Flathub is about to be a whole lot more colorful - but we need your help!

Thanks to the recent port to libappstream Flathub now supports the AppStream brand colors, which we'll need for curated banners on the homepage.

If you maintain an app on Flathub, add brand colors to your app's MetaInfo file today 💅️🌈️

Blog post: docs.flathub.org/blog/introduc…

Documentation: docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-…

Screenshot of a staging version of the Flathub homepage with colorful featured banners at the top. There's a large banner at the top for Planify with a light blue background, and a turqouise banner below for Videos.

Introducing App Brand Colors | Flathub Documentation

We're gearing up to launch curated banners on the Flathub home page! However, before we can do that there's one more blocker: Banners need a background color for each app, and many apps don't provide this metadata yet.

There’s going to be a spectacular eclipse in the US on April 8th.

That’s a Monday, or Moonday.

OSARA accessibility plug-in for Reaper, new feature, courtesy of @jcsteh :
Optionally configure REAPER for optimal screen reader accessibility.
The user will be prompted once at startup to do this. Alternatively, they can run the action OSARA: Configure REAPER for optimal screen reader accessibility at any time. This currently does the following:
Undocks the Media Explorer by default so that it gets focus when opened.
Enables legacy file browse dialogs so that REAPER specific options in the Open and Save As dialogs can be reached with the tab key.
Enables the space key to be used for check boxes, etc. in various windows.
Shows text to indicate parallel, offline and bypassed in the FX list.
Uses a standard, accessible edit control for the video code editor.

Seirdy

yes, and Akko-FE reliably detects it and stops it from animating before I focus/hover/tap it. It always worked well with GIFs but I think it’s working better with APNGs now? I may be wrong; I haven’t yet checked the commits that modified the animated graphic detection logic.

Edit: yep, it got a revamp: akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma-f…

How can we prevent Wikipedia from crumbling under the weight of "AI" garbage spewing, and disinformation specialists' gleeful use of the garbage?

@molly0xfff says you can help best by becoming a Wikipedia editor.

It's not difficult. We all need to participate.

Become a Wikipedian in 30 minutes

What will we do if Wikipedia falls to the type of AI-generated garbage that seems to be proliferating on the web? The number one thing you can do is learn to edit, and I will walk you through how to get started in only 30 minutes.

Here’s an audio glimpse and a couple of moments in time of the daily life in India. At this time of year, the vetting season is pretty alive. There are multiple weddings per day and the accompanying parties that go along with those weddings. The traditions of a traditional Gujarati wedding Appear to get wilder every day. It feels like there’s a competition among people to make weddings as expensive as possible. The more expensive they are, the more they can show off. #India

uspol but applies to the whole world, fascism

If you have five and a half hours, I recommend watch Jessie Gender and Aranok's video about the monomyth of Star Wars youtu.be/puXNbtHksb0

If you don't have that time, the big important takeaway is that neoliberalism and fascism are only opposed on a surface level, but actually rely on each other to recycle the "Hero's Journey" and maintain the status quo.

So, if you're wondering why exactly Biden isn't opposing the fascists as well as he could even though he stands to lose an election as a result, and thus the fascism he claims to oppose may win, it's because Biden and the rest of the neoliberals rely on fascism. Because in order to justify neoliberalism and all the bullshit that comes with it, they must be the heroes that save us from fascism.

re: uspol but applies to the whole world, fascism

Hm it's kinda like "liberalism can't stop facism from happening liberalism is best ground for fascism to take advantage of". This was true for Republic from star was too. And Jedi Order only contributed to changing into defenders of corrupt Republic and all it entails instead of the Galaxy. Something like Republic is easy to take over by fascists.

And then comes The Resistance. But resistance isn't one monogamous thing.

"Saw: Kreegyr’s a Separatist. Maya Pei’s a Neo-Republican. The Ghorman Front. The Partisan Alliance? Sectorists! Human cultists! Galaxy partitionists! They’re lost, all of them lost! Lost. What are you Luthen? I’ve never really known. What are you?"

The resistance is taken over by liberals in time and they bring about the same thing as it was before. The same corrupt Republic. The republic is "benevolent" and "reformed" but that doesn't abolish the system it was only done to keep the opressive systems going so it's beneficiaries can profit from them. It still would be opressive but they would proudly wear progressive mask.

Professor Code

Although it's a close call between Signal and Threema for me, I chose Threema because you don't need the Google Play Store to install it.

You can buy a license through their store and install it via F-Droid (or as an APK file). Threema Desktop also provides both DEB and RPM packages for Linux, whereas Signal Desktop is a hassle to install (unless we use the unofficial Flatpak).

Session is a great private messenger, but the UI/UX is barebones and not all that great.

Good morning and happy Sunday #Fediverse

How is everyone doing today and what do we all have planned for today?

It's very possible the wife and I might head to the mall today, but not sure. We definitely need to catch up on some TV shows that we are behind on, so maybe that too will happen today as we keep putting it off.

Other than, just a relaxing day hopefully.
