobfoxcomputer:

  • A list view, due to popular demand

  • Mounting and ejecting external volumes

  • An editable sidebar

  • Completion and relative paths in the path bar

As well as a lot of boring stuff

I'm very close to releasing the first beta, I just need to make sure the internal file operations don't do anything stupid

Implemented the path/tags bar, again with some nice animations. :blobfoxhappy:

Added some bouncy animations for deleting items and emptying the trash in

progress update no. 1

  • I've introduced the Recent and Trash pages

  • Implemented a properties window

  • Made the app adaptive

  • Implemented the tab overview

As well as done many chores to make the app run better. Thanks to @rdbende for helping me fix some bugs too :blobfoxheart:

I'm working on a file manager!

And I thought I could document the development process here.

I've wanted to explore the idea of a non-hierarchical file manager for a long time and this is the result, Hyperplane.

The idea is that you organize files by tags (or categories or whatever name I end up with) instead of folders while still being able to access them from a traditional file manager.

You can test it now if you want, details in the README:

@bragefuglseth I reblogged a post of mine, but didn't get a notification on Elk or the main Masto app, so you should probably open an issue for Tuba or whichever client you were using.

Did you know that all people in #Scandinavia (#Norway, #Denmark and #Sweden) understand each other, even though we speak 3 different languages? The amount of Scandinavian speakers totals at more than 20 million! I think it would be cool to have a space for us Scandinavian #GNOME users and contributors to communicate in our mother tongues, so that's what I'm trying to establish now! Please share if you know anybody this might interest.

@bragefuglseth What's the big issue with Gtranslator that would require a whole new app?

kramo,
@kramo@fosstodon.org avatar

@bragefuglseth Okay, I see. I'm sure the maintainers would appreciate if you opened some issues or MRs. There definitely are some glaring design issues with it, but most of them seem easily fixable.

@danirabbit I would definitely not consider a separate drawing tablet a pointing device. You generally don't use it for navigation, it has a different purpose.

I think it would only make sense for touchscreen devices with an optional pen, not whole tablets.
