You can now toggle file extension exports to either be uppercase or lowercase
This tickles the 'tism.
I have been looking for a sudoku app which allows me to use different symbols rather than numbers because sometimes the numbers themselves confuse me, so using random symbols helps to keep them arbitrary. After years of waiting I submitted a feature request for Open Sudoku and a couple of weeks later it was implemented. Years of waiting, a few weeks waiting after asking, just amazing. Open Source software is definitely the future, and the communities around Open Source project, while a little variable, are absolutely outstanding.
Open source is the modern marvel that nobody talks about. Like the industrial revolution or the building of the pyramids. I know it’s preaching to the choir on lemmy. Open source made the 21st century digital revolution.
Sometimes I wonder how much the average person can comprehend the scale of what has been accomplished over the past few decades. I’m sure they attribute it to the power of the corporations’ drive for profit. None of that would have happened without the combined effort of people around the world building out one software library or application at a time. There’s a behemoth underneath the shiny corporate tech products that is the real achievement.
Some say, born to late to yadda born to soon to whatever. Guy, we have lived in very interesting times. You just haven’t been looking. We’ve lived through the middle of something incredible. I’m sure Jim Ramses was super annoyed at another brick to haul back in 10000BC so the pharaoh can have his stupid tomb or whatever. He wasn’t thinking, they’re going to be nuts over this stuff in a few millennia.
That being said, I think open source is facing existential trials in the near future.
How do you use the symbols?
Some know the OP is into GitLab more than GitHub ^^
At this point I should just set invent.kde.org as my new tab page.
What feature are you waiting for? 🙂
KeepassXC autotype on wayland.
Just a few more years…
Edit: Holy shit nvm, literally release 2 days ago. I am happy.
I see that edit! 😂🎉
I just saw this and thought of you!

This is your day! 🫶
That would be aight!
Typeahead in Nautilus
Did that go away at some point? I thought we had that since forever?
It got replaced with a search function. It searches as you type and filters your view as it finds things. Typeahead just jumps to to first file that matches your input.
Ah. I had to do some deep reading to find that this can sometimes be called typeahead search. 😅 I get you. Myeah. One of the reasons why I like to just use the terminal, or terminal file browsers like yazi.
You can find more info here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/whiteboards/-/work_items/142 and here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/merge_requests/1030
Yeah it’s weird that this is not default versus initiating a deep search on type. I would expect a file/directory selection when typing a letter, only files in the current directory, like you describe.
This post claims it went missing around 2012: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/search-vs-the-old-type-ahead-find/772
We’ll probably never see it in the official version, but at least there’s forks that reimplement. Note that in this thread a GNOME dev says that the suggested patch to reimplement typeahead is of bad quality and to expect bugs, but I’ve been running this patched version for so many years now, I’ve never encountered a bug related to the typeahead search, ever. They’re just being stubborn for no reason.
I’m waiting for Linux 7.4 to drop so I can have non-Steam games working with my Switch 2 Pro Controller out of the box.
I would recommend the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless. I’m using that as my main, for Rocket League and other games. Works great. Cheaper and better than Xbox controllers, PS controllers, even Nintendo’s ones. I think I paid around $40–50 for it. Much, much better quality than my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, which was almost $200 and now barely works.
I doubt there is a better deal at present than the Gamesir Nova Lite, but Gamesir keeps undercutting themself.

Dual hall effect sticks (no dead zone, that’s right, zero dead zone), wireless USB, bluetooth, and wired functionality for $25. That’s $5 less than the MSRP on the Logitech F710.
The 8BitDo has TMR sticks and Hall effect triggers though, which is even better. Worth the extra money IMO, but of course opinion based.
Factorio allows you to transfer items between space stations now.
IDK if that’s the kind of thing the post is about, and there has certainly not been 5 years. Also, no time for Yay!, because I’m busy designing some space platform fabric…
Await in default values when? Auto await on use variables when? Pattern matching in JS when?
That last one is coming and I’m excited.
When Krita overhauled the text tool (☆▽☆)
I was so overjoyed when that happened that was originally going to be the subject of this meme. I make all my memes in Krita, and I wanted that text tool so bad. It wraps around! Wraps around, I tell you!
Maaaaagic!
I’m still salty about Affinity being bought by Canva and THAT’S the version that has image trace built-in 😭
Reminds me of that screenshot where some chronic gooner asked the Cyberpunk devs way before release what kind of sex den simulation would be available.
Yeeees luanti now has controller support so i can play with my phone and a clip on controller 😍
Then the project gets archived 6 months later and nobody forks it…
