This article, a link to which was circulated on the Orca mailing list, describes welcome accessibility improvements in GTK 4.14.

The #GUADEC2024 call for abstracts for those looking to be *sponsored* has passed (due to visa reqs & travel lead time), BUT the call for both in-person (if you don’t need sponsorship) and remote talks IS STILL OPEN!

events.gnome.org/event/209/abs…

If you’ve been working on something interesting in GNOME or GNOME-adjacent spaces and can present remotely or get yourself to Denver in July, you still have just over two weeks to propose a talk!

Is this Python diagnostics coming to Workbench 46 ? :python: :gnome:

Why yes it is!

Collaborative effort with @janvhs and @capypara 🙌

We are using pylsp and Ruff.

I'm also very excited to share that all 100+ demos have been ported to Python. Thanks to all contributors!

Other than the fresh new default, 46 will come with a fresh set of wallpapers to pick from. Ready for some new pixels?

Who's up for a fresh new release of Folio?

Lots of fixes and new features like bare link and e-mail address formatting, along with ctl-click to open links in your default e-mail client or browser!

See the whole change log in the app->about page or on the github release page(github.com/toolstack/Folio/rel…)

Ok, so I'm a few days late, but I have been using my new OnePlus 6 with #GNOME Shell mobile and #postmarketOS, aside from a few issues (the camera not working, but that's being worked on, GPS not really working, weird "Headphones" and "Earpiece" outputs showing, GNOME being a bit laggy, mobile data randomly stops), I have switched my SIM card over and it surprisingly hasn't been too bad.

Maybe I'll try #KDE #Plasma Mobile soon as well :D

Over the last months the Rust/cargo support in meson improved a lot.

It's now ready to build and install a GTK4 Rust application with around 70 dependencies without having to write almost any custom build glue for the dependencies.

github.com/sdroege/mandelbrot#…

The application in question is just a small experiment of mine for rayon and GTK4 input handling / rendering. The more or less same should work for other GTK4 applications at this point.

All this still depends on two unmerged meson PRs, but it's a huge step forward from the situation just a few months ago.

Thanks to the hard work of @xclaesse and dcbaker!

I hope in the future this will allow GNOME applications written in Rust to have a less strange and fragile build setup than what they have right now with mixing cargo and meson.

I've been an open source advocate for a long time, and use it daily. One of my favourite GNOME apps is Paper (flathub.org/apps/io.posidon.Pa…) however the author no longer has time to support it and it is in desperate need of updating.

So I've decided to fork it and update it, you can now find Folio on Github (github.com/toolstack/Folio) and Flathub (flathub.org/apps/com.toolstack…).

#GNOME Clocks' timezones dialog is not really keyboard-friendly. These two #accessibility issues I filed would probably be easy for a newcomer to fix:

If you ever find yourself unable to pick a song, try listening to internet radio with Shortwave! The app lets you search and browse through over 30000 stations, giving you the option to save any you like to your library. The songs you hear are automatically recognised, with the option to save them individually. Easily find new music with Shortwave!

You can follow the app's creator here: @haeckerfelix

You can get the app on Flathub here: flathub.org/apps/de.haeckerfel…

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 😄

Hey #gnome and #kde people, since you are at #fosdem could you maybe discuss what would it take to make a common toolkit (Linux toolkit?) that would appeal to both #c and #cpp devs? Basically covering both platforms so we could converge. Maybe #swiftlang? Fork of #Kotlin native? Seems to me we would be better off with people writing mobile apps for Linux desktop, than people writing web apps and electron garbage on desktop.
