Is there anyone who is interested in taking over maintenance of this lovely chess timer app for #GNOME written in #Python? It's pretty cool (and a member of GNOME Circle!), but its maintainer, the wonderful Clara Hobbs, is stepping away from the project. If this sounds interesting to you, reach out to them!

What is the current state of NFC on linux?

I want to write an HCE application for Asteroid and potentially other mobile linux targets but am having trouble finding information on where to start.

What toolkits should I use? Should I make my APDU handler a little library? Should provisioning be in that library or somewhere else? How do I register an AID with the system? How do I shove APDUs back at the reader? Is any of this even possible yet?

If anyone knows anything about this please reach out.

If you've wanted to try Affinity products before, they've just announced that you can now get six (6!) month trials with no strings attached! https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/trial/

A few more accent color things landed, e.g. settings illustrations can now follow it, calculator has dropped orange, new dialogs disambiguate suggested/destructive styles, while papers and sysprof properly redraw when accent changes now (and it's all in gnome os, incl. shell finally). So yeah, it's all in a fairly good shape now ^^ (other than blue folders)

getting HYPED for Berlin GUADEC (I hear it's grown beyond a "mini" event).

Anticipating a lot of interesting talks and productive hacking :D

there will also be a #LinuxMobile event of some kind, not sure on what scale yet, but hopefully worth showing up for.

@z3ntu added sensor support to #Fairphone 4 and 5 on #postmarketOS in an open MR, on track to beat the Xiaomi Mi 9T / Redmi K20 and Pixel 3a in packaging (even though sensors can work on both devices). It's not just SDM845 devices (and still not SDM670) that benefit from the libssc/hexagonrpcd userspace sensor drivers.

• More accepted ways to type certain characters, such as “oe” for “œ”
• Better handling of scripts using intelligent input engines, like Korean Hangul
…and more!

Hey folks, we're going to be at @allsystemsgo in Berlin later this year. @cas and @craftyguy will be talking about how #postmarketOS has evolved over the last few years, our experiences with #systemd, and our plans for an #immutable postmarketOS that doesn't restrict user freedom.

If you're into low level Linux userspace and middleware definitely come along :D

is it a bad idea to go alone to the pride parade? D:

@antoniof has been doing some fantastic work on the new Nautilus file chooser. We're finally getting to a point where we'll be shipping a usable adaptive file chooser upstream.

(NOTE: this is still not merged, and I'm showcasing the current state of the WIP branches)

xiaomi mi pad 5's linux development is so messy, there are 3 kernels, one in 6.9 but its suspend it's broken and no one has fixed it (im not that good to do it :c ), one in 6.1.10 who tries to backport everything made in the other one but sticking in 6.1.10 cause it's not broken in there, and one that is the same 6.1.10 but changing the build system to make it more agnostic D:, i really want to run pmOS in this thing...

apparently you can just airdrop yourself Apple Pro Apps from display units in Apple Stores and use them without paying hundreds of dollars xd

ok role switching (OTG mode) actually kinda works now. you have to attach the usb cable twice for some reason but we can fix that...

ended up just copying the sm8250 implementation @0xB0D wrote and editing it for sdm845 and it just worked!

no PD yet either but that can come later (op6 doesn't support it anyway)

Today the results from the #GNOME Foundation Board of Directors' elections are official, and so I will soon become a new director. Thanks everybody that participated in the elections! I applied with a very clear point in mind, and I know that I might have sound strict at times. So I am very happy to get feedback (specially from people that might have disagreed with my perspective). Feel free to reach out to me on Matrix (@pabloyoyoista:matrix.org) or email (pcgomez@gnome.org)!
