@forteller Jobber meg gjennom Circle-appene og GNOME-kjerneappene parallelt nå, så kommer definitivt til å ta fatt på Apostrophe en gang og! Tenker kanskje det er lurt å vente til GTK4-oppdateringen er forestående 😁

@forteller Apostrophe doesn't even use GTK4 and libadwaita yet, but it's nearing an update now.

@forteller I mean, it's a markdown file. It's already encoded in the same way as a text file, you can just rename it if you need to use it somewhere else 😄️

@runarcn Jeg har fortsatt en naiv tro på at oversettelsesarbeidet jeg gjør / koordinerer selv kan fylle hele systemet mitt med oversettelser av høy kvalitet en dag, men forstår at ikke alle holder ut med det. Er selv involvert i GNOME-prosjektet utenom oversettelser, og det hjelper nok en del på motivasjonen 🙂️

En av overraskelsene når jeg byttet, var at noen programmer i kommandolinjen faktisk har utdata/feilmeldinger på norsk. Akkurat dét kunne jeg vært foruten 😂️

@aral Isn’t the package name controlled by distributions? They could name it gnome-settings if they wanted to? 🙂

Ok, so apparently christmas soda isn’t an international thing? Has my life been a lie all this time?

#Christmas

Wayland by default in the future is a given, but what I'd really like to see is Firefox being decoupled from GTK stylesheets entirely and shipped with its stock style instead. The current obsession with shoehorning it into every desktop styling possible has, ironically enough, led to it being the most prominent element of inconsistency on a modern Fedora Workstation install.

#Firefox #GNOME #Fedora

Firefox with its stock look, proper rounded window corners and actual Wayland support feels like jumping 5 years ahead of how it's shipped by default currently.

#Firefox #GNOME #Fedora

I understand that posting on Mastodon won’t change anything, though, so does anyone here know where one should reach out to actually try to make this change happen?

Are you developing an app for #GNOME? Do you want a nice-looking app icon for it? Now it's super easy to request one. Just create an account on the GNOME GitLab instance and open an issue in our brand new App Icon Requests repository! Tip: If you put a little effort into pitching your app we might get to it quicker 😉️

@zicon This is based on GNOME's default icon set, so it better be :)

@flaki @aral Context, since some people probably haven’t read this XKCD:

I'd like to have a word with whoever decided to swap the Super and Fn key positions on the Thinkpad keyboard. It's messing my mind up when switching from my laptop to my desktop mechanical keyboard 😵💫️

Questionable UX decision of the week:

@norbu Might be worth mentioning that KDE uses a toolkit made by a company with 500+ paid employees, while GTK is developed in-house by a small team of volunteers. This didn’t take so long because someone said «it’s not needed», but because it basically required a rewrite of large parts of GTK, and GNOME isn’t a company that can order someone to work on specific things.
