Like it or not, most of our brains are wired to use decimal, and they struggle converting numbers to other bases. The Binary app lets you convert your base 10 number to binary, and your hexadecimal back to decimal, whatever conversion you require. It even tells you how many bits are required to store the value you give it, and their associated magnitude!

Just bought a #DELL 3190 laptop, new for $150 (11.6" screen, 64GB eMMC). It's fully supported on #Linux, and even if it has a Celeron N4120 CPU and only 4 GB of RAM, it'll work fine with #Mint, or #XFCE (and #Gnome/ #KDE if you don't mind some minor lag). Not opening too many browser tabs will ensure that the swap file won't get used too often.
If you're on a tight budget this is a good option, as it also has great battery life too at 10 hours with Linux.

Just How Much Faster Are the GNOME 46 Terminals? | Ivan Molodetskikh’s Webpage
I use a hardware latency tester to measure how much the VTE-based terminals improved from GNOME 45 to GNOME 46.bxt.rs

Having trouble with a GtkGridList. Looking for help.
I've replaced a GtkFlowBox with a GtkGridList to improve performance. However, the GridList is breaking the layout.
The height of every child of the GridList expands to beyond the edges of the window (screenshot 1), unless it’s the *direct descendent* of a GtkScrolledWindow (screenshot 2). In the second case, the grid renders as expected but I can't put the header in.
Does anyone know a way around this? (Code below)
Sometimes your desktop just gets a little boring and when that happens, let Damask refresh it. The app can automatically cycle through your wallpapers and can even find you some new ones. It give you the option to pull from various sources, like Bing and Wallhaven's collection of backgrounds. With Damask, you can always have a new backdrop to your digital life!

More progress made!
The WIP icon manager app now renders SVG icons as vector drawings, so they don't get pixellated and appear extra crisp on HiDPi displays.
The search bar is also now visible in the header bar for quick access. It now filters the icons in the currently selected list.
For every day that I've sat down to work on this app, I've managed to solve a problem that seemed insurmountable the day before.
The app now copies icons to your clipboard, ready to paste into design software! It can paste icons both as SVG data (which Inkscape supports) and as a temporary file (which Figma and file managers support).
It also loads icon sets that are bundled with the app and has an overview of all the sets installed.
had a lazy easter monday getting the touchscreen working on the #OnePlus 8T
here it is at 120hz running #postmarketOS #GNOME mobile!
the high refresh and 2 years newer hardware definitely makes for a smoother experience overall.
Are you experienced with GTK and Rust ?

We are looking to contract someone to work on the new GNOME Password Manager 🔑
We want it to become a core/default app and help secure millions of users.
You'll be working with the GNOME Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to building emancipatory technologies for everyone.

What I really like about #GNOME46 is that it turned out to be a great release for old and low-end devices. One of my test devices is Thinkpad T400. That hardware is over 15 years old and actually got faster over the last few years - especially this release.
One of my favorite improvements here, headed by Christian Hergert, was the boost to VTE. Terminals using #gtk4 are now much faster and responsive. I mean, damn, even switching tabs doesn't trigger a full redraw!

GNOME’s social hour event
Hello everyone! I am excited to to let you know that we will be reviving GNOME’s social hour event! The first one will be held on 25th March. The purpose of this social hour is to bring together the GNOME community.GNOME Discourse
So I upgraded to #Gnome 46 on my #ArchLinux. 
What a surprise. For several last gnome releases they were waiting for bugfixed x.1 version and now we have it a few days after the release. We got it even sooner than Flathub. 🏆
As the #DashToPanel extension is not ported yet I am forced to "enjoy" the pure gnome experience. Does anybody use it in this raw form? 🤨

I've seen a few app maintainers lately mentioning that bleeding edge libraries are required and that distro X in version Y isn't supported.
This is why you should have a Flatpak manifest in your repository; not just on Flathub.
It lets contributors easily build and test the development version without having to worry about the host.
Upgrading or downgrading your OS shouldn't stop anyone from working on your app.
Not only to reduce carbon emissions and save developers in central Europe from having to fly to the US for the @gnome #GUADEC this summer, we organize a "Mini Guadec" in #Berlin and now found a venue in the #Regenbogenfabrik including its own hostel:
