Adwaita is really pretty freaking great. It makes designing responsive apps just… easy?? Here’s an update to Butler, my Home Assistant app, for GNOME 47 and Adwaita 1.6.

Update coming soon to Flathub!

Annnnd the air quality monitoring array has been deployed at #MatrixConf! Can you guess which room the BarCamp is starting in? 😂

Tomorrow will be the real test of the venue's ventilation, as we're expecting about 4x the attendees that we have today.

We take the #HealthAndSafety of our community seriously and are requiring masks indoors this year. The data we collect will help us calibrate our approach with this venue when we return!

The Fedora Linux 41 Beta is here!

As exciting as the new features are, please remember that this is primarily for testing. Help us make this release as smooth as possible by directing your feedback to the Fedora Quality Team (info in the article).

Please also help to circulate this in the accessibility community as we want to catch any bugs related to their needs as soon as possible.

Happy testing!

GNOME 47 (codename “Denver”) is out today! I’ll be celebrating by upgrading my desktop to Fedora Silverblue 41 beta.

My favorite feature is definitely Accent Colors, but there is a lot of refinement and polish in this one. Check it out:

Linus Torvalds: Rust will go into Linux 6.1

At the Kernel Maintainers Summit, the question wasn't, "Would Rust make it into Linux?" Instead, it was, "What to do about its compilers?"

The Rust in Linux debate is over. The implementation has begun. In an email conversation, Linux's creator @torvalds told, "Unless something odd happens, it [Rust] will make it into 6.1."

Upscaler version 1.3.0 was just released! The release is pretty large and includes some nice features and visual improvements:

- Introduce queue system to allow users to upscale images right after the other
- Add branding colors
- Port to latest Adwaita widgets
- Allow dropping remote images
- Allow pasting images from clipboard
- Make window draggable from anywhere
- Delete temporary file when unused
- Switch to Upscayl-NCNN from Real-ESRGAN ncnn Vulkan
- Update and rework translation
- Add Bulgarian translation

Unfortunately, I completely forgot that the GNOME 47 runtime isn't released yet. The update will be available later once the GNOME 47 runtime is out. If you want to try it out, you can build it from source (roughly a few minutes) using GNOME Builder: gitlab.gnome.org/World/Upscale…

The attached picture can be improved, a bit outdated.

For chat, Matrix and XMPP clients (e.g Element and Monal) can be used.

Libre Translate can replace Google Translate.

2FAS Auth is a nice project for OTP codes.

Strongbox is nice to store passwords.

PeerTube is a real YouTube alternative instead of YouTube facades.

And Yandex is an efficient search engine.

It's a Monday morning, we're sipping coffee and listening to jazz, and thinking about productivity and Thunderbird Add-ons!

We'd love to know what Add-ons help you get things done for our next productivity blog coming next week. (Also, I'll probably install all of them. You know, for research! - Monica) We love seeing your productivity tips and tricks, and we know you've got some great suggestions. So start your week off right and let us know!

Pro tip for @gnome newcomer contributors: you can subscribe to specific labels/tags for newcomer-specific email notifications in a project.
If you go to gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c… for example, you can subscribe to be notified each time I tag a GNOME Calendar issue as newcomers-friendly (in terms of implementation difficulty).

You can of course also click those labels anywhere you see them in GitLab to see a list of issues filtered with that label.

Black & White from Lionhead Studios released originally back in 2001 went on to great reviews, and won various awards. Sadly, it's one game that has also been lost to time but the openblack project plans to revive it with open source.

Just found the rudest possible way to interact with an open source project:

1. open an issue
2. put only a link to a commit in a fork hosted somewhere else in the issue description
3. refuse to elaborate

Don't do this. Ever.

Oh, thank goodness not having a fully functional screen reader isn’t a blocker for Fedora 41. We wouldn’t want them to miss their 10th anniversary of shipping an operating system without a fully functional screen reader, after all.

Zase se nechala slyšet moje milá paní účetní, že bankovní výpisy v událostech #AbraFlexi jsou sice fayn, ale je to málo. Chce tam všechno ...

Oficiálně tedy vyhlašuji nový projekt abraflexi-isds pro synchronizaci datové schránky s událostmi v AbraFlexi.

Termín realizace zatím není určen ale velmi jej může také ovlivnit váš názor v komentářích.

Aplikace bude jak je mým dobrým zvykem zdarma a #OpenSource.
