Thank you @sovtechfund ❤️

Auto complete coming to Workbench 🛠️

Besides writing GTK faster than light, I want to use it to help newcomers discover and learn about widgets and properties.

Thanks @andyholmes for the help!

I could play with this all day

Now with documentation and automatically suggest proposals

Sonny

@GTK congrats!

Thank you for the amazing toolkit and all the work that goes into it. ❤️

The progress made in the last year is astonishing

Highlights ✨:

• video/graphics offload
• new graphics renderer
• GtkAccessibleText
• fractional scaling support
• accessibility inspector

I highly recommend reading the GTK blog blog.gtk.org/

Are you experienced with GTK and Rust ? :gnome: ❤️ :rust:

We are looking to contract someone to work on the new GNOME Password Manager 🔑

We want it to become a core/default app and help secure millions of users.

You'll be working with the GNOME Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to building emancipatory technologies for everyone.

Please send resume / portfolio to stf@gnome.org

Boosts welcome :boost_love:

Workbench 46 is out! 🛠️

flathub.org/apps/re.sonny.Work

Actually it was a couple of hours ago before GNOME 46 but I didn't want to steal the show 😎

Here are the highlights 💡

Inline diagnostics for #Rust :rust: and #Python :python:

New Library demos: 📚

"Snapshot" to demonstrate one of GTK4 coolest feature.

"Dialog" and "Message Dialogs" to demonstrate libadwaita 1.5 new responsive dialogs.

26 demos ported to Python
5 demos ported to Vala

@sonny Congratulations on a successful release!

If you use, like or dislike Workbench, please let me know.

I'm always happy to get feedback and interested in understanding how Workbench can help you learn and build.

About the true purpose of systemd

I've been involved with #GNOME, #KDE, #freedesktop and #postmarketOS, ...

I've met @pid_eins and other prominent figures behind closed doors

I can confirm from first-hand experience that systemd is indeed a conspiracy to make better operating systems with Linux

#systemd #Linux #postmarketOS

@sonny @pid_eins I can't believe systemd would do this, I'm in shock.

Apex Dynamo

@sonny @pid_eins
Well, is a single big software to rule many aspects of a Linux distribution a good thing ?
I can't understand how it could be a great idea.
We tend to forget the "do one thing and do it well!"
I have nothing against systemd and its purposes but I would prefer simplicity over too many functionalities.

The Penguin of Evil

@sonny @pid_eins I still think using makefiles for init script ordering, state changes etc is more elegant 8)

I just realized Workbench is 2 years old 🎂

The first release just had a buggy GTK XML preview

It's a good reminder that

• Alone, I wouldn't have accomplished a 1/4 of what it is today
• The maintainer role is as much social as it is technical

• Making impactful things is a marathon, not a sprint
• Building software is an iterative process

We need help from #Linux #NVIDIA users :linux:

We are trying to reproduce and debug an issue with WebKit GTK

If you have rendering issues, specially with colors or blank page please reply with a screenshot, and we'll reach out for details.

Some example apps that are known to exhibit the issue

• Epiphany / GNOME Web
• Tangram
• Newsflash

Thanks for your help!

~Boost welcome :boost_love: ~

UPDATE: We got what we need - thank you all!

@sonny@floss.social Hi! I have some problems with GNOME Web. I don't know is it related to nvidia or not. First screenshot is GNOME Web, second is Firefox. Also, in GNOME Web, some of text on page looks blurry for me, when it's not in Firefox.

Stanford

@sonny About what kind of render issues do we talk about?

I’m Tired And Everything Hurts

@sonny Is this related to the issue with adding Online Accounts in GNOME throwing up a blank page when attempting to authenticate while using NVidia drivers?

I would assume that uses GNOME Web to attempt to display the login page.

Sonny

Alright I think I'm finally happy with the Workbench 46 demo for AdwDialog 🛠️

It's such a cool primitive for building apps. I hope the blob cat will make some people smile 😄

Dear #Fediverse

We are funding accessibility infrastructure on Linux :linux:

We are focusing on issues and regressions related to Wayland and Flatpak :wayland: :flatpak:

Please share your feedback and ideas, even if you're not sure if it's in scope 🤷

@sonny MS gets (and deserves) a lot of grief for many of their business practices, but they also deserve kudos for their dedication to accessibility. Especially in gaming. microsoft.com/en-us/store/b/ac

vincevlo

@sonny Dunno how, but I wish every electron app (VSCode, Slack, etc) was packaged on Flathub with the right options so that fractional scaling works on Wayland. I had to disable fractional scaling because of that, I don't want to hack every app launch options.

Zygmunt Krynicki

@sonny, are you interested in looking at accessibility regressions in snap packages as well?

Sonny

As part of our work to allow apps to register support for a specific URL domain;

Checkout @tbernard mockups for what a new unified “Open With” dialog would look like.

I'm very excited about this and might be able to deprecate my app Junction.

@sonny @tbernard I've always wanted a way to select different programs to open by selecting the file name on the terminal. So I wrote an imperfect gnome extension before. I really hope the official can realize this function.

@sonny @tbernard Hah, deprecating apps… So nice… 😉

I can vouch for @sonny as an excellent project manager. He's working closely with @gnome designers and developers.

I'm confident Sonny and the Foundation will make sure it's not a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it certainly is a fantastic one!

@sonny @XOrgFoundation @kde @gnome What's the plan?

Bizarreness of the day

Adobe uses Linux / GNOME in a new product demonstration.

@sonny disgusting

But its ok, you also need examples to show how immoral and unethical the industry can be. For sure all these companies run their cloud using #FLOSS tools too.

In any case, #FLOSS wins!

Da Scritch

@sonny this is for years ! Photoshop under wine was working perfectly, where crop/rotate tool under Window 2k before sp1 crashed it to black.
I wrote to a dev who told me they tried every time Photoshop to run under wine to be sure for being correctly supportes

Sonny

Are you working on #GNOME / #LinuxMobile / #freedesktop / #localfirst related things?

Want to meet and work with the community in and around #Berlin ?

We're having a Hackfest & GNOME 45 Release Party in #Berlin on the 16 and 17 of September.

DM me if interested.

@ju is working on Rust support in Workbench 🛠️

Exciting! 🦀

If someone is interested in learning #Rust from #Vala or #JavaScript, there will be plenty of demos in the Library to port.

You can follow @ju progress here github.com/sonnyp/Workbench/pu

Happy Birthday @gnome 🎂

Deepest gratitude to everyone who contributes 🙏

Special thanks to @federicomena and @Migueldeicaza for starting this adventure many people take joy, satisfaction, and comfort in 😌

It's not all sunshine and roses but let's remember why we do what we do:

Build a respectful and elegant computing experience for everyone.

There are millions of #GNOME users in the world who enjoy our work on a wide variety of devices.

Sonny

By the way, if you want to know more about the history of #GNOME I can totally recommend this talk by @blandford who's been around for a long time as well
