Yesterday I've added quite a few screenshots to the #guix #weblate component, to illustrate some of the strings of the graphical installer.

You can help by going to https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/guix/guix/ select your language and click the big "search" button on top of the page. Type "location:gnu/installer" in the search bar (without quotes)

Or go to https://translate.codeberg.org/translate/guix/guix/oc/?q=location%3Agnu%2Finstaller but replace "oc" by your language code.

Do screenshots help? Is the effort worth it? Let me know!

Reading #Guix-devel mailing list I learned that #Codeberg is promoting the agit flow as a way to reduce resource usage. I've been using the agitjo package. Happy to see flows that emphasis commits being promoted!

AGit workflow

for a decade I used an #HPPrinter that now refuses to work. My wife got an #Epson ET-3850 which refuses to work of my Linux, cups or Gnome (not even printing test pages). I've run flatpak and have the scanner working but can't seem to get the #printer to go. Can I do anything? this is with #Guix.

I don't think #guix should drop it. But if their goal is to record the consensus starting the process with a fully formed draft document seems the wrong way to go about it. Instead it should start with an overview for the situation + some exploratory questions. And then document what are the things that most participants agree on.

#autorandr is a utility program that lets you save and select various display configurations. E.g. a *mobile mode* where you use the laptop's built-in monitor and a *docked mode* where you use an external monitor.

autorandr-launcher is a little daemon which listens for #X11 RandR events and automatically applies the appropriate autorandr display profile when a change is detected (e.g. when a monitor is plugged in or unplugged).

Here's a tiny little PR to add an autorandr-launcher service to #Guix:

darkhttpd (https://unix4lyfe.org/darkhttpd/) is a cool alternative to `python -m http.server` to serve static files. Also already available as a #guix package!

Did I compile OpenTabletDriver for #Guix? Yes. Is it insanely cursed? Also yes.
