Disappointed to see pages given to in-person events and financial reporting in the latest GNOME Foundation report, but not a single mention of environmental reporting or the work multiple people have done to allow remote participation in GNOME events.
This stuff is important. We cannot keep doing business as usual and ignoring the emissions elephant in the room.
Why is it so hard in #Ubuntu and with #Gnome to show thumbnails of the screenshots I made, so I know which image to select without painstakingly opening them one by one from separate file window?
There's many images in my screenshot dir, all having thumbnails, except those created in the last 5 days. Why no thumbnails here? Why?
Matrix certrainly has its rough edges, but I find it awesome that pretty much every major Linux community now has their dedicated space. All federated, of course.
I see phoronix has posted some article about #GNOME Foundation finances and the usual haters are out mocking our ED, and just generally be repellent as humans.
The GF's job is to spend money and if we're spending it on infrastructure and conferences - that is exactly what they should be doing. But what's good is that GF funds were up in 2023 - so we're actually gaining more funds even though our expenditure is about the same. Good stuff.
I have a huge amount of appreciation for the fact that Nautilus / #GNOMEFiles can seamlessly pattern-select, batch-rename and move files both from its treeview and from search results… all with keyboard shortcuts! Extremely useful to clean up filenames.
Today, in someone else's messy folders, I was able to cleanly rename everything and eliminate at least 40 duplicates in a directory that contained over 180 files, most of which were in the wrong locations.
Shoutout to Fina Wilke's Warp! Such a nice, self-contained way to just send stuff between devices. Works like a charm for both my 5GB music folder and that Markdown document I wanted to bring with me on my laptop to do some editing while away from my room. Take it for a spin and experience the magic for yourself!
On #Debian 11, the whole system along with #XFce was taking 500 MB of RAM. On Debian 12, the system takes 850 MB of RAM. On Trixie/Sid-unstable, it takes 1.3 GB. I honestly don't know what they're shoving in it.
With #Cinnamon and #Gnome, it takes 1.6 GB on idle. Since when Cinnamon, a gnome2/gtk3 fork takes (or should take) as much RAM as Gnome4/gtk4? Something's amiss.
je mets pas la main sur la config qui permet de mettre un onglet du #gnome terminal en evidence quand de l'#activité se produit.
Par defaut, la couleur de l'onglet #tab ne bouge pas, qu'il y ait de l'activité ou pas.
Un peu chiant pour suivre si un script a fini ou pas tout en faisant autre chose sur un autre onglet
The performance improvement in the #GNOME Files app is fantastic (particularly, opening a directory with many entries is almost instant now). Thanks to whoever fixed that 🙏
Update regarding my font problem in Nautilus: It occurs only if the Nautilus window is on my 4k screen. If it's on the 1080p screen, font rendering is fine.
Nautilus bug? 😩
It happens no matter if I use Sway or Gnome Shell (both Wayland).
Please, for the love of all that is good and holy in this world, do something about your rounded corners. Just choose a radius and make them all the same. Instead, you have some that are just square. some that have one radius and some that have another.
Quite enjoying Ubuntu Budgie. Seems to be a little lighter than stock Ubuntu and with fewer issues? I don't know. I did a full install instead of upgrading in place. Luckily the laptop doesn't hold a lot of files.
I have settled in nicely to Plasma for my work machine. The project has matured a LOT in the last couple of years, and I can't help but shake my imaginary rhetorical pom-poms at their success.
On my home machine, it's almost always tiling window managers. I just love the clean, pseudo sci-fi look and incredible efficiency.
»Since we're talking about icon theming, I recently stumbled upon this gitlab issue. Apparently they now want to remove icon theming support in #GTK 5. The way the GTK devs started the description really infuriated me: "i. themes are no longer a thing". Really? Who said that? Since when "i. themes are no longer a thing" became a consensus in the Linux desktop space? It seems like you just made up this claim and posted it as undeniable truth for you own comfort.«
@matzipan This is the typical baffling arrogant #GNOME mindset: We want to dictate the theming and everyone else is WRONGWRONGWRONG!!!1
Your themes not being #FDO compatible makes the programs using them look alien on other desktops. But GNOME just doesn’t care. KDE does! And the other way around too!
And what about people with sensory issues who cannot use themes anymore? Are they a collateral damage for GNOME for a hypothetical Apple-minded issue not really existing?
@dusthillperson@thomholwerda BTW, found this new gem via the Phoronix forum: #KDE dev arguing with #GNOME folks about their arrogant icons handling which is breaking on other desktops:
GNOME: »Icon themes are not a very prominent feature in current app development […]«
LMAO
KDE: »If this breaks GNOME, it's because you folks chose to repurpose an FDO icon theme to be something it wasn't designed to be which breaks its non-GNOME consumers.«
Well I ran out of battery halfway through the hand install, so several hours of recovery later I can boot into #guix fsvo. Where are all my other bootable partitions though, and will I be able to tolerate #GNOME long enough to learn to live with it? These are the questions. Stay tuned, rat-fans.
Disappointing result in my first organic test of suspend then hibernate, lid close all day resulted in an all-day suspend, with quite a lot of power drain. 🤔
"loginctl suspend-then-hibernate"does the job perfectly though, so I'm left wondering if the desktop environment is assuming complete responsibility and overriding the base settings, or maybe my configuration spec isn't quite working... How to debug this though?
