This is what i call a feature packed release.

For those who don't know, this feature will allow gnome to remember the positions of applications so they're restored when the app is started again.

From the AMA, someone suggested

Yeah some Up/Download + simple management API would be really nice. Since Proton is loved a lot among programmers, I'm very sure there'll be a lot of people in the community to create some implementation their own (including me)

And Andy(CEO) replied

This is actually good/important input. We went this direction with Proton VPN on Linux and the first version was a community built version which as OK. Eventually, we had to take the effort in-house to ensure it was sufficiently well maintained and keeping up with the latest features, but it was still a goo way to get started. We will indeed consider this for Proton Drive also, although it is a more complicated product (includes complex parts like sync engine and version conflict resolution logic, etc). -Andy

Also, when pointed about Henry,Andy replied

Yes, we know Henry, he should have access to the API specs/docs and he has a direct line of communication with us. -Andy

So all hope is not i would say. And i would prefer rclone and apps based over than than electron wrappers tbh.

Reading the STF news feels exciting after a few weeks of them not present. It makes me so happy that GNOME and Libadwaita, along with flatpaks are attracting a lot of developers into contriibuting and experimenting their ideas.

From Team:

Hi everyone,

We’re relentlessly working to improve Proton Drive’s performance across all platforms thanks to your valuable feedback.

This week ends with an update in Proton Drive’s encryption that increases single file upload by 140% on the macOS app.

If you haven’t already, you can download the Proton Drive macOS app here: https://proton.me/drive/download

We recognize that we still need to address other optimizations and fixes. This improvement is yet another step in our commitment to deliver reliable, fast, and secure apps for you.

Let us know what you think, and please keep your feedback coming!

What surprised me was that the author of the feature is an employee of Volkswagen who has worked on this on their behalf.

When opening / saving files, you’ll now be presented with a window similar to the main window of Files. The new file picker is actually part of Files, so it utilizes a lot of existing code. It’s also adaptive, and a lot more open for changes than the one built into GTK.

Kerala have a big contribution to this since all the school IT labs + government offices here use ubuntu or its slightly modified versions. Wish if every state did so.

This branch implements support for transforming SDR (sRGB) to a HDR enabled output, while allowing HDR content to stay intact.

Roughly what it does is, when HDR mode is enabled via the experimental property, all the stage views that represents outputs where HDR actually managed to be enabled starts to composite in a linear variant of the target color space (which will be BT.2020) via an intermediate framebuffer. Each thing being painted should then transform its pixels to fit in this color space, using an EOTF, a color space mapping matrix and luminance adaptation.

Here is the merge request

[-] rorschah@lemdro.id 11 points 2 months ago

Glad they also started to include images which makes easy to really understand the changes, especially the UI related ones.

From €500 to €10,000 depending on criticality. For now only GLib is in scope but we will expand the list of modules and advertise as the program grows.

If you are a GNOME or freedesktop module maintainer and would like your module to join the pilot program; please get in touch.

In partnership with YesWeHack and Sovereign Tech Fund.

True. I'm glad that the multiple lemmy releases during past months didn't make the app unusable.

[-] rorschah@lemdro.id 15 points 3 months ago

These TWIG issues really shows how much Sovereign Tech Fund boosts the accessibility and modernisation for GNOME. What would have been if all countries started spending such an amount for OSS projects

[-] rorschah@lemdro.id 17 points 3 months ago

A very well written blog. Never knew what us he difference between adwaita and gnome, and this blog made clear exactly that.

[-] rorschah@lemdro.id 15 points 9 months ago

there are many interesting one's for me this issue, mainly :

  • Drag and drop of folders will now work with sandboxed applications (Drop a folder from Nautilus onto Amberol)
  • In the works is accessing USB devices with per-device, per-app permissions.
  • Adding CSS variables support to GTK.
  • Grouping notifications by app in GNOME Shell.
  • CalDAV/CardDAV support in Gnome Online accounts.

Hope we get many of these in coming few months.

If you are interested learning more, there was a veritasium video about analog chips where he quite well explained the working of and the usecases .
