PSA: following the example from various other projects within GNOME (such as Loupe and libadwaita), GNOME Calendar now explicitly forbids AI-generated contributions, with the same policy: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/725

We honor the exquisite art of organic homegrown code made with care and a willingness to learn the craft, and want to protect the time of people who help review merge requests.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but it seems that when you configure a brand new #IMAP email account in @EvolutionGnome@floss.social, it sometimes does not subscribe to the main INBOX folder, which in my experience will cause all sorts of weird synchronization issues. I reported by spontaneous observation about this tonight (thanks to getting a fresh new email account as an official #LibreOffice community member): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/3261

I would offer beer/tea/Club-Mate™ to whoever implements the "Mouse Cursor A.T. Field for Qt apps" feature as a GNOME Shell extension; bonus points if you also bring back the NERV emergency lockdown screen from 15 years ago: https://youtube.com/watch?v=zR67NtGaQqs

As someone trying to keep fellow FLOSS maintainers from burning out, I believe I speak for many Free & Open-Source software folks out there when I say that this scene from John Carpenter's "The Thing" (1982) reflects the current vibe towards non-trivial inbound merge requests from people we don't already know…

After some years I finally got #Mozilla to fix the "What Train is it Now?" #Firefox releases schedule website to provide an ics link you can subscribe to with a desktop/mobile calendaring app other than Google's :blobsweats:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1850572

Now you can connect that ics link to, say, GNOME Calendar, and see directly when a new Firefox release is supposed to be published every couple of weeks.

We've had this for years in https://release.gnome.org/calendar/ btw :blobpeek:

Your turn, @libreoffice@fosstodon.org ? 🙂

An example of a 10-years-old feature request in GNOME Calendar that has been superseded by the combination of 5 other UX improvements, to the point where I am comfortable putting the original ticket to rest until a new technological development comes up: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/46#note_2686910

Same with this 2.5-years-old feature request of mine (which has now been superseded by two of those UX enhancements): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1072#note_2686968

Huge thanks to @maximiliano@floss.social and @TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems for reviewing & merging this very long-awaited UX improvement in GNOME Calendar's infinitely scrolling month view: the previous/next buttons (and corresponding keyboard shortcuts) now properly clamp to the beginning of months when switching months! :blobmiou:

See the "before" vs "after" demonstration videos in the merge request: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/369

Trying to investigate the random occurrence of blank screens (due to the first frame not being sent by #Mutter in a timely fashion) when connecting remotely to #GNOME over #RDP.

As it turns out, there are also situations where Mutter does not send frames in response to some UI actions (ex: closing a popover menu, toggling the lockscreen between clock and password entry, etc.).

Report here (primarily about the 1st problem mentioned above): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/4627

As it turns out, #Firefox lags like hell while hovering tabs when they are vertical and when you have a couple hundreds of them :blobmiou:

I have reported the issue here (in case there are other tab hoarders out there): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2016616

I wonder if this only happens on Linux, or if other OSes' graphics stack are similarly hammered.

I was wondering why I was always failing my TOTP 2FA logins on the first attempt. Turns out I found a bug in the Authenticator app for GNOME, where it will always give you the wrong codes after resuming the computer from suspend (sometimes after unlocking the app's built-in lockscreen too, I think): https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Authenticator/-/issues/481

The latest releases of #FairScan have a nice feature to facilitate its ethical data-driven software development approach: there is now a built-in convenience action in the About dialog to allow you to email the raw photo of the latest scan to @pynicolas@mastodon.social if you encounter examples of situations that cause the autodetection heuristics to fail. I've sent them a few samples today.

Details and instructions here: https://www.fairscan.org/blog/learning-from-failed-scans/

I'm incredibly excited to see some initial investigation and experiments around making Mutter resilient against GPU crashes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3305#note_2674106

Thank you @rmader@mastodon.social and @jadahl@floss.social for planning such improvements to improve GNOME's robustness as part of the FreeDesktop graphics stack!

Finally upgraded to Fedora 43, now that Mutter 49.3 has been released and trickled down through updates to Fedora :blobmiou:

It is now time for the twice-a-year tradition to ward off unpredictable search results and paranormal activity, by casting this spell and letting the CPU burn for an hour or so:

localsearch reset --filesystem

Quite tempted to buy a 50$ second-hand Pixel 6a smartphone for secure travel with eSIMs, at a price where I wouldn't cry if something happens to it. Presumably the only downside vs my Pixel 7a is not having induction charging? Is it a good deal?

#Mozilla choosing to kill embeddable Gecko (make it a #Firefox only engine, essentially) over a decade ago was such a tragic mistake. Alternative browsers & desktop apps had no choice but to go with WebKit or Blink/Electron. As a result, Mozilla have nobody to blame but themselves for their minuscule marketshare and nil developer mindshare today.

I've done a couple of rounds of testing with @januz@social.linux.pizza's iterative bugfixes in the epic https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg/pull/894 megabranch for the "new core" #GTK4 version of @GettingThingsGNOME@fosstodon.org … and the bugfixing progress lately is quite exciting.
At the current pace, I believe we're headed towards mergeability to the official code repository's master branch pretty soon, then y'all will be able to throw a gazillion small #Python code bugfixes on top!

Attending the "Survive the Drive" event tonight (18 to 20h+) at the #Notman House, in downtown #Montreal.

It's a free & public event, mostly informal group discussions (i.e. alcoholics anonymous, but for business owners). There usually is some networking before/after the group session.

Meet me there to discuss #technology, #business, #entrepreneurship, etc!

Details at https://notman.org/en/programming/
Events I attend are also listed on the @ideemarque@mastodon.social contact page.

After 7 months of work & 110 commits changing 5k LoC over 77 files, the #GTK4 port of #FileRoller is now complete 🎊 🎉 This was done mostly by Paolo Bacchilega, the experienced maintainer of File Roller and gThumb.

Major toolkit version upgrades can be a huge undertaking even for seemingly simple #GNOME #GTK apps and experienced devs. Be patient with your #opensource software #developers. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/merge_requests/90

#introduction:

Independent #OpenSource #FLOSS contributor for 19+ years. I break apps & report bugs everywhere (mostly for + @gnome@floss.social + @GStreamer@fosstodon.org + @libreoffice@fosstodon.org). I co-maintain @GettingThingsGNOME@fosstodon.org & #GNOME Calendar.

I'll post updates on what I'm doing, incl. bug reports that might be of interest to #Linux desktop users.

I also run a marketing firm in #Montreal, #Canada, & a #photography studio.

I used to do #illustration #art as a hobby, as you can see in this WIP #artwork 👇🏼 Hi #MastoArt !
