I have another thing to the list of hardest things in computer science, maybe even a new #1: reproducing the regression outside CI.

@mcc fwiw there's literal studies showing the exact same thing

"This paper provides evidence from the US and Denmark that managers with an [MBA] reduce their employees' wages. [...] These business managers show no greater ability to increase sales or profits."

@alice @KekunPlazas there’s an immutable variant called Aeon

@hund luckily not. The repair command actually worked, which is not what I was expecting after reading a bunch of comments about it

@hund I was tricked by Fedora switching to it by default into thinking *maybe* it would be usable after 15 years of development. Guess the joke's on me.

@xanathar that would imply god uses AMD GPUs for rendering the universe, incidentally

It also causes a litany of blasphemies going faster and faster to the point of being a continuous stream that could, after certain conditions are met, cause god to reboot the universe

I just love waking up to a desktop that does not fully resume after suspend, requiring a hard reboot, that causes a corruption on one of the btrfs partitions, that drops me into a recovery console with a kernel trace.

Wakes me up faster than a double espresso.

@diegovsky @zbrown @gnome You probably want to read this: https://www.bassi.io/articles/2023/08/23/the-mirror/

The presentation is going to be slightly more to the point

@Kriptolix Not really, no. If panda3d can render to a GL texture, you can use GtkGLArea; or if it can render to a dmabuf, you can use a custom widget and a GdkDmabufTexture. Otherwise, no: GTK has to be in charge of the final rendering, and cannot defer a region of the window to something else

@Kriptolix it by “integrate” you mean embed: you really can’t do that with Wayland; and GTK4 does not have “foreign windows” wrapper any more

@slaine considering that I had just emerged from a 4hr call, I would hardly notice a crash

The Rust GCC backend can now fully bootstrap the Rust compiler. Excellent work from FractalFir in their GSoC (which starts in one week XD).

@michaelkrog "out of context"? You mean the search button at the top left? Also: "search as you type" is literally one of the most followed patterns of the GNOME interface guidelines: https://developer.gnome.org/hig/patterns/nav/search.html

I'm begging application developers on my hands and knees: please, please don't add a whole ass menu bar to your window if you only have a single menu, and especially if you only have a "Help > About" menu. You really don't have to do it. This is not Windows 3.11, we can have nice things.

@gkrnours @malcircuit I think the shuttle that comes with the ISS model is as small as you can go: https://brickset.com/sets/21321-1

@fabian that's a good question, and if somebody was seriously interested in this feature upstream, I'd strongly encourage them to do a quick diary study with a few people and an installation that comes with the shell extension, and then bring the results to the Design team

@fabian @magitian as it happens, I wrote this on r/gnome just yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/1kr84t4/comment/mtctgrj/

These are the leftovers, by the way. The breakfast (for two) was six other pancakes, two knobs of butter, and an ungodly amount of maple syrup

Woke up super early for a work conference call, so once it finished I thought: might as well make some pancakes for breakfast…
