#gnome

I'm using #Gnome as my Linux desktop environment, and with custom hotkeys and a few extensions, it's really efficient. My favourite extensions are "Dash to Panel", "Tiling Assistant", "Custom Hot Corners Extended", "Focus Changer", and "Pano Clipboard Manager".

Wicker work palaquin
with purple velvet lining,
circular ant farms for wheels.
Tows a cart of death and dining,
bots reap corpses, bring meals.
Wood gears, atop bamboo trusses.
To honor this occasion
throngs came in solar buses,
before the whole nation -
The King of Gnomes,
in the Royal Carriage,
to renew the vows,
of an ancient marriage,
regally winks and bows,
to his lovely Gnome Queen.
He's finally coming home
if you know what I mean.

Experimenting with showing custom icons for stations. Inspired a bit from our highway shield rendered (derived from OpenStreetMap Americana)

gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-m

It's making use of the "network:wikidata" OSM tag.

Currently rendering these icons in map view itself is not tested (this needs an extra addition to our planetiler generator for the vector tiles to be run in the next import).

Update on the #GNOME "suspended" window state not firing when obscuring windows: it turns out to be multiple bugs :blobsweats:

* The bug affecting #GNOMEWeb / #WebKitGTK presumably remains a #Mutter bug in handling subsurfaces: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/

* The heisenbug part of the issue I was seeing where even gnome-system-monitor was not responding to obscuring surfaces turns out to be caused by the "Dim Background Windows" extension for #GNOMEShell … I reported it here: github.com/stephane-13/gnome-s

My experience with #FlashDrives recently has been mixed. I have no problem in encrypting them with #LUKS, using #cryptsetup or with formatting a partition with #Btrfs, for instance, using #gparted and doing other tinkering with #Gnome #disks. But the problem has been with the actual drives themselves. The cheaper ones seem to have quite a few bad sectors, etc. and so they’re not really reliable for medium term storage.

I'm running the @gnome shell desktop for the first time in a long time, I absolutely see the appeal now. When it came out originally I was not at all on board, I get it now. Little touches like syncing my Google calendar are nice to have.

Where we disagree is still the desktop icon situation. Thankfully there's an extension for that, I think for all the disagreements Canonical does have some nice ideas.

I want a GNOME extension that lets me put a note up on the top bar.

Really I just want a gentle reminder of "the thing I'm supposed to be working on" to combat my ADHD, because otherwise my general work process looks something like this:

1. Start working on a presentation for work
2. Decide I should put an image of a fish in the presentation to illustrate a point
3. Look up images of fish online
...
4. Realize I'm reading on a web page talking about the feeding patterns of carnivorous Pacific Ocean fish
5. Look up at the clock and realize an hour has passed

EDIT: The "One Thing" extension is *exactly* what I was looking for!
