I just voted in the GNOME 2026 elections. I am so honored (and priviliged!), that I met some of the candidates.

Don't forget to cast your votes, if you haven't done it yet.

With our changes to Phosh's first-boot in 0.55 and the recent changes in mobile settings we can now finally go full circle on immutable images:

Set up the initial user via systemd-homed
Perform OS upgrades from the mobile settings app using systemd-sysupdate

This landed in Phosh's nightly images already but will hopefully also become useful for other immutable phone distros like @postmarketOS #Duranium .

As the systemd org.freedesktop.sysupdate1 interface is bound to change to #varlink in 262 this is currently rather minimal and will be tweaked in future releases but it makes things already usable without having to resort to the command line.

Small detail but really nice to see: #Firefox on #linux finally (re-)landed rounded bottom corners, shipping in 153

We are announcing the dav2d project: a small, fast and portable decoder for the new AV2 codec, the successor to AV1 and the latest royalty-free open video codec from the @a4omedia

https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav2d

dav2d is the continuation of the work we started with dav1d, our AV1 decoder, and is developed by members of the VideoLAN community under the same BSD-style license.

Today, dav1d has reached 240kLoC of handwritten assembly. We will do the same for dav2d.

dav2d is the fastest AV2 decoder on all platforms :) Targeted to be small, portable and very fast; similar to dav1d, but for AV2.

The new version of Millipixels, now in crimson-updates-proposed, significantly improves the way photos are developed by default. No need to develop the RAWs on your own to get rid of that greenish retro look anymore. Time to update and show off your cats on the fedi 😺

Some neat #puregotk & #GStreamer hacks I've been exploring: #Multiplex, which allows you to do torrent watchparties with your friends & share the positions, playback etc. P2P, now has an initial version that uses GStreamer to play back the video in the app itself! No more need for MPV :)

Bonus: Subtitles work better now, too!
