I love how @antoniof names his #GNOMEFiles merge requests like episodes of a #GNOME#opensource epic saga coming soon to your nearest streaming service 👌
New #calendaring specs compliance nightmare fuel for #GNOMECalendar developers and designers: the fact that events can reference completely made up "virtual" timezones 😵
The "#WindowsRecall feature will be disabled by default" headfake move is pretty meaningless when we know#Microsoft is going to constantly nag all their users to turn on that "feature" for an "enhanced" user experience and AI-powered productivity superpowers n' stuff, it's just one click away!
Since I've been jealous of my parents' JVC sound system, with its elegant brown wood #speakers and crisp sound with rich bass, I sent out my dad on a wild goose errand today to pick up an early-2000's JVC "mini-HiFi" compact stereo sound system.
Here it is stacked on top of their sound system while I was doing side-by-side comparisons.
Their 3-drivers speakers still sound much better than these 2-drivers black ones… but mine was bought second-hand for 25 canadian pesos 😉
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
The judicious placement of pretzels next to an alpine horn, as demonstrated in the video below, resonates with me. Upon discovering this band now, I am urgently listening to every #techno#music track in #Klangphonics' SoundCloud account 🧐 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8qrbwfhtn4
The wild thing about #Klangphonics as I discovered them today is that… before pivoting to techno, they started out as a "funk dance fusion" band, with what seems to be a mixture of synth, funk, jazz and ska; that previous work of theirs is just as amazing as their humorous techno tracks… For example, a live practice session from their "Funky Dance Fusion" #music album: https://youtu.be/zj_3j3tFFjI?t=21
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.
