@pvagner@fedi.ml
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?

How many CPU cores (including threads ) and RAM are in your PERSONAL system? Are you happy with that? #linux #unix #desktop


Once upon ...

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 🙁 :)

... but now #DeltaChat #Android catches up, allowing all the things as well :)


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).

By popular demand, we made Vivaldi available on #FlatHub. Are you using #Flatpak? Have you downloaded @Vivaldi yet? Did you tell your friends?😀

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!

Hey, anyone at #microsoft interested in #accessibility in #windows11 on the #desktop... Windows Magnifier, in full-screen mode: goes from being clear & sharp to blurry whenever the Taskbar comes into view. More info in Microsoft Feedback Hub, here:

#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 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4895

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

Great fun.
