Last talk of the day — and last formal talk of #guadec. Lightning talks part two:
- yours truly talking about the great work by some GSoC students in gnome crossword
- @zeenix talking about zlink -- a dbus replacement
- Tobias, Andreas, and Julian continued yesterday's talk about Local First. Curse of the real time demo struck. But having seen it work yesterday, it's pretty cool.
- Neil's presenting gnurd. Wild talk about tracking 💩. Very entertaining, but serious point at the end.
- @jimmac gave us a trip down memory lane of icons over the years
- @ramcq talked about what @EndlessAccess is working on. Apparently adorable games that teach kids.
- Jordan covered all the great CI improvements
- Aryan talked about using extensions as a way to start contributing to #gnome
- Syazwan talked about open source from Malaysia. he helps run the gnome YouTube streams
- Pietro (age 12) talked about the programs he's written. Very cool, very inspirational.
The first privately developed U.S. nuclear enrichment facility is going to be built in Paducah, Kentucky at the site of a former nuclear fuel plant. The US government is now allowing a private citizen to enrich uranium, aka nuclear bombs. That private citizen is "destroy humanity" Peter Thiel.

We've seen this exact playbook play out just very recently with "protecting women in sports". We all are seeing their end goal.
Stop believing this kind of people when they say they just want to protect children / stop one bad thing / etc. It's always the same goal. It's always the same playbook. Stop it now before it gains momentum.

Někdo zde psal, že prý nezáleží, jakou verzi Mastodonu používáte. Ale verze 4.4 přináší docela dost novinek:
📌 **Profil a síť:** Záložka „Featured“ pro hashtagy/účty, karusel připnutých příspěvků, widget s počtem společných sledujících a možnost odstranit followera bez blokace.
📋 **Seznamy:** Snazší správa – přidávání/odebírání účtů do listů přímo z profilů a seznamů sledujících/sledovaných.
🎧 **Média:** Nový audio přehrávač (zkratky: ←→ skok, ↑↓ hlasitost, „m“ ztlumení, „f“ fullscreen), lepší zoom fotek, swipe zavření, ALT text s připomínkou.
📱 **Navigace & onboarding:** Spodní panel na mobilu, „Explore“ → „Trending“, nový layout sidebaru, onboarding zjednodušený na 2 kroky + vyhledávání.
⚙️ **Admin:** Správa podmínek služby, věková hranice, e‑mailová oznámení, interní poznámky moderátorů.
🚨 **Federated nahlášení:** Objevili jsme s @fabia_man novinku – v adminu se zobrazí, že hlášení pochází z jiného serveru, ale týká se vašeho uživatele. Užitečné pro rychlou orientaci! (viz screenshot)
💬 **Quote Posts:** 4.4 umí zobrazit citace z jiných platforem. Možnost tvořit vlastní přijde ve 4.5.
🔮 **Co dál:** Chystá se 4.5 s tvorbou citací, customizací instancí a vylepšeným načítáním odpovědí.
Verze nejsou jen čísla – update má smysl 🚀
#mastodon #oscloud #mamutovo
Ale pro adminy, moderátory nebo lidi na webu je tam těch zlepšení fakt hodně. @fabia_man
Pro hashtagy:
Jdeš na stránku hashtagu
Klikneš "Zvýraznit na mém profilu"
Na tvém profilu se objeví tab "Featured" kde lidé uvidí všechny tvé posty s tímto hashtagem
Pro uživatele:
Jdeš na profil někoho koho chceš propagovat
Klikneš "Zvýrazněné"
Tento člověk se zobrazí v "Featured" tabu na tvém profilu

Redundant Engagement Counts?
How would people feel about a future version of Bookface removing the engagement counts from the Action Button? Now that the response info is reduced to an icon and a number the count on the Action Button with the same icon is redundant and makes the UI unnecessarily cluttered.
I know since the beginning of Bookface some people have found the engagement counts on the buttons too "busy" or "distracting" but before I remove them I thought I'd ask how people feel about that?
I don't know if anyone else has noticed it, but sometimes the engagement counts and responses don't agree. I *think* this is because the engagement counts are subtracting your own interactions? So in the screenshot above it's not counting my 2 comments and not counting my "Like" on the buttons, but is counting them in the response totals. Getting rid of the counts on the buttons would eliminate this inconsistency.
Thoughts?
You have understood correctly. The count list under the function button can be deactivated.
Just tried it on my dev server. Looks like hiding it only works in Frio? It seems the themes have to have {{if $item.legacy_activities}} to support hiding it.
You said the demand for this was very high. Was it an objection to showing the names or showing the totals or both?
I've been working on a theme similar to "Bookface" only based on Vier instead of Frio. One thing that has frustrated me are the engagement counts/lists because the code for them comes into the theme template already having been formatted in PHP, so then I have to use CSS to hide the bits I don't want which gets messy.
It would be so much better if only the DATA were coming into the templates, meaning the total and, I guess optionally, the array of names and links for that response. IMO no HTML formatting should be happening in PHP functions, it should be formatted in the templates. But changing it would require a bunch of edits to core files, which would break all the existing themes.
As far as I can tell the *only* reason it's being formatted in PHP is to handle singular and plural cases of the extraneous verbiage that I don't feel is necessary in the first place (which is why I've hidden all of it in Bookface).
@Random Penguin
On the Share or Like button, you only see a mouseover that displays the names of the users, but no clickable preview with a link to the user profile. This was seen as a shortcoming. Many users not only want to see who has clicked a button, but also want to jump to the profile.
It was therefore discussed in the project whether a separate view was needed in which the user clicks are displayed and the profiles can be called up. If I remember the discussion correctly, the behaviour should be similar to Mastodon.
Unfortunately, I can't find the issues at the moment.
@Random Penguin
Oh, that's great. I think something like that would fit very well. It connects the separate functions in Friendica and provides real added value. I think that was the goal in the issues and could be realised identically for Frio and Vier.
Please bear in mind that I am quoting the issues from memory, as I unfortunately cannot find them.
[frio] find solution / workaround for mouseover event on mobile
On frio desktop there are some places that utilize mouseover to show additional info like post action icon number (showing users who interacted) hovercard (TBD whether to keep or not #13453) There ...foss- (GitHub)
:active state which triggers it on tap. This is alongside the :hover state for mouse and :focus and :focus-within which trigger it for keyboard/screenreader.
But changing it would require a bunch of edits to core files, which would break all the existing themes.
Maybe this is something we could make an issue for and see if there's support for it? I don't think other themes besides Vier and Frio are maintained (and Vier is barely maintained, which IMO makes sense given how powerful but also really complex themes are, not just being CSS overrides) so we'd just have to update those two.
Also I think the count mismatch should be reported, as long as other themes show them. I can do that using/referencing your image if that's ok.
About the like count differences I wonder if it's because the line includes all reactions and thus counts that emoji as one as well...?
When the icon is directly on the like button it kinda makes sense it's all likes only. In that case all of the reacts should have individual counters. Otherwise they could be dropped and there could be a total counter only, which perhaps expand to show the individual distribution or something like that.
Like Facebook, as you show above.
