Luminance is a simple GTK application to control brightness of displays including external displays supporting DDC/CI

Here's the Github Repo

 

In the latest Mozilla Firefox 127 release simply do the following:

  • Go to about:config in a new tab
  • ‘Accept Risk and Continue’
  • Search for browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.system.showWeather
  • Double-click the result to enable the feature
 

This discussion on Mozilla Connect was updated today to include a demo video of the current progress of the addition of tabs in the sidebar.

And this is 100% Youtube's fault, not Firefox's fault, they created this issue:

This problem is triggered by bad muxed VP9 bytestream served by Youtube, so it's not a regression on our side, this issue can also be reproduced on old versions Firefox. Usually when muxing a video bytestream, the video samples' timestamp should be monotonizally increasing and no overlap between samples. But there are some bad video samples in YT's bytesteam, they overlapped with the previous sample. Eg. [124416000, 125126000] and [125125000, 131382000]. The next one should start from 12516000 instead of starting from 125125000 causing an overlapping.

That overlapped sample triggers this and our WebM demuxer fails to calculate the next timestamp in that situation. The end time of video sample was set to the same as the sample's start time, and that causes a gap being detected for the next sample, resulting in resetting append state. When doing so, mNeedRandomAccessPoint would be set to true and that triggers the sample skipping mechanism per the spec.

Therefore, there would be many sample being incorrectly skipped and won't be added into the buffered range. When entering the buffering state, Firefox would be waiting those sample which has been skipped but Youtube thought that those samples were already appended. That makes the endless buffering happened.

I still can't believe how this one comes back again and again. One of the greatest feat of humanity.

Not mine, but here is the Github repo :

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

Most of the speed is due to them compiling packages with the x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4 instruction set and LTO.

That means the CPU need to be little newer to take advantage of, too

 

Features:

  • Introduce handheld hardware detection
  • Introduce T2 MacBook support
  • Add network driver detection
  • Added MacBook T2 support
  • BTRFS is now the default selected file system
  • Use ufw instead of firewalld
  • NVIDIA: Enable required services and options for working sleep on Wayland

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

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

This is exciting news indeed. Reading last weeks TWIG left me worrying, but this is a releif. Hope the usual accessibility & performance improvement news can be seen from the next TWIG issue onwards.

This is a very welcoming change, especially for those who are starting with workbench and gnome developement.

 

vulkan-nouveau (aka NVK) is no longer experimental and has gotten pretty good with nouveau + GSP binary firmware blobs for Pascal and newer Nvidia cards.

 

Hi everyone,

We understand that every second counts and we continue our work on making the processes in our apps faster. The Proton Mail app for iOS is now better integrated with Proton Calendar so you can be more productive when managing your events. 

🗓️ Our new calendar event summary widget not only shows the event info in all emails that contain invites, but also allows you to confirm or reject your attendance with a single tap. 

Download the app here, and let us know what you think: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/proton-mail-encrypted-email/id979659905

We’re currently facing a major issue from the GNOME Foundation side. We hope it will be resolved before it impacts the coordination of the STF project, but if not, the future of parts of the project is uncertain.

This blog always gave me hope and joy of seeing progress in Linux. This time, the above news made me a little scared. Hope it all resolves soon.

The following PR actually implements a desktop like UI for firefox android.Hope it will be in atleast beta soon.

https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/pull/5218#issuecomment-1966233109

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (5 children)

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.

Same here. being subscribed to unixporn community, hyprland always makes me wanna try it. but everytime i did, i just couldn't make it as my norm. Then i return to my good old Gnome.

(what sereral months of DE/WM hopping made me realize was i am not good at using WM's. The only one i used atleast few months was openbox in archcraft )
