Here comes #Fractal 7, with extended #encryption support and improved accessibility. Server-side key backup and account recovery have been added, bringing greater security. Third-party verification has received some bug fixes and improvements. Amongst the many accessibility improvements, navigability has increased, especially in the room history. But that’s not all we’ve been up to in the past three months. Read the full release notes at https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Fractal
FWIW I think run0 is a great idea, and I'd like to propose we deprecate admin-by-default sudo in Fedora Linux*. But I think this is a feature-parity requirement for us to do that.
* remove %wheel from the config, don't ship on desktops (at least) by default, update examples in docs, and _maybe_ add an alias that suggests trying run0 if someone types sudo.
come use instant messaging, it'll be fun! you just have to pick your preferred platform: - silicon valley enshitification machine - nazis and grifters - questionable privacy policies - barely a MVP - unapologetic walled garden - less honest about being mostly a walled garden - Unable to decrypt message. - 2005 called, they wanted their messaging protocol back - 1995 called, they wanted their messaging protocol back
@tay At this point, shimming SSL/TLS in to IRC and XMPP and giving the clients a modern redesign are more attractive options than the mainstream ones in use these days 💀 Maybe we should go back to Mumble for game voice chat 🤔
Various tools (including: systemd-nspawn, systemd-dissect, RootImage= in service files) have been updated to make use of this new IPC service, and thus can now operate without privileges. Or in other words: there's now unprivileged systems-npsawn containers. Yay!)
And that's all for today. See you soon for the 8th installment of this series.
Come and help us maintain and enhance a fully open-source operating system and cloud stack that has been battle-tested in very large production environments.
There are plenty of interesting problems to solve, all the way from writing device drivers and debugging early boot issues, to writing new UIs in Rust.
I think we're a pretty friendly team to work alongside too ;)

Stages of learning about color: - It's as simple as arr-gee-bee! - YCbCr, what's that? That's crazy, why'd anyone do that. - electro-opti...what-now? - Blending must happen in optical space, everything else is WRONG! I know this! (Nope.) - Nits are nits, right? Nope. - I know most of the terms, I can compute and talk about stuff. (knows enough to be dangerous) - Huh, that's a curious demonstration. - Stimulus <-> color... no? Not even a little bit? Please? - I've no idea what I'm doing. - ...TBC
@imthehumanoid The poll needs a fifth choice of "I think I might of met someone who was learning Esperanto, but that was a few decades ago and I only have vague memories of that now." 😃
Time for your daily dose of #RustLang complaints. Yep, the ecosystem is doing great.
#UV depends on tokio-tar library. Tokio-tar is broken on #PowerPC, doesn't have a bug tracker (!) and seems to be quite dead, with a bunch of PRs ignored since 2022 (last activity mid-2023). Nevertheless, I've filed a PR to fix PowerPC, with little hope that it'll be merged, released and that we could get UV working on PowerPC.
On top of that, it seems that tokio-tar was forked in early 2021 from async-tar. It doesn't seem to have synced the few commits from 2021, and async-tar is dead since late 2021. But at least it has a bug tracker to keep track of how dead it is.
Rewriting stuff in Rust is great. Maintaining it afterwards for the sake of reverse dependencies isn't.

It's so frustrating to see Microsoft copy inventions from the Linux world and act like they're new. Ads in the start menu? Come on, we had that in Ubuntu back in 2012 already, you're late to the party *again*.
To be fair, it's not really new on Windows either. Not sure if that was already introduced with Win8, but Win10 definitely had ads for stuff from Windows Store (like Candy Crush or Disney+) in the start menu
I was curious about how the new vulkan-based GSK renderer that shipped with gnome 46 worked so I took a peek using renderdoc. Here is a breakdown animation of each draw call (highlighted with the wireframe overlay):
@afranke
Cool! Will definitely give it a try.
