phosh 0.35.0 is out 🚀📱:
Among other QoL improvements this fixes the suspend inhibitor when using your phone as a WiFi hotspot and gives more screen estate due to a narrow home bar (by mathew-dennis),

Building and coordinating a team to support the GNOME project is one of the most fulfilling job I've had.
I find these are some of the biggest challenges
• Lots of people and organizations to coordinate with 🗺️
• Some projects are cans of worms 🥫🐛
• So many things to do 🏃
But it's very rewarding and everyone is brilliant and passionate.
I think I'll start sharing more personal updates on our efforts
Context foundation.gnome.org/2023/11/0…
I'll also be at #fosdem and do a short talk about #Wayland video offloading related stuff I've been posting about, featuring #gtk4, #gstreamer, #Chromium #gnomeshell and #weston

See you there!
Currently working on two #gnome apps!
- Scripter: A simple app for basic scripts ⌨️ & calculations 📐 [GitHub: github.com/david-swift/Scripte…]
- Flashcards: Create, edit, and study flashcard sets 🎓 - easily import your existing Quizlet sets [GitHub: github.com/david-swift/Flashca…]
Both are written in #swift using an interface similar to #swiftui for #gtk and #libadwaita [GitHub: github.com/AparokshaUI/Adwaita]

I made a new #GNOME #Crosswords release. This release is light on end-user visible changes, but is good preparation for the next stage. It finalizes the basic visual design, and the underlying stateless architecture will make it a lot easier to extend.
To test the design, I did some initial panes. For creating the grid I added some statistics and histograms. For authoring clues I added anagrams, and odd and even words.
Full update is here: blogs.gnome.org/jrb/2024/01/05…
phosh 0.34.1 is out 🚀📱:
This fixes two user visible regressions that crept into 0.34.0.

The maintainer of the Orca screen reader, Joanie Diggs, has made noteworthy enhancements in recent weeks. I mention them here for the benefit of those who are not following these developments or who are not regular Linux screen reader users.
Many of the improvements are performance-related, taking advantage of the cache of accessibility tree nodes maintained by the AT-SPI service. Table processing has received particular attention, and fundamental changes are underway in the code that handles users' keystrokes, some of which need to be interpreted as screen reader commands, with the remainder being passed through to the application.
I have been testing some of the changes along the way, as have other users active on the Orca mailing list. Rapid and precise bug reports continue to contribute to the development process. At this point, it is reasonable to expect these valuable improvements to appear in a release during the first half of 2024, presumably as part of GNOME 46.

[teaser] Gameeky: A new learning tool to develop STEAM skills
Last week I finished my fake/example/reference linux #UnifiedPush distributor written in rust.
This week I started at looking into implementing a distributor with ntfy.sh, I am currently unsure about integrating into an existing app like Notify or building a separate application.
You can find my progress here: gitlab.com/j0dev/rust/up_ntfy_…
I am also looking into a DBus api to manage/configure a distributor for integration into desktop environments like #Gnome / #Phosh.

So I've been working with GTK4/Libadwaita in Python (in Flatpak), and I'm trying to get notifications to work.
I keep getting this error: "gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-io-error-quark: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: Timeout was reached (24)"
Am I missing Flatpak overrides? (Docs seem to say no docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/por… )
Am I doing this wrong? (Code at github.com/TheKrafter/Grouping… )

That's why we're very fortunate that #gnome recently got funding from the #SovereignTechFund. One of the sponsored projects is to implement GL robustness in #gnomeshell / Mutter, so if the driver stumbles when trying to import some unusual buffer you won't lose your session.
We're now working on filling the remaining gaps so this can become an actual reality on the #gnome (and generally #linux / #fdo / #gnu) desktop. And what can I say - things actually work out quite nicely! While on modern Intel or AMD systems the effect is mostly about lower resource consumption, on some low-end hardware there are visible differences on what you can play fluently.
Regarding the future of video playback in #gnome I'd like to add some more context around current developments in #gnomeshell, #gtk4 and #Wayland in a short 🧵
TL;DR: by making use of more modern hardware features we're finally in the position to catch up to other platforms with regards to energy efficiency. So let's do it!

Thank you for sharing your plans. I'm glad that #GNOME now has the resources to update its accessibility stack to fully support Wayland. I'm optimistic that this will be ready in time.
Good job. I just tried the #Flatpak version on the #PostmarketOS phone with #Gnome shell and it works nicely.
