#GNOME


Embloggeration happened: bassi.io/articles/2023/10/25/i…

In which I talk about the current plans for gobject-introspection and GLib.

If you work on language bindings, and/or packaging glib, you should reach out to the GLib maintainers.

Fun fact: The XDG desktop portal for GNOME mobile is not adaptive, despite Nautilus being Adaptive (Nautilus is still not yet perfect on mobile but it's getting there)

GNOME Project’s Unexpected CEO Choice: A Bold Move or Misstep?
linuxiac.com/gnome-projects-un…

Holly Million, new to software, now leads GNOME. It is a curious choice for one of the biggest open-source projects, wouldn’t you say?

Resources is a modern interface for managing your system's processes and your open applications. See what programs you have running, and kill the apps that are wasting resources. If you want to see if that helped, you can view the usage graphs for your processor, memory, GPU and more. With Resources, keeping your system in check has never been easier!

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

You can get the app on Flathub here: flathub.org/apps/net.nokyan.Re…

A quick #GNOME #Crosswords Editor development update. I added better selection for grids, and used it to add a feature I've wanted for a while: clue fragment highlighting.

We’re excited to welcome Holly Million as Executive Director of the #GNOME Foundation! 🎉

Holly comes to us with valuable experience in nonprofit management and has served as executive director and board member for numerous organizations. foundation.gnome.org/2023/10/1…

So, this is the simplest ssh-askpass for current #GNOME (make sure to have gcr 4 installed):
#!/usr/bin/gjs -m<br>import System from 'system';<br>import GLib from 'gi://GLib';<br>import Gcr from 'gi://Gcr?version=4';<br>const prompt = Gcr.SystemPrompt.open(-1, null);<br>prompt.set_message(ARGV.join(''));<br>const res = prompt.password(null);<br>if (!res) System.exit(-1);<br>print(res);<br>

Save into a file, chmod +x, set SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=force and SSH_ASKPASS=path/to/prompt.js (where you saved it) when running ssh (and ssh-agent itself?), enjoy working GUI prompt that allows unlocking fido2 security keys when using agent-forwarding.


Frog is such a neat little Linux desktop app to extract text from images.

You can give it an image (file selector, drag & drop) or let it take a screenshot. And you can even paste an image from your clipboard!

This is great for adding alt text when posting an image or copying text (as text) from a screenshot for sharing (or adding to UI mockups, as I often do).

It also reads QR codes and supports several languages.

Interesting to see #gnome post about their #macOS CI builder issues the day after I posted a video about "understanding who your open source constituency is".

It's pretty clear that macOS users are not Gnome's constituency. Fine. But it also goes to show just how much #inkscape, #gimp and other Free Software downstream must also not be their constituency because we're so misaligned on this topic and there's no discussion about our relationship with gnome

The combination of rapidly-improving technologies like GNOME, Flatpak, Wayland, and Portals also means our active privacy protections are also better than ever before.

I went on to write:

>If and when we are able to develop an open, peer reviewed, industry-respected method of responsible and privacy-first telemetry, we may consider doing so.

While that post was in the context of elementary OS, I believe every word I wrote.

#Privacy #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #FOSS #FLOSS #GNOME #Flatpak


Read my colleague @wjt’s post covering the privacy-first system we have built into @EndlessOS, how it fits together, and why it exists.

blogs.gnome.org/wjjt/2023/07/0…

I hope this can serve as the beginning of the ecosystem coming together to solve this unique challenge in a way that is objectively superior than any proprietary system—all with privacy as the fundamental principle.
