Je teste un peu sur un coup de tête Gnome Web (aka "Safari on Linux" tmtc… Ou #Epiphany sinon) et franchement je suis réellement agréablement surprise par comment le bousin fonctionne bien ces derniers temps. La dernière version en date tourne pépère sur mon portable, rend les pages correctement tout en se payant le luxe de permettre une navigation fluide. Franchement c'est cool à utiliser.
Et les petites animations de glissement quand on avance ou recule dans l'historique (la gesture 2 doigts vers la gauche et droite) est… Mouah 😩🤌
Même la navigation sur Sharkey sur une autre instance du Fédi se fait correctement alors qu'en terme d'UI tous les forks de Misskey (compris) sont d'effroyables usines à gaz. C'est moins fluide que sur Firefox mais c'est plus qu'encourageant sachant que dans un passé vraiment pas lointain Epiphany c'était… encore assez compliqué, à l'utilisation.
Je n'aime juste pas le scrolling inertiel tel qu'il fonctionne actuellement sur WebkitGTK parce qu'il est incroyablement capricieux (et fait tâche par rapport au reste des applications GTK3 et 4 qui n'ont pas ce problème)
Il ne manque plus que le support des extensions de Firefox :blob_cat:
Anyone with recent experience with #GnomeWeb / #Epiphany browser? Is it any good for someone who doesn't want to get lost in technical stuff? And maybe isn't all that bright to start with?
@Nezchan@nekohayo WebKitGTK has improved the media playback handling to be more efficient. However, Nvidia drivers don't support this new output format yet. An Nvidia developer has indicated that the format may be supported in driver version 550

Oh of course nVidia, why didn't I think of that 🤦️
You wouldn't believe the amount of issues we see related to such hardware across the freedesktop middleware. There's a reason I got rid of all nVidia hardware in 2008-2010 (when AMD started making open drivers to compete with Intel) and since then refuse to touch any machine with those GPUs. #nVidia on #Linux is pain incarnate if you want things to "Just Work" as a user without specialized needs.

Today is the #Epiphany, the end of the #TwelveDaysOfChristmas.¹
In #Ireland, though, this day is also known as Nollaig na mBan, a.k.a. Little Christmas.²
It is hard to find a root of this tradition, but it is a feast dedicate to #women: they take a break from all the work of the past days, and they can celebrate as they wish. 🎉
Beware of other traditions, though, as removing all the Christmas tree decorations before the end of the day, or there will be bad luck! 🚫🍀
But don't forget to keep the #Christmas holly! It is good to use it for the fire to cook pancake on Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras³, the day before #Lent!
Infuse your Christmas holidays with some paganism: Italian folklore is here to help.
Originated in Rome, the Befana is a witch that brings sweets and candy to good children in the night between Jan 5 and Jan 6.
You can reward her by living some lentils and wine (she really loves wine).
Beware if you've been bad. In recent times she will fill your socks with coal, but there are some darker story out there. #Befana#epiphany#folklore#Italy
@alx the continuation of pagan traditions and how they have infused into Christian rituals is a really interesting part of humanity. I’ve been listening to this fantastic book that really digs into it, and what actually constitutes “wine”

I live on the Oregon coast, where winters can be long, dark, and wet. For years, businesses would put up lights on their storefronts and buildings and many left them up until spring, which I found quite comforting. This year, not as much decorating going on it seems, business or home, which is disappointing.

I hadn't noticed as much here in the UK as in previous years. With electric lights the cost of living crisis and energy price rises may well have had something to do with that.
I've been considering my relationship with my phone recently. I'm not on it all the time but I think I rely on it for distraction when I'm bored.
Today I took Kid4 to the dentist and when I got there, the waiting room was full. Eight other people plus Kid4 and me. I got a message from a friend when we got there and I typed a response, then put my phone away and talked to Kid4, because he doesn't have a phone and I thought well, it's a bit rude to sit there on mine and ignore him.
I looked around and every other person in the waiting room was looking at their phone.
Obviously I understand the desire to do that! But out of those eight, there were two families: two parents with two kids each. All looking at phones.
It felt... a bit weird to notice that. Like in a book or film where the characters realise that something strange is going on and the whole world is in the clutches of the aliens or whatever.
I feel as though there's opportunities for connection that are being missed, and I have decided I don't want to miss them anymore.
@ottaross Absolutely it can. And if Kid4 had had a phone, I probably wouldn't have thought anything of both of us sitting there, scrolling, side by side, not talking to each other. Which I realise I don't want to do anymore.
I had to wait almost 90 minutes at the GP a few weeks ago (I was on my own) and if I'd not had my phone, I would have been bored out of my mind.
Restarting your apps while the network is offline makes you realize some things are silly… like needing to click the Reload button in #web#browsers' error pages, when they very well know when the operating system is fully back online anyway.
Therefore, I filed a request for #GNOMEWeb / #Epiphany to do that for me when #GNOME / #NetworkManager signals that online connectivity has been restored: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2230
@cassidy@topher Yup, that's why from the get go I mentioned exceptions for metered, captive & LAN in the ticket's 3rd paragraph, and tagged it "Initiative: Metered data". Basically only do the auto-retry when the runway is clear. In my view, NetworkManager would withhold any auto-loading when on inconsistent or limited networks, and beyond that Epiphany will refuse to connect to invalid HTTPS anyway, so seems safe to me.
I definitely missed something, I just installed #Epiphany and it's very much usable on my #Pinephone by now. Even after they got hardware acceleration the app was barely usable and now it seems to be very smooth for any app on that device, especially a web browser! It's still not the fastest but I might switch to it as my main browser or at the very least as secondary one behind #Angelfish because I prefer the interface! Dose anyone know what happened exactly? #Gnome#Linuxphone
@linmob I didn't manage to disable it entirely but I found a solution I am happy with. If you go to /sys/class/leds there are four folders for the different LED colors, in those folders are different files and one of them is called "repeat", if you simply set that in the blue folder to 1 instead of -1 the LED will only blink a single time!
