Random internet forums from 2010 that require you to register in order to view images or access links are the worst.
Unfortunately, these seem to be the only place on the internet where you can find that one obscure piece of information you need.

TIL that you can enable 120hz refresh rate with UTM/QEMU by using the "video" kernel command line option, for example:
video=Virtual-1:3840x2160@120
I wonder why this isn't exposed in UTM settings and/or why QEMU display EDID only exposes 60/75hz modes by default.

@tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud @liaizon@social.wake.st @gnome@floss.social oh no. Thanks for letting me know. Looks like we broke these with the recent Hebbot upgrade.

@pojntfx @nila Pixi is a pretty good fit for "cross platform manifests"!
https://prefix.dev
For example, the Pixi manifest for Shortwave, which both works on macOS and Windows (and Linux):
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Shortwave/-/blob/pixi/pixi.toml
(WIP - not merged yet)

2) Wrap the Conda package and all of the dependencies in some MSIX / macOS app bundle. This way the user doesn't need some additional package manager, but you have to deal with updates (unless you publish it in MS Store / AppStore).
Oh, and you don't need Conda (the tool), Pixi can be used as global package manager, just like homebrew or winget (but is using the same Conda package format).
Replying to
@ju@chaos.social @thibaultamartin@mamot.fr @typst@mastodon.social the preview is part of Tinymist. I don't think it's the same one as the proprietary web version.

@jimmac@mastodon.social wouldn't have been possible without the great gnome.org redesign - I was able to reuse a lot of the styling from there :)
Replying to
@pojntfx @nila the most easiest / straight-forward way would be to publish the app to conda-forge, this way you don't have to deal with self-updates. It's comparable with Flathub, but cross platform.
The Pixi manifest describes the environment which you can use for development (cross platform), for the actual packaging you use a separate recipe file, which describes the needed dependencies + commands to build the app.
For example (WIP)
https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/32284
@chergert@my.devsuite.app fyi, 120hz should be working now with kernel 6.19.
Replying to
@ju@chaos.social I think in the end it always depends on the specific use case.
But for content based websites or blogs I definitely can recommend Astro. It was fun to implement it!
Replying to
@LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world thanks for the ping, I missed it last night whilst curating the post. We'll take care of it.
Right at the moment we don't have any formal editorial guideline (yet?).
#ThisWeekInGNOME is now already in its sixth year! Time flies! 🚀
