Honored to have been promoted to the prestigious rank of Lead GNOME Dev™, thanks to the warm endorsement received in https://octodon.social/@dgold/112621388637875424Finally, my decades of #opensource contributions are being recognized in equal measure to my role as CEO or senior partner of various businesses & non-profits ☺️I must clarify, however, that I never stated my personal workflow as the limiting factor in changing to more modern #codecs for #GNOMEShell's video recorder: https://mastodon.social/@nekohayo/112615076552383375#GNOME #FLOSS

Pro tip for @gnome newcomer contributors: you can subscribe to specific labels/tags for newcomer-specific email notifications in a project.If you go to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/labels for example, you can subscribe to be notified each time I tag a GNOME Calendar issue as newcomers-friendly (in terms of implementation difficulty).You can of course also click those labels anywhere you see them in GitLab to see a list of issues filtered with that label.#OpenSource #GNOMECalendar #GitLab #GNOME

Ce samedi, c'est la Journée internationale du #logiciellibre, et je serai présent pour donner deux présentations/ateliers à l'ÉTS:- Comment se familiariser avec #GIMP et le personnaliser pour les besoins de base- Présentation de mon top-50 des applications #GNOME qui facilitent la vie au quotidienDétails de l'événement ici:- https://agendadulibre.qc.ca/events/2430- https://www.rencontres-linux.quebec/event/21-ans-de-linux-meetup-au-quebec-1/page/introduction-21-ans-de-linux-meetup-au-quebec#softwarefreedomday #Montréal

Wow, #GNOMEPapers Nightly now has luminosity-based colour inversion for its night mode, preserving the general hue of colours!Now comes the tricky part: having the ability to not invert images at all, particularly for photographic content: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubator/papers/-/issues/319#GNOME #PDF #darkmode

@davidrevoy Oh wow, new ultrawide wallpaper right there 😸I love how it is simultaneously:- Light and dark: not too light that it would burn my eyes in dark mode, but not so dark that it would fade away;- Clean enough to not be distracting, but has some texture- A reflection of the "interesting times" we live inNow I just discovered that https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/artworks__2024-11-11_Light-in-the-Darkness_by-David-Revoy.html is a completely different (newer?) version from https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1052/light-in-the-darkness … is the coexistence of both intentional?

Ever wondered why websites and web applications keep consuming CPU/power in the background with #GNOMEWeb?This is the #WebKitGTK enhancement request I have filed to allow stopping the animations frame clock and telling websites that the window is not in focus (so that they can throttle themselves): https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285167Not sure how widespread power throttling is among #web apps, but this provides a path for pretty significant power savings in #GNOME, #LinuxMobile & #embedded with #Wayland.

Can anyone running #GNOMECalendar on @postmarketOS / #LinuxMobile find a way to trigger this #CalDAV synchronization backend heisenbug reliably enough to provide the requested debug logs or some proof of what is actually going on? Otherwise, our hands are tied: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/929#note_2318261#PostMarketOS

@davidrevoy Might we worth mentioning Epiphany (WebKitGTK) in the article for those who may be satisfied with a simpler browser that is still not based on Blink :blobcatcoffee:Playing DRMed content with it isn't really an option, though.

@fosstasticI like my #opensource software to be more robust by virtue of having less untested codepaths and being "done", instead of developers repeatedly burning out every few years when they inevitably have to rearchitect everything when XYZ component has changed in the middleware stack elsewhere.From my perspective as a user, having software that is more easily maintained is just as beneficial as having simple-to-use software.See:- https://josem.co/the-beauty-of-finished-software/- https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/12/choices/etc.

It's a bit unfortunate that the @omgubuntu article about #GNOME 48 summarizes #GNOMECalendar 48's whole release as one line that says, "Calendar offers various Event Editor dialog improvements"…when the Calendar app landed one of the most fundamental productivity (and format compliance) features of the last 12 years (after many, many months of design & development work): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/2At least 40 issues resolved for that release overall: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/?state=closed&milestone_title=GNOME+48

@davidrevoy This feature will reach its true potential if the digital assistant also does text-to-speech using espeak. That soothing default voice for Kiki would really make @krita come alive :blobcatcoffee:

Very excited by the upcoming #GNOMESoftware release, as it solves the high RAM usage issue that occurred while in the background (it will now shrink back to ~100 MB instead of growing to multiple hundreds of MBs of RAM due to memory heap fragmentation): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/issues/941#note_2417546Coming to you in #GNOME 48.2 near the end of May! 😎Thanks to Owen Chiaventone (a total newcomer to @gnome !) for profiling and providing a patch to solve the issue, & @pabloyoyoista + @pwithnall for reviewing & merging!

We are pleased to inform #GNOMECalendar users that the weird "week / agenda views scrolling up by themselves when clicking" heisenbug, which has been puzzling us for the last 2.5 years, has been vanquished by @TheEvilSkeleton through their fabulous #accessibility / #a11y work lately. You can already benefit from this while running the #GNOME nightly flatpak version of the Calendar app.https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/915

One thing I often hear GNOME critics complaining about, usually with Nautilus' busy headerbar area as the primary example, is that its client-side window decorations don't leave many empty spaces for dragging the window around.What most critics don't realize is that the entire window headerbar area remains draggable. You can drag any of those toolbar widgets to move the whole window around with it, as if those widgets weren't even there. The right-click menu works, too.#GNOME #GNOMEFiles #UX

@prokoudine I mean, what would you expect from a GTK2 application at this point…? Doesn't really sound like GNOME is at fault here.

@prokoudine Yeah, but to be fair we don't have an incentive to keep maintaining a 40-years-old bucket of spaghetti forever. We want to be able to retire.If Ardour wants to benefit from proper GPU acceleration and HiDPI support, it should upgrade to a version of the toolkit architecture that is only 5 years old instead of 23 years old. Desktop HiDPI screens didn't even exist back in the days of GTK2, and I'm flabbergasted that it somehow accidentally works in Xorg.

@prokoudine Unfortunate situation, though I trust that after 15 years of buffer time, this final deprecation signal will encourage plugin writers to also migrate their tooling towards native X12 (Wayland) compatibility if they don't want to use standard widgets. We don't keep Python 2 + GStreamer 0.10 around anymore, either…

@mntmn I've only seen that happen on desktops with automatic login (as the keyring is supposed to get unlocked by the password used at the login screen) but yeah, it isn't great…

@mntmn That would explain why I've found GitLab's textfields to be an excellent stress-test performance benchmark for #WebKitGTK (reported as https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301066). Sure, that website is bloated, but other web engines are so optimized that you don't usually notice it, so there's optimization potential in WebKitGTK :blobmiou:

I made GNOME Maps stop doing search queries faster than most people can type, with this One Weird Trick™: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/-/merge_requests/584Medium-to-fast typists will no longer see flickering search results and won't be doing "Hokuto no ken" network requests anymore. I presume #GNOME users will have less chances of collectively DDoSing servers when the Year of the Linux Desktop™ happens.#GNOMEMaps #OpenStreetMap #GraphHopper #EnergyEfficiency #EnvironmentThisWeek
