If you see a piece of text that you need translated quickly and easily, use Dialect! First, select it's language (or have the app automatically identify it). Then, choose what you want it converted into. Finally, watch as the your choice of translation backend does the hard work for you. Dialect even lets you have the localised paragraph read out-loud!

You can follow the app's creator here: @rafaelmardojai

You can get the app on Flathub here: https://flathub.org/apps/app.drey.Dialect

Question: someone I know is doing a data science project for university, and needs to scrape some tabular data from a web site to perform analysis on as an assignment.

Is there anything open source or GNOME-related that is publicly listed as tabular data somewhere that could be interesting for them to analyze? Ideally something with at least 100 data points and multiple columns per data point, if that makes sense.

I released a Jellyfin client yesterday called Delfin! It's a native desktop client using GTK4 and Libadwaita, with MPV embedded for video playback.

Right now you can use it to stream movies and TV shows from your Jellyfin server.

It's still very buggy and missing features, but if you want to try it out it's available on Flathub (https://flathub.org/apps/cafe.avery.Delfin) and elsewhere (https://delfin.avery.cafe/).

#jellyfin #gtk #libadwaita #gnome #delfin

Delfin displaying the user's library.

There are three rows visible: Continue Watching, Next Up, and Latest Shows. Each row shows the thumbnails and names of different movies and TV show episodes.
Delfin's video player, playing an episode of Star Trek TNG.

The player is paused showing the video player controls. The mouse is hovering over the scrubber, showing a thumbnail for that timestamp. In the corner, there's a Skip Intro button.
Delfin showing the details page for Arcane. There's a description, some metadata (years in production, age rating, genre), and a list of the episodes in season 1.
The same as the previous image, but in light mode.

"'"There's a decent number of laptops with #fingerprint readers that are supported by #Linux, and #Gnome has some nice integration to make use of that for authentication purposes. But if you log in with a fingerprint, the moment you start any app that wants to access stored passwords you'll get a prompt asking you to type in your password, which feels like it somewhat defeats the point. Mac users don't have this problem […] Why the difference?"'"

A neat little thing you can do in most operating systems is to enter a mathematical equation in the system’s search field and get the result back.

This also works on GNOME Shell but if it’s not working for you, go to Settings → Search and make sure that the App Search toggle switch is on at the top and that the Calculator app’s toggle switch is on under Search Results.

(For some reason, the latter was off for me on Fedora Silverblue.)

1.25 font scaling (i.e. what the "Large Text" #GNOME #accessibility setting does) is perfect for my ThinkPad's 1920x1080 14-inch screen, but it's way too big for the regular 1600x900 22" external monitor I dock it into.

I wish I could set that "Large Text" accessibility setting on a per-screen basis, but I can imagine it would be difficult (if not impossible) to implement compared to global display fractional scaling...

Why doesn't have #EXWM have an icon or logo?

Even #GNOME and #KDE have that!

#Emacs

Ok, I just noticed that libadwaita now has a file with Vala annotations to fix incompatibilities between Vala and GObject Introspection. Adw.show_about_window is now finally usable from Vala.

That allows me to show some syntactic sugar that Vala has for this kind of functions that tend to be somewhat common in the GObject ecosystem
​:neocat:​

In case you encounter a variadic method or function that expects string-value pairs as arguments, you can use the following syntax

Adw.show_about_window (this.active_window,
    application_name: _("Example"),
    application_icon: "org.example.App",
    version: "1.2.3",
    copyright: "© 2022 Angela Avery",
    issue_url: "https://gitlab.gnome.org/example/example/-/issues/new",
    license_type: Gtk.License.GPL_3_0,
    developers: new string[] { "Angela Avery" },
    designers: new string[] { "GNOME Design Team" },
    translator_credits: _("translator-credits")
);

Vala will take care of converting underscores to hyphens to respect the kebab-case convention for property names in GObject.

The example is taken from libadwaita's documentation, btw

Auf einem 10 Jahre alten Desktop-Computer für Bürozwecke mit 8 GB RAM und einer 4-Kern-CPU ohne Hyperthreading habe ich einige Linux-Distributionen ausprobiert, um zu testen, ob man damit noch gut arbeiten kann.

Wie erwartet, liefen #GNOME und #KDE nicht ganz flüssig (getestet unter #DebianLive).

Aber: #mxlinux (mit #xfce) und #linuxmint (mit #cinnamon) laufen sehr flott.

An MX Linux hat mich anfangs gestört, dass die von XFCE gewohnten Tastenkürzel (wie z.B. Alt-F10 zum Maximieren eines Fensters) nicht funktionierten. Die Lösung dafür war schnell gefunden:
Startmenü → Einstellungen → Fensterverwaltung → Tastatur → Klick auf [Auf Standardwerte zurückstellen].

Jetzt bin ich mit MX Linux sehr zufrieden:
+ stabiler #Debian-Unterbau
+ vorinstallierte Firewall #ufw mit Oberfläche #gufw
+ einsteigerfreundliche Programm- und Updateverwaltung, die Debian-Pakete und #Flatpak unter eine Haube bringt.

Darf bleiben.

We're now working on filling the remaining gaps so this can become an actual reality on the #gnome (and generally #linux / #fdo / #gnu) desktop. And what can I say - things actually work out quite nicely! While on modern Intel or AMD systems the effect is mostly about lower resource consumption, on some low-end hardware there are visible differences on what you can play fluently.
