I finally published my app to Flathub!
Echo is a GUI ping utility. Give it a try, but go easy on me as it's my first real project :))
It's pride month ... again! July is disability pride month ♿

Bonjour! Sziasztok! 안녕! I've released version 2.0 of Keypunch, the modern typing trainer for GNOME. Get ready to practice typing in many new languages!
• Text generation support for Bulgarian, Hindi, Korean, Nepali, Russian, Swiss German, and Ukranian
• More accepted ways to type certain characters, such as “oe” for “œ”
• Better handling of scripts using intelligent input engines, like Korean Hangul
…and more!
Get it on Flathub: flathub.org/apps/dev.bragefugl…

There's been recently some confusion in #postmarketOS as GNOME Software is still on version 45. The main reason is that the simple plugin: github.com/Cogitri/gnome-softw… we use for APK has not been updated to follow GNOME Software's library changes. If anybody is interested in helping with maintenance for that project, I can provide guidance and reviews, and we will all be very pleased!

@antoniof has been doing some fantastic work on the new Nautilus file chooser. We're finally getting to a point where we'll be shipping a usable adaptive file chooser upstream.
(NOTE: this is still not merged, and I'm showcasing the current state of the WIP branches)
Ticked off a few more to-do items for my upcoming icon manager app!
- When importing a folder of icons it now scans sub-directories too. It can handle icons with the same name but in different folders, and it looks for keywords in folders and filenames like "solid" or "duotone" to detect the icon style.
- You can filter by icon style
- Flip a coin. If it's heads, you can delete a set without the app crashing. (I got tails)

Some GNOME websites are getting modernized and simplified, but Planet GNOME has fallen behind. Not anymore. I started a prototype for a Python script to publish Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI.
As Planet GNOME Editor, I am often asked to look for blog and syndication issues I couldn’t really address due to limited server-side access. With this, debugging indexing issues should be easier as it is just about looking at the CI job output.
Also, the Planet website is perceived as messy and outdated. So this work allowed Jakub Steiner to quickly jump in and restyle the page from a clean state.
Try it live at felipeborges.pages.gitlab.gnom… and let me know what you think. Keep in mind this is a proof of concept. Tips, feedback, and contributions are welcome in the project repo.
This still doesn’t produce the global Planet rss feed, just the webpage, but that’s in my TODO list too.
P.S.: I know feed readers/parsers can over-request rss/atom feeds. So I plan to cache data and use metadata to avoid redundant downloads before this is even considered as a replacement for the current Planet implementation. No worries. 😉
Resources 1.5 has landed on Flathub yesterday with battery monitoring along with other bug fixes and improvements! 🥳
Check it out! :)
The state of Unix/Linux accessibility is even worse then I feared 🙈 . Fedora has been shipping with a broken screen reader for NINE YEARS?
Orca doesn't work on any distribution that ships with Wayland by default? 😭 (thanks @aral for bringing it my attention)
Do all the distributions and such know that next year they should be accessible?
I can't code and I am not familiar with testing desktop apps, but I would really like to know how I can help to fix this.
(allthough it shows a bigger problem in open source and it's culture)

Luckily the Newton Project should fix this blogs.gnome.org/a11y/2024/06/1…, but still: it shows accessiiblity is often an afterthought.

For eight years Fedora has been shipping GNOME with a broken screen reader!
EIGHT YEARS!
(Wayland has been default on Fedora for eight years – since Fedora 25, released in 2016.)
And a hundred-billion-dollar corporation like IBM ships operating systems today based on it with a broken screen reader.
What is an ableist culture? One in which the people who call this out get ostracised.

One more demo of GTK autocomplete in Workbench
I'm very happy so far with the experience, checkout the video.
I love that the same feature can be used to discover widgets, properties and write UI faster.
There are still many improvements to be made, but I think it's close to a first release.
You can try it yourself in Workbench nightly blog.sonny.re/workbench-news
Feedback very welcome
Credits to @flyingpimonster for making this possible!

As a user, I remember the era between 2015 and 2020 where GNOME Shell's video screen recorder was *literally unusable* because the VP9 encoder could never keep up and would lock up your computer by filling up the RAM within a minute. I'm not making things up; this commit proves it: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s…
So, *very much* a technical limitation.
I would have appreciated if you had simply asked politely to begin with, & assumed good faith, rather than immediately publicly smearing #GNOME

FFS, GNOME! Just wasted a day of editing video because the built-in screen recorder records screencasts at such a low quality that I ended up with keyframe artefacts / ghosting in my captures.
Bloody hell…
And is there any way to set the quality? Is there ever!
[Edit] Use OBS. (Thanks everyone in the replies.)
(Don’t use GNOME’s built-in screen recorder if you’re posting HD+ videos.)
