Der #NextCloud #Desktop #Client wird beim Hochfahren doppelt gestartet?

Wahrscheinlich hab ich jetzt herausgefunden, warum das nach und nach auf einem Rechner nach dem andern der Fall ist:

Beim #upgrade auf eine neue #ubuntu Version wird der NextCloud Client deinstalliert, wahrschinlich ohne den Autostart-Eintrag zu entfernen. Nach dem upgrade muss man den Clienten manuell nachinstalliern und dabei wird möglicherweise der zweite Eintrag in "Startprogramme" zugefügt.

Vielleicht kann @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz da mal mit ubuntu reden?

Today I learned that my humble hobby project #Linux #Desktop Migration Tool is being used in a company with 600k employees to migrate to new Linux workstations.

It's amazing how far code I started writing at night to help myself can get.

Friendica: Fehlende Emoticons in der mobilen Version?

Ich nutze sowohl die Desktopversion als auch die mobile Version der Friendica Weboberfläche. Nun ist mir schon mehrere Male aufgefallen das in der mobilen Version von Friendica manche Emoticons nicht angezeigt werden. In der Desktopversion sieht es so aus:

Und in der mobilen Version so:

Ich nutze sowohl auf dem Desktop als auch mobil Firefox, daran sollte es also nicht liegen. Die URL des entsprechenden Beitrags ist hier:

Woran kann das liegen?

#GNOME Papers finally becomes a PDF viewer that can digitally sign documents and verify signatures.

The latter was implemented by Marek Kašík from our team. It was several years in the making. He originally implemented it for Evince, but Evince is pretty much dead and it's been waiting to be merged upstream for 1.5 years. When Papers were forked from Evince, Marek rewrote it in #Rust and implemented it there. It's currently under review and should be merged soon. ✌️

My family is a Linux family: both my parents and my wife use Linux, and so will the kids once they have their own computers. Apart from my Dad, they're all non-enthusiasts.

Yet, none of them use a beginner-friendly distribution. My Wife, who's by far the least technologically inclined of them all, is a very happy and satisfied NixOS user. A distribution that's the exact opposite of beginner-friendly.

How is that possible? None of them maintain their systems. I do that for them. In the past two decades, what I learned from helping friends and family with their computers is that the vast majority of non-enthusiasts have absolutely no desire to install and maintain an operating system, or even programs. They're much happier if someone else does that for them.

Therefore, while I see value in distributions aimed at beginner enthusiasts, I see very little value in distributions aimed at non-enthusiasts.

I wrote a few more words about this topic on my blog too.

I've read your reply to @WestphalDenn@social.cologne questions about working with #Gnome on #Linux. Thanx for your insights!

What interests me:
Is the #Electron#Desktop#App#Element for #Matrix#Chat accessible for #blind#users? You use it?

While #DeltaChat #Android paved the way for reactions, #iOS and #Desktop did not stand back with awe!
But ran ahead!
Adding tons more possible reactions than poor #Android that could react with 👍👎❤️😂 or 🙁 only! Mostly with 🙁 :)

Today #GNOME 46 is released and as it has been a tradition for 16 years, I wrote an article about the release for @rootcz (in Czech).

I've just pushed A/V call commands to the #CLI frontend of #Libervia. I believe that it's the only #XMPP CLI to date with calling capabilities (make and receive calls).

This complete #web and #desktop (#Kivy) implementations.

All thanks to #NLnet / #NGI Assure grant (and hard work!).

Still need some stabilisation work, hopefully will be ready for incoming release.

Frog is such a neat little Linux desktop app to extract text from images.

You can give it an image (file selector, drag & drop) or let it take a screenshot. And you can even paste an image from your clipboard!

This is great for adding alt text when posting an image or copying text (as text) from a screenshot for sharing (or adding to UI mockups, as I often do).

It also reads QR codes and supports several languages.

Remember that you can use the "Advanced Web Interface", accessible from your Mastodon account settings, for a TweetDeck-like interface on desktop!

This makes it way easier to see stuff at a glance. If it isn't your thing though, you don't need to use it.

Also note that you can adjust which columns are pinned, so if your local and federated timelines move too quickly, you can just unpin them to only see Home and Notifs, or only open them up manually when you want to see them!

Boost this so people can be made aware!

#Linux on the #desktop is becoming more #popular in my home town, but for the wrong reasons.

It's #poverty: many people have no money for a new #laptop or desktop. Their old #computers still work fine, but can't run the latest versions of #Windows.

We backup their data, install #LinuxMint, restore their data, install some extra programs, show them around and they're good to go.

Interestingly no one had problems making the switch so far. All quiet on the support front.

I guess one of the drawbacks of getting back into "Lets run Linux as a primary desktop" is realizing that yeah, the linux community is STILL full of egos that don't like being told what they should and should not do, no matter what the impact on the users.

Case in point gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s…

Short version: Gnome maintainers allow their own screenshot tool to run without restriction, but block all others.

Great fun.
