You can now use @pipewire camera support in the latest Firefox release. It's still not enabled by default and there might be still some issues. That's why I wrote a post about how to use it and debug issues you might encounter: https://jgrulich.cz/2024/01/30/how-to-use-pipewire-camera-in-firefox/. Happy testing!
Works great on @openSUSE Aeon and Firefox from a flathub including a camera indicator in Gnome. Not sure why I see 4 cameras over libcamera/pipewire, but fortunately the first one have worked.
I think that having a link looking like a button is the worst problem here. The text shall offer visiting the MS account first.
The link itself should be a second option and look like an actual link instead of a button. Maybe it can urge the user to verify the link before visiting it.
I want to make my blog: https://preslav.me more Fediverse-friendly. I was thinking, adding some more options for interacting with readers, other than simply dumping my RSS feed onto my Mastodon profile.
My blog is a statically-generated Hugo site, hosted on Netlify. I am able to add some backend functionality via Netlifyโs lambda functions.
Narrator's voice: Writing this involved searching the web for syntax. Using a ๐ฆ #playground a lot. And understanding the lifetimes in the code was not without its merit.
This new Slack redesign is great if you hate screen space, clarity, contrast, ease of use, information hierarchy, messages, channels, and communication
Yesterday night I've been hacking on #grub and I wonder if I should bother with sending my changes upstream.
What tends to dissuade me from doing it is that most distros carry dozens of out-of-tree-patches, suggesting they weren't accepted (yet?). On top of it my changes touch memdisk functionality which is largely undocumented.
Now that I'm re-reading this it really feels like #FOSS at its finest.
I'm giving at talk at GopherconAU (Sydney) in a few weeks, about what we got right and what we got wrong. I have lots to consider but admit I might be solipsistic on this topic.
So I'm open to outside ahead-of-time input, provided it can be given politely.
@robpike good: easy to use language, great and fast tooling (go vet, gofmt, gopls, ...), backward compatibility, static binaries. Plus I like the constant and steady evolution of those.
Bad: difference between nil vs empty slice and map. I understand the dislike for an implicit allocations. Still don't like that the assigment to nil map panics.
The feature in #Mastodon 4.2 I was waiting for the most is #ExclusiveLists.
Now I can follow high-volume accounts such as reporting from Ukraine and not have my home feed flooded with it. ๐
@ebassi this is exactly why I used Rust when writing a command not found handler for openSUSE ๐. Took me way more time than C would. But not having to deal with any C build system was worth of the effort for me.
if you use Linux on your personal computer: what do you like about it?
I used to be super into customizing my window manager, but now I mostly like that it's so easy to install software, and that the environment is the same as on a Linux server
(please no arguing about whether people "should" use Linux on their personal computers, I'm just curious about why you personally like it)
@jwildeboer as a former packager I am shocked how many people cares about src.rpm nowadays. The worst format any hacker wants to touch. #sarcasmbutonlyhalf
I am sad seeing such level of a vitriol here on Mastodon toward RedHat. I think its a great company with a huge positive impact for OSS.
So yes, I watched the new Avatar water movie on Disney+. I didn't have much expectations. But it turned out to be even more bland than I feared. Time wasted, IMHO. What do you think?
