I've added a whole bunch of DRM YUV pixel formats to pixfmtdb! I'm not too far from covering all DRM formats, currently I've described three quarters of these (110 out of 148).
TIL about Microsoft Comic Chat, an IRC client from 1996
Sway 1.12 has been released!
In 2024 someone posted a bounty for a new feature in hydroxide (a ProtonMail bridge). It was a while since I've tried bounties, so at first I considered seeing if that would prompt high-quality, reviewer-friendly patches. After thinking about it for a bit, I've decided to reject the bounty: drive-by contributors aren't what the project needs, money is likely to foster a toxic environment due to failed expectations, and maintainer pressure would increase.
These few last months, I've received more and more low-quality pull requests written via LLMs (sometimes autonomous). Authors can't even be bothered to read the thread to find out that there is no bounty anymore.
I've closed the original issue in the hope that it'll stop PR spam, let's see if that helps…
Display Next Hackfest is over!
This edition was fantastic, I was super happy to meet up with display folks (greybeards and newcomers alike), and we got a lot of patches written and volleyed betwen kernel and compositor devs. Of course, with Hackers (1995) in the background.
meri has added an upload button, loading indicator and cancel button to gamja, the Web IRC client!
We've launched a new website for Goguma :)
Goguma v0.9 has been released!
The Goguma IRC mobile client now supports reactions!
(This requires a modern server supporting IRCv3 client message tags, and is only enabled when the server allows reactions.)

@pq@floss.social I've always been wondering about this. It seems some related metadata is spec'ed in HID section 15.18 "descriptive controls".
