As part of the contributor’s acceptance into GSoC they are expected to actively participate in the Community Bonding period (May 1 – 26). The Community Bonding period is intended to help prepare contributors to start contributing at full speed starting May 27.
The new contributors will soon get their blogs added to Planet GNOME making it easy for the GNOME community to get to know them and the projects that they will be working on.
We would like to also thank our mentors for supporting GSoC and helping new contributors enter our project.

Nový Median hned z kraje května, jen týden po vydání minulého modelu, ale ten vyšel s velkým zpožděním oproti měření. To bylo tentokrát kratší, od 2. do 25. dubna.
Zatímco SPD (+3) a STAN (+2) se odrazili zpět z dubnového poklesu, ODS, KSČM, PRO nebo Přísaha mírně ztratily (-1). TOP 09 zůstala beze změny na 3,5 % a vypadá to na novou realitu. Uvidíme, zda to potvrdí další průzkumy a agentury.
Did you know that #LibreOffice has a tabbed user interface option? Make sure you're using the latest release, LibreOffice 24.2, to get the most from it! (And you can find it in the menu under View > User Interface...) #foss #opensource #freesoftware
@GrahamDowns Then... Just don't use it. It's purely optional, created by volunteers who want it. The traditional user interface isn't going away, as mentioned.
@GrahamDowns There are no plans to remove the "traditional" layout – so no worries 😉 Regarding making something the default, that's a difficult task we have to juggle.
Is our goal to help as many people as possible to use Free and Open Source software?
If yes, we need to make an app that's appealing and welcoming to new users too. Making the tabbed interface the default on new installations one day may be important in that. But of course, with a very obvious way to switch...
@GrahamDowns Yes! A choice during installation (if possible) or on first-start would perhaps be a good way to keep long-term users happy, but ensure new users get something they may prefer too. Let's see what our @libodesign team thinks...
keep@GrahamDowns@mastodon.africa @libodesign "During install process" won't work on decent OSes that don't require you to click "Next" 20 times per software install/upgrade… as there is no such thing as software specific installation GUI, but a system wide package manager instead…
It would make much more sense to ask such things on first-start AND preserve the preferences across upgrades, not asking over and over again, or overriding user choice, by some default values.
I use LibreOffice on a Mac, and while I would love to use the tabbed UI, it is currently rather ugly on the Mac, with the tabs not aligning properly. I’ve already reported it, and since I am no programmer myself, I know I will have to be patient. Another thing that is keeping me from using it is the fact that the styles pane is very cramped, showing only a few styles at a time. Still, I think that having a choice is excellent. Keep up the good work!
Hello, it's only me that is having massive issues with the colour of the icons in the dark theme? Most of them are absolutely illegible, and I'm allergic to the light theme... @libreoffice
Yes m using it since 2020. My only gripe with it is that only three styles are displayed and you can't directly edit them with a right click. A feature I like even more is the shift+esc which allows to search for options. I think that should be bit better advertised took me to long to find. :) For me every app should have something like that.
I got a silly little kick out of the fact that under "Link to this result", the text input is editable, and the copy button just copies whatever it contains.
Vodafone UK are quite trigger happy with filters. For example their 18+ filter breaks IMAPS or STARTSSL, forgot which exactly. Had to call them a few months ago to remove it as I couldn't check my emails... Blatant incompetence which can also be seen in other aspects of their business.
Took them only 2 years (exactly, since your initial blog post) to solve it ... They sure wanted to have evidence you don't provide any adult content.
Unless, they were fighting in board meetings whether learning about curl and getting ideas how to use it for various attack vectors could count as adult content or not ....... 😜
Používám operační systém Linux a došlo na obměnu domácího notebooku. Opustil jsem vody tradičních výrobců jako je Dell, HP nebo Lenovo a místo toho zkusil „zakázkový“ linuxový hardware a software z Německa. Jak to dopadlo?
Mám doma už dva Tuxedo NB. Jsou fajn, největší mínus je klávesnice - speciálně umístění šipek. A taky jsou oba NB při zátěži hodně hlučné. Ventilátory rozhodně nepatří k nejtižším. A taky jsem už v jednom NB ventilátor měnil a v tom druhém mě to brzo asi taky čeká 😞
Jinak fajn stroje a je super, že se dají při nákupu konfigurovat dle potřeb. Nesnáším, když procházím eshop a tam je hromada stejných NB, které se liší jen v detailech - stovky CPU/RAM/SDD kombinací.
