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!
EU privacy regulators say Facebook and Instagram must not force users to agree to tracking by putting this requirement into their terms. In the future, Facebook must add a clear Yes & No option through which you can accept being tracked - or deny it! #Fight4Privacy 💪

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.

Back in 2018 I spent a month in Brussels. It was the first time I lived in a capital city so it was quite a stressful experience: not much time, a couple of routes to learn, pretty loud and congested streets and trash bags put directly on the pavements - an easy target to hit with a white cane. I enjoyed it though and one takeaway I've got is how easy to read the tactile plans at the Brussels central station are.
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:

For almost one year and a half I had the pleasure of living in Innsbruck, the charming Austrian city which is the capital of the Alpine region of Tirol which is very popular with tourists. While my stay there was heavily marked by the Covid situation, lockdowns and a really difficult start to building a stable social life, it presented me with some highlights of interest to us so here are they:
- A tiny version of the Czech remotes system, at that time capable of triggering the audible traffic lights, currently also the talking public transport info boards;
- an exceptional training of the public transport drivers who always stopped the bus right in front of you as long as you stood at the designated, tactile spot; opened the door and told you the bus/tram line they were driving;
- a tactile line going across what seemed to be all of the city's market square which made for a nice walk through the city center;
- the general feeling of safety that encouraged me to take long walks and explore the city by myself;
- the amazing community around my former workplace, Freirad, the social, community-driven radio station that focused on giving voice to those who wouldn't find it in the mainstream media. This meant tons of content from marginalized groups, a wealth of diverse cultural, music and linguistic spectrum and plenty of social initiatives on air. Of course, blind and partially sighted radio hosts were more than welcome and I was happy to be a part of this journey, organizing workshops for prospective hosts with visual impairments, including a really fun group of kids and spreading the word about the importance of accessibility which was always well-received. My former show on Freirad aired for the last time today so it's a bit of a chapter closing.

As there were no links today, have a binaural audio postcard from Amras, a village that became a part of Innsbruck itself some hundret years ago. The recording was taken in the lovely park near the Schloss Amras castle which is located somewhat uphill and makes for a good basic hike for starters. Recording made using the Ambeo Smart headset hooked up to an iPod touch 7th Gen.
The recording is a 1:26 long collage of several clips taken in the park.
Clip 1: Birds chirping with some cars driving past in the background (the park was located directly over a highway);
Clip 2: The call of a group of peacocks mixed with footsteps and somewhat strong wind blowing into the mikes;
Clip 3: A waterfall flowing to my right and footsteps over a wooden bridge;
Clip 4: Moving further past the waterfall so that it's moving in the stereo spectrum and a white cane hitting the wooden bridge;
Clip 5: Another perspective of the waterfall;
Clip 6: Clearly can't get enough of waterfalls;
Clip 7: The last sounds of a waterfall, peacocks and the white cane;
I recommend listening in headphones for the best spacial experience.
