Accessibility in Fedora Workstation

One area we realized we hadn't given so much focus recently was around technologies that allowed people with various disabilities to make use of our software.

📢 📢 📢 Today we publish an Open Letter from developers to the #Linux #community regarding shipping unfinished patches to users.

Shipping unfinished patches harms the user experience and slows down the review process in #FOSS projects to improve the patches.

A Letter to #Discord for not Supporting the #Linux Desktop

theevilskeleton.gitlab.io/2022…

I rewrote the whole article because I sounded extremely rude before. It's not nice to be rude to developers, whether you like them or not; whether the application is open source or not. Hopefully this revision is respectful and doesn't sound like I am shaming them.

A Letter to Discord for not Supporting the Linux Desktop

Discord is popular among the Linux desktop community. Thanks to Electron, the framework that Discord uses, it was possible for Discord to port the client over to Linux very easily.

Neat :) Not being POSIX that doesn’t work for me in Fish shell but Alt+left-arrow goes to the previous working directory and Alt+right-arrow goes to the next.

#fishShell #cd #linux #unix

From a POSIX shell `$OLDPWD` holds the name of the previous working directory:
cd /tmp
echo You are here: $PWD
echo You were here: $OLDPWD

Warning: There’s an app for blurring out sensitive information in images called Obfuscate being featured on #GNOME Software right now.

Please be careful.

The default blur setting can easily be reversed.

The default should be to replace the areas with a solid colour or a pattern not derived from the underlying information.

This really should not be a featured app in its current state.

So this is one of the coolest things about Fedora Silverblue (apart from the excellent stability, speed, and gorgeous stock GNOME 42): the first entry you see is today’s operating system. The second one is yesterday’s. If I wanted to, I could revert to the latter with a single command.

Linux life hack: say you have a page open in Firefox on your Linux machine and you want to view it on your phone (and you don’t have some fancy integration between the two)…

Instead of typing in the URL, get the FxQRL extension that shows you a QR code of the current tab’s URL and aim your phone’s camera at it.

Boom! :)
