Years ago, while searching for a nice and simple music player in Libadwaita, I came across Amberol.
Simple and does its job.
I have tried other music players in #Libadwaita, but none of them have really convinced me as much as Amberol (I still respect the devs and their work!)
For many years on Linux, from 2015 to 2023, I used Audacious, but I preferred to find something nicer and more in tune with the #GNOME design.
I have a question now, what music player do you use? (not necessarily in Libadwaita)
I just want to say, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, fuck #Gnome, Gnome devs, and their fucking piece of shit #libadwaita and anti-theming bullshit.
Ephraims Wochenrückblick: KW 19, 2025
In KW 19 ist in der FOSS-Welt einiges los gewesen. Von Linux Mint über GNOME zu Servo.

Linux Mint 22.2 Modernises its Default Theme
More details on the makeup of the upcoming Linux Mint 22.2 release have been shared, including its codename (for those who track those). Linux Mint 22.2, which is expected to be released in July or August, is named ‘Zara’, continuing project lead Clem’s codename convention of using female names in (somewhat) alphabetical order. I say ‘somewhat’ since Linux Mint 22.1 release was ‘Xia‘, yet Linux Mint 22.2 is ‘Zara‘ – not sure what Yara, Yasmin, Yvette, Yvonne and Yelena did wrong. Perhaps Clem went a dodgy date one time… It’s not the name of the the next release most Linux

Mission Center 1.0 ist da. Der Systemmonitor für GNOME bietet nun SMART-Auswertung via UDisks, GPU-Überwachung auf dem Raspberry Pi, Netzwerk-Stats pro Prozess und Dark-Mode-Umschaltung. Das Programm macht einen super Eindruck und kann eine Alternative zum offiziellen Systemmonitor von GNOME sein: https://linuxundich.de/gnu-linux/mission-center1-0-systemmonitor-fur-gnome/
Finally got around to tagging and releasing my side project of last year to flathub. It's pretty basic at the moment. But hopefully it's already useful to someone.
As part of our volunteer-driven accessibility initiative in GNOME Calendar, and for the first time in the 10+ years of Calendar's existence, we finally completed and merged the first step needed to have a working calendar app for people who rely on keyboard navigation. This merge request in particular makes the event widgets focusable with navigation keys (arrow left/up/right/down) and activatable with space/enter. This will be available in GNOME 49.
Most of GNOME Calendar's layout and widgets consist of custom widgets and complex calculations, both independently and according to other factors (window size, height and width of each cell, number of events, positioning, etc.), so these widgets need to be minimal to have as little overhead as possible. This means that these widgets also need to have the necessary accessibility features reimplemented or even rethought, including and starting with the event widgets.
We also hope to get other parts of GNOME Calendar accessible before GNOME 49, but I can't promise anything at the moment. We did start working with making the month view accessible: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/564
Since Upscaler has just reached 150,000 installs on Flathub, I'm releasing Upscaler 1.5.0! Upscaler is an app that allows you to upscale images locally, securely, and completely offline.
Thanks to @zoeyTheWitch's wonderful contribution, this release introduces the long overdue functionality to load multiple images at once and add them to the queue. This avoids having to load and add each image to the queue, which will significantly speed up the process of adding images to the queue.
The entire async and threading model was ported to the asyncio
and threading
modules, thanks to the long *await*ed (pun very much intended) asyncio
integration in PyGObject that was made available recently.
Loading images has become much faster and smoother, while using less memory as a direct result of the asyncio
and threading
port.
This release also makes saving the resulting images completely optional. Additionally, there is now a copy button to copy images without saving them. As such, the process to upscale images has gotten more straightforward than ever – just load the image, set the desired scaling factor and the image type.
The progress rows have gotten a redesign to make them more reminiscent to typical rows with progress bars.
You can get Upscaler 1.5.0 on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/io.gitlab.theevilskeleton.Upscaler
Praca nad apką idzie dalej, oto drobne demko tego, co mam zrobione do tej pory. Mam sporo rozmaitych bugów, w oczy rzucają się brakujące ikony (podejrzewam, że może to kwestia uprawnień flatpaka?) czy muszę coś zrobić z pobieraniem filmów, bo o ile na tym filmiku wszystko ładnie działa, to filmy z różnych instancji działają... Różnie. Nie pokazuję też tutaj tube.pol.social z tego względu, że API nie zwraca mi streamingPlaylists z listą streamków .m3u8 w różnej rozdzielczości, żebym mógł ładnie odtwarzać dany film, gdzie jak testuję API w przeglądarce, to wszystko działa, zatem nie wiem, dlaczego mojemu klientowi tego nie zwraca. Jeżeli uda mi się skończyć pierwszą działającą wersję apki z pobieraniem feeda, prostym wyszukiwaniem i odtwarzaniem filmów z wybranej przez użytkownika instancji, to udostępniam apkę i jej kodzik do testowania oraz wrzucam filmik z jej pokazówką (może się przy okazji otworzę i zamienię z dwa słowa :P) #linux #development #python #gnome #gtk #libadwaita #peertube
Finally managed to get #OIDC post-login redirects to specific "URLs" (well, #libadwaita `NavigationView` tags, to be precise) to work. That was quite a bit more complex than I expected it to be!