@mkyral chlazení u notebooku je vždycky problém (obzvlášť když na tom hraješ hry)... Vybírám podle vnitřního uspořádání trubek a dvou ventilátorů 😼 Ale naposledy jsem to vzdal a raději si postavil malý stolák 😸
@LynxBaal Míval jsem desktop míval, ale pak jsem jej přenechal dětem. Docela jsem si zvykal na volnost pohybu, kterou NB umožňuje. Nejsem vázán na jedno konkrétní místo.
What I found interesting about the 2016 tapes (but irrelevant to this trial) is they show how much Trump's ability to express himself has so substantially deteriorated over the past eight years. It's quite dramatic in that sense.
How it shall look… # Linux & BSDs # Windows # macOS # State on Fedora 40 Workstation & XFCE Spin… # Screenshots taken from the GNOME bugtracker, copies to not stall their GitLab instance.

A major project I've been working on for many months is rendering vector graphics strokes on GPU. @armansito and I recently wrote a paper on our techniques, and it's now available on arXiv (and also submitted to a relevant conference): arxiv.org/abs/2405.00127
There's accompanying code and some more resources in the repo: github.com/linebender/gpu-stro…. And of course there's the implementation in Vello.
I'm very proud of this work. Fingers crossed the paper gets accepted.
Vector graphics includes both filled and stroked paths as the main primitives. While there are many techniques for rendering filled paths on GPU, stroked paths have proved more elusive.
Anyone familiar with Mexico City universities immediately understands what went down last night in #UCLA: The pro-Palestinian student encampment on the campus was attacked by "porros".
A porro is an individual who uses violent means to help achieve certain, often political, goals at universities there. The "grupos porriles" have been called the "shock troops" of Mexican universities.
On April 24, 2024, Dropbox, Inc. (“Dropbox” or “we”) became aware of unauthorized access to the Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) production environment. We immediately activated our cybersecurity incident response process to investigate, contain, and remediate the incident. Upon further investigation, we discovered that the threat actor had accessed data related to all users of Dropbox Sign, such as emails and usernames, in addition to general account settings. For subsets of users, the threat actor also accessed phone numbers, hashed passwords, and certain authentication information such as API keys, OAuth tokens, and multi-factor authentication. Based on what we know as of the date of this filing, there is no evidence that the threat actor accessed the contents of users’ accounts, such as their agreements or templates, or their payment information. Additionally, we believe this incident was limited to Dropbox Sign infrastructure and there is no evidence that the threat actor accessed the production environments of other Dropbox products. We are continuing our investigation.
After reading "Why you should write your own static site generator", I realized the build and deploy steps in my site is completely loaded with scripts (post-processing Hugo's output) and workarounds (such as using regex replaces for templating). And half the time I need to update something other than content I'll have to dig through the docs and forums.
Compare this with this one time I rolled my own SSG (for this single purpose), everything was centered around my build script and some shell tooling to move things around. I can make it output anyway I want, write templates in whatever format I like, place the content is whatever structure, and I just need to adapt my script for it. Well, granted this little project is much simpler than my site.
Is it really worth trying to adapt how I write to Hugo's framework, so it can generate an output closest to what I want, then use my own script to post-process the rest afterwards?
The main bottleneck right now that prevents me from rolling my own for my site (other than comparing "time pouring through Hugo docs" vs "time tweaking my new SSG") is the templating. This directly affect the tech stack I want to use. If I'm writing my own SSG now my best bet is probably Go + text/template + html/template to make my templates migration easier.
But at the end of the day, does having a smoother process of adding new features to my site actually make me produce better, more frequently updated content? Doubtful.
I have the exact same story with Hugo. Dozens of regex filters, post-processing with xmllint and then sed-based regex filters…
Hugo’s massive parallelism leaves it completely unfit for proper post-processing. It’s next to impossible to configure any of Goldmark’s low-level markup choices beyond what render hooks support (I have to use regexes to customize backlinks, for instance).
On the other hand, regexes work pretty well with known trusted well-escaped input. #Hugo
