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.

@gnome let’s credit @sonny and @tbernard for putting together the application, defending the case, earning the grant and leading the development initiative 👏

GNOME Foundation Executive Director Holly Million shares exciting updates on continuing work with the Sovereign Tech Fund and launching the GNOME Development Fund: https://foundation.gnome.org/2024/05/31/gnome-development-initiative-update/

Happy 25th anniversary, Krita!

#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.

@amxmln There's been so much good that's come from the Sovereign Tech Fund giving GNOME 1 € million to work on important projects.

This Week In GNOME has a section with so much happening each week as a result.

https://thisweek.gnome.org/

(Several of these projects aren't even GNOME specific, but improve the stack for everyone, like many accessibility improvements.)

I can't even begin to imagine the impact if it were nearly 200× more per year.

The Pipewire Camera Portal support for Chromium has finally landed!

This is great news, and means we'll soon start seeing real integration for cameras which are supported by libcamera through pipewire!

With #Microsoft introducing #Recall which will screenshot your screen to monitor all activities on your device, this begs the question...

What #Linux distro will you be switching to?

Professional game dev on Linux

"it’s been like 10 years since I last looked at any of this, and I really don’t care for this hard pivot to pushing AI into Windows that Microsoft is rolling out, so I figured it was time to check in on the state of Linux."

Universal basic income mitigates tunneling, meaning that people are more able to think beyond just one focus. The need to earn survival income tends to function like blinders that block out everything else but your focus on basic needs. Until they're obtained, we can't think beyond.

@erikwesselius @thomholwerda contrary to popular belief, GNOME isn't trying to hurt anyone with libadwaita. Every GNOME app was and will always be made for GNOME (except those who eventually decide not to), so nothing's changing on that front.

Before libadwaita, there was libhandy, which is essentially libadwaita for GTK3. Before libhandy, GNOME desktop-specific widgets were part of GTK, even though GTK also had its DE-agnostic equivalent widgets. So, what libhandy and libadwaita achieve is decoupling these GNOME desktop-specific widgets into its own collection of widgets specifically for the GNOME desktop.

In other words, libhandy/libadwaita literally made GTK *more* platform-agnostic by splitting itself. If anything, GTK was literally a "GNOME-ification of GTK" before libhandy and libadwaita happened. These platform-agnostic widgets are still and will remain available in GTK, and make apps that (theoretically) fit well on all desktops. A few examples of apps using GTK4 without libadwaita are Transmission and experimental versions of Inkscape.

Lmao. Just use Linux.

This #EarthDay we're taking a moment to highlight the incredible work that our environmental partners do daily. As 1% for the Planet members, we support them to secure a future for people and our planet.🌎 ➡️ http://col.la/ed24

Half the oxygen we breathe comes from tiny phytoplankton in the ocean.

A billion people depend on coral reefs for food and income.

11% of the earth’s surface provides all the food we eat.

3% of the water on earth is freshwater - and we can’t live without it.

The earth doesn’t need us: we need it. That’s why every day is #earthday!
