When you change longstanding placements of navigational links, esp a social media site, it really can screw up people that rely on #a11y #UI #GUI, like moving Notifications, probably the second most clicked link in #Mastodon from under Home to other placements down on the list.

I hope they reconsider this in the final V4.4.0 release. Keep Notifications in the number two spot.

#MastoAdmin

I'm reading GitHub #34910, #34987, #35017, #34986, #35029, #35065, #35067 and #35072 to see reasoning

Mastodon Notification in the list is the second row, under the home button

@ramin_hal9001 OFC this mostly considers stuff in /etc/, /opt/, ... and is intended to be an explicit "opt-in" - style configuration managment.

For me it's more of a way to find a better & simpler alternative to #Ansible that doesn't require me to install something on the target #Server (or "#EdgeComputing node") and "just works"...

I need a fix;

When waking from sleep, my laptop's display seems to freeze on sway.

I can hear notifications continuing to run, and other than the GUI display the laptop is fine. I can switch to a TTY and kill sway, switch back and login just fine.

Nothing I do sees to wake the GUI except pkilling sway and restarting it.

OS: Debian Sid
Kernel: 6.16.0-rc1
Sway: v1.11

@atpfm There was a lot of consternation from John @siracusa about parts of the screen that were neither part of the active area nor outside the active area …

Yet this is not only part of the history of paper documents — margins on written pages, typeset books, and Microsoft Word — but it was always a part of computer display systems

(My first ever Wikipedia edit decades ago was for en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overscan …)

The early text-mode displays always had an area of the active signal that was not used for data; when 8-bit gave way to 16-bit PCs like Commodore Amiga and Apple IIgs, this “border” area became controllable and a color could be selected (via text-mode BIOS-style settings, or graphic-mode Control Panels).

And all the way into the present day, even 15 years after the death of the CRT, video editing still enforces the concepts of Action Safe and Title Safe. Historically these were huge with CRTs at 5% and 10%, then got tweaked as aspect ratios changed, then thinned out as flat panels made screen geometry more predictable.

But it never went to zero — Title Safe in particular will never reach the edge of the display, and you will never find a logo (or watermark) touching the edge of the display.

However! You still have to DESIGN to the edges, or fill it with active signal. “Shoot and protect”, as they’d say in filmmaking.

You HAVE to put something in the edges, whether it’s an adjacent graphic extending from the inner areas to the ends, or just a piece of background vision.

This kind of “wasteful” image production is completely normal outside the computer Iindustry, and is in fact universally applied in every other industry. You MUST fill in more pixels that you’ll never use, and possibly never see, in any canvas containing graphic design.

“Sorry but it’s true”, as Ja’mie would say

Kennt ihr das, ihr wollt Kollegen an Git ranführen, aber nicht in einem Hardcore-Entwickler-Kontext?

Mein Ansatz wäre, lasst sie in Ruhe mit der Kommandozeile und nehmt GitExtensions, VScode (bzw. VSCodium ;))...
Dann müsste genau das nur jmd. in ein paar Minuten gut erklären, ohne zu sehr auszuschweifen.

Das absolut perfekte Video hab ich noch nicht gefunden. Aber "Einführung in Git mit Visual Studio Code. Versionskontrolle leicht gemacht" (youtube.com/watch?v=7fIP5aM6hy)

I have spent a few evenings tinkering with the theming system of @novelwriter. The themes are defined in config files.

Since the Qt QColor object has a lighter(), darker() and alpha() modifier function, I added a way to refer to previously defined colours by name and with a L150 or D150 modifier here meaning 150% lighter or darker, and just a number for opacity from 0 to 255.

It makes it a lot easier to make themes!

A screenshot of the text of a config file, showing variables and assigned hexadecimal colour values at the top, and further down those same colour variables are referenced by name, a colon, and a D or L with a number behind for lighter or darker shades.
