GNOME GitLab Redirecting Some Git Traffic To GitHub For Reducing Costs

If you are cloning from a GNOME repository on their GitLab and now finding your Git traffic being redirected to GitHub, you are not alone

Debian 14 Plans to Axe GTK2, Leaving 139 Apps in Limbo

Debian's GNOME team plans to remove GTK2 from Debian 14 "Forky" by 2027, threatening FreePascal, Lazarus, and 137 other packages. Could Ardour's YTK fork save them?

The Daily Perspective

I have now spent a few hours on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/-/issues/927

Still don’t understand why the behavior of the horizontal and vertical boxes are not the same and why the fix in my test does not work in the gnome maps app …

Well I guess my only choice now is to read (and understand) the code from gtkboxlayout 🫥

Unused space when rendering opening hours (#927) · Issues · GNOME / gnome-maps · GitLab

The opening hours row appears to be just tall enough for the seven days of the week, but there are some cases in which the space isn't fully...

WLAN-Sicherheitslücke AirSnitch: Client-Isolation selbst in WPA3-Enterprise ausgehebelt

Die WLAN-Sicherheitslücke AirSnitch umgeht die WLAN-Client-Isolation, selbst WPA3-Enterprise ist betroffen.

TARNKAPPE.INFO

Nearly a year later, I find myself going back to this post and adding its settings to get a sane #scrollbar on #Firefox.

It's annoying that despite Mozilla dropping Motif for GTK+ in their browser back when they open-sourced their browser, they still didn't consider maybe using the native UI widgets that GTK+ provided?

My chosen GTK+ emulates a nice retro OS/2 theme, which is actually rather quite usable on a #tablet #touchscreen. It's not the classical Motif UI of historical Unix, but it's usable. Another good choice would be the classic MacOS UI… or maybe 90s era Windows. Make those a little beefier on a touchscreen and you'd have quite a usable UI for both desktops and touchscreens.

But… Firefox and Chromium UI devs know better apparently.
