joojmachine,

Simple, they’ve been working with goals of each release, so most of the things that clearly aren’t going to make it to the next release don’t get top priority compared to the things that will. It also just so happened that a ton of these year-spanding works have finally being considered done today lol

joojmachine,

Better well implemented and late than poorly but soon.

joojmachine,

Sure, it’ll be there for those who want it. As an extension. It isn’t part of the vision the project has so they won’t implement it, they already have the Background Apps section for things like these. Simple as that.

joojmachine,
  1. You should, this is a huge achievement that has been worked on for quite a while now.
  2. You can, actually. I live in a pretty small town and it picks up my location quite well for the weather.
  3. Even if it didn’t, one issue doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to celebrate anything, and the issue in this case isn’t even with GNOME itself, but with the provider for the Weather app (I believe it’s OpenWeather).
joojmachine,

They’ve been doing quite a bit of work in the past year, on Newton, the future a11y stack, Spiel, for a better pipeline for speech synthesis (basically as an easy way to get more natural-sounding voice models) and on implementing AccessKit (the most recent stable a11y stack that is the same one the folks working on COSMIC are using).

joojmachine,

The thing is, volunteers work on what they want/specialize. Unless you are their boss and are paying them to work on something, you can’t force their hand.

joojmachine,

mfw neoliberal capitalist dystopia does dystopian things

joojmachine,

Ah shoot, I wasn’t aware posts about them were a no-go, specially since this is a useful tool for people that already have hardware from them, it isn’t any sort of news about “hey buy our new product” or something like it.

joojmachine,

There’s plenty of laptops with 2 separate graphics cards (mine included) and I’d say it’s the ideal experience if you need an NVIDIA card. Everything related to your system is done in the integrated Intel/AMD GPU (which works perfectly) and games and GPU intensive work (like CUDA) gets done in the NVIDIA one.

joojmachine,

And there are distros where it works out of the box with no extra steps needed: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and openSUSE IIRC

joojmachine,

It does, I used to set it up during the time I used Arch, it takes a bit of reading to understand how it works, but works flawlessly once you set it up.

joojmachine,

Yeah, Papers doesn’t have a stable release yet since they are still doing big design changes, but you can get it through the GNOME Nightly repo. I’ve been using it for quite a while now!

joojmachine,

Fortunately that’s what the GNOME Foundation is going for, having people dedicated to applying for grants and other programs. Hopefully there’s greater adoption by big companies and governments!

joojmachine,

Easy to imagine when you understand that this is developed to support hardware that is widely popular and that will be sold by a lot less in the second-hand market in a couple of years, and that this makes far easier for people that are currently stuck in this walled garden to experiment with free software.

joojmachine,

if they can manage for Asahi Linux to take advantage of the GPU

Umm, it already does for quite a while now (at least for regular usage). The work they’re currently doing will enable people to play games and other GPU-intensive work.

joojmachine,

of course it will, that’s not the point, the point is to make apps that use libadwaita look consistent even in platforms outside of GNOME

joojmachine,

Don’t worry, this article is mainly to clear some misunderstanding about libadwaita anyway, having questions about it is natural

joojmachine,

I’d recommend reading a bit more into the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines, your work already looks really good, and it’ll likely get even better with their insight.

joojmachine,

Welcome, we have cookies!

joojmachine,

yeah, proton vpn is the same, this guide is what made it finally work for me personally

joojmachine,

Same, their local translation tech is absolutely great! If they keep working “AI” features that are pretty much quality of life ML stuff I’m all in for it.

joojmachine,

It looks like they are riding the AI wave to bring more features that are just good, local ML-based, and I’m all in for it. Firefox Translation is a great recent example, it’s good.

joojmachine,

Good luck convincing people to switch to it based only on “it loads pages faster than Chrome” though. It’s a good goal to have, but getting tunnel-visioned on it when their current speed in real world use is pretty comparable is definitely not a good long-term plan.

joojmachine,

Oh, you mean FF for Android? Yeah, on that front it really needs a ton of work. On the desktop side things are pretty much fast to a point where in real world use the difference is minimal.

joojmachine,

You really overestimate how many people use an ad blocker. I wish it was that many.

joojmachine,

Hopefully.

joojmachine,

KDE Eco is (AFAIK) a project by the KDE folks to try and push for better optimizations for energy efficiency for software projects in general and to try and push for free software adoption by governments with the main push being the limits of software support by companies and the landfill that limited support creates.

joojmachine,

Definitely not involved with the project, just interested in seeing it develop 😅

joojmachine,

The point is pushing for wider free software adoption by organizations such as governments that are trying to meet ecologically “green” objectives.
