Greetings Programs!!

In case you didn’t know, @planifyapp Quick Add has some keyboard shortcuts, like p1, p2, etc., that let you add priorities more quickly. I tweaked the animation a bit to make this effect more noticeable and for the user to see it.

While the #matrix network is going through a major version room upgrade to version 12 (https://matrix.org/blog/2025/08/security-release/) you might wonder if #chatty works with that room version. Seems so:

Working on a font size selector for @planifyapp, it works, but I feel like it’s missing something. Any idea on how it could be improved?

#Valgrind is such an important tool. Especially when working with c libraries. Great work on #ghostty getting #gtk actually function for it.

Playing around with the drag-and-drop ordering — I think it feels a bit smoother and cleaner now.

Bit of a late start tonight, but there's always @pidgin 3.0 work to do regardless of what time anyone's clock says!

Tonight we're going to hopefully finish up the first draft of your "migrating from purple 2" guide for developers. It's been interesting trying to recap everything we've done in the past 9+ years... Anyways, come on by!

Got an email some weeks ago from someone asking how to run or build an 25 years old Tetris clone that I created Was very confused as to why, but after some back and forth it turs out it's someone that collects Tetris clones! (nearly 800). Have look at their channel! https://www.youtube.com/@Qlairemoscribbi/videos mine is the latest video (GTK Tetris)

Post 1/2
I'm presently using #debian #trixie with #kde

Due to the peculiarities of various apps and display managers, I have to make some compromises.

If I use #wayland, I get fractional scaling of apps, including most apps running under #xwayland.
But I get playback issues in Kodi with random square blobs on the screen every 15 or so minutes. And I have to force #kodi into x11 mode anyway to stop the issue of #kodi briefly showing the desktop between video playback.

If I use #x11, then I lose fractional scaling for #gtk apps so must run at 200% on my 27" 4K monitor, so now I have to reduce fonts in #kde to make things look sensible.
But I get an issue in #thunderbird which causes the application window to be empty, and I have to force close the app as it does not recover.

Sicelo brought #phosh to the venerable #N900 using #wlroot's pixman renderer as backend. It's not snappy as the device is too underpowered for that but awesome that it works !

We're back at it tonight working towards @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 4!! We've got a bunch of random stuff to get to tonight and maybe I'll even start writing some docs...?

#gtk4 #gtk #libadwaita #rust app developers: how do I make my app build faster?

Rust Analyzer can't even keep up! I'm over 20K lines already of components and thinking about migrating to python for the UI and rust for the business logic...
