@kolev @charliemac @daviwil Is chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer enabled?

@kolev @charliemac @daviwil it's very likely, screensharing works through pipewire.

@kolev @charliemac @daviwil Both browsers support screensharing, in chromium you may need to enable enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer .

Also, some dbus, pipewire and xdg-desktop portals setup also required. In RDE it should work out of the box.

Do you remember that Guix Social is tomorrow (January 16)?

Guess who is giving a talk on modern and extensible Guile IDE? :)

@untrusem @bookwar I found a cool functionality in discourse forum platform: they have a chat, which has a flow from chat messages to forum threads. You just select a conversation and turn it into thread with automatic links back to the chat.

Also, I found they have ActivityPub plugin and possibility to interact with the platform by email. So it potentially can bring all sub-communities in one place.

Just thinking out loud.

Paying taxes becoming more challenging. Previously it was just 2 input fields and it was in English. 😅

I start patch review session in two hours. Join me and let's talk about RDE features, Package Propagation, Guix and Guile.

@cnx @shom Yes, I did nothing, just plugged it in.

@shom obsbot meet 2. I fell in love with it because it looks sturdy and compact, turned out it has a very good image quality out of the box too.

I'm really satisfied with my new webcam and its quality. Excited like a child!

How about a stream tomorrow on how I review RDE contributions? Talks on Guix, Guile and Libre Software are included.

ActivityPub for forums looks neat!

Today I realized that I'm afraid of RDE growing into something bigger. Can people stop contributing to and talking about the project, please? I feel anxious 🤫

@jgart's talk about RDE on 38C3: Illegal Instructions (2024):

A few months ago I was looking for a book about compiler construction, but for languages with thin syntax like lisp (so there a very little emphasis on grammars and parsing).

Where do you think I find today a few such books?

I started to prepare a talk for guix social. The title is "Arei/Ares: A modern, extensible IDE for Guile Scheme".

I have a preliminary plan on what things to cover and in which order, but if you already have any questions send them, please.

One question I already received is:
- Why nREPL protocol and not Slime's swank?

Nicolas Graves (one of the core RDE contributors, PhD and just a cool dude) will be giving a talk about RDE on FOSDEM 2025 🥳

Our FOSS projects start getting momentum. I hope such occasions will make them even better.

P.S. I'm really curious to see RDE from his perspective.

Today is my birthday. I did my morning routine, merged a couple patches, wrote a few emails, baked cookies 🍪 and now I guess is time to get some fun! :partyparrot:

Have a great weekend, everyone! See you in a bit.

The work we do last a few months utilizes Guile Hoot (Scheme compiled to WASM) and looks like this.

Is it most innovative technology stack ever used for genetics research?
