This is one of the few apps I think should be the part of core gnome apps.

> Add a new «GetHostPaths» method to the Document portal, which allows mapping file descriptors to paths on the host system. This can be used by apps to show more meaningful file paths in the user interface.
Looking forward to this. If you’ve been bothered by /run
file paths in Flatpak apps before, you should do so as well, because this finally enables apps to show the «real» path instead.
Typing this comment from a Note 7 pro, from 2019. Other than lacking os updates, it serves me well for all my usecases.
For those who don't know, this feature will allow gnome to remember the positions of applications so they're restored when the app is started again.
From the AMA, someone suggested
Yeah some Up/Download + simple management API would be really nice. Since Proton is loved a lot among programmers, I'm very sure there'll be a lot of people in the community to create some implementation their own (including me)
And Andy(CEO) replied
This is actually good/important input. We went this direction with Proton VPN on Linux and the first version was a community built version which as OK. Eventually, we had to take the effort in-house to ensure it was sufficiently well maintained and keeping up with the latest features, but it was still a goo way to get started. We will indeed consider this for Proton Drive also, although it is a more complicated product (includes complex parts like sync engine and version conflict resolution logic, etc). -Andy
Also, when pointed about Henry,Andy replied
Yes, we know Henry, he should have access to the API specs/docs and he has a direct line of communication with us. -Andy
So all hope is not i would say. And i would prefer rclone and apps based over than than electron wrappers tbh.

Reading the STF news feels exciting after a few weeks of them not present. It makes me so happy that GNOME and Libadwaita, along with flatpaks are attracting a lot of developers into contriibuting and experimenting their ideas.
From Team:
Hi everyone,
We’re relentlessly working to improve Proton Drive’s performance across all platforms thanks to your valuable feedback.
This week ends with an update in Proton Drive’s encryption that increases single file upload by 140% on the macOS app.
If you haven’t already, you can download the Proton Drive macOS app here: https://proton.me/drive/download.
We recognize that we still need to address other optimizations and fixes. This improvement is yet another step in our commitment to deliver reliable, fast, and secure apps for you.
Let us know what you think, and please keep your feedback coming!

What surprised me was that the author of the feature is an employee of Volkswagen who has worked on this on their behalf.

I personally use the proton-vpn-gtk-app from AUR ( the 1.3 section from wiki ). And in cachyOS, i only had to do

I too use torrents if possiblez but sometimes, the movie we seek maynot be available or won't have enough seeders. Sites like this, and others mentioned in fmhy are useful at those times.

With the speed HDR prep works are going on, we probably get usable HDR in linux around 2025
When opening / saving files, you’ll now be presented with a window similar to the main window of Files. The new file picker is actually part of Files, so it utilizes a lot of existing code. It’s also adaptive, and a lot more open for changes than the one built into GTK.
Kerala have a big contribution to this since all the school IT labs + government offices here use ubuntu or its slightly modified versions. Wish if every state did so.
This was the distro that introduced me to linux, followed by raspbian. Brings so much memories.
Tbh, this is just one of the many things that will lead to stable HDR support. But its nice to see these get solved one step at a time.
This branch implements support for transforming SDR (sRGB) to a HDR enabled output, while allowing HDR content to stay intact.
Roughly what it does is, when HDR mode is enabled via the experimental property, all the stage views that represents outputs where HDR actually managed to be enabled starts to composite in a linear variant of the target color space (which will be BT.2020) via an intermediate framebuffer. Each thing being painted should then transform its pixels to fit in this color space, using an EOTF, a color space mapping matrix and luminance adaptation.
Glad they also started to include images which makes easy to really understand the changes, especially the UI related ones.
GNOME Bug Bounty Program bug bounty program details
From €500 to €10,000 depending on criticality. For now only GLib is in scope but we will expand the list of modules and advertise as the program grows.
If you are a GNOME or freedesktop module maintainer and would like your module to join the pilot program; please get in touch.
In partnership with YesWeHack and Sovereign Tech Fund.
This picture somehow reminds me of Mad Max movies.
I think GNOME 47 would be a big one, and my favourite.
Nvidia users will finally be able to use the superior display server
Good news for those who want to run their system Wayland only.
This is part of the Android release for Firefox 127.0.2.
Please leave a comment on Bug : Android idle battery drain due to Firefox if you still experience this issue after updating Firefox and restarting your phone:
Gnome 47 will be a massive upgrade for sure. And everything I have read are only improvements and not regressions.Many of generally unnoticed ones like in the area of accessibility, thanks to STF.
-
Fixed an issue where YouTube playback may experience stalling under certain conditions.
-
Fixed an issue where the Private Window icon was displayed in the taskbar on Windows when browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled was set to false.
Nightly can be configured by advanced testers to use custom prompts and any compatible chatbot, such as llamafile, which runs on-device open models, including open-source ones. We are excited for the community to share interesting prompts, chatbots, and models as we make this a better user experience. We are also looking at how we can provide an easy-to-set-up option for a private, fully local chatbot as an alternative to using third-party providers.
I think they could've waited until they properly tried implementing a local llm. Anyway glad to know that we have options and gonna try this.
It is a matrix client. It is maintained by element team itself and still in beta. You can read more and view the source code in the Github repo
