unfortunately flathub is annoying again: github.com/flathub/chat.delta.…
looks like the generation of the static #npm packages failed again. Maybe it needs updated flathub-builder tools to become more reliable...
anyways too late already, I apologise for the release delay though. (I am still a bit sick, so progress is slower than I'd like)

I wrote "Building an #Asynchronous, Internet-Optional Instant Messaging System" today. It suggests using #DeltaChat (@delta) across an #email system that can run on non-IP networks to achieve #IM coverage without having to have an Internet backbone, using things like #NNCP, #Syncthing, #Filespooler, and such. I love the ways we can combine interesting tools like this!

NEW: New York City has just issued an advisory for everyone to wear a mask in public spaces because COVID levels are high in all 5 boroughs.
Never had this warning before. Wondering if this is a #PrivacyBrowser problem or just Android doing its thing...
We are happy to announce that @gnome is sponsoring an #Outreachy internship project for the December-March cohort where the intern will be working on adding observability to librsvg.
The intern will work with mentor @federicomena.

Thanks! I think you got the wrong project; the correct one is gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/l…
It's to add a performance-tracking framework to librsvg, similar to Firefox's or WebKit's.
Element X on iPad, perf improvements on Synapse, a ChatGPT bot, and a Matrix bridge to the video game Valheim.
That('s already a lot) and much more happened This Week in Matrix.

Huge win for privacy: Facebook tracking is illegal in Europe!

We are dropping the Autotools build for GTK 3.x, and have fully switched to Meson. If you package GTK 3 and you are still using Autotools, now is the time to switch.
For more information, see the announcement on Discourse: discourse.gnome.org/t/removing…
#gtk #meson #autotools #distro #packaging
Removing the Autotools build for GTK 3
The next GTK 3 release, 3.24.46, will drop support for building with Autotools. GTK has been using Meson in its main development branch since 2016, and in the gtk-3-24 branch since 2018. While we did not officially support the Meson build in the 3.GNOME Discourse
To those still wondering what kind of performance improvement Meson brings to an established project over Autotools, here are some numbers from the Yocto project after they switched their native GTK3 build recipe:
config (autotools): 38.5s
config (meson): 17.9s (-53.5%)
install (autotools): 11.2s
install (meson): 1.6s (-85.5%)
compile (autotools): 100.8s
compile (meson): 37.5s (-62.8%)
The build went from nearly 2 minutes to sub-1 minute
reshared this
For the cross-compilation build, the improvements are even more marked:
config (autotools): 55.5s
config (meson): 22.0s (-60.4%)
install (autotools): 11.6s
install (meson): 3.6s (-68.7%)
compile (autotools): 415.5s
compile (meson): 235.3s (-43.4%)
If your project is still holding on to Autotools because of sunk cost, do yourself a favour, and start looking at Meson.
Just published a blog post consolidating my 4-month long Twitter thread about the design and fabrication of my Penrose tiling quilt, please check it out!

Penrose tiling quilt
Making my first quilt, based on a famous mathematical tessellation.Needlessly complex
Normally, I have difficulties relating what I touch on a tactile plan of a building to the real world. That station made a heavily simplified version of the experience by placing a pole at each crossroad of the tactile floor marking, with a simplified tactile plan at the top telling you where each of the forks of the floorline would take you. It looked a lot like the four navigation keys and the confirmation key on a classic mobile. Each of the arrows ended with a Braille description of the destination in both French and Dutch. This was a great help.
Also QDos to the sound designers who created the jingle for the Brussels public transport company. It's a pretty dancey beat of five notes played on a synthesizer which would make a nice text tone. Find it at the end of the company's promo video below:

Makes it easier to have a discussion with people without requiring everyone to be online or having to write an overlay.
In an unexpected turn, we've found ourselves blocking the official #RaspberryPi instance today, basically until they put an adult in charge of it.
If anyone really wants to learn how a relatively beloved and respected brand can burn a staggering amount of good will in record time, @aurynn has written up a very good case study of the event:
