So… after probably running into every problem that currently exists in #KDE I can say that I start liking it, conceptionally.

In terms of app design it looks awfully cramped and "not good" compared to #libadwaita to put it mildly, but the desktop itself is kinda nice.~
Definitely gonna stick with Gnome apps, down to the calculator.

Now if we'd have KDE's features & stability but with #Gnome's GUI design (yet better theme-able) and written mainly in Rust… yeah… that would be nice. 😬

I'm wanting to get back into icon design. Specifically with GNOME style icons, but I feel super rusty at all of this. I'm trying to get back into the groove with inkscape and read up on the latest HIG as well as look at some recent examples from the GNOME design team. There's some amazing talent there and I feel so far behind. Idk, I hope I can get the style figured out soon and make myself useful.

Surely there's a way to say "always allow" to this kind of warning that I'm just not seeing, right?

... right?

Because otherwise, this is a critical bug which makes #GNOME pretty much unusable as a desktop environment for a console-like PC, it pops up every time I try to move the mouse cursor using a controller via #Steam. But surely that's not the case, because it has been like this for many many years, surely it'd have been fixed by now??

Anyone familiar with hacking on GNOME Shell or writing Shell extensions interested in helping with a design experiment? 👀

The GNOME design team is interested in exploring some improvements to window/app switching, but we want to make sure we actually *use* the concepts before making too many assumptions. I may write up a longer blog post or something going into more of the thinking behind the design we’re exploring—but in the meantime: anyone interested in helping out? 😊

is there somewhere i can find something like a "dos and don'ts of using #GTK4 and #adwaita"? :BoostOK:

i've been reading through random issues and MRs on various #GNOME repos, and i'm finding some really useful comments about things that you should(n't) be doing. things like "using a listview inside a box is wrong and broken" - this is really useful knowledge, but i can't find it actually formally documented anywhere.

Last week, I improved Papers' code around link previews. You'll get in Papers upcoming release. Want me to tease what to get in 49?
We were meeting, as we regularly do:
So, at the same time, @FineFindus, sitting across from me … completely rewrote the thumbnailer … of course in Rust.
All that, while @pabloyoyoista worked on improvements for the context menu for annotations. (Based on @tbernard's¹ great mock-ups for it.)

Does anybody you know in the FOSS world is involved in some Foundation or Association for a project in Belgium or The Netherlands? I'd love to hear your experience! At @postmarketOS we are looking into starting a legal entity, and we are still pondering pros and cons of different options (gitlab.postmarketos.org/postma) We already got lots of feedback from German e.V. and a Spanish Foundation is likely a no-go.

GitLabLegal entity for postmarketOS (#75) · Tickets · postmarketOS / postmarketOS · GitLabI think it would be benificial for pmOS to have a legal entity. The team is growing and we are trying to get more money from...

I love Dash to Panel. I don't even customize it, I just clone the default GNOME panel so I can pretend to check the time on another display.

It's sad to hear that Charles Gagnon (charlesg99) isn't going to be working on it anymore after people whined and complained about a donation button. I have never once experienced a bug in Dash to Panel and it's a testament that Charles and the other contributors have kept up this quality for years.

The only way open source projects will get better is if they beg for money and make the effort worth the contributors' time. So put that donation button back in. This isn't a charity.
