Oh, thank goodness not having a fully functional screen reader isn’t a blocker for Fedora 41. We wouldn’t want them to miss their 10th anniversary of shipping an operating system without a fully functional screen reader, after all.
I do pity the general population who has to be subjected to that sort of built-in data collection, and all the security and privacy problems it entails. Too bad #Linux is not even a blip on the public consciousness & cultural upbringing.
I proto mám rád #Linux a jeho možnosti volby. Aktuálně tedy @kde #Plasma, předtím @xfce a ještě předtím #Gnome (a zkoušel jsem i mnoho jiných). Těch možností voleb a konfigurace je tam nespočet. V případě Gnome to teď sice úplně neplatí, což je důvod, proč používám Plasmu, ale o tom to přesně je, o té možnosti volby. Rozumím směru, kterým M$ jde a jsem rád, že mám možnost volby jiného OS. zive.cz/clanky/zkracene-datum-…

I'd really like to read a well researched article that sums up how Linux distros reacted to the massive influx of #Linux #kernel CVE that started ~half a year – both for their #LinuxKernel packages and their live-patching offerings.
But I guess that is an enormous amount of work that no media outlet in this world is willing to pay anyone for writing. 😕
Here's a link to the slides for my "Why are there so many kernel CVEs?" talk I gave at OSS China yesterday: https://kccncossaidevchn2024.sched.com/event/ed2b39a9a0cdfc1df18de67ce0c2f6be Link to gi...
After many months, I finally found the time to finish the GNOME desktop/application settings migration in the Linux Desktop Migration Tool and did another release.
It's been a busy year, and our platform and developer community-building efforts are paying off. Let's take a look at what we've been up to over the last six months, and measure its effect.
For those who are interested in alternative ways to use a Linux interface, there are things even lighter than desktop environments, called window managers. There's one called I3, and @storm has made an accessibility plugin forit, which also adds other cool stuff like the ability to control audio playback and such. It's called I38.
Auch wenn #Microsoft aus Eigeninteresse etwas anderes behauptet: Alle gängigen Computer, die jünger als ca. 10 Jahre sind, sind schnell genug als Arbeitstier für alltägliche Aufgaben wie das Surfen im Internet oder Videokonferenzen. Und etwas anderes findet ja auch auf den meisten Bürocomputern nicht statt – neue Software läuft meist (auch) im Webbrowser.
Wenn ein betagter Computer täglich viele Stunden läuft, kann es sinnvoll sein, ihn durch einen stromsparenderen zu ersetzen.
Wenn MS sich weigert, #Windows11 auf einem Computer laufen zu lassen, auf dem #Windows10 läuft, ist das kein Grund, die Hardware zu ersetzen, aber ein guter Grund, zu #Linux zu wechseln.
Bei der @datenfreude überlegen wir, eine #LinuxInstallParty in #Bielefeld zu veranstalten. Also ein Treffen z.B. in den @acmelabs, bei dem Leute ihre Laptops mitbringen können und dann mit unserer Hilfe ein GNU/Linux darauf installieren. Gäbe es daran Interesse?
UPDATE: #Datenfreude heißt inzwischen @Datenpunks, und wir haben uns heute darauf festgelegt, am 7. Dezember in den Räumen der @acmelabs eine LinuxInstallParty zu veranstalten. Wir bereiten bootbare USB-Sticks vor, auf denen verschiedene Linux-Distributionen zum unverbindlichen Ausprobieren bereitstehen. Wenn euch eine gefällt, könnt ihr sie direkt installieren. Falls ihr schon Windows auf eurem Computer habt, kann das draufbleiben (#dualBoot) oder ersetzt werden. Am besten macht ihr in dann vorher ein Backup.
Microsofts zunehmenden Windows-Gängeleien entkommen Sie mit einem Wechsel auf Linux. Wir empfehlen Distributionen und zeigen, wie Sie den Umzug meistern.

I've proposed a merge request to GNOME's likely new Video Player app codenamed Showtime. The feature? Toggling between video duration and time remaining by clicking the end timestamp. :)
It's the little things!
I think this might be my first contribution to a GNOME Python app. It was a bit of a trip coming from Vala and JavaScript land, but I _think_ I did okay for a first pass.
relax, #windows users are used to it. I use #emacs with the #magit #git porcelain all day, and each operation is like that: unnoticeable delay on #linux, several seconds on Windows.
1 year ago I switched from Mac to Linux for professional UX design work. In this article, I explain as simply as possible: - Why I switched to Linux - How you can do the same.
I cover design-specific concerns like: - How to use Apple devices like the Magic Mouse in Linux - Which design tools are available and how to install them - How to find help if you get stuck

Despite all my experience, I am sometimes tempted to give certain #software vendors a second chance.
And I was curious to see what the new #AppleMaps could do. Unfortunately, my trial only lasted a few seconds, because neither one of my operating systems nor the browser I use for my daily work are supported.
And so I can say: negative prejudices confirmed, I don't need something like this.
I was checking out this year's #StackOverflow annual developer report that few things caught my eye:
1. They have deliberately drawn the wrong conclusion about most popular operating system. They have interpreted #Linux distro as operating system, so they have separately provided numbers for Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, and etc., and have concluded that "Windows is the most popular operating system for developers, across both personal and professional use".
