@sageofredondo I miss RHEV 😢!
@nekohayo That is a really clever find!
@carlrichell @carlrichell I can't believe it has been 20 years of his tireless work. It truly is an invaluable resource for us all.
@FluentInFinance There should be limits of capitalim on necessasities
@cassidy I can't wait to read the blog post 🙂!

Wrapping up a very productive GNOME design call… about accent colors! We addressed every single blocking topic and have a clear way forward. I don’t want to promise anything specific (especially timelines), buuuut it’s looking good to me.
I might write up a blog post to summarize the direction once we sort some of the little details out. But there’s a pretty good consensus across half a dozen or so people doing the work—harder than it sounds. 😅
@alice Oh, that blog post was really helpful. Here I was thinking all the color work related to HDR.
Once the designers come to a consensus for an accent color approach, it should be easier to implement now
Thank you!

Showtime, the video player I'm developing for #GNOME has entered Incubator and is available on the GNOME Nightly repo for testing 
I'm hoping for it to replace Totem (Videos) in GNOME 48 and I will publish it on Flathub soon.
Setting up GNOME Nightly: https://nightly.gnome.org/
The repository for the app: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubator/showtime

It’s not antisemitic to call a fascist a fascist.

@protonprivacy I hope to see Proton Pass distributed via Flathub. RPM and DEBs are dated means to distribute software.

This is the forecast for New Delhi
Not a night below 30c.
The body cannot cool off and "reset".
Many people, even young healthy people will not survive this week because of #ClimateBreakdown
#ClimateCrisis is hitting us already. Not sometime in 2030 or 2040 when we have fresh targets to not hit.
This is genocide.
Indian authorities won't be able to keep an accurate tally of the dead. It is a crisis that #FossilFuel companies gave us. we need to sue them out of existence.
@agx You deserve some sort of open source award for the amount of amazing contributions.
@gnome I look forward to this new GNOME development fund 😀!

#Chromium (and #Chrome) begins phasing-out Manifest v2.
https://blog.chromium.org/2024/05/manifest-v2-phase-out-begins.html
This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as #uBlock Origin.
Following #Google's example, may I instead recommend you switch to #Firefox.
Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.
Happy browsing.
