GNOME 46 přináší souhrn změn, které se vývojářům podařilo implementovat od října 2023. Mezi ně patří podpora pro variabilní obnovovací frekvenci, podpora OneDrive v Nautilu, přepracovaná upozornění nebo vzdálené přihlášení.
Wrote a blog post talking about the developments with PipeWire camera support in applications and also the FireWire FFADO support. If you read my previous tweets about this there is not to much new in the blog post. blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2024/03… #pipewire #linux #fedora
Keep testing the OBS and Firefox PipeWire camera support. Screenshot below is Firefox and OBS sharing a camera through PipeWire and also OBS embedding the Firefox window plus also having my USB HDMI capture screen included. #pipewire #linux #obsstudio #fedora #flatpak
After being kneecapped by a #patents troll years ago, #Mozilla Location Services, the only somewhat trusted (non-Google/Apple) "Wi-Fi positioning system" (geolocation based on triangulating collected #WiFi SSIDs), is now shutting down: github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/iss…
MLS was how #GeoClue could get a meters-accurate location without a #GPS receiver / sky line-of-sight.
It was used by many #GNOME / #KDE apps to get instantaneous neighborhood-level location (for maps, local weather…) on #Linux laptops.
The accuracy of Mozilla Location Service (MLS) has steadily declined. With no plans to restart the stumbler program or increase investments to MLS we have made the decision to retire the service. I...
With todays release of @OBSProject 30.1.0, which of course is available as a Flatpak, I was finally able to have Helvum display this for video streams through @pipewirep. I have to admit I did have some issues, but hopefully we can iron those out quickly in PipeWire and @libcamera. #linux #pipewire #fedora
So @gnome is removing the x11 session, leaving just the Wayland one.
If this goes out before Orca, the GNOME screen reader, is fixed to work on Wayland, it will mean that people who rely on screen readers will have no way to use one on GNOME. And thus on the major Linux distributions.
So I’m hoping the plan is that this change will not land until GNOME has a working screen reader.
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!
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!
For IRC lovers who also happen to love and use Linux, I have some good news for you! I have created hooks for the Smuxi IRC client that add sound support for message events. So far only send and receive are supported along with a different sound if your name is mentioned in a message, but more are on the way! Smuxi is extremely accessible, Orca supports auto reading of messages received and sent automatically, the only thing missing was sound support. Instructions on using the hooks as well as the hooks themselves are here: github.com/destructatron/smuxi… #Linux #Accessibility
Check out this recap of the work that Community Platform Engineering did in 2023! The CPE team is made up of the folks who manage Fedora infrastructure, Fedora release engineering, and @centos infrastructure.
Projects worked on or investigated: * Making a @matrix native zodbot * Moving our registry to quay.io * Backend service for Fedora Badges * And more!
This is a summary of the work done on initiatives by the Community Platform Engineering (CPE) Team. Every quarter, the CPE team works together with CentOS Project and Fedora Project community leaders and representatives to choose projects that will b…
Voici des nouvelles du développement de Thunderbird : — travail en cours sur #Exchange avec du Rust — la synchronisation de Thunderbird est presque prête à être testée #Sync — comme avec Flatpak, le projet s’approprie le paquet #Linux Snap blog.thunderbird.net/2024/02/t…
Happy Friday Fediverse family! In case you missed it: ☑️ We're working on Exchange support ☑️ Thunderbird Sync is almost ready for testing ☑️ As we did with Flatpak, we're taking ownership of the Linux Snap package.
I just found out that in the past few months there has been work happening in @gnome to allow for encrypting user home directories using #systemd homed : thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2024/…
It appears as though this would put each home directory inside its own LUKS container that would be locked when the user logs out or the hardware suspends. This would be a major improvement to the security profile of #Linux on the desktop!
Currently, on most systems (including Linux) regular user data is only effectively protected by system encryption when the hardware is completely turned off, but not when it is suspended.
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

“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:
Hey Fedi! We're hosting a panel at SCALE 21x with some of the major players in the Linux desktop ecosystem to discuss where we go from here, any big ideas you want us to discuss?
Most of the questions in the document will not be covered. The questions are meant to serve as discussion starters for each topic to be used as the conversation permits.
If you ever feel like your life has no purpose, just remember that there's someone at Microsoft whose job is to make sure Microsoft Edge works on #Linux.
