If you're posting a thread on here, numbering its posts can be a good way of indicating they are part of a thread. People may see individual posts shared out of context and not realise they are part of a thread, which is why numbering can be useful.

You can number simply by just putting 1,2,3 etc at the end, or 1/3, 2/3 etc if you know how many posts there are. Some people put ๐Ÿงต next to numbers to indicate a thread.

@smfeir @ricky_enger The only B5 that's described is the animated movie. Which also has an amazing commentary track by JMS. In his autobiography, Becoming Superman, he talks a lot about how he thought he would go blind at an early age. That gave me hope for possible description. And a few people I know had reached out about description for this last remastered set. But as you know, as it has been with the franchise since day one, he doesn't have complete control over what makes it to home video release. So I think the last opportunity for us to have it described officially came and went with that set. Or at least until the next Remastering rolls around in five years... or more

Following the example of GitLab and other VC-funded open source companies, @element goes 'open source almost everything' with "Synapse Pro";

"Synapse itself remains open source, and Element will continue to develop it proactively, just as it has for the last 10 years ... Available under a commercial license, Synapse Pro will help fund and accelerate the continued open source development of Synapse for the benefit of all of Matrix."

Another bit you may have noticed, especially if you visit the home page regularly, is that avatars now always load correctly.

The old website had a weird fun Python runtime type error which occurred sometimes when the browser had an avatar in the cache already.

Because we deleted the almost 10k lines of Python code and replaced it with Rust, that can't happen anymore \o/.

(Also, it's now faster and less memory use, which is nice.)

Introducing Refine, an app to tweak advanced and experimental settings in GNOME. It is an alternative to GNOME Tweaks, and is a pet project I'm currently working to experiment with PyGObject and dconf, while following the data-driven, object-oriented, and composition paradigms.

The entire codebase is made up of widgets that provide all the functionality needed to add an option. For example, instead of adding each option programmatically in Refine, the ultimate goal is to have it all done in the UI file.

For example, if we want to add an option to enable or disable middle click paste, all we need is the following code in the UI file:

$RefineSwitchRow {<br>  title: _('Middle Click Paste');<br>  schema-id: 'org.gnome.desktop.interface';<br>  key: 'gtk-enable-primary-paste';<br>}<br>

That's it. The RefineSwitchRow widget will do whatever it needs to do to ensure the option is available, grab the setting if it's available, and display it to the user. Many of these widgets provide extra functionality, such as a Reset button.

You can get Refine on Flathub: flathub.org/apps/page.tesk.Refโ€ฆ

Everything else (source code, screenshot, etc.) is in the project website: tesk.page/refine/, as well as the Flathub link.
