Small teaser of the #WebKitGTK cleanup work done today for context menus. It doesn't look like much but using GtkPopoverMenu paves the way for GTK4 and also fixes years old bugs related to menu positioning. Bonus: the patch will actually remove more code than it adds

I had a remote "help me" session using #nextcloud talk. If you need to remotely help a non-tech person it's really good option - no installation or configuration is required on the "non-tech" side. Just click the link and allow to share screen. I had voice communication over #jami, but nextcloud talk does ithat as well.

RIP John Conway

@kde #PlasmaMobile virtual sprint concludes. Thanks everyone for attending! 💙💙💙💙

We will be publishing the recording for training session later after post-processing.

Now that we put some more groundwork into #phosh we can start to experiment with gestures in the compositor. It's just a hack so far to see if we're moving in the right direction:

This should also be the default in public administrations.

I've just finished a set of screencasts on the Desktop Publishing tool Scribus for my students.

The program has come quite a long way since I last used it, it is really great to have a strong #FLOSS canvas #layout alternative.

If anything, the #covid19 lockdown has been a great opportunity to showcase free and libre open source software alternatives to my students and collegues.

Can post links when transcoding is finished, if there is any interest.

Albert #Uderzo left us today... "Astérix" was certainly the first comic I read and his generous curved drawing style had a big impact on my way to draw. Rest in peace.
