what happened to #NixOS matrix channel ? did it get raided just like #gnome #gtk ?

Omfg I think I finally understood #Python, #Lutris and #GTK sufficiently, and my brain decided to do one of these super rare happy chemical flushes. Fucking Poggies.

The speed result is completely inaccurate (turns out the existing Downloader class doesn't wait long enough if all you care is for the very first measurement), but right now I'm just happy it updates the text accordingly every time.
#coding

Back to #Wayland and input methods.

What's your favorite input method?

Cause for me it was the one on old #Nokia phones. I could type with my hands in my pockets! Handy in winter.

Tested with #cosmic and #GTK .

This is just the beginning. Actually useful stuff is coming in the future. #Mobile keyboards, #Chinese input is what it's for:

Can someone make a real open source svg/vector #editor. Something like affinity design, but runs on all operating systems. OSX #Linux windows. That does not use #GTK because every GTK app is not suited for real work when you wanna get stuff done I’m sorry I need menus lists and dropdowns no hamburger trash plz.
#krita #gimp #inkscape #pinta #karbon none of these fill the void at least with vector editing, & having sensible key bindings. I would be more than happy to pay for the application. 

Save the Date

We're having another edition of #BoilingTheOcean on May 24th and 25th!

Join us for two days of hacking on low-level emancipatory tech in Berlin. Agenda, location, etc. TBA :)

What do you think is still missing in #Wayland?

I feel that the last rough edges have been ironed out in the last year. This includes #HDR, #TripleBuffering, #ColorManagement, #SessionRestore implementations, improved #Accessibility, etc.

What important pieces do you think are still missing in Wayland?

Having fun with https://github.com/MMarco94/compose-4-gtk/ which I stumbled on recently.

It's just a proof of concept, far from complete, but you might be interested if you like to develop in #kotlin with the #compose way of thinking, but would like to develop #gnome / #gtk apps.

Hello guys, I released Serigy, an app to pin information from the clipboard.
The idea came about to solve the problem of copying multiple items at once and pasting them in different places. I was hesitant to use a clipboard manager because it felt invasive. After months of development and use, I decided to publish it.

In terms of application development for #linux, i'm enjoying relm4.

My biggest peeve at the moment is: Why do so many apps have a HUGE sidebar you can't toggle off. Also, why is that the default view when horizontal space gets tight???

Not sure if this is #gtk defaults or just a choice by the application developers.

Discovered a couple of new to me apps via this thread in the GNOME forum: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/194-nineteen-years-old/28189

Double release! Matthias released GTK 4.18.4 from the stable branch, which contains a series of fixes for the cursor tracking on Wayland, as well as a fix for window resizing on Windows.

Off the main development branch also comes GTK 4.19.0, the first snapshot towards GTK 4.20, to be released in September alongside GNOME 49. This is a development release, so beware!
