I'm incredibly excited to see some initial investigation and experiments around making Mutter resilient against GPU crashes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3305#note_2674106

Thank you @rmader and @jadahl for planning such improvements to improve GNOME's robustness as part of the FreeDesktop graphics stack!

Now I have moon phase indicator at thanks to Luna extension by Roy Thande at https://github.com/thanderoy/luna
#Moon #MoonPhase #MoonPhaseIndicator #Gnome #GnomeShell #GnomeshellExtensions

Extended my time tracking extension for Gnome with automatic window focus detection. Timers now activate when you focus a window matching your regex rules.
No more remembering to turn the timer on when switching projects and activities.

Screenshot of an overlay panel in the Gnome extension (Linux OS). Shows the list of activities and the time spent on them (surfing, development, testing, study). Each activity has different badges. Dark theme.

Curieux #bug dans #Nautilus

Pas encore certain que cela en soit un : rien dans les #logs et corrélation n'est pas causalité mais...

Chaque fois que je branche le #Fairphone #Murena à un port #usb et que je lance Nautilus, le logiciel démarre bien mais la fenêtre n'apparaît pas.

Je débranche le mobile, relance nautilus et là la fenêtre est bien dessinée.

Thanks to @CleoMenezesJr's neat little GNOME Shell weather extension, I know that today's temperature has plummeted to somewhere between "FuckFuckFuck" cold and "Fuuuuuuuuck!" cold on the XKCD 526 measurement scale, and that I should avoid going outside if I can :blobcatcoffee:

Индикация раскладки клавиатуры подсветкой — решение для GNOME

Несмотря на весь технический прогресс IT, мне за всё время так и не удалось повстречать убедительное решение проблемы ввода «ghbdtn» вместо «привет» или «lf» вместо «да» — путаницы с раскладкой клавиатуры при наборе текста. Предлагаю свой вариант — менять в зависимости от раскладки цвет всей подсветки клавиатуры. С таким подходом куда бы вы ни смотрели перед компьютером, подсветка будет хорошо заметна периферийным зрением, и вы всегда будете знать какая раскладка выбрана. Я опишу реализацию решения для среды рабочего стола GNOME, проверенное на дистрибутивах Fedora 43 и Ubuntu 24.04.

« We’ve added this rule because, over the past two months, we have been receiving many new extensions that use AI to create GNOME Shell extensions with large amounts of unnecessary code. In some cases, we are even receiving AI-generated replies when asking for explanations during the review process. »

[projet] rnb-panel

Mise à jour de mon extension pour #GnomeShell pour l'adapter à #Gnome 49.

L'extension permet de faire quelques petits trucs comme l'affichage des applications favorites dans la top bar ou le switch de workspace à l'aide de la molette de la souris.

Y'all owe a huge amount of gratitude to @jamie for playing along with my evil schemes and persevering through a whole year for this seemingly trivial merge request: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-schemas/-/merge_requests/93

…to allow #GNOMECalendar, #GNOMEShell, @EvolutionGnome and other apps to finally let you use a custom "first day of the week" independently from your language or geographic location!

See the plan here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/160#note_1872970 — Who will first implement it in GNOME Calendar? MRs welcome!

POW POW POW !

En voilà une évolution / regression toute chelou dans #GnomeShell : un bouton dans mon extension qui ne faisait plus rien quand on click dessus !

Et la correction - trouver sur le discourse de Gnome, est vraiment chelou elle aussi, du genre mais pourquoi il faut faire ça ? 🤔
