Chromium now has initial, experimental support for the xdg-session-management #wayland protocol, which will start shipping in canary channel in the coming days. I've implemented and tested it against Mutter 48, the only compositor supporting it atm - also experimentally - since version 47.

Quick demo at youtu.be/OG9ZLXzlwkQ

New in GNOME 48 is the necessary support for keyboard handling by the Orca screen reader in Wayland sessions. As I reported on the Orca mailing list recently, I have updated my system, and this support is so far working as intended. You need Mutter 48 and the latest AT-SPI installed.

Thanks are owed to the software developers responsible for this work.

How to Be a (Real) Linux User: The Ultimate Guide!


Ready to become a real Linux user? In this video, I break down the funniest and most stereotypical traits of a Linux enthusiast – from growing a beard to minimizing RAM usage (even when you have 32GB!). Whether you’re a Linux newbie or a veteran, this guide will have you laughing at the quirks of the Linux community.

(I may or may not be guilty of all of the mentioned traits)

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.

@mastoblind Any blind folks have experience with Linux desktop environments? I have thoroughly enjoyed Bash over SSH for many years. I want to switch away from Windows entirely, but my experience with screen reader accessibility on Linux desktops has been mixed at best. Any tips or advice? Has the situation improved substantially? Is one desktop environment better than others for blind users?

@maple #ArcaneChat is an android client for #DeltaChat, and Delta Chat is available for #iOS, #Windows, #Linux etc.

and now that you talk about young people, in several places people are not even allowed to get a SIM card at all until certain age, so apps like Signal that depend on phone numbers are a non-go, while I have seen several people using DeltaChat with their children, ex:

Fun fact: if my process and math is correct, Flathub is down to <5% of apps being built from other packaging formats as extra-data sources.

Thanks to @wjt's blog post¹ for pointing me in the right direction and gasinvein’s Flatpak Remote Metadata Fetcher² for the handy tool.

I decided to update my desktop a bit, but still using the Materia Dark theme. This version should look much more like a Windows-style desktop, just with Material Design based elements. #Linux #Mate #desktop Themes #Materia #MaterialDesign #screenshots


wtf is up with Flathub calling X11 "legacy windowing system" and marking apps with X11 support as "unsafe".

I know GNOME likes role-playing as the sole owners of the Linux ecosystem, but it's not a good look to push their opinions on an otherwise neutral marketplace.

Ever wonder how we help keep millions of users safe while delivering thousands of apps and their updates?

We’ve written up a bit about the journey an app takes behind the scenes from its source code all the way to running on your device—with all of the safety nets along the way. 🔒

Doing a test post from Tuba. Turns out if I want GTK4 apps like this to behave themselves, I need to have the computer hooked up to a monitor of some type. In this case, it's the TV in the living room, since it's the only decent display in the house. Just a bit annoyed that the old blind nerd trick of going without a monitor because Orca gives me speech won't cut it for GTK4 apps. #A11Y #Accessibility #Blind #Linux #Orca #tuba

After years of hard work, countless reviews, and tons of community testing, we're happy to share that dynamic buffering has landed in Mutter for GNOME 48!

This improves the smoothness of GNOME across a wide range of hardware and software setups.

Thanks to everyone involved in this collaboration! Special thanks to author Daniel van Vugt from Canonical and reviewers Jonas Ådahl and Michel Dänzer from Red Hat.

Happy I Love Free Software Day! 💕

Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.

Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.

This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.

Without further ado, THANK YOU to:

  • @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
  • @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
  • @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
  • @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
  • @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
  • #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
  • #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
  • @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
  • #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
  • @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
  • @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
  • #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
  • #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
  • @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
  • @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
  • @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
  • @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
  • #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
  • @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
  • #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
  • @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
  • @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
  • #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
  • #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
  • @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
  • @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
  • @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
  • The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!

Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.

I am super sorry if I forgot someone!
