19 DAYS WITH NO INTERNET IN IRAN

⚠️ Update: The internet blackout in #Iran has entered its 19th day with international connectivity still unavailable after 432 hours to all but a chosen few.

As the world debates if or how the war should proceed, one voice is effectively missing: the voice of the Iranian people.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's wartime internet blackout has entered its 14th day with connectivity still at 1% of ordinary levels after 312 hours.

As authentic voices are silenced and civilians are left without vital updates, a steady flow of regime-approved content fills the void.

Had my first contribution to the gnome-shell project, it was a fun process :D

status/volume: Use default color for muted microphone indicator (!4001) · Merge requests · GNOME / gnome-shell · GitLab

The muted indicator status is currently hard to distinguish from the unmuted one. As there is no privacy concern when muted, don't apply the privacy-indicator styling in that...

"actually i don't like debian, i use devuan"

"ok"

"yeah, because systemd is terrible and i hate it so much, any distro that uses systemd is horrible and going against the unix philosophy and literally unusable"

"ok"

"systemd is completely counter to the goals of FOSS because it's too controlled by corporations. it's also way too bloated and takes up slightly more resources than alternative init systems. for me, saving every possible kilobyte of RAM is important"

"ok"

"which is why i only use dwm with no panel or anything else that would bloat up my screen too much. i do everything in the terminal except for when i go online, but i only go online to complain that systemd is a bad piece of software i don't like because that's my only hobby other than finding packages to delete off my system"

"ok"

I added a new CI check to Drum Machine, it now automatically checks if the .pot translation template file is up to date. If I forget to regenerate it after adding/changing translatable strings (which I usually do), it reminds me :D

You can add it to your own projects as well, just copy the translation-check job from the workflow file and change the paths!

We’ve published a new talk from the Debian 13 Release Party at Sharif University:
a presentation in Farsi by @revisto introducing the Persian GNOME community, its formation, and the many ways people can contribute to @gnome, from design and development to translation, extensions, and app creation.

If you're interested in GNOME, contribution pathways, or becoming part of the community, this talk is a great starting point.
