We are pleased to announce the release of GNOME 50! You can read about what our contributors have been working on at https://release.gnome.org/50
We’d like to use this new release as an opportunity to thank all of the contributors who made it happen. ❤️
Let us know what you think!
The US National Academies of Sciences refused to remove a climate change chapter from the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, despite pressure from Republican attorneys general.
"Excuse me, your highness" the frog said. "May I implore you to give me a peck on the cheek?"
"Not a kiss?" the princess asked.
"I would not presume. A peck will turn me back into a prince for a day, so I can find a bow and arrows."
"Whatever for?"
"I'll kill the heron who's eating my friends!"
In our latest release, we've integrated a vector database into our on-device machine learning infrastructure, making search noticeably faster and people suggestions more accurate.
All of our work is open source @ https://github.com/ente-io/ente
I still can't even that my now nearly 80 year old mom has been on Fedora on a thinkpad e520 (2011) for a decade and it all just works.
I checked her laptop just now and it's fully up to date on fedora 43, so she's done like 20 version upgrades autonomously too. The battery has degraded a little but the whole thing still works fine and she's very happy with it.
This is how things should be, this is peak computing tbh.
OpenBSD adventures, day two. My MacBook with arm64 is running fine under OpenBSD, but there is no video acceleration, so it can't play full-screen videos.
I started to think what I can do about it, and I realised that we had a few e-waste Chromebooks bought for $20 apiece. It's 1.5GHz Celeron, and it is as dodgy as laptops get: it is spray-painted, it is made of cheap plastic, and the keyboard and the touchpad are both kind of only look like real ThinkPad but there were so many corners cut making it that I can't type "root" without it missing a letter or two every other time. This is what kids apparently were using in schools ten years ago or so?
Some things are glacially slow, but Xfce4 is quite usable, and it can play YouTube in 720p. Everything the laptop has to offer seems to be working (even webcam).
It works incredible for an ultra-low-end device from 2013.
Caught this #squirrel splooting in one of the trees behind our backyard a few days ago. Sometimes you just need a good sploot. Temperatures here hit 90F (32C) earlier in the week, they’ve since come down to more seasonable coolness, but the sustained summer heat is not far off 😞.
