Whenever #Blender makes a new release, reading the release notes is like opening a Christmas present as a kid. Watching BlenderHeads relaxes me and warms my heart.
Whenever #GNOME makes a new release/twig, I get inspired and motivated that someday I could be good enough to contribute to it or it's ecosystem regularly.
These two #FOSS projects fill me with genuine excitement regularly and I couldn't be more grateful.
A warm thank you to everyone that spent time on these awesome projects

Dear #Linux friends,
I'm working on my #GUADEC talk and I have a note (I think from talking to @cassidy ) about:
"A new approach to systray by #Gnome"
But I'm having a hard time finding much (other than it is a very old and rather contentious topic) *Is* there a new version of systray and has anything been written up about it?

Really glad we finally get DRM lease (thus VR) on gnome wayland

Popular opinion seems to be that #GNOME and #KDE are "fighting/competing."
Sure we have our differences in philosophies and design, but it's way more akin to siblings having small spats. But in the end we are siblings in #FOSS family and I like GNOME folks a lot. And if anyone attacks my siblings, I'm there to defend them.
We can and we should work together as much as possible, not just GNOME or KDE but all other DE's too like #Budgie and #XFCE to be the best computing experience possible.
It's not perfect and it's never gonna be because perfection is unattainable, but perfect is also enemy of good.
Let's keep doing our best. Together.
Edit: happy pride! And trans rights are human rights.
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.

I am unfollowing @aral@mastodon.ar.al. No matter my disagreements with GNOME folks in the past, COSMIC and GNOME are going to end up with the same accessibility backend, @accesskit, developed by the amazing @matt@toot.cafe.Fosstodon
Awesome presentation about enhancing Linux accessibility by Lukáš Tyrychtr (@tyrylu) and Vojtěch Polášek! I found the screencast in the presentation to be especially insightful.

Looking forward to work with you again next year and ship this!
Thank you @sovtechfund ❤️

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!

Seems like there is some interest in having a local #GNOME meetup in #Oslo 🇳🇴, where I live. Not a hackfest or anything Berlin-level (yet), just an informal meeting in an easily accessible place, for both contributors and anyone else who is interested and happens to live nearby.
Does anybody here have any previous experience with this? What is it like? What is there to talk about? What kinds of venues are best suited? Any other useful pieces of advice? I could go on and on… 😂
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.)

Gradience, the popular theming app with over 1.3k stars on GitHub, is looking for a maintainer!

The current maintainer has been inactive for quite some time. In February, after half a year of inactivity, they announced that they were working on Gradience again, but no progress has been made since then.

Made good progress this weekend on #IconBear , my upcoming open-source icon manager for Linux.
* Install pre-packaged icon sets to quickly start building your library.
* Icons are automatically categorised as "Outline", "Filled", "Duotone" or "Color" when you import them.
* Icons are loaded asynchronously, for improved performance.
Once work on importing, deleting and filtering sets is finished, I'll be looking to release the app 🙌
It's nice seeing the work on accent colors progress after having a short meeting, it really goes to show that getting together and ironing out some issues is very worthwhile. 🐈⬛
