VoIP call membership reliability being improved, Native Sliding Sync in Synapse and more. That and more happened This Week in Matrix! matrix.org/blog/2024/07/05/thi…
in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation

Good to hear about improving call reliability in calls. Honestly, this is my number one complaint and request for Matrix overall.

I have a family member with an account on my server, and a TURN/STUN server, and our calls have working video and audio both ways less than 50% of the time.

They keep begging me to use Facetime. 🤮

I’m really loving what’s coming in GNOME 47! It’s shaping up to be such a good polish release, and it keeps getting better. Huge props to all the folks who’ve been plugging away at the design and entire stack this cycle.

I'm looking forward to meeting up with folks next week in Denver for them to share more about their work this cycle and to hack on any last touches—plus planning what’s next. Join us in-person or remotely! guadec.org

My favorite new thing by far is accent colors. It’s so nice and refreshing to be able to really change the feel of your computer with just a few well-defined options—all while not introducing a massive burden to third-party app developers.

I’m most excited to see more apps incorporate the accent color in interesting ways, as it’s a great way to pull the user’s preferences into the app.

changing the default wallpaper based on the accent color would be awesome
in reply to Sonny

@sonny honestly I'd prefer automatically changing the accent color based on the wallpaper - that way I can get nice integration with my favorite wallpapers :D
in reply to Chris 🌱

yep, we implemented that in elementary OS. I'd love for someone to port it over to GNOME!

The one sort of caveat to the elementary implementation is that it does it so well with the default wallpapers because it’s using explicit metadata stored in the image file itself, which helps paper over the color selection sometimes not doing exactly what a designer would do. Whether we also went that way for GNOME or just used a color matching algorithm, it would still be nice. 😊

Being able to choose an accent color for day and another for night would also be amazing

Oh, and I love these colorful wallpapers (amazing work from @jimmac yet again!). They pair so nicely! I didn’t have to download anything to change up the look—each screenshot was just two or three clicks.

👎 Putting sales prompts at the top of Settings is so shit.

None of these are actual services, they are all 3 month demos.

BREAKING: U.S. phone giant AT&T confirmed Friday it will notify millions of consumers about a fresh data breach that allowed cybercriminals to steal the phone and text records of "nearly all" of its customers, a company spokesperson told TechCrunch.

AT&T confirmed the breach was linked to a data theft at cloud data giant Snowflake. AT&T said the data breach affects at least 110 million AT&T customers.

STAGGERING: Nearly all #ATT customers' text & call records breached.

An unnamed entity now has an NSA-level view into Americans' lives.

Damage isn't limited to AT&T customers.

But everyone they interacted with.

Also a huge national security incident given government customers on the network.

And of course, third party #Snowflake makes an appearance.

Wasn't she the "natural healing" lady? If so she is a piece of shit no matter what she did for the Gnome foundation! My mother used to believe in that shit so as someone who knows how much money people spend on worthless garbage because of those shameless assholes and how hard it is to get people out of it I am ashamed that Gnome ever endorsed such a soulless bitch and wish you departed sooner!!!

For those who don't know about it yet, here is a tool, called Audio Game Manager, that lets you play lots of Windows audio games on Linux. This might be useful to be put on the BT Speak, connected to a USB keyboard or Gamepad of course.

@fireborn Well, I mean, it was just an idea. But that is a good point.
in reply to Devin Prater :blind:

@fireborn It's possible for a custom overlay to be created with BrlTTY that could make some audiogames relatively playable on a BTSpeak, particularly sidescrollers. But one problem with AudioGameManager, it will quite obviously not work on Arm hardware because Wine can't emulate x86 Windows apps on Arm. So AGM itself is more or less a nonstarter on the platform. In other news, I did attempt running the MineRacer arch64 binary on the unit. Turns out...

Die Polizei unterbindet offenbar zur Zeit jeglichen Kontakt von außen zu den beiden Frauen. Sie ist offenbar fest entschlossen, die beiden mit Gewalt in den Flieger zu befördern.

Each month we host a community call. That's your chance to ask us anything, give us compliments (🫶), advocate for this one feature request that you really need implementing.

The next one is up tomorrow! Saturday 13 July, 18:00 CEST. Time in your time zone to note it in your agenda?? timeanddate.com/worldclock/fix…

I would very much appreciate an equalizer for your player. Or an opportunity to decide, where to store the downloads.

Every #GNOMECalendar user owes a HUGE amount of gratitude to @khemicalkoder for solving the timelines backend bug that flew under the radar for years! It was causing at least two heisenbugs and obfuscating testing for a bunch of other bugs in the #GNOME calendaring application. This merge request was absolutely amazing: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

In addition to the 2 bugs fixed, these two other issues become clear enough for newcomers to fix:
* gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…
* gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

Hiya! I'm a programmer looking for full-time work in the SF Bay Area (or remote!)
I'm primarily a Python dev, but I've got significant experience in Java, C#, C++/C, Ruby, and JS.

I've focused a lot on Continuous Integration in recent years but I've got experience with in-house tool development, embedded software, back-end server stuff, and UI/Web/HIL test automation.

gotosocial users following our snapshot releases, i hope you enjoy seeing video thumbnails (finally!), support for audio types, and in general more new media types than you can shake a stick at!

note we are still tweaking and optimizing things, but this ultimately may end up increasing memory usage of your instance. usage reports of those on the snapshot releases are much appreciated.

*due to some other ongoing work to add interaction policies to statuses, you may also notice a new database migration that may take quite a long time. we're doing what we can about this but it has been known to take over an hour on very large instances. please absolutely do not cancel this part way through!

but you should already be expecting these kind of warnings if you're a daredevil running snapshot releases ;) *
