Poprvé pořádně zkouším #xmpp komunikaci v terminálu, rozhodl jsem se vyzkoušet doporučené #ProfanityIM a je to super 😀👍 Těch možností a ta rychlost ⚡.
Samozřejmě to chce trošku pročíst základní informace na profanity-im.github.io/guide/0… a potom si vygenerovat svůj OMEMO a důvěřovat OMEMO klíčům od lidí, se kterými si chci šifrovaně psát. Ale během 10 minut jsem měl vše nastaveno.
Jen zatím nevím, jak uložit heslo, něco jako auto-login při spuštění, možná ví @archos ? #Linux #opensource #messaging


#FOSDEM: While efficient video playback has long been possible in the embedded #Linux world, desktop applications have been lagging behind. Here's a look at the state of video offloading on the Linux desktop, by Robert Mader: youtube.com/watch?v=SMCMZwAiw2… #GStreamer #GTK #Chromium


“Improved build validation, increased moderation, and the long-awaited switch to libappstream” by @barthalion

Heads up to app developers: Flathub’s automatic build validation is more thorough now, and includes checks for issues we previously would have only flagged manually. There’s a chance that if your app has been passing continuous integration checks previously, it will fail now; here’s why, and what to do about it:

TIL: #Wayland breaks most screen readers, as they are not not intended by design. (they need to interact with other apps)

Wayland is now the default in pretty much all gnome distros.

Orca has workarounds, but they are not merged and not fully working. (And a blind user can't built it without a working screen reader)

I'm not entirely sure if I got this correct, but it seems to me like the #Linux community once again booted the #blind.

#ILoveFreeSoftware, you love #FreeSoftware. Let's get that down. Most of the time you don't even notice that you're using a device running a :linux: #Linux kernel, :gnu: #GNUtils or services like :apache: #ApacheWebserver, :matrix: #Matrix etc. as they just work and don't get in your way; don't bother you reading ancient 📜 #EULA; don't track you ...

But have you ever said thank you to all the :linus: contributors supporting the projects and sustaining #SoftwareFreedom?! If not, then today's your lucky day. :awesome:

Create a sharepic via @fsfe's sharepic.fsfe.org/#ilovefs tool and use the #ILoveFS hashtag to show your appreciation. Additionally, spend some time looking up the #Fediverse handle of your favorite projects and mentioned them.

Happy I 🧡 Free Software Day!

Alright I think I'm finally happy with the Workbench 46 demo for AdwDialog 🛠️

It's such a cool primitive for building adaptive apps. I hope the blob cat will make some people smile 😄

Microsoft sneaks ads into the new Outlook for Windows - gHacks Tech News

Do you, or have you ever, used a graphical user interface? If you use #Windows, #macOS, or any version of #Linux with a window manager or desktop environment, you can thank Dr. Clarence "Skip" Ellis.

Dr. Ellis worked at Xerox PARC, the research organization that developed the modern GUI. Icons, windows, the mouse, Ethernet-based networking, laser printing - all of these (and more) came out of PARC. Dr. Ellis led the team that created Officetalk, the first program to use icons and the Internet. He got his start at 15 years old showing a local tech company how to reuse punch cards, which was a game-changer back in 1958.

Oh, and he was also the first black man to earn a PhD in Computer Science.

Version 1.2.0 of the xdg-utils is out! :drgn_box:

Please test them! (But don't deploy yet)

Thank you to everyone else who contributed and thanks to Simon for the trust and maintainer work! :drgn_heart:


We need more eyes on that code! :drgn_notice:

The xdg-utils are children of their time, shellscripts that by large don’t follow a “modern” scripting style …

… which means that there is a lot of work to catch up on and any changes should be reviewed by more people than they currently are.
In case you want to help:
Just pick something that seems interesting and doable for you and open an issue/merge request.

Things that need to be done:

  • Read the code and try to find mistakes (Usage of external tools, escaping, …)
  • Find mistakes in open merge requests.
  • Review, research and fix issues.
  • Improve tests
  • Improve documentation
  • Rebase old merge requests
  • Improve Cygwin and MacOS support
  • etc.

Implementing battery charge limits in GNOME

@Felix Häcker Vow! I welcome everyone interested in #accessibility on #linux to read this one and a few previous iterations. Many regular contributors to @GNOME are tackling #accessibility issues these weeks.


"Many recent Intel laptops have […] a raw MIPI camera-sensor connected to the IPU6 found in recent Intel laptop chips.

[…] #Linux support for the IPU6 relies on an out of tree #kernel driver with a proprietary userspace stack […]

[…] Linaro has started a project to […] allow these cameras to work without needing proprietary software and Red Hat has joined Linaro in working on this. […]

This work is at a point now where it is ready for wider testing. […]"

I recently switched to using a unified kernel image on my laptop - a UEFI executable that includes the kernel and the initial RAM disk. It is loaded directly by the UEFI firmware, hence no boot loader is needed anymore.
I'm still resolving a few issues, but it's essentially working. For now, at least, I've decided to use dracut to generate the initramfs image, and the Arch Linux dracut-ukify package to automate creation of the unified kernel image.
