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!

After two years of development I'm glad to announce that the past Wednesday I released Apostrophe 3.0!

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

nothing ruins my motivation to send fixes to your open source project more than to ask me to sign a CLA for it.

sorry guys I'm just not that interested in reviewing a legal contract just to improve your software for free

Evolution 3.50.4 is out with several fixes. The most important one are enabled HTML5 features in OAuth2 webview which are required by some online services.

It's the last bug fixing release before the next major stable release - 3.52. You can get a taste of it in the beta channel of #Flathub where we shipped 3.51.2, the last development release before 3.52.

My #gnomeshell Mutter MR to support scaling and cropping via KMS landed in time for #gnome46

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3177

I'm really happy about this one because it should improve things for multiple use-cases:

1. It allows full hardware offloading of fullscreen video playback for cases when the video dimensions don't perfectly match the screen, i.e. up- or downscaling. There are not many clients supporting this yet - but hopefully we'll see more soon, especially #gtk ones.
