It always kinda scares me when I read certain comments. They’re not numerous, but I see more of them each year. They say things like « the woke EU », or the « EUssr », or « socialist EU ».

They’re generally there when I talk about the EU regulating big tech, or fighting abuses of dominant position, and I just don’t understand how anyone can link that kind of activity to being « woke » whatever that means today, or being « socialist » (which in these people’s minds probably means « commie »).

A new minor version of Letterpress is out, version 2.1!

• The app now uses the GNOME 46 runtime, and widgets have been updated accordingly (mainly dialogs look better now).
• Images can now be pasted from the clipboard
• The app was translated to Simplified Chinese.

@FineFindus has joined the project, so I'm no longer the only maintainer! 🎉 Thank you so much!

You can get the new release on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/io.gitlab.gregorni.Letterpress

Please don't provide an option in your app to switch between light and dark mode. No one wants that. Just use the system preference, there's a reason it's a system preference.

Developers of #GTK4 + #libadwaita apps: reply with the repo links of project you're currently working on, but haven't released.

The Blueprint formatter was merged! 🎉️ I hope it'll trickle down to GNOME Builder and Workbench soon, because then you'll never have to deal with whitespace again when editing .blp files!

A Blueprint file open in one window, a terminal in another, side-by-side. I screw up the Blueprint file by adding newlines, spaces and tabs, then run
Again, a Blueprint file and a terminal window next to each other. The Blueprint file is missing all whitespace, newlines and indentation. I run the formatter like before, and all the whitespace is inserted properly.

If you think of your abandoned hobby projects, what was your best idea? Do you wish to see something similar created by someone else?

Let me introduce you to Muri. He's a cat of our neighbor's, but he came over to our house yesterday for a nap on the chair. I had trouble getting rid of him when it was time for him to leave, I eventually had to put the chair outside.😄

Muri is really curious, brave, and stubborn. Also, he regularly beats up other cats in the neighborhood.

I learned about this cool #GNOME feature today, and I thought I'd share it with those who don't know about it yet:

You can, in any app window, press Ctrl+Shift+i to open the #Inspector, a little window for getting #debug and version information, logs, tree views of the UI template, per-widget property information, a text field for adding custom CSS, and a whole bunch more useful stuff!

What do you say to whitespace-sensitive/oriented programming languages, assuming your IDE supports the whitespace-behaviour really well, and all the tooling around it is generally good?

I contributed to GNOME Shell! It's just a one-liner, but still, it's a contribution!

I added touchpad gestures so you can now change workspaces not just with a 3-finger swipe, but also a 4-finger swipe (or any amount of fingers larger than that, if you're feeling really adventurous).

Homebrew is now installed for you with the latest images of Bluefin, Aurora, and Bazzite. We don't have to strongly recommend installing it anymore because it's right there!

Homebrew is a great package manager especially for CLI apps. Give it a whirl if you haven't already.

When a programming language's website says it's a "general-purpose language", I already kind of want to not use it, because it probably won't offer anything that I can't get in another language.

I'd like to see a world where every language serves exactly one area of programming, and is highly specialized for that area.

I'm now officially deprecating Calligraphy (Couldn't do it yet, but should happen in the next few days). I don't consider it worth maintaining anymore.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to it, and to @omglinux for publishing an article on it the day after its release!

Thanks for your review of Mingle

What the Linux ecosystem needs right now is a solid community-maintained distribution for non-technical people.

Like, if someone who's using Windows asks me right now "which Linux can I use on my laptop", I have no answer.

My partner tried Fedora, but it was so unstable and broken all over the place that she asked me to get rid of it, even if it mean starting from scratch again.

She now uses PopOS and I've had to configure dozens of things for her that would have been trivial on Windows 7.
