Also, Plex email blasted a few weeks ago about how nobody can share their libraries anymore without paying for a subscription. That was the push I needed to check out Jellyfin again, and the experience ranges from “good enough” to “that’s better than Plex” for me and my buddies.

Damn, that’s unfortunate, but good to know. Thanks for the info.

This seems like a really nice tool, congrats!

Too bad there is so much focus on AI though. The UI looks nice, and templating and being able to schedule posts would be super handy, but I don’t need an AI to write things for me. I find that using AI is ethically icky anyhow; I’d rather not have it in any of the tools I use.

Is it possible to disable all the AI features when using Postiz? Like, a boolean setting in the deployment configs would be great.

The phrase “for profit” is probably referring to the corporation’s structure. It isn’t related to whether the corporation is currently profitable.

Dunno if it would meet your needs, but I’ve been using Input Remapper for binding macros to various key presses and mouse buttons under Wayland. It does prompt for root access, but it’s a GUI. It supports any input method, as far as I can tell. It even supports my tablet.

I use it to bind stuff like hold(key(BTN_LEFT).wait(100)) to some button to repeatedly left click while I’m holding that button down.

Your website is refreshingly simple and also manages to be unique looking. I like it!

Boards as in breadboards, I guess. That title assumes the reader will have a certain context.

I got excited thinking it was about managing board activity for nonprofits formed by developers.

Still, seems like a nice tool for people who do breadboarding!

Couldn’t you do that with Firefox? It stores all that stuff locally already, doesn’t it? Just disable sync and use whatever software you prefer to watch those directories.

Edit: here’s how you can figure out where the settings and bookmarks are stored locally on your system: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data

OBS could do that, I suppose. Add a screen capture source, and place a color source behind it sized 10px larger than the screen capture rect. Hit record.

right click menu icons

I think they might be referring to icons next to menu items in the right click menu.

I think those icons can be handy sometimes, but I find them to be massively overused in KDE especially, to the point that it feels visually overwhelming sometimes. Having zero icons at all in GNOME might be the other extreme, but I appreciate how clean it looks.

Blender using icons strategically to visually group related items is probably the best of both worlds.

Are there rust haters? I guess there must be, but I don’t think I’ve run across that so much as the “everything ever made must be rewritten in rust” crowd, and then everyone else who doesn’t much care what language is used as long as it works.

Well this is bound to be controversial, to say the least. GNOME and systemd are two pieces of software that attract very polarized opinions.

I’m interested to see how this evolves. The planned session restore feature sounds nice. With the Wayland changes coming too, GNOME 50 should be a big deal, one way or another.

We went ahead and disabled the X11 session by default and from now on it needs to be explicitly enabled when building the affected modules. (gnome-session, GDM, mutter/gnome-shell).

Aside from a simple flag change and a recompile before Canonical adds the packages to their repo, it doesn’t sound like this will affect Ubuntu at all. They probably already do this anyway to add their own little patches.

The most likely scenario is that all the X11 session code stays disabled by default for 49 with a planned removal for GNOME 50.

GNOME 50 is when Canonical will truly need to either move to Wayland or do something else.

Seems fairly reasonable of a timeline from the GNOME team, IMO.

I say, keep talking about it until it gets fixed. Reporting it once in 2023 and then never again just enables sweeping things under the rug.

Data breaches should always be news, even if it is unsurprising to you personally. There’s literally always going to be someone out there who doesn’t have the same information that you do.

Edit: yes, I do think it ought to be considered a data breach when data is shared with additional parties, even (or maybe especially) when that party is the government.

I used to use Pano for that, but it’s extension page hasn’t been updated since GNOME 45, so I switched to Clipboard History instead. It’s not quite as pretty (just a normal popup menu, no previews) but it is actually nicer to use, in my opinion.

Both options can be bound to Super+V, that’s exactly the key combo I use for it.

Sorry that it is not working for you, and it definitely worth people keeping in mind that issues can happen, but it is not quite so binary as “don’t use GNOME if you have Nvidia”.

Plenty of people use Nvidia and GNOME together successfully. I have an Nvidia 2070 RTX and it works very well with GNOME on Fedora Workstation. I’ve never even had to install anything or mess with settings, it just worked automatically.

Haven’t watched the video since it’s on YouTube, but I hope this means they’ll start adding features at some point soon after the rewrite is finished. It would be really nice to be able to more easily configure bridged networking in a VM, for instance.

Spice is slow as fuck too. It was so agonizing using my Windows VM (for Affinity Publisher) on Gnome Boxes because it requires Spice tools since the networking isn’t bridged by default for whatever reason and you can’t enable it without a bunch of fucking around, so network shares don’t function. Everything is done via Spice WebDAV, which gets disconnected every couple of minutes, freezing the VM filesystem while the Windows VM figures out wtf to do with itself and reconnects everything. It’s atrocious.

Eventually I spent the time needed to fiddle with the VM in Virtual Machine Manager and set up bridged networking. Now I can use normal network shares and it’s so much faster and more reliable.

I know this thread is supposed to be about the remote access parts of it, but Spice is damned annoying, in my experience. I don’t even want to be using a Windows VM anyway, the last thing I need is slow file sharing with my host OS.

As someone who uses GIMP very effectively for commercial work, I am increasingly feeling like people who say that GIMP isn’t a capable alternative are simply ignorant of it’s capabilities. Yeah, it doesn’t work like Photoshop. Yeah, it doesn’t work like Affinity Photo. Yeah, it doesn’t work like Photopea.

But yeah, it does work, and works well. If you apply a bit of patience to learn how it works, then it’s also very easy to use, eventually. Maybe it doesn’t cover all the use-cases, but it’s ignorant to say that it categorically isn’t capable for commercial use.
