Me: "Obi Wan never told you why #GNOMEShell still uses the VP8 #codec to record screencasts, instead of newer codecs…"Them: "He told me enough! He told me #GNOME hates its users!"Me: "No. It's mostly a temporary performance tradeoff around a #Linux middleware & #softwarepatents problem."Them: "No… No… It's not true… That's impossible!"Me: "Search the commits log. You KNOW it to be true."Them: "DO NOT WANT"Source: https://mastodon.social/@nekohayo/112615135771775130#opensource #freedesktop #softwarefreedom

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

FLOSS #MaintainerLife public service advisory:If you're filing a potential bug upstream in #GNOME, particularly on rapidly-improving apps like GNOME Calendar, please test the latest version, unmodified by third-parties. #Flatpak helps.Don't come at me with a 4-years-old version cowboy-patched against our will by #Linux distros like Mint; I will send you downstream, like this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1526#note_2640160#FreeSoftware #OpenSource #QA #bugreporting #LinuxMint #Debian #Ubuntu #LTS #GNOMECalendar

PSA: following the example from various other projects within GNOME, and based on libadwaita's policy document, GNOME Calendar now explicitly forbids AI-generated contributions: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/725We honor the exquisite art of organic homegrown code made with care and a willingness to learn the craft, and want to protect the time of people who help review merge requests.#MaintainerLife #FreeSoftware #FLOSS #OpenSource #GNOMECalendar #NoAI #aislop #genAI #LLM #GNOME #libadwaita

@gnome Just to be clear for those who may misinterpret the above statement: not all GTK apps get this automagically.* The GtkCalendar widget does not yet support it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/8033* Apps using custom widgets need to support that new settingIn other words, currently this is supported by "GNOME's main GTK-based apps and desktop": GNOME Calendar, GNOME Shell and Evolution, as per this core rollout plan: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/160#note_1872970

Would be nice to have a trustworthy #Firefox add-on for doing search-and-replace on URLs in bookmarks, to fix up #GitLab's arbitrary renaming of "/-/issues/" to "/-/work_items/"The most popular add-on I found, https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmarks-organizer/, can't do it. Everything else in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=bookmarks+replace+url replace url seems to have a few hundred users at most…According to "Bookmarks Organizer", I have over 18,000 bookmarks, of which 1k are GitLab issues URLs, so doing it manually would be very inefficient.

YOLO I guess, I was not going to be doing manual database surgery nor manually editing a thousand bookmarks, so ended up using https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-url-batch-replacer/ and hoping that it can be trusted.That UI is sketchy as hell, but it seems like "/-/issues/" and "/-/work_items/" did not trigger any regexes.

Days since last "The #Linux kernel let an app* allocate infinite RAM, OoM'ed and locked up into a I/O death grind for no good reason whatsoever" incident:0️⃣How many more decades will we endure this BS on the #FreeDesktop?*: the app in this case: #LibreOffice Calc, which encountered an autocompletion infinite loop when double-clicking the corner of a cell. And since LibreOffice's autosave is a roulette game, I lost at least 30 to 60 minutes of work even with its automatic document recovery.

Tonight @TheEvilSkeleton told me they were struggling with @EvolutionGnome failing to fetch new mails automatically for them.First, I was puzzled. Then, I remembered this issue I filed 3 months ago, based on my subconscious observations of the past 22 years: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/work_items/3261Too many users must've been bitten by this.So I filed 3 more #UX tickets:* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/work_items/3320* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/work_items/3321* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/work_items/3322Friends don't let friends suffer from unclear UX.#GNOME

GNOME Calendar 51 will be able to recognize Microsoft Teams meetings links in events, surfacing them with a convenient "Join" button (instead of gibberish) like other videoconferencing systems known to us: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/work_items/1312Daily-drive the nightly flatpak like all the cool kids and you'll be able to immediately hop onto calls to circle back and synergize with your clients or colleagues who use this… thing :blobmiou:#GNOMECalendar #GNOME #productivity #meetings #Teams #MicrosoftTeams

Want a #GNOME #email app "between Evolution and Geary"? Check out @jeb2's "Stamp" app, unveiled at #OpenSUSE conference 2026:https://gitlab.gnome.org/jbrummer/stampHe's been working on it for the last 2 years. It reuses the Evolution Data Server backend, combining its reliability with an adaptive GTK4+libAdwaita GUI.It also handles contacts and calendaring (by embedding GNOME Calendar as a widget)! Future versions will allow using it not just as a PIM but also as a standalone mail app.#LinuxMobile

@QCCEChris I believe @davidrevoy's depiction is accurate even in our world, as the ambient light comes not from the sky, but rather from Linux's broken graphics drivers keeping the penguins' monitors backlights on :blobmiou:

@davidrevoy I'm impressed that you took the time to draw that one up!It never occured to me that Omarchy might also represent the subjugation of fishermen to the new monarchy 🤔I think homards are merely the proletariat enduring the consequences of the new undercurrent going through the world lately!
