@GerryT@Hexangon@lued@gnome I'm happy to review contributions to add a new weather provider; the main issue is typically the terms of service, but for anything else, the code is pretty simple.
@ebassi Thank you. Regarding terms of service: Is this something that seems to be suitable? Here from OpenWeatherRefined: "Display weather for the current or a specified location. Fork of OpenWeather.
Weather data is provided by OpenWeatherMap.org or WeatherAPI.com.
If location is set to "My Location," which is the case by default on laptops, this extension will use location services and Nominatim (from openstreetmap.org), or infoip.io if that failed."
Is Totem (Gnome Videos) still maintained? As per https://apps.gnome.org/Totem/ latest version is 43 from 2022. Is it going to be removed from Gnome Core apps or replaced with something new?
@gloopsies I can’t speak officially for the whole of GNOME, but my understanding is that the design and release teams are investigating this. I don’t think there’s a decision yet, as different solutions all have different trade-offs—but yeah, we’re working on it. :)
@gloopsies it's definitely less active: it still needs to be ported to GTK4 and libadwaita. There are no plans for a replacement, at this moment; there are plenty of other video players, and not everyone wants to move things into GNOME's release.
I didn't turn off my laptop since my screencast demo at #GNOME46 Berlin, and realized i walked away with a piece of @cas 's display with me, forever :ablobcatbongo:
I'm slowly discovering all the nice stuff in #GNOME46 that other #gnome devs have been working on.
My personal favorite so far are the generic Cal/Card/WebDav accounts, for several reasons.
First of all, I use CalDav and CardDav extensively, both personally and at work. Especially my contacts are something that I on one side want to be available on all my devices - and on the other side really want to have control over. I.e. I only want that data on providers I trust.
On my phone - which is not yet a #linuxmobile one - I use the fabulous #davx5, while on my desktops the only real option for me was #Thunderbird
And while that is fine, trying using a Gnome Online Account suddenly showed me what I've been missing out so far, which is not only great native apps like #gnomecalendar , but also #gnomeshell integration, global search providers etc.
Until now - around two weeks - the experience has been awesome and it's definitely changing the way I use Gnome.
Another native app I find myself using more and more is #gnomemaps
Just because it started to be the most efficient way for me to look things - usually a bicycle route. I.e. its increasingly convincing me by utility, not by the additional reason of better privacy etc.
I should probably add that it actually is a clear goal of mine to use native apps more and more (again) for various reasons - one big one being that it's important for #LinuxMobile - and, well, I'd say its going great :)
Hm, #GNOME46 s new remote login option via the rdp protocoll is a huge step up from the last version. Beign able to connect without having to log in first helps me a lot...
What I really like about #GNOME46 is that it turned out to be a really good release for old and low-end devices. One of my test devices is Thinkpad T400. That hardware is over 15 years old and is has 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!
There were also a bunch of improvements to screen casting, resulting in #GNOME46 being the first release where I can make fullscreen recordings on this device at reasonable speed. I can even play video during recording, as long as hardware decoding is used (only mpeg2 :P).
