One thing that I think we've lost over the last 20 years is "audio cues" #linux #foss #kde #gnome #opensource -- the desktop used to give a lot more audio feedback as to the events & status of events.
Empty the recycle bin? It had s simple audio cue play
Copy a folder? You have a audio cue to communicate success.
New email? Cue AOL charming & cringy "You've got mail.wav"
OS Startup? You feel like you are getting excited to get something done withe Windows XP - 7 and early 2000s Ubuntu startup sounds.
I think this principle could be taken so much farther -- perform a #rsync Why not have a audio cue for both Success.ogg and Failure.ogg -- or what about #polkit password verification, you are multi tasking on the phone or doing something in your office -- having a cue to redirect your attention to that you need to enter a password would be helpful.
Same thing goes for #pacman #yay and #paru in #archlinux
There are times you are compiling a program and it needs extra privileges to install but you don't notice it -- it would make a huge difference if we had a hook system and could Enable/Disable audio cues & notifications -- that would be a huge improvement.
I could really see this also bringing a lot of value in #linuxphone space, with #ubuntutouch #postmarketos #sxmo and others.
Its really hard to know what your missing when its been so long since you had it.
Plug in a USB Flash Drive? Audio Cue
Connect / Disconnect your phone to your computer? Audio Cue
Remote SSH Connection logs into your machine? Notification & Audio Cue.
With the right sound packs there is so much room for improvement -- #steamdeck #steamos v3 does a good job with this too giving subtle cues as you navigate the UX, startup, shutdown, etc...
We officially revived the developer website!
https://www.gimp.org/news/2022/10/16/gimp-developer-website-rewrite/
It should help for new contributor inboarding and plug-in developers. It's still work-in-progress and quite incomplete but published in a release early, release often logic.
Thanks to @patdavid (who made our main website and pixls.us), Jehan (@zemarmot project and GIMP maintainer), Robin Swift (new contributor who helped us a lot here) and Lukas Oberhuber (macOS package maintainer)!

@splitshockvirus CISCO Certified Network Assistant? The reading behind that class is obnoxious big time.
@ribalinux I was unaware there is now a distro with the same name as https://amarok.kde.org how strange.
@yhancik honestly not the worst GeoCities I've seen, the content is, but it could use one of those right to left text scrolls that is in #HTML spec and fly's by obnoxiously fast and a 256 color #GIF background of stars or something making the text unreadable. Maybe throw in some obnoxious fonts and tables that exceed 100% of the viewport too lol
Can I subscribe to hashtags on #mastodonapp #fediverse ? I would really like to be able to subscribe to things like #mechanicalkeyboards #linux #steamdeck and many other content feeds.
@Retrograde I'm beginning to see a pattern between Google & Canonical, I see there's a KilledByGoogle.com maybe there should be a ...
In case you missed it, the PixelFed official app for iPhone is out now in public beta testing.

You can report problems with the app to its Github page's Issues section at https://github.com/pixelfed/mobile-app/issues
The official PixelFed Android app isn't out yet, but there is a third party PixelFed app called @PixelDroid which you can download from @fdroidorg.
@pixelfed is there a web link?
@beachscrat@mastodon Are you pretty happy with ace trucks? Would you rank them as your #1 goto?
Using #PipeWire, #WirePlumber and a #RaspberryPi, you can create an audio bridge between a #Bluetooth device & an analog speaker system, breathing new life into your old speakers. Here's how: https://col.la/pwrpi #OpenSource #Linux #Coding #HowTo #RPI
@thunderbird Thunderbird has come a long way, thank you for the labor of love & awesomeness coming downstream
We absolutely love seeing how helpful the FOSS / Thunderbird community is here on the Fediverse. Unlike every other social platform we're on, you're constantly helping each other with issues.
And we sincerely appreciate that, since it's basically one person handling all the comms.
Rock on, Thunderbird family!
