@josch "and tango makes three" tells the true story about two gay penguins in a zoo who adopted an egg. Not really a human family being portrayed but same message

Getting to a point where my #Debian setup feels comfy and there isn't much left to tinker. What am I supposed to do now ? Distrohop ?

@vics fuck that, I am glad I can have a 4 day workweek (yay unions)

I tried meli as terminal mail client now for a bit and it's growing on me. Still have to memorize the keybinds though. Also GPG support seems to be broken atm.
#Debian

@cccpresser ooh, this looks very promising

I present: Mousai on Debian unstable

@Anarcat @jmm basically, yeah. helvum lets you connect the stuff but pwvu has more sliders, too.
https://github.com/saivert/pwvucontrol

@Anarcat @jmm
Well pwvu allows for finegrained pipewire control whereas pavucontrol does not.
2) basically https://codeberg.org/werdahias/graffe/src/branch/main/.config/sway/config#L58
5) :)

@starlabssystems I feel like stickers would be great either way. I still didn't have time to write a proper post about my StarBook :(

@Anarcat @jmm
1) couldn't get pwvu to build yet but it gets rid of pulseaudio totally so WFM (also cleaner interface)
2) raise / lower / mute volume and have a optical feedback
3) yeah :D
4) I guess it makes limited sense in NA
also wormhole-rs which I should really upload to NEW soon

@Anarcat nice post. Commenting (shamelessly advertising ) here my discoveries:

swtchr - a GNOME-like window switcher for sway
swayosd - OSD for sway (in NEW)
librespeed-cli - measure internet speed
meli - terminal mail client
fonts-schraubenkiste - label your screws
pwvucontrol - pipewire version of pavucontrol (not in debian yet)
railway-gtk - query travel info

@highvoltage @awai there's also OS Installer by Peter Eisenmann; GTK + Python based. I feel like Debian could use a "sleek" installer and ab wxpert one to ease access for first-time users

Kooha is now available in Debian unstable too. It's a neat GTK app to record your screen and / or audio.

Now I am stuck in Villach for an hour :/

My vacation is ending tomorrow but I had a great time overall. Visited a new country (Slovenia). Was impressed by a car-free Ljubljana and the politeness everywhere. Can only recommend it as travel destination.

@FineFindus right. I will try to get udisks into the archive, but this is not that of a huge priority atm.

Man, looking at the election results in East Germany I feel both angry and depressed.
I fear that Germany will become a fascist state again.
The great Sokee put it really well a few years back:

Seems like resistance and staying true to humans rights is the only solution for now.

@dusnm @ariadne @BrodieOnLinux I think company backing of Linux is great, but lets remember the companies are backing Linux because they have to and because it makes them money very much despite GPLv2. If a viable MIT licensed alternative shows up to be used in place of Linux, companies will dump Linux in a heartbeat (which I find very unfortunate, copyleft ftw).

@FineFindus don't mind the hijacking :) We haven't worked on GNOME Disks tbh. udisks-rs would need packaging from scratch, but that is easily doable. It hasn't been on my agenda yet, but seems straightforward enough. I take it gnome-disks needs a specific commit of udisks-rs right now ?
