The libxml2 maintainer is basically shrugging his shoulders and saying "deal with your own fucking security issues; libxml was never meant to be used in your projects" to google and the rest of the giant corporations that are using his labor without contributing back. I'm totally on board with that.

Gnome hat eine Option „Mauszeiger finden“: wenn ich die Ctrl-Taste drücke, leuchtet um den Mauszeiger eine Animation blauer Kreise auf.
Ich vergesse immer, daß es sie gibt, wenn ich wirklich mal nicht weiß, wo der Mauszeiger gerade ist, wackel ich wild mit der Maus hin und her.
Dafür werde ich bei intensiver Emacs-Nutzung von gefälliger Blubberblasen-Animation begleitet.

»Umbruch am Linux-Desktop – Nach nur ein paar Jahrzehnten wird es ernst mit dem Ende von X11:
Sowohl das GNOME-Projekt als auch die entsprechenden Versionen von Fedora und Ubuntu streichen mit ihren kommenden Versionen die Unterstützung für den alten Grafikserver. Wayland übernimmt«
Hui… nun ist es so zu sagen offiziell nach Jahrzehnten deren Doppelleben der Linux Desktops.

No GNOME and no KDE so no Signal Desktop for me...
It would otherwise store its password in the plain, i.e., drop encryption entirely, unless you override it to use a password store. I'm on Sway. No idea what I could do.

I have been looking for a screenshot of these icons I drew for gnome as placeholders, but they also encouraged Tuomas Kuosmanen to jump in and fix it, and finally found a copy online!
The “sl” stood for “symbolic link” and “sock” for socket - I used these hand drawn icons for each mime type:

I'm trying PopOS on a second PC and there's some things I love and, all the things I hate about it have to do mainly with GNOME.
How come the terminal doesn't have autocomplete?
Why can't I navigate to a smb address by putting it on the file manager?

I built XLibre last night, and can confirm that it builds, which is a start. Now let's just hope that any desktop environment worth a shit doesn't follow GNOME & DeadRat's lead and strip all X11 compatibility!

macOS have emacs binding system-wide, while GNOME seems to have adopted Windows'...
I'll keep making the joke that mac is the best linux desktop then.

Avoid news sites that run headlines like this, as they over-simplify things[1] to get you scared to make money[2].
[1] it was decided that Fedora Workstation will become Wayland-only with version 43; that decision has no effect at all on other variants and spins Fedora offer that do not use #Gnome.
[2] through ads

PSA: Some games are working in HDR without Gamescope on Gnome 48 using TKG Wine/Proton Experimental in Wayland mode. Definitely not all games, but some, when it does work its fucking awesome I'm hyped #linuxgaming #gnome

I think, at this point of time, all fediverse software supports markdown, some even support LaTeX formatting. But, Mastodon still doesn't support any of that. I sadly observe that everyone around me posting per posts with bold, italics etc, while I can't.
Mastodon feels like the gnome of fediverse software.

To all my fellow Arch users, I was once again reminded that putting anything in `/etc/environment` is a bad idea. Don't do it.
I put `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1` in there, because I always want native file dialogs, right? Well, turns out this breaks secret service integration (KDE Wallet/GNOME Keyring) in Fractal. So, back to setting it on a per-app basis.

Hey everyone!
Resources 1.8 has landed with new features such as showing the link type and speed of various devices and better support for more hardware like the Raspberry Pi's GPU.
And, of course, it features the latest GNOME 48 runtime!
Feel free to check it out! :)

Working through slowly setting up my laptop with NixOS, I'm going GNOME Wayland cuz I know my laptop is old enough to not have too many problems with it and apparently PiP on Firefox is just broken, like fully broken, has been for up to 4 years.

Was a lil pricey but don't regret my @… Laptop 13 purchase one bit. @… Alpine skin was not the easiest to get on right but is very nice as well. Can't imagine myself buying something else. Fedora Workstation is…

A Framework Laptop 13 sitting on a wooden desk, with the Dbrand Alpine skin applied on the lid, trackpad and deck. A USB-C and HDMI expansion card are inserted, and a DisplayPort card is sitting on the desk in front of a speaker.
The same Framework laptop from a different angle showing off the display and keyboard, which has a super key instead of a Windows key. The GNOME desktop is visible with a 180SX drift car for the background.
