Do any #GNOME folx know why polkit-gnome gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/polic… got archived and is considered "legacy" now? What is "the way" to have graphical applications ask for rights through #PolKit #PolicyKit?
polkit-gnome was the backend that presents the UI to the user; these days, it's integrated into the Shell. Applications have always been using the polkit API directly to ask for authentication: freedesktop.org/software/polki…
@ebassi Thanks! I'll update the ArchLinux Wiki to be more clear that this shouldn't be used with GNOME Shell.
I stumbled on this since a script I use had it's behavior changed recently where before my password was prompted on the CLI it's now opening a window... that looks more like CDE than GNOME and I wondered whether I simply had a package missing

With the massive amount of architectures etc, I almost wonder if running the tests in some form of “virtual C interpreter” that doesn’t represent an actual computer could be a thing. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some static analysis startup at some point in time that had that idea.
Either way, full agree on the practicality of it all. My own personal way of viewing it tends to be “start out with the theoretically best and most correct, then move towards practical”:)
Even if you combine all coverage reports and get ~100% test coverage, it could still be broken on Windows/macOS. One "has" to combine in order to reach code that is specific to certain builds/platforms. But, that implies covering it once is enough which misses the point of having different builds.
Incentive to create tests that have net-negative value, yet increase coverage. Tests that observe internals, mock too much, yet make no meaningful assertion.
stormdragon2976 pushed changes to the master branch of the I38 project Added a help system. It is mod+shift+f1 or in ratpoison mode, ?. I tried to make it more readable, which took some doing, so if something is wrong with it please let me know.

The Fetch API provides an interface for fetching resources (including across the network). It will seem familiar to anyone who has used XMLHttpRequest, but the new API provides a more powerful and flexible feature set.
Usually. I originally titled this InacCSS-onlyible. I even made this typographically, er, distinct image. Then I realized it was silly and will instead use the neologism in a talk so I can hear the groans IRL.
Comme à Sivens pour la mort de Rémi Fraisse, et avant même une issue qui pourrait se révéler aussi tragique, on utilise la presse pour criminaliser une des victimes des armes de guerre utilisées contre les manifestants à #SainteSoline. Ceci est une infamie !

"By being on GitHub, we reduce friction from the contribution process and we maximize the ability for others to join in and help. We lower the bar. This is good for us."
There have been many criticism towards GitHub on the Fediverse (#GiveUpGitHub). Some even say it's the "Twitter of hosting code". While I understand the rationale, I disagree. Been using GitHub for over a decade now and have hundreds of repositories there. Without GitHub it would be amazingly difficult to manage. I use for-profit products by Microsoft, can you imagine some of them have their place in the world?
I can quit Twitter, Facebook, etc. and self-host almost anything, but not my and the firm's code. Why?
Read: "What if GitHub is the devil?", an article by @bagder
You disagree with what exactly? That there are no viable alternatives to a walled garden whose owners abuse those who use it? Who have no respect for their work and intellectual property rights?
Because there are plenty of alternatives that people use every day.
This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github).

Nothing like using one remote access program (Remote Incident Manager by Pneuma Solutions) to troubleshoot another (NVDA Remote by Christopher Toth, @tspivey, et al). Hear that story on Friday on the Digital Domain at 2 PM eDT on #HKCRadio.
@matt You just saved me $80 in transportation (This is my machine, being used near headless so that my radio cohost can host with me from his house). He's completely useless with anything like this, but I could walk him through pulling up RIM and entering a keyword. The whole story is very Hurp a Durp though, which is why I'm telling it on a talk-comedy show.
@matt So while the story is very much one of those stupid techie fails sort of things, while we are very much tongue in cheek in nature, we could do a small thing togehter if you're still interested, and it'd be a kind of pithy piece of audio you can pass around. Our audience does enjoy tech talk, even with the format being talk/comedy. Your call entirely man, and it'd be great to do this (I used to listen to Look at Linux).

Does the danger of laundering code from the training dataset that was under a restrictive license (e.g. copyleft) not bother you? I've decided to keep my current open-source project free of LLM-generated code, at least for now, because of that issue.
When I'm using it for "production" code I only ever generate code that I could have written myself if I'd put the effort in
I sometimes see suspicious chunks when I'm asking it more general research questions ("show me how transformer models work with detailed python examples") but I don't copy those into my own codebase
You might remember that we wrote about browsers on Android a few days ago. With that being said, A new browser app review posted today by Hasan Çimen. Kiwi Browser. This browser has a built-in ad blocker, it supports majority of the extensions found on the chrome web store and it's accessible. Check out the full review, which is located at the following link tinyurl.com/yc5k8xne
Today, I would like to talk about a beautiful web browser that is as accessible as Chrome, easy to use, and does not require additional settings and extensions such as ad-blockers or VPNs

I drove all day from Death Valley to Monument Valley chasing storms in fall of 2021. Got completely skunked, lightning-wise, but at the very last minute the sun broke through the clouds for about 5 minutes before setting and threw the towers into this stunning alpenglow, with a little rainbow on the far left.
#Monal is taking part in this year's #GSoC (google summer of code). There are already lots of interesting project proposals over here: wiki.xmpp.org/web/Google_Summe…

Nizozemská železnice je dost specifická. Národní dopravce nepobírá dotace, naopak z příjmů z jízdného hradí exkluzivní licenci na hlavní síť. Konkurence se domáhá přístupu k hlavním tratím, lidé si ale myslí, že konkurence ke kvalitnějším službám nepovede. nporadio1.nl/nieuws/stand-nl/5…
Tady třeba strojvedoucí národního dopravce žádá „klid na práci“ formou záruky exkluzivity i po roce 2025, kdy současná licence vyprší. Jen tak prý monopolní dopravce může investovat do zkvalitňování služeb.
